here on dreamweaver token prices jumped a bit, just was wondering why? tokens were going for about 12k for about 2-3 months and then 2 days ago they jumped up to 14.5k, why the steep price hike? and is there a tactic to bring the prices down?

    Yes, because people really need 900+ dex or 1000+ magic just for the lulz

    That's because other than LC, RT is full of a bunch of greedy ****. RT is the PWE of PvE servers.

    Same on archosaur. It is because shoppers are spending their gold on ocean orbs right now intead of packs. Therefore the supply or tokens is minimal.

    Wow!!! Never reroll on a PVP server if you think 14k is expensive, on HL it can easy go to 17-20k the weekend cause of NW and TW and it's around 15-17k the rest of the time since a while.

    That's the same as pansy RT server.

    I'm just glad, if I so choose to do so, can buy whatever I need with a credit card instead of contributing to greedy idiots.

    If they are greedy idiots, why not jump in the gap in the market and do what they do but cheaper ?

    You could help the players on your server get cheap tokens and in the process make a little bit of coins (not too much because you dont want to be a greedy idiot yourself)

    I have done that. But the greedy idiots buy me out and immediately resell them, so instead, I just give extra tokens to good friends so they don't have to buy them.

    So if they buy you out and resell them, why dont you just buy new ones and proceed ? That leaves them with tokens they cant sell because yours are cheaper b:laugh You actually get a chance to F the greedy idiots in the butt while doing your good work as well, what more do you want ?!

    (yes, i intent proceed this until i succeed explaining to you that it is nothing to do with greedy idiots, but with normal laws of supply and demand)

    It's the market. Not enough packs being opened leads to low supply of tokens while demand stays about the same, leading to price increases.

    They were 10-12k for a long time on dw. Haven't checked last few weeks though.
