+1 Council's Reach & Experiment Results

So like, I think [Removed by Support] (you should only list things for trade that you are actually trading), but wanting to show off obnoxiously is still much less douchey than that other forum user's recent suggestion of "list everything at 1c for the first hour with no intention of trading it".

Like, at least it should be REALLY OBVIOUS that this item is mis-listed at best; no one accidentally gets a corrupted 6-link unique like this without having any idea that, say, you could vendor this for much more than 1c

More than happy to sell this, but I'm afraid there's, Nothing in Psc's that's worth it, including multiple mirrors.

But yeh, you kinda skipped the main part of thee post.

The main part of the post was that this was an 'experiment' to see chat results, no? [Removed by Support] To be clear. And I think that anyone that reacted explosively or by trying repeatedly to buy it is an idiot for thinking you'd actually sell for 1c. So maybe it's you that missed the point of my post, not the other way around?

Anyway, I wouldn't pay more than 1 mirror for this, so have fun never selling it if you value it above "multiple". It's pretty much an Assassin-exclusive item since you really need the crit to make the power charges worthwhile.

Edit to be entirely clear why I would not pay more than a mirror for it:
This is currently a 3-ex base unique, which we all know will only go down over the course of Prophecy league until maybe 2/3 of the way through the league (after that the threat of it no longer dropping will make the price go up). We are currently under 1/6 of the way through the league. If your goal is to get a 6-link version with this corruption, then you just buy a ton of the base, unlinked, you corrupt them until you get this corruption, and then you spend 1850 vaal orbs plus 1500 fusing and 350 jewellers and it's 6-linked. That's, like, what, 50ex of value? It takes some time but the corruption isn't so rare that I'd pay 2 whole mirrors for this bow. No saltiness. [Removed by Support]

ya know, this game is how you make it; it was set up with lots of things to do but in no way tells you how to go about your business. of course, you can be banned for dishonoring what GGG approves as unacceptable and being rude in terms of religion or very personal attacks but doing an experiment as harmless as this should not cause the commotion people are ranting about.

i think this is a neat social experiment. kudos on the corrupt- great big balls you must have!! people are gonna rant and holla over a multitude of reasons but you are never going to meet them, nor will you play with them and in the end, no one is hurt (maybe their internet feelings?). some people are gonna tell you you're a dick but that is only because they are jealous or feel that they are more entitled to tell you how to behave in a game that is up to the player to decide. take it or leave it; opinions matter only if you let them ;)

Hi, I didn't agree to be part of your experiment. Can you please remove me from it?

Why you got it listed for 1c? There's probably somebody who'd still buy it for a bunch lol

So everyone who's trying to find a Reach on poe.trade has to scroll past it. *rolls eyes*

Nice Vaaling. Congratulations on a good result.


A bit of fun, a bit of self/ Community experiment here, We are a capitalist community, constantly trying to trade up, buying low and selling high right? I'm in the wrong, listing it at such a low price with a inside poe memes joke, But All the harm I'm doing here is wasting a few seconds of your time and perhaps showing off abit, or getting your hopes up abit.

Got 500+ whispers, (Can't reveal chat log due to name and shame)
10 of which were deeply offended, and threw insults with curses.
25 of which were slightly offended.
25 countered offered with funny offers - 4 Nerco maps + George, 1& 2 Bananas, Chocolate, Templar pants, a kidney and a spare hand, but the best one of all/ top offer, a wife withhh her mother.
50-75 of which played along / to the meme "lightwoods" joke
5-10 informed me the price is too low.
5 counter offed at a lower price point.
3 Pm'ed me on forums.
2 contacted me via reddit
7 Total congratulations (Reddit, Forums, guild and ingame)
Rest ended with single poe.trade pm link.

Most persistent player continuously pm'ed me for 8 hours, before and after I slept and woke up.
Most inpatient player Pm'ed me via poe link 15 times. (Yes I had a /afk poke on auto reply)

A bit of fun after all, Poe is a game, and games are for "fun" but whom is more sinister? Me listing it as a joke? or the countless purchase attempts trying to take advantage of me?

Ps if you seriously think listing a 6L T1 unique, WITH good corruption at 1c is a price strategy/ technique, I highly recommend better self evaluation.

Results Conclusion, The haplessness of others in this case (me) getting lucky with corruption, inflicts mostly a negative emotions to others, Jealous is rampant, and trading in Poe is prettty cut throat.

In terms of jokes/ less serious note., A wife anddd her mother is 4 kidneys and 4 hands right? I was kinda swayed when a guy offered me Templar pants.

Lib.


You miss one important point. And that is self a regulating anti smartass inbuilt system into human beings. Imagine everyone being so happy with their lucky drop/corrupt and showing off items on poe trade like that. You would have to skip a lot of things in order to find what you want.

Also, that bow is not really all that super mega awesome to create such epic hype around it. I assure you that every day dozens, maybe hundreds of people drop/make tramendous items and not everyone is trying to draw attention to themselves because of that. It's not really an achievement since it is more about lucky and if you get into the pricing of this of around 25-50 ex depending on how this bow develops - it's a pretty mid-high level of luck, but not really ever close to things like mirror worthy gear or Legacy Kaom's corrupts etc.

As a cherry on top of that - your statistic just show your disposition to people: no respect.

Cheers.

the question with that bow is: ggg doesn't like uniques as "best in slot"-items much.

i'm strongly expecting a recursive nerf in this league or the end.

Spoiler
or what else i can do here to get the darn bow for the one exalt i posess?


so get your mirror as long as they get offered ;)

-> Get Drillneck
-> Accidentally throw it into "2 c b/o" stash tab
-> Get 239234923923499 PMs after 10 seconds, mostly from 3 or 4 individuals.
-> Correct the mistake, reprice it
-> One guy is massively offended, because now I have the correct price
-> ????
-> Profit (???)


@vio

You can just go and kill the Council. Once. Just like me. :D

Multiple mirrors is laughable

+1 Powercharges doesn't seem hard to corrupt. I got 3 of 8 bows a few weeks back with +1 powercharges so I can definitely see someone spending the 50 as mentioned before to get the same results as you for far less than 1 mirror.

I would say its about as best in slot as Disfavour. Why should Reach get nerfed when Disfavour hasn't? Because the fight to get it isn't as hard as Uber Atziri? I made an endgame lab runner, I can just go do the same for uber atziri and in 2 days Im running her as well.

This nerf philosophy is ridiculous and it ruins these kinds of games.
