Hey guys, I took a long rest from Pwi (about 2.5 years)...and when I loggin today, I noticed that the money amount is much higher. Sorry if this sounds confusing. What I mean is, back in 2009, the cost for fashion in the auction was like 300k, 500k, etc. Now, I need most of the stuff in the millions...Also, the mounts costs "a lot." What happen? Also, does the different price change color if it is high? (1mil font in yellow color, and 15 mil in orange). b:shocked

    Inflation is what happened. Lots of it.

    You can't really expect the economy of a new game to stay the same for multiple years.

    As for the prices, they recent added a change where the amounts of coin are displayed in different colors.

    They sell packs now, and no one bothers with boutique items when you the player can make a huge profit of the items in the packs, but i dought it, you would have to be one lucky person to get something like scroll of tome which is what iv'e been buying packs for. once i bought 1000 packs and all i got was tokens now that made me rage quit.

    I find it hard to believe that out of 1,000 packs all you got were tokens (unless you are including Best Luck Tokens in there?) because simply put, while Tokens are by and large the most common item to drop out of packs, when you buy such a large quantity of packs, you are invariably going to obtain something other than just the standard tokens of luck, and the tokens of best luck. Even if it is nothing on the scale of scrolls of tomes or matchless wings / wings of the cloud charger or what have you. You still will get something out of these packs when you buy 1,000 of them.

    Too bad we don't get a cost of living raise in this game economy. The price keeps going up while the drops stay the same or worse.

    People have to understand that the pack sales have little to do with the coin cost of items (unless you're trading your tokens for wine for wedding money). It's just that with more people joining the game npcing stuff and picking up coin the amount of coin ingame increase. The majority of the coin we spend usually just goes to another player when buying products when we buy stuff from them. Coin actually disappears very slowly compared to how fast it generates because we only spend them through AH tax and teleports for the most part. So with more coin on players over the years obviously the cost of luxuries will increase as well.

    ok what ever you say bud i guess you know everything including peoples luck aye, if it didnt happen i wouldn't of have bothered to say anything about it and no it was just tokens, guess that tells you how much you know.

    Actually, the massive amounts of coin causing the inflation are from the Ten Million Big Notes for two Best Lucks. If PWI removed this, perhaps along with the 99,999 coins for 10 regular tokens(which could be used as an alternative if the big notes were removed), prices would likely go down, though it would still take ages due to the already huge amount of coins and ten million big notes that are already in the system.

    I guess that is what happens when 50mil+ register and play, put various amounts of coin in the system, then leave to play a better game.

    Big sales start (usually packs, rep or orbs).
    People want to buy the items.
    People buy gold in order to get the items.
    All of the cheaper gold is purchased by said people.
    Remaining gold for sale is high-priced.
    Items in AH and catshops raise their prices to match the new higher priced gold.

    And of course, with sale upon sale the gold price will only keep going up, and never recover.
