"Stupid."
I gotta haul because I’m running late.
Aside from the absurd, what’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever seen in the auction house? I mean besides grey items for 99999g. I mean reasonably absurd. Like “this poor deluded soul thinks he’s actually going to sell this” absurd.
I logged into the game a few moments ago to tend to auctions and the like and posted a whole load of items that my death knight had acquired. Among them was a Jade. You know — the level pre-BC gem. We’ve all seen them. Some moron on Bloodhoof is playing the “let’s inflate the market game” with Jade gems. We’ve all seen this game played. Hell, some of us — myself included — have even played the game from time to time. You inflate the item enough to be affordable and buy-out anybody who seriously undercuts you. In a sense, you own the market.
See but the problem is… you have to keep it affordable or else you’re going to drive people out of the market.
I can’t help but snicker as I say this, but… every Jade on Bloodhoof this morning was priced in the 25g range.
There are just some people who should not be allowed to play World of Warcraft.
On a whole though, your servers economy is alot lower than gnomers though gweedo, I checked that out yesterday the crafted epic items (which were overflowing) on your server are nearly half the price as they are on mine. some things gotta be higher heh.
Totally unrelated but I did your lil poll on the side and druids at 19%?! CMON people they arent that hard to beat!
Grey items for 99999g on the Ally/Horde AH and not the Neutral being absurd to I agree. Jade being 25g I can see. Looks like people were leveling JC and the AH prices spiked up. More amusingly, there are people who will buy gems at those prices. Gems can be prospected yes. But it takes a 5stack for 1-2 and there are several other gems that can be prospected for it. You could take the risk and prospect 5-6 stacks for a Jade, or you could buy it for possibly a cheaper price overall on the AH. Jade prices probably dropped after your morning, but I bet there were 1-2 that sold for that price regardless:P
