Are you still selling well? Open market flaw?

akl77

I find my stocks aren't selling, and I had to keeps lowering the price significantly, and still no sales in main town like deshan.
So us players give most of our gold to buy houses, that's money gone out of the open market into ZOS.
Then we spent lot of money on furnishings, no idea why the current market prices are so High for them, I mean who still have that amount of money to purchase?
I mean developers should have some ways to get the money flow back into the economy given you already taken our house money out of the economy equation.

akl77

Flow back in ways like increase furnishings recipe drop rates, and mats drop rates, I mean come' on we already spent millions to you for our large houses.

Same here. I bought Daggerfall Castle, and made 2m gold within that week. Well, house is empty tho but i'll fill it when prices drop

I'm still doing okay with sales. Big items take a few days. I usually sell inspired armor using an out of the way trader our social guild has so I can keep the bigger items in the trading guild store. Since the update the inspired armor is gone almost as quick as I put it in there. Doesn't bring a lot of gold for each item but adds up quick. A lot of people are trying to get their crafting skills up on all their characters to have a better chance at Master Writs.

Like anything new added to the game furnishings are going to be way over priced for a while. I don't mind waiting for the prices to come down before I start buying stuff and have taken advantage of the high demand to sell the Master Writs I get for a really nice chunk of change.

I'm guessing most people would have spent 80% of their in game gold to purchase their home, that's a lot of money gone out of the in game economy and into ZOS's hands.

Where would those money flow back into the economy from ZOS?
I mean we're basically all poor now.

Yeah my sales have been down since homstead 2 weeks in on pc, but still pretty good about 500k a week atleast. Problem is I just keep spending till I get every single motif, which is 11 more Akaviri and full motif of Ebony. Did pretty good ever since I came back 2 months ago imo, with nothing but 1.0 motifs learned since i quit 3 months after launch.

The rule of the economy is if the government takes more taxes, they gotta Give back more to the people. Two way streets.

i'm doing ok though.

a couple of weeks ago i did about 3/4 of a mil business in one of the trade guilds i'm in. it was 0.2% of that guilds business for the week.

All six writs, on four characters mean 14k every day. Not as much as I'm spending, but it's quite a bit.

Except the gold doesn't go to ZOS (I think you know that, though.) It just disappears from the game.

I recently lowered the prices on several things in order to boost sales for housing costs . I noticed sales slowing down after housing .

Yes, you get the point, they just disappears from the game, but it should flow back like NPC's should drop double gold amount, cos they are rich from the house sales.

Yeah I can see that i had a stack of 80 Alloy sitting on my guild vendor for like 10 days at 7200 each still not selling

That 80% should flow back into the open market is what I'm saying, not in terms of nodes, but in cash gold.

On consoles, I think it's more to do with the vendor bug that hit guild traders. I had to relist all my mats and motifs for them to appear. Otherwise people have to search through the entire inventory of the guild store. Relisting them makes them appear in specific searches again. I've sold a lot more since our guild master told us that was an issue. I relisted all my goods in 3 guilds.

Those things wouldn't get more money into the economy. You only make money from recipes and materials by selling them to other players (either the recipes/mats themselves or the finished products), unless you count the tiny amount you get from selling them to merchants.

And if other players have the gold to give you then it's already in the economy. All your suggestion would do is increase the probability of it moving around, which is not a bad thing in general but it's not your stated goal.

Gold only enters the economy when players get it from an outside source - like when it drops from enemies or when they sell things to NPCs.

And honestly the impression I've gotten is that this game really needed more optional gold sinks. Some players had several million gold and were struggling to find things to spend it on. Housing works pretty well because there's no real downside if you can't/don't want to buy it and there's price points to suit pretty much everyone (on the houses, furniture is a bit more restricted). Yes it's draining a lot of gold from the economy now but the impact will slow down after the hype passes - once most people (who want one) have at least 1 house they'll start putting gold towards other things again.

Do that on PS4 NA and they'll all get picked up within 10 minutes. Js

i do understand what you are saying...... but i don't agree with it.

housing is a gold sink. a way that zos can temper the economy.

Artemiisia

SnubbS

If I saw that on Xbox NA I'd probably be so excited to buy it that I'd drop my controller and miss the chance.

The market is finding its equilibrium again. We made a ton of money when Homestead went live, but prices have been dropping steadily since and will eventually balance out.

I just find it odd how the consoles have more currency than PC it seems now ha.

akl77

And we don't want to be dirt poor when morrowind hits, I'll be spending in that land for housing etc, we really need cash flow back in the economy where we can in some way earn them back from NPCs.

Cpt_Teemo

Yeah cross platforming is really bad for MMO's tbh, well from my point of view it takes away people from one version to the other, and more people end up quitting than joining in the long run I think.

kyle.wilson

I've noticed that Craglorn has become the place to hang out lately on PC. So you may be losing sales to people just not going to Deshaan.
I've been selling quite well for my guild in Elden Root. But, most of my sales are furnishing designs and mats.
