Reviving the gold piece!

How about making PE merchants sell green level 60 items for the same price they'd buy an identified one from you?

I can see 3 benefits:

1) Helps with refining burden.
2) Give a purpose too gold piece.
3) Lower AD price of refining items on ah.

Any problems for players I did not think of?

    Why would you ask for equipment instead of stones?

    because equipment also serves the purpoues of being.. well.. gear... =P

    Beyond that there is no reason.

    Merchants selling green, why not. But not in PE. Nobody wants to enter PE. You have to hold your breath, respec your chat, your visibility, your DP-bility, and so on.
    Implement the feature in the relms instead. That will give some usefulness to the seal vendors. Yunno, the seal vendors, the merchants from whom you can never buy because you've levelled up.

    Sounds good to me!

    Well who is actually using green equipment pieces for refining artifacts after they have reached rare quality?

    Just let us buy refining stones that give around 500 refiningpoints...

    Not too take all farming away from players but reduce the price.

    The thing is that equipment, especially green is extremely tedious and theres no reason to ask for that over rp stones that can be stacked. Gold can be botted and if you're just letting equipment being bought, then you're just tempting people to prescript refining.

    I think rp stones would be even more open to botting as you said they are stackable. As for tempting prescripted refining that is due to the whole refining process in the first place.
    Legit/Casual players that don't have hours to farm rp stones could at least spend their accumulated gold on something other then pots and inj kits.

    My only push back would be that it would be something new for botters/spammers to latch on to. Right now gold isn't a concern because it has minimal value. The more value you give it, the more reason for the third party sellers to offer it.

    I think the fact that it is easy to obtain makes it less attractive to buy from a gold seller. But yes raising it's value may raise it's desirability. I think that non stackable green level 60 items for sale at merchants is a good compromise between more botting/scripting/gold spamming and raising it's worth.

    Well the more unreasonable a system the more likely people are to take the less legit option. With equipment all you need to do is buy 1 item, use it for rp and then repeat to have it more easily scriptable. Doing it 1 by 1 by hand would be too much of a pain as it is right now and there's no advantage to have it that way as far as I can see. It's good to try to think of ways to try and solve issues though.

    So do you want them to sell legendary artifact gear or do you want them to sell vendor trash that could only be used as refinement?

    If its the latter, then just sell the refinement stones directly.
