Glass Motif resin

Isn't it about time this particular item's price was lowered at vendors? 10k was fine when glass motifs were in demand, but even as someone who hasn't got any glass motif parts, it isn't in my interest to sink 10k into buying the resin. The reason being, once you do your first page, the likelihood of duplicates come into play and from what I've seen in guild stores, people are struggling to shift these motifs for 11k. Slashing the price in half would help those of us that have either returned to the game or are new to the game. A 10k gold sink with little hope of seeing any return, never mind profit just seems bizarre.

    True, much cheaper is to buy motif books in stores than to play this very expensive mini game.
    i already mentioned this in August.

    I've got around 20-odd pages and have no intention of ever using them because it doesn't make any sense to do so.

    I never used the glass motif conversion thingie.

    I found it much easier to just buy glass motif in stores, they're not that expensive.

    I used to sell all my many glass fragments from writs in stores, now they're so rediculously cheap and abundant that I don't even do that any more, I just keep them in my bank.

    I did some math in terms of costs of the resin, and possible gold return of motifs, and found them not not be profitable, you'd be lucky to barely break even. Thus now all my glass fragments are sitting in the bank, pretty much just filling it up.

    Glass motifs are cheap, and the resin thingie should reflect that. Since glass motif was introduced, we've seen a multitude of new motifs, so the current costs doens't really reflect the current demand.

    On another note, Laurels and Malachite shouldn't really be golden any more. In ages past it made sense since these two were the only 'rare motif stones', now they're common as dirt. So either make all motif stones golden, or make them all white. It's just a small annoyance that these two old motif stones are gold when all the new ones aren't.

    I don't mind how malachite is obtained as it costs nothing, just think currently having to spend 10k on that glue is ridiculous. A fair price would be around 1-3k and even 3k is pushing it if I'm being honest.
