Okies...a lot of confusion here.
I see that due to "supply disruptions" on blight, we can expect soon on Order/Chaos to see Nadia's prices increase as well.
Why? It is so that those that can hunt with impunity and who already have several ways of making 100's of silver an hour can now charge even more silver for the comps they hunt for?
What does this do for the player that just got his/her/its first school in the range of wearing T5 armor/jewelry? Weeks of comp hunting and DP gathering (thank goodness the new Death Penalties aren't in-game yet )?
Other points:
- Sir Aidan is rarely stocked with high levels comps (or much of any level comp for that matter..not like I remember back in January when I was able to buy almost everything for my Mithril Armor/Jewelry) and even at 10s per T5 comp, it can still cost well over 1 or 2 gold piece for a set of armor or jewelry.
- Some comps can take days (not 2 or 3, but 5, 6, or even 10) to get enough for a set of armor or jewelry...and that's only 1 of many needed. (Veteran Ghost Vapors, Zombie Ogre Toes, Abomination Chest Skulls, Zombie Werewolf Skulls, and Vexator Fringes come to mind)
- What about crafters? This game draws many just for the crafting system and with PB's that no longer pay like they used to and so many high level crafters that make stuff for free (esp within their own guild) there is little money to be made for a primarily crafter player.
Lastly, as much as I hate to say it...this "change", "fix", or whatever you want to call it...smacks more and more of catering to those who 'have' theirs only so they can get more on the back of the little guys and new arrivals.
That should do...and I'm sure this will garner lots and lots of flames, rants, and even accolades. Not to mention probably making it impossible to buy comps from other players in the future.
