Mirror of Kalandra is unhealthy for this game

some problems i can think of:

1) Giving people with items worth more than a mirror an infinite source of money from "mirroring fees"

2) Causing end game players to all use the same item, something GGG has attempted to avoid through comparitively weaker unique items

3) Effecively setting the max item price at the same as a Mirror. I have no idea what happens to the economy but it cant be good ><



Some guy was in trade forums has already mirrored a 100gcp+ EV armor twice today for exalted each.

1) Wrong. Can only mirror 1 item. This makes the rest of your points irrelevant.

And finding a mirror is 1/8473713379000

So argument invalid

There's so little info out about the mirror o_o

Is it a random drop?
Does it drop at any level, or only specific areas?

None of that is a problem IF the rarity/price of a mirror is at least the amount of orbs that on average would take you to create a godly item.

Why use a mirror instead of trading for orbs and crafting yourself in that case? Because that would be an average amount of orbs, you are not guaranteed to get said godly item, while the mirror is a guarantee. you could argue that by crafting the item you get the chance to sell mirroring, but that's a gamble and it's fine I think.

If the price is lower, why bother crafting yourself, just find a guy to mirror his item for you.

So, mirror is fine if it's expensive. However in another thread someone said it's possible to buy one for 10-15 exalts, and IMHO that's way too cheap.

Sure you know that the chance of getting MoK is so low that you could play for years and never get one?

OP can come back to us when he has a full set of mirrored godly gear from top players.

1) I don't think there will be that many mirrors around that you can get that much money out of it ;)

3) A copy may have a maximum price, but the original items still can be worth much more.

2) Let's say you get a mirror for 10 Exalt. Think about what you can do with 900 Alteration, 300 Jewlers, 70 Fusing, 1 Regal and 3 Exalt.

But if the drop-chances are really that low (let's say 1 ever 1000h ?) there won't be many players who can afford a perfekt copyed item-set. (you still need someone who copy it for you ;))

Mirrors are like player-made uniques. This also doesn't matter in hardcore since both the base item and the mirrored item will eventually leave circulation.
