Why do I make so little off magical equipment?

Is this that flooded market I was reading about a few weeks ago? Or am I out of date. In my day a basic +1 Sword sold for 1,000 GP A players +1 sword (at our table) was bought for 1/2 that. I sol a +2 Great Sword for less than 2 silver!
I should be rich with all the +1 or +2 items I have sold to date. The game is Wild on Monty Haul XP but Ebeneezer with the money!

It doesn't make sense to make tons of money off a low level green item that drops everywhere all the time.
3 gold ha I have 11gold
I feel ya. The thing is that, sadly, the loot in NW is nothing like in d&d. The mobs drop green items, enchantments and potions like mad. Blue items are almost as good as green items. And as it happens in all the mmo's the epics which appear at higher level are amazing and render everything else useless.
The stat's mean something completely different in NW than in d&d in terms of how they benefit the character.
"The harder the game, the better."
Holy **** you are an idiot....
It is all relative. Clearly you missed that
Let's assume you had 50g instead of 3g, what would you spend that gold on? Gold is almost useless and certainly isn't needed in large quantities specially after you get your horse.
When's the RickRoll show up, btw?
No a Troll thread just a complaint Tin.
$370? Can you give me change for this?
Turn on zone chat and have a browse. lol
Skill kits, injury kits, starter companions, certain crafting mats.
Even though you has supposedly gaming for over 30 years, you're obviously new to MMO gaming.
Welcome to the internets, me shall be your guide today.
100 copper = 1 silver
100 silver = 1 gold
100 gold = 1 platinum (it used to be 10)
100 platinum = 1 astral diamond
TBH there's too much AD going around in this game it's ridiculous. In PnP D&D AD are so rare and valuable most people only have a few of them. Owning even a single astral diamond means you are filthy filthy rich.
And to top it all off most magical items are worth less in this game. I can't believe I'm throwing away a Long sword +5. If you have that kind of monty python type of campaign it's a disaster of epic proportions.
Think of green items as nonmagical goblin garbage weaponry. Or think of 1 copper as worth a bunch of gold pieces. Either one works. .... if you think of the junky items as junky, a low value makes sense. Or if you prefer to think of junk as godly, then adjusting your mental image of the value of a copper piece works too. That makes a 50 copper item really worth 50000 gold, its just that copper is worth a TON in this world right now. ???
Or think of it as a post-gold society. Real life example works here. At one time, a substantially large gold coin was "only" worth a few dollars. Today such a coin is worth many hundreds from the metal value alone (more for antiquity reasons is ignored here). Neverwinter MMO is hundreds of years after NWN, perhaps we have, like in the US today, 200 years of inflation to blame!
Maybe we should be allowed to trade for Zen or AD instead of Gold.
that's another thing, how is it that green is MORE COMMON than white?
just because it's higher level gear doesn't mean it deserves to be green when that makes only 1% of the drops white.
green means... uncommon? as in, "NOT" a common drop.
"The harder the game, the better."
Don't listen to these people. The game is ruined by the bad balancing, farming, exploits. Gear has flooded the market. It's all about Cryptic sucking every dollar possible, to the detriment of the game, out of us players.
"Welcome to the internet." Try that. INTERNET. Not internets, interwebs, internetz, interwebz, or any of the other dumb variations that people use today.
So why do you play this game?
