Economy is dead, Jim

No one is wanting to buy, everyone is selling too high. Feeling desperate, players not only pay more money now to the AD sellers, but more people are being nudged to buy AD.
You killed it, good job. I've never seen a team top this.

BUT many prices in AH are set by players (and AD sellers) and Cryptic is not responsible for the greed of these players. Many AH sellers have difficulties to adapt to the new spending powers.
After the leadership change my income went down from 50k to 10k per day => now I have to wait patiently for a price drop in AH of about 75%, before I spend my ADs on optional, expensive items- for example "ring of avenger" was 650k before leadership change and now I'm waiting until price drops at least below 200k before buying. Many adult casual playing PVE players like me are patient and hate to be ripped off (I personally hate being ripped off more than paying high prices).
Im anti bot.. but even I know that the WHOLE system is dependent on them to actually progress..
I cant at all trust them to remove rp and make the grind less. I will not play this game if it takes 3 years to progress something.
YOU WANT to fight bots, make a system that a normal player can play through and progress.. without the need for them.
Do you think they will do that ? Do you have trust in them to do it right?
Refinement requirements vs possible drops are completely out of whack in this game. Worse then I've ever seen.
Every casual killed by these changes, is like another youngling cut down by a lightsaber.
Do you find this game entertaining and enjoyable? I sure dont. It's a chore, it's a second job. I dont need either one in my life at this moment. The people in charge do not seem to understand that.
So far the only thing that has kept me invested is time served and friends. The time served is constantly made less and less important with every decision that Cryptic makes. And most of my friends are already talking about jumping ship when BDO goes live. So....yeah.
As I've said in other posts. Make a toon with epic gear and rank 8's and 9's and go run Thayan Magical Shelter in Well of Dragons and tell me how great of a game this is.
AD cap ==>> total inflow of AD into the game decreases, which creates two effects:
1st ) less people with enough AD to buy stuff ==>> prices go down on AH
2nd ) more people buying ZEN and exchanging (more inflow of AD) ==>> selling price of ZEN decreases
Right now the 1st effect surpasses the 2nd and it was aggravated by the change in the Potency marks.
For players this means that buying stuff with real money is more expensive and buying stuff in the game takes a long time due to RAD cap.
To NW this means that more money will enter the game because of players' impatience to get the AD they need.
They were pretty clear about this in the economy post, I paraphrase, "if you don't have enough time to play (i.e. if you have a life) then the only way to get stuff is paying for it".
This is what I have been saying all along. Remove the need for bots... and they will disappear.
That being said, I resoundly reject the notion that the economy is dead. I'm still able to sell the majority of my goods, dragon egg prices are low enough that I can sell my rings at a profit, etc. The only thing that I'm surprised about is that the price of Unified Elements hasn't fallen, but since I'm a net supplier not a net consumer of those, that's actually very very much in my favor.
More RP + AD for us, not the bots.

Thanks for all the fish.
The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
they just need to get rid of stronghold ad prices, trasmo and reinforcements. Put some more epic drop (for salvage purposes) and thats ok. maybe bring back dailies too
Deflation, however, spells out doom. People hoard money and don't buy goods.
It also is, however, the state the NW economy is in, currently...
