Friendly Reminder from the Exalted Orb Owners Association (EOOA)

Welcome to another thread brought to you by the Exalted Orb Owners Association (EOOA). You own an exalted orb correct? Great, you're a member! Nice to meet you, I'm DestroTheGod. Continue reading this thread! Otherwise, shoo!



Welcome to this thread. This is a friendly reminder to inflate the price of Exalted Orbs. I must say, since my last thread, MAJOR progress has been made. But it's not enough. People think this is some kind of joke thread, and that I'm not serious. You should take this thread extremely seriously.

Exalted orbs are the premium currency in this game bested only by mirrors. They are able to be obtained by anybody at any time, and because of that, they are capable of being used very widely as a trade currency by the majority of the player base. Owning an exalted orb is a privilege bestowed upon you by the gods of RNG and sometimes even Chris himself when he deems you worthy of reward. Not everybody can have one, but you were chosen.

Since you own such a rare and valuable currency, sell it for high prices! Don't settle for the norm. Do NOT become a sheep to the currency websites that are trying to 'standardize' prices. You ARE the monopoly. YOU define the price. Exalted orbs are as valuable as YOU want. Don't let anybody else tell you what it is worth. Sell them for HIGH! The current rate for exalted is 1:35 - 1:40 for chaos to exalted. WTF is this bullshit? When I look at that I want to throw up. I am currently advertising all my exalted orbs for 1:50 and hopefully we can reach 1:60.

Remember, for every exalted orb you own, and every chaos you raise the price of the exalted orb by, you gain one chaos per exalted orb, FREE. That's right, FREE. The price of exalted orbs was previously 14. *ugh, I want to pass out just typing out how low that garbage is*. Then it hit 25 which was great progress. But even now, that is horrible. And guess what? 35 is horrible too. So don't stop. Raise the price.

$$ BECOME RICH. $$

Go out there, try to sell your exalted orbs for higher prices.

I still haven't got my complimentary mousemat.

I'd like to add, that thanks to the work of members of the EOOA, my one exalted has become more valuable.



Sadly I can't just link '1', but I promise I'm not trying to brag. I know people are sitting on like 1k exalted orbs.

Anyway, 1 of those exalted orbs was valued at 25 chaos a while ago. Now it's at 35 chaos. I made 10 chaos from the exalted orb doing nothing! FIEJWAOFJEWAIO, how could this not excite you??? The thrill of increasing your net worth so easily, with such little effort, to just become... more wealthy, isn't that what you want? Easy money?

Wealth, do you desire it? Then reach out and grab it with a fist.

Anybody who owns an exalted orb is a leader of the organization. There is no solitary monarch-esque figure. How could anybody be? No, I am simply here to represent what is the absolute common good. This is LOGICALLY, and RATIONALLY what you should be doing as an exalted orb owner. Anything else is insanity! Thus make your own mousemat. :D

Hi

It is nice to know that greed isn't the only thing coursing through your veins.Are you serious though or just being sarcastic?
You should give yourself a pat on the back for making sure inflation continues to mess up the games dynamics so eventually maybe the Dev's will increase drops to counteract this EOOA is creating through hoarding and overall stupidly outrageous inflation of prices:) I doubt the devs will though...


Cheers on the awesome ''work'' EOOA

As long as gear prizes fall accordingly I'm fine with a 100:1.

@Finkenstein

Greed? This is rationality at its finest. If you are rich, become more rich. This is the goal of the game, to become wealthy and powerful. Since you have at least an exalted orb, since you're in this thread, what do you have against making easy money? Just join along on the ride and become more wealthy.

And yes, I'm very serious.

"for making sure inflation continues to mess up the games dynamics"

Woah woah woah, slow down partner. I'm messing up the games dynamics? Could you elaborate on specifically A.) What are the game dynamics you are referring to, and B.) How am I messing them up?

Exalted orbs are the rarest orbs. The game dynamic is there! They should be worth a LOT. And currently they aren't. I'm FIXING the game. I'm bringing it to the state that it needs to be in. You should revere me as a saint!

And finally, the devs shouldn't need to do anything. I am not breaking the game in any way. I am simply bringing the exalted orb to it's rightful place on the throne as the queen of currency directly next to the king, mirrors.

The difference between you and I is that you think this is 'unnatural' and 'bad'. This is actually good and very natural! This is great for the game and its economy. Everything will be better if exalted orbs are worth more! And people profit from it at the same time! Everybody wins!

@TylerRand

Ideally if the price of an exalt were to suddenly jump to 100 chaos to 1 exalt, then every item valued in exalts would probably be cut in 1/3rd.

That means, I could almost afford koams with my 7 exalts. :) That would be nice eh? Imagine if you only needed 10 exalts to buy a koams. Though this wouldn't happen with gradual change, it's nice to dream. :)

If the prices of Exalteds were purely a function of it's rarity, then you might be on to something. When weighed against their utility... meh. Any item worth using them on is already amazing, and chances are, they're going to fill up a mod slot with some garbage, actually diminishing the items potential.

However, I commend your efforts to amplify and bring to light the problems with GGGs implementation of the crafting/currency system.

Sorry to burst your bubble but this game doesn't revolve around making as much currency as you can.
Maybe you might wanna go play some diablo 3 and have some fun on the auction house? You'd fit in nicely.

Really? Please elaborate how it doesn't work as such. I'll present two arguments and you can evaluate them. This is my logic, so feel free to correct me. I have a philosophy final coming up next week so sorry that this is so formal, I can't stop thinking in structured arguments :(

- Argument for Most Efficient Leveling: -

The goal of this game is to level up in an efficient manner.
To level up efficiently you need to acquire maps.
The most efficient way to acquire maps is to spend money.
Thus, the most efficient way to level up in an efficient manner is to spend money.

In Other Words: If you had enough money to buy 77 maps and run them nonstop with amazing rolls, you would be leveling up in the most efficient manner.

- Argument for Efficient Leveling: -

The goal of this game is to level up in an efficient manner.
To level up efficiently you need to acquire maps.
An efficient way to acquire maps is to roll maps with currency and run them.
Thus, to level up in an efficient manner, roll maps and run them.

In Other Words: If you would like to level up efficiently roll maps and run them.

As you can see, both require currency in some shape or form. Maybe you disagree the goal of this game is to level up though? Maybe you think the goal is to have fun? But then I'd argue that having fun entails fighting monsters that present a challenge and are rewarding, which is something you need currency to do. Maybe you know another way to level up that doesn't require currency that is still efficient? I can't wait to read your feedback and give my own feedback. I'm so excited! :D
