the exotic trader prices
We all know that this shop was introduced to reduce the money that some players got by exploiting some bugs years ago, maybe its time to decrease those prices and make them cheaper so newer players have a chance to get them too.
“I do not want your admiration now, because I do not want your insults in the future. I bear with my loneliness now, in order to avoid greater loneliness in the years ahead. You see, loneliness is the price we have to pay for being born in this modern age, so full of freedom, independence, and our own egotistical selves.”
Re: the exotic trader prices
It's supposed to be expensive.
Re: the exotic trader prices
Those items are ridiculous. Toy sabre for 20kk, yeh. Better put old unobtainables into those shops, and the price should depend on how old and rare they are. It would at least give some purpose to the grinding in game.

Expensive is one thing, but 90kk is too much .mas886 wrote:It's supposed to be expensive.

Re: the exotic trader prices
I have made a list of all the no longer obtainable items.
Each one has a price based on how long ago it was released and on how it looks (cooler items should be more expensive).

Re: the exotic trader prices
Big fan of rotating Items Available. Possibly even add a boss points vendor that sells some other things as well.
The secret to getting all the important stuff done is doing nothing.
Re: the exotic trader prices
I agree with adding more annual quests too, but we shouldn't use old items on those new quests. And the prices I suggested up there are pretty fair, old players won't feel bad because they will still have items that cost a lot of GP (which is like a social status ).wushin wrote:Big fan of rotating Items Available.

Re: the exotic trader prices
Voted yes for prices reduced.
Also +1 on current unobtainables being reintroduced.
Both will benefit newer players.

Re: the exotic trader prices
I recommend a simple formula to calculate the price of a rare hat. For every month the item is in game, the value increases by 700k gold. The resulting price is rounded to 5 million. And every 6 months the prices at exotic trader are adjusted.

if items are gonna be on the exotic trader that are already in game they should be more expensive than 15KK, 25KK-30KK sound more fair especially since other people took the time to market and trade in this game for a long time for those items. This also allows players to be more flexible with their item prices when they sell/trade to others.
Don't get me wrong, I still don't think they should be on the NPC it's also going to take away the term "collectables" in this game since anybody can get them.

Re: the exotic trader prices
Why not use a shop that appears once a year (Christmas time) with all those hats but really expensive?

Re: the exotic trader prices
I like the idea of having the Exotic Trader change his offers like every month.
Of course the current unobtainable items should be really, really expensive.

Re: the exotic trader prices
Players who already have the items in the above list got them in one of three ways: 1.) from long-ago quests, probably at little or no expense; 2.) by purchasing them on ManaMarket; or, 3.) in private sales or trades.soseki wrote:I have made a list of all the no longer obtainable items.

While the suggested prices may seem high to some and low to others, in my opinion, and for the most part, they appear to be fair, considering the scarcity and desirability of the items. As far as I know, players who bought items on ManaMarket or in private sales or trades have gotten them at prices less than those listed. So if there are players who want to sell their existing rares, they would still be able to do so at a profit.
At the prices listed, it will still take a considerable amount of time and effort to amass the gp (or possibly boss points, if that option is included) needed for these rares. But for players like those who have reached level 99 and completed all quests, it gives them a new goal to look forward to achieving.
It is for these reasons that I support the proposal to list the rares at the above-stated prices for sale by a NPC, on a year-round basis.

They should be really expensive or not obtainable through an NPC at all 25KK-30KK for some of them should be the *MINIMUM* 10-15kK is way too low.
