Item sell prices

I'm kinda wondering if this is a bug. Seems to me that item prices are too low for some items. At lvl 20 items most yellow items sell for maybe 10+ sp which seems ok I guess. But green items which are supposed to be higher quality they yellow items will sell for 20cp. White items will also sell for like 20cp. Now it seems to me that 20cp is really too low for green items by far and even for white con items.

Maybe the problem with respec costs are that just you are supposed to be able to sell is broken on vendor sale price?

Course another thought that occurs to me is what do I need money for? There are no repair costs and when you die and loose a star it comes back really fast... I'm lvl 21 and have almost 8G. I've bought a few things on the market to help me with crafting and I've sold pretty much anything I get in resources since once I'm done with a tier I don't see any value to having the lower tier resources. I can't really use it to make stuff that I can research for more xp cause you really don't get any.

Besides which as I level up I pretty much save all the items I can research and that generally gets me to the cap on my crafting skill.

So I'm thinking that while now people are worried about money if people keep playing at high lvls then eventually the market is going to be flooded with money.

Today the only thing I really see myself spending money on is respecing, which is so expensive I can't really undo the powers I no longer want after the last couple patches. But this is the subject for another post.

    This is really a problem. At 25 some items I've seen don't even have prices. Seems like green items are the ones with the biggest problems, some are ok but some are messed up. Yellow and blue item pricing looks reasonable. White items look like they could use a small increase in price and green items are very much messed up. Many of them selling for less then even white items.

    For example as a reward for doing a quest I got a green item, Density Suit. The sell price on this item is 0c. Seems like normally green items are twice the value of a yellow item. And a blue items is 3x the value of a yellow item. white items are like 1/10 to 1/20 the price of a yellow item.

    I think that white items need a bit of an increase and green items need to be completely reviewed.

    most of those green items that cost 0 are quest rewards with unique stats on them. They aren't ment to be sold thus have no sell price.

    Your supposed to keep those for macroing in your other builds depending on what your fighting.

    *sigh* I used to have 8g once. Then I decided to respec my last five decision (talent, power and two advantages) and I had to pay all of it.

    I agree, you're raising a reasonable point. People are complaining on respec prices, maybe there is some problem with item pricing instead. I just noticed my items sell for anywhere from 3000 resources down to 45 resources, which is pretty silly. Also, it appears some quests give a teeny tiny amount of cash (quests given by citizens in MC jump to mind).

    Don't get me started on citizen quests... People talk about dry spots where there isn't enough content to get levels up and then we have these citizen quests that could easily give full xp giving about 25% of the xp of a normal quest. Not even worth the time to do them esp since they tend to be on the other side of the zone...
