Why the hell crown sales doesn't affect crown to gold rates. It's still too high
Wow

On the exchange discord I'm in (WCE) the rate is still the same around 400-450 gold per crowns. The same price before there's sales.
I guess no akaviri crates for me this christmas

✭Probably because most people who do regularly sell crowns are already buying them at discounted prices.
Also, WCE doesn't have a set price. It's set by the individual sellers/ buyers. And since plenty of people are happy to buy at 400- 450 it won't go down.Edited by CyberOnEso on December 23, 2020 10:58AM@CyberOnEso PC | EU - Jack of all Trades - Armory Style Manager Planesbreaker | Godslayer | Dawnbringer | Immortal Redeemer | Tick Tock Tormentor | Gryphon Heart10 -
SDKTJ✭✭✭Sales don't cause the price to drop overnight, anyways sellers have 0 issues offloading crowns for as much as 600, so why would they even sell for less on a server with no fixed rates?5 -

✭✭I find it funny that the exchange rates are 5 times higher on PC (500 to 1) than on PS network (100 to 1).
Makes one think that maybe add-ons that help search prices on all traders does make a big difference in the amount of gold that players have.
Stay safe and have fun

noblecron✭✭✭✭For TCE there's been more of a demand and less sellers. Also I think the amount of crowns people can buy was affected by Covid. A lot of people are still out of work and can't afford to buy Crowns like they could at one point. With that said I do miss the days they were lower in price but I just try to make due. Akavari crates will be around for another 2 months. Maybe 35 -

Jaimeh✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭The sale just started, and given how a crown-exclusive house has been released (and people are also waiting on stone-eagle aerie as well), people might hold on to their crowns. Be happy that people are willing to sell at all in this (generally bad) climate.2 -

✭✭✭I don't sell crowns, but when I do buy crowns I buy them during a crown sale. Which is basically never since u25.

You could simply wait a week and sell then.1 -

I played on Xbox and now play on PC.
While on Xbox (and I assume PS) things are a lot more expensive, netting more gold per sale, everything takes a lot longer.
Doing writs on 18 charts on console will take close to 2 hours. On PC it will take 30-40 minutes.
Plus finding cheap items to flip is 100000x easier on PC.
To wrap it up, PC players started making gold almost 2 years before console.
In summary, there is a lot more gold on PC and it is a lot easier to make gold on PC, which might explain the inflation.5 -

✭Because there is hyper inflation and zos is not creating any real gold sinks.
On top of that you have people on forum cry about multi bid which is prolly the biggest existing gold sink.1 -

That would be resolved if zos made a official way to trade crowns with a fixed rate.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭It’s not just Crown to gold rates, everything purchased with gold costs about double what it did a year ago. Chromium went from 70k to 140k, Spell Power potions went from 125 to 250 (caused by similar increase for alchemy reagents), Dreugh Wax went from 5k to 10k, Artaeum Pickled Fish went from 3k to 6k. Kinda makes sense that Crowns would also go from 200 to 400 with the reduced buying power of gold. I’m starting to believe the claims of inflation.Edited by WrathOfInnos on December 23, 2020 4:52PM2 -

Not at all. It is still secondary. The base game is primary.
More importantly, the wise person that buys crowns on sale for selling trading crowns for gold will not sell them at a discount. It defeats the purpose. They will wait until someone is willing to pay the normal price. They have no reason, or incentive, to sell them on the cheap.2 -

Similar happened in SWTOR. The inflation ran wild. In the end, it is the gold sellers that benefit from trading real-world currency for in-game gold.0 -

You’re more than welcome to spend your own money on Crowns and sell them cheap or even give them away if you wish.
I only part with valuable materials, Crowns, and other items that I could well use myself if the price is worth it to me to do so, if the gold becomes of greater value to me.
There is nothing “disgusting” about it. When both parties know what they are trading and what they are getting in return, both are satisfied.1 -

Like i said, this should be regulated by zos, not the players. And its a primary concern for some players.2 -

Do you mean a rate determined by supply and demand like GW2 has? That has the benefit of safety, to be sure, but value for both parties is reduced.
If you mean an arbitrarily fixed rate, then you can be sure of an absence of sellers, or I suppose buyers if they set the rate at something like 1000:1 — either way, nobody gets what they want.0 -
Mancombe_Nosehair✭✭✭✭✭By coincidence, I looked at the gold prices for crowns last night, and was quite shocked at the prices, as the last time I looked was Summer.
Clearly, demand is outstripping supply at the moment. As housing is more expensive, I wonder if it is the new house walkabout characters causing the hike.1 -
hafgood✭✭✭✭✭
✭I agree that crown store items should be able to be codded.
I don't agree that Zos should regulate the market and set the exchange rate. If they are going to do that then they would have to do the same for all items in the game and no one would want that.
Nor do I agree that the price should fall because crown sellers can buy them cheaper, they still have to spend the real money so you don't have to. You want cheap crowns buy them yourself.
