General Discussion - Why is the economy on this game broken and how to solve it - Forum

" They work a little differently, but I tend to feel both the Ambush and Standard economies are pretty healthy. Hahaha ... hilarius man, really.	Posted by chromafunk#7100 on May 25, 2014, 2:14:03 PM Quote this Post
The more this game will progress, the more it will become a buyers market. Since items don't actually cease to exist. I'm waiting another few years before playing so the uber elites become accessible to all. Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs. We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right.

It's my third day on a row people asking for the same rare good items I have and when I say the fair price for them they say they can't afford it. It's either people has ZERO money or they have mirrors .... what the fuck is going on here, GGG please fix this situation. It's ridiculous. How would you solve this ? I know you can't increase the drop rate of currency because the already mined of bots game would only get richer, so ... what are you going to do ? The only way to make cash on this game is to play until you get a Shavs or a Mjolner. Wich is a 0,1% right now. It's very unfair that there are dozens of already commercial bot applications for PoE that people is using and Whirling blades still desync ! It almost stop making sense that you make a game around trading but you can't even sell what you find ! It's frustrating. If i tell you my house costs 1 million dollars and you say you cant afford it how is it a fair price? Fact is you overprice your stuff and fail to see that only flippers/RMTers can afford anything in this game. Therefore you should lower your prices to whoever you are catering to, not to mention you might even be pricing your stuff wrong as some people might need 1 stat more than another and you cant possibly know who values what stat more.

I'm waiting another few years before playing so the uber elites become accessible to all. Items don't cease to exist but there is a huge blackhole of currency on the game. A poor, resourceless player will always be a poor resourceless player. Meanwhile, prices on things skyrocket.	Posted by chromafunk#7100 on May 25, 2014, 2:17:41 PM Quote this Post
The economy in this game is completely fucked. Remember when I won a screenshot contest and made everyone butt-hurt? Pepperidge Farm remembers.	Posted by Wraeclastian#7390 on May 25, 2014, 2:17:43 PM Quote this Post
OP plays standard. I've factually identified the actual issue here.	Posted by Isbox1#3280 on May 25, 2014, 2:17:44 PM Quote this Post

When I price my items I always go on poe YZX and check for a very close item to mine, then I usually price tag it lower to sell it faster. Not even doing this, there is enough chance to sell. People is constantly looking to pay 10 chaos max for everything.	Posted by chromafunk#7100 on May 25, 2014, 2:20:00 PM Quote this Post
" chromafunk wrote: Well. All my items are priced always lower then their counterparts in YXZ, You know, as long as an item is listed on XYZ, it's not getting sold? Ergo, it may be overpriced. I see a lot of people talking about fair prices, but in an economy like this, you'll never know what's fair (in standard that is). It's totally FUBAR. If you're talking Ambush, your prices aren't as fair as you think, or you are too late - activity in Ambush is dropping. Edit: Also, in standard, there have been no wipes since closed->open beta, so if you think your item is worth 10c, and you KNOW there are 2340598230597 better items available, you may rethink your price. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile. Last edited by Phrazz#3529 on May 25, 2014, 2:25:03 PM	Posted by Phrazz#3529 on May 25, 2014, 2:22:02 PM Quote this Post
If people don't want to spend more than 10 chaos on anything you have, then you need to start selling stuff that isn't junk. You either sell GG gear or gems or you die broke and alone.
