I been playing this game on this server for a while now and noticed Prices fall and rise.

why do people do this?

Im not moaning as i cant afford these things but it makes me giggle as a month ago you can pick up WDA for about 250k

but now your lucky to get one between 400 - 500k

I understand why people think its a good idea to raise prices of pots on x2 events (i do my self) but i just wanted to know your views on this and will this madness ever stop?

IMO
the prices rise and fall due to supply and demand. there are alot of items that many ppl cant obtain due to their levels, so those will be higher. also, i have noticed that when i first started playing, alot of players were low level, and now lots are higher level, so some things become more saturated into the market, lowering the prices. the pots and juices dont count around 2x events cause ppl just raise the prices cause they know ppl will buy at any cost. also, for armor, as more ppl get alchemy things change. just my opinion lol

coz only alchemists control the market and lets say war demons, check the recipe out, even if you knew how to make it, the skill u need to make is
the one your paying for. how many alchemists have 15-27 superior alch?
30-100 players at most. ur paying for the desinger not the clothes.

The ecomomy in taurus is far worse.
1.5m for wda, 200 or more for syrups.
I think the rise in prices are directly related to 2 issues. the get paid site being one of them, making IM items available to people who turned around and sold them, however i believe this maybe less of problem as the second issue. also i think that they attempted to fix the economy when they had that event where they did all the seal and vehicle bag drops and with somethings yes the price has gone down.But im not sure it helped enough.There's also one other issue i feel is directly linked with the spike in prices; when i started in feb. grape syrup was 35g, i saw it for 190 yesterday the problem is that theres now alot of wealthy chars like some i know from royalty who buy and sell IM, make a killing then turn around and pay the crazy prices for syrup. As far as alchemy plays into it, i dont think that they control the market as much i think the price of books went up so that directly effects the rest of the market, i know demand has shot up because rare eq isnt being made as much any more becuase books cost so much now IE I want to make red monster, i need a book and wda, chances are the guy who made the wda is going to charge for the countless hrs he spent lvling his skill and the price of the book. so then if i go to spend x amount of money on a book, chances are the wda i need to make it is gonna be 2x that and so on, im not saying their helping, but i feel like they are a victim of the economy as well.
