The rich people who are Level 1-40 is now a split between people who got gold flags, and people who didn't. WHy am I so unlucky? :cry:

I just hate how they look like trader flags.

Now, from a distance, everyone looks like a high level (move speed scroll) or a trader (dragon flag)

I didn't get one either

Now that's what I call buying low and selling high. O.O

Not that weapon elixir thing where you only make 40k.

I had this male red flag i got from a box.... used it a few times for trades, got it right after the male/female flag problem patch..., after the update 1.071 it turned female...WTF

xBrokenSwrdx · Post by **xBrokenSwrdx** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 1:43 pm

Troo · Post by **Troo** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 1:48 pm

We on eldorado only had the event for 1 day.. so we have this "seperation" even more

Luoma · Post by **Luoma** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 1:48 pm

I cant belive they sell for so much, all they do is add 2int & 2str and look like a red flag....

xBrokenSwrdx · Post by **xBrokenSwrdx** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 1:54 pm

i know thats right.. LOL. but if you wait like 4-5 months after all events the male ones will prolly be worth like 50m for no reason and females maybe 20. why? no one will know xD

Lance · Post by **Lance** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 2:01 pm

I did. I bought a Level 8 Blade SOS for 100k, and sold it to my friend for 600k. He even knew how much I bought it for before I sold it to him.

Another thing I find that messes up the economy are SOS items. It's much cheaper to make it +5 in later levels.

Tallrik · Post by **Tallrik** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 3:09 pm

Nah the flags are riddiculous, they are'nt messing up the games economy, the people who pay 5m+ to wear an item with +2 STR +INT to look cool does, it's pretty harmless

Nyumetsu · Post by **Nyumetsu** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 10:07 pm

One may think this is the case, but it isn't.

What's actually ruining the economy is the CCFers. Anybody who has been active in the seal item market will tell you: prices have been going haywire since before the event, nearly doubling. The reason the flags are priced so high is because supply is low, demand is high, but the balance of wealth is completely skewed.

Bots are also allowing more gold into the economy than is earned by actual characters who will be played by unique players.

There doesn't seem to be a peak to this rise in the very near future. I'm guessing that item prices will skyrocket to the point where their pricing will rely on the gold streamed in by bots and the like.

the flags actually have little to do with the price increase. instead, they are a product of it.

The reason for this is because there are alot more players than flags, therefore high demand high price.

Tallrik · Post by **Tallrik** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 12:22 am

I might come of as a CCFer for having this discussion, but im not.

Anyway, i like CCFers, in my opinion they bring more balance to the game.

Before, a 60+5 Bow in my server could cost.. ~50m

This would mean, only a very few people (like with SoS..) could pretty much own the rest, because they got lucky and found a good drop or made cash to get one, or even bought gold to get one.

Since CCFers began making everything +5 and sell in stalls cheap, prices of +5 and other stuff has gone to 1/2 the original price and less, giving more players a chance of using +5 equipment (you see +5 everywhere now).

Instead of the game being 10% owning with SOS, and 20% owning with +5 and more, it seems to me as it's getting a bit more balanced.

Anyway, just my 2 cents, i like cheap +5 weapons for the players.

Wouldn't it be better if MOST players didnt have +5 weapons? Imagine you're one of those poor fellas that can't afford shit to begin with..and now you have to deal with like a whole lot more players with +5 weapons.

And so far on Oasis the demand for dragon flags isn't that great, well, at least most people seem like they wouldn't even pay over 5 mill.
