Stock market is recovering slowly. Life will move on
mango half of your and some other players is just āgame cost too muchā refrain
REMEDY: Play withoin the budget, it is funny anyway to see hordes of monster die even with a barbarella
asking how will price develop and offering 80% downside is pure non sense
prices on less than BIS items have fallen already
mayhem weapon have a cost to be manufactured and the cost is tied to the ātoken per ped spendingā in mayhem
a BP130 sold for 100k is already a bargain , so is a lp120 at 80k and a sb90 knife at 65
teh items that hold the price atm are just Modmerc (that has respectable stats and lost 20% of its price
and bp70 that hold price for stats.
so why should prices fall? there is people in queue anyway well before your level to enter on items.
try to see if a BP70 hits market at 120k or a modmerc t10 at 60k how long it takes to be purchasedā¦ a imk2 t9 sold for 100k this month and 8 month ago it was sold a t6 for same price.
the sky is not falling. i forecast that in Halloween mayhema nd in winter mayhem we will reach 5000 people in the EL global list once again

he has 20 looter maybe 25ā¦
you game since 2014 Mango youy should be level 120 and 70 looter just by killing puny
and your returns maxedā¦with a 60 evader that eliminates the use of big armorsā¦

Wait, so the current state of the game is your fault?! ? look at what you done to us. ?
I still dont know why people think that buying L weapons is bad. Ul is not for everyone nor should it be. Its a longterm investment, you can enjoy the game perfectly well at all levels of gameplay with L gear, just be savvy and stop buying 120% + MU limited weps

i think people overlook MF way too much. its so cheap and cost effective. base 59% eff at 105%-108% mu. slap on a mayhem amp and u at 63%. not to mention the decay on those chips is pretty awesome. Adapt, overcome and improvise people!

Plenty of good weps for the casual players and even those who grind abit in the L options. Ive been even using some igni L2020s ive found on auction and in trade chats as ive picked them up for 104% to 110%. Slap a extender on it and your off and hunting for awhile at low MU consumption considering the low risk input for the gun

a chip decay is about 4% of the total bullet cost and at least there is a 2% implant absorb of the decay
so the real cost of MF is ((mu *0.04 *0.98)+0.96) * total bullet cost
To clarify better assuming a 5% mu (1.050.040.98)+0.96 = 0.04116+0.96 = 1.00116
so the cost of a 105% Limited chip on a stanrdard implant is equal to 0.11% MU
on a 10.000 PED MF killing spree it is 11.5 ped overhead
using a random LLC dropped weapon it would be in the 70ped
on an armatrix it would be 120ā¦150 ped
MF opens a full set of skills that are not opened with firearms, most important is helping with biotropic
but shared RDA with firearms so has some nice outflow too

Yeah L weps are the best choice unless you burn 3-4+ a day, it sucks that theres barely any 2.0 limited weps and the ones that are in the game MA made rare for some reason so they are all 200%+ mu. Im surprised we havent gotten more 2.0 limited weps as the limited weps are what a majority of the playerbase uses.

the cost of a lp80 perfect is tied to the complexity to obtain one off RDI mission
such weapon is not worth if not in special situation that can lead to a MU return
bareli 250% MU impact in an armatrix (250%* 0.075)+0.925 = 111.25 =11.25% mu on your bullets (can be reduced with an extender to about 8% overhead
this piled up with 2% tax commands a 110% return monster to break even
p.s.: if you pass me a monster that loots MU for average 110% i will rebate 25% of the over ammo return

2008 was the start of a huge rise of prices ingame. I am avoiding āinflationā, because that was only half of the factor. On one side, the value of US rupee did encouraged nonUSD sources of depo, particularly Chinese and Europeans. So this we could attribute to inflation itself. However, there was also the aspect of UL 10/10 weapons being relatively scarce vs the playerbase, so also an intrinsec rise in value.
In my opinion the main source of price evolution will be the game ecosystem itself, e.g. if an UL can be justified by farming some stackables which would then be used in a sustainable circuit of crafting & usage.
So maybe if there is some drop, I would rather point to the initial unjustifiable hype and Iād rather believe there would be some natural thresholds beyond which such items wonāt fall, as long as the rules of the game donāt change.

I doubt it. as its simple either u sell āinsert poor pplā and take a 80% lossā¦ cuz once u sold u sold and thats a L.. or just wait for economy and item price to go back.. There is always a chance for covid 2.0.. China we are looking at u

A good analogy is once upon a time players looted a good curry and sold it for 20k. Then MA told players to collect grains of rice āone by oneā for a year or two. They even turned events into rice collecting slogs. Even that was all pretty worthless unless they looted a grain of special rice to game cook their curry ingredients.
Some would say, what are these nutters doing buying into those ideals. But those that did want serious reparations for their rice collecting days. Even though MA moved the goal posts, so they wasnāt collecting for a Godly weapon, but just a new average standard. Not to mention, if they wanted some sauce with their plain rice they teired their new average weapons, for the pleasure of bolting on large MU enhancers to kill the efficiencyā¦ couldnāt make it up.
The problem is many players in the community werenāt into grain of rice collecting and are not interested in the demanded reparations either. Itās not about supply and demand, itās just about ādemandā and somehow that gets confused with an active market. Looks to me when I read threads, those 200k - 500k weapons arenāt selling at all.
But who cares right, you dont have to buy a 300k gun off the grain of rice collectors. That was their choice to do it, not yours. Iād say the market has already dropped 80% and the sales prices ādemandedā are simply an illusion of reality.
The absurdity goes further though, players list looted guns, for the price of grains of rice guns, thatās like serious taking the pee in my book. Funny though. ?
Those new MA weapons sound interesting, maybe players will collect screws and washers instead of rice. Hope its more interesting a fun than that. Canāt wait to see it. ??
