Never heared of opportunity costs? It was not free since you spent time + effort on getting the tempers. Plus you would have made 32k of selling the legendary tempers alone.

I did not spent any time or effort getting the tempers. They were random drops while i was doing what i would have done anyways, even without the tempers dropping.
And your assumption that i could have made 32k selling them is also completely made up. I could certainly ask for 32k for the mats, but that isn't the same as actually being able to sell them for 32k.

Again, all the prices in the OP that some here seem to take as gospel are completely and utterly made up. A legendary item did not *cost* you 40k to make.

Of course you could have made 32k with the tempers. I see people buying these alloys for 3.5k-4k all the time.

Btw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost its worth reading

but I'm pretty sure this is a discussion about market prices and not about how much fun one can have upgrading their own gear.

But i was talking about prices. Since they are completely and utterly made up, i wouldn't be willing to pay anything even close to 40k gold for a legendary item.

And it did *not* cost me 40k to make that axe. I got all my tempers from drops, hirelings and refining mats. Not one of them cost me a single gold, it was all for free.

All the prices mentioned here are completely fabricated. I remember during the PTS someone was asking 50,000 gold for a single yellow temper. Asking price is *not* the same as selling price. I would never pay 4k for a single yellow temper which is one of the numbers used in the original post.

I don't know where you get your prices at, but these prices are based off the current economy. They're not made up, nor are they fabricated. As of now some of these prices have lowered. The mats costs as much as, or about 35k, so we're clear here. However, if you're really arguing about how it shouldn't cost what the economy sets up for the mats then I'd like to know your "rational" opinion.

I think they should have been worth 80k or more but dupes and hirling farming and mail duping have killed the price on stackables like daedric hearts and legendary tempers. This stuff should be worth like 10k per but never will be anyway now.

I already have enough for endgame so to me any many others Legendary items wont hold a whole lot of value.

40k only seems fair with current mat prices. Wait another 30 Days of hireling farming and it will be 20k.

You're right on the spot. Everything's about the same price every level anyways. It's bound to hit rock bottom, or near chump change due to exploits. Everything's getting pushed down more and more, as there are more sellers.
