[QUOTE=Cendaer;4285365]Oh yes... that whistling howl you hear? That's the price of stat tomes rapidly plummeting.

Now that tomes are pretty much going to be "eat one and you're done", and done forever; the market for them will be brisk at first, but the demand will fall off very rapidly.

Now the exploiters...errr...I mean tome farmers, will have to be quick to sell off what they've got on-hand (and do it at already reduced prices; they'll have to beat the price/convenience of the DDO store at the very least).

I'm sure there's already much hand-wringing going on, because it will be a sure-fire revelation as to who was exploiting, if someone decides to track all the upcoming tome-trading that's going to occur. [/quote]

No you dumb fuck.  Tomes will be more valuable than EVAH!  Each tome now has far more utility and therefore demand and price will increase.  There will be constant NEW demand as long as there are new players and new alts.  Logic comes from the mind, not the ass that is sore from the unfairness of the universe plowing it.  As much as you wish karma would right all wrongs, there is no cosmic balance.

He is just sad that someone is being a moron on the ddo forums (shocker right?) and has to whine about here.

So, how is the weather?

Epoch needs to post his temperatures and make you all cry. It was -56 for him yesterday, according to his guild chat post.

Alaska, and not the part of Alaska for soft people. I think he is in the remote area and lives off of seals.

Was below -40 for me Friday night, and I live in the continental US. Am two miles up and 30 mins from the continental divide, though.

I bet that didn't include the windchill either. I hate it when people use windchill as if it were the actual temperature, but Epoch doesn't seem the type to do that.

I did a few winters in Edmonton, and when you wake up to -45 celsius (-49F), it's damn cold. All the wind does is reduce the number of seconds it takes for exposed skin to freeze.

Price is a matter of supply and demand, not the utility of the tomes.  Yes, tomes gain more utility.  But that doesn't mean demand will actually rise.  It's a question of whether the new demand of people who now will eat a tome they wouldn't eat now, vs. the loss of demand from TRs who won't need to re-eat tomes.

My guess is the loss of demand will be more than the gain of demand, but I can't be certain.  How many people actually hold off on using +1/+2 tomes because they'll TR?  I guess if you're doing a serial TR rush for completionist, but how many of those players are there compared to more casual TRs, that spend significant time at cap, and thus already eat +2 tomes anyway?


But, seriously, this is an issue that you felt so enraged by, that you had to come to the Vault so you could use profanity in your response?

I just caught that one. Like he has any room to talk!

No question that this drops the value of +1s and +2s.  +3s, on the other hand, should see a nice spike and I doubt they'll drop too terribly far.

NM.

I read it wrong.

Please stop interrupting our circle jerk, stainer loses his rhythm when distracted and I'm really close.
