Honestly it is the Greedy player that wants the fast gil instead of keeping prices the same....now the person behind him will come and raise it just a couple more thousand and the person behind him does the same thing...It totally sucks. I think that there should be a cap on cost of things.

The prices have been all over the place. I watched the lu shang's drop to at it's lowest point just above 2 mil, while the vermy cloak had one listed last night that sold for 6.5 mil. I know about a month ago the rod was going for about 4 mil as was the cloak.

It's not that people are greedy, they just want to sell it for a price and do so. If they put a cap on the items... I would quit, that would defeat the whole purpose of the free market.

I've done as many as 10 straight runs of the stupid KS30 without seeing a claw drop. That's endless hours of soloing stuff for seals, or getting together a large number of stubborn people to coordinate a God fight.

In conclussion: 1)That BC is the incarnation of satan and needs to be distroyed & 2) People who don't want to pay that much are greatly outnumber by those who do.

Other items, however, are the opposite, I saw many Lu-shangs get return for a week because people simply refused to pay over 3mil for one. Eventually all the rods that got returned were relisted and bought for about 500,000 less.

Ok let me ask you this...When you go to the AH do you put it up at current selling price or 1k less. If someone jacks the prices up 100k say from 125k to 225k...many more players then not will put it up for 225k or round that. Hence the jack in prices...Simple

Ouch. Not that I'd ever do it because I have better things to splurge my hard earned REAL money on, but with all the prices sky-rocketing, the only way I'd ever get a single piece of my prefered end game gear will be through buying gil >.<

Make's me happy I snagged my Kabrakans Axe before it bolted up to 300K from 50K -_-

Blame the people buying them, not the sellers.... if no one bought, I don't think too many people would relist it for the same high price after eating the initial listing fee.

hi this is coldbault again

i have seen price both sky rocket and fall (mostly clamb) yea this is BS that all the prices have gone up. If SE does want to help lower prices just make NM's drop rate go way up so we have more stock and compatition (AKA lower pices). I mean in about 1/2 a yr the EH went from 200-300k (sept) to 700-800k. thats just insane. Yes SE has booted some gill sellers, but hae u stoped to think thats it's not the gill sellers the problem, but it's the fact that we hate them so much that SE focuses on them and not the real problem at hand. U may say it's the buyers fault, but NM item have high demand so people will do anything to get them and for things like food, thoughs will allways be bought no matter what they cost. B/c every1 uses them for exp pt's or things like BC's they will always be that way. If every1 would stop complaining about the prices and do something about them u won't have much to complain about. ae since food prices r high i've lvled cooking (easy) and fishing so that i could make my own foods for my char. Every time i've been selling these i've under cut like no other to everything i've sold, but no 1 can do this alone. Yesterday i've seen some1 jack the price of a scroll up from 150k to 350k and scew over peeps b/c of it. This was also a quest were most peeps buy it b/c they have sold there for begaining cash. Price can be lowered with SE's help, but u need to stop blaming gill sellers or SE for this. From what u all say this game supports free market yet i keep hearing SE needs to fix this, or SE. THE AH PRICES R CONTROLLED BY US!!!!! not SE. IF u sell them lower the prices, if ur buying try get the item on ur own. k i'll update this later my class just let out :P
