Ok, it seems like simple economics to me, but shouldn't the price of the Scorpion Harnass be going down. It is usually round 4 million, but recently it has been going for 5 million. With all the HNM LS on our server doing Genbu and Serket, you would think there would be an overflow of claws causing the price to go down. Or have people just stopped doing Genbu??
 
I agree. It seems like a lot of things are going backwards. Sniper rings are also going up in price. But more and more people are camping Chyme. Basicly the price will go up if people are willing to spend that much. As long someone will pay 4.5-5mil for a scorp harness people will sell it for that much. That being said... ::waves goodbye to Snipers and Scorpion Harness::
 
I think snipers are going up because gil sellers are camping the chyme so much that they get most of the drops for it. Then they keep raising the price little by little on archer's rings until the crafters have to raise their prices also.
 
Raise 2 and 3 have been skyrocketing over the last month. I suspect we are seeing some inflation in the economy. Perhaps it was that armor bug when cop was released that threw loads of gil into the economy or a result of the server migrations. Cause could be a number of factors. :?

DAMNIT GIL!!! We need to hunt that guy, and PUT HIM DOWN!
 
Yeah, it's definitely him. Just look at that sneer on his face.
 
If prices keep going up...then I'm boned....I barely make enough gil as it is to get by. And I really hate having to farm/mine/fish etc. If the econmy get too bad it'll be /goodbye time. ; ;
 
more people want harness that there are claws availible, supply and demand... besides genbu is stingy with his claw ><
 
Work on crafting and questing the items...

If you can create the scorpion harness, I'm sure the going rate rising isn't a bad thing for you.

Oh yeah it is... The claw costs more than you can sell a normal harness for... Only way to make money is to HQ it or to inflate the price. :shock

Riiiight, so go camp the bastard and get the claw. Yes it's not easy. But choose your path. Don't complain about both paths. Buy or craft...Or leave.

Yea Sneaky cause it's possible to do it alone/have an LS that would let you keep the claw....

I'm sure it is as long as everyone is mature about it. One good turn deserves another. I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine. Isn't that what a real LS should be like?

HNM LSs are not real LSs they are there for profit. No one in an HNM LS is gonna give anyone a non-ex drop. It goes up to AH and the cash is split up for all those invlovled.

Not if you make good friend's with the people in it, or if you are friends with many people in RL, you can make a RL HNM LS...

Fine, have it your way. I believe in reciprocation. NAFireBlade, by the way, does not exist to turn a buck. Profit is good no matter how you look at it. NAFB looks out for each other. This I know. My only regret is that I wish I would be as high level as the rest of the members so I could help them more often then I can at the moment.

An organized and mature LS will be able to handle this. I am in one that is both organized and mature, so maybe my opinion on the matter is biased. It does seem to me that most LS are lucky to be either organized or mature.

I did say that obtaining the items and crafting wouldn't be easy.
Maybe that somehow doesn't make any sense. I dunno.

Eh, guess you missed my point.
From a crafter's point of view, I want the harness to cost more. :D

I want it to cost at least as much as the materials, but then again lots of things aren't this way.
