A Question to the XB1 Community

Ch4mpTW · September 2016

So with there being numerous talks about how messed up your economy is, due to inflated pricing occurring... What exactly are you all's plans for say 6 months or so down the road, from a consumer's point-of-view?

If tempering alloys are selling for 25k-30k a piece currently, how much are you all going to be paying in the future? 50k an alloy? Maybe 100k per alloy in a year's time from now? I'm genuinely curious, because if things have inflated that much in such a short period of time... What exactly are you all supposed to do?

I'll be running the same build forever, or until ZoS makes it to where I can buy gold mats with televar stones

FloppyTouch · September 2016

They jump up and down just not to long ago temps where 8k wax 5k. The prices won't keep going up and up next patch after ppl gold out there new gear and the demand drops the price will fall.

Ive never had to buy gold materials so i assume that will stay the same,

Unsent.Soul · September 2016

Use what I have and continue to sell what makes me the most gold.

Khajiit will do what Khajiit always does. Continue to acquire items and make gold from them...

If walkers want to pay crazy gold for the gold mats then Khajjit will supply the demand

Khajiit prefers it when the market is sensible and stable, because this one can predict the market then... so please tell the walkers to stop throwing money at humble Mercantile Khajiit.

Well, if I can manage to sell a few at those kinds of prices, then I'll be getting very rich very quickly.

I don't really understand it. I only see the benefit of Gold items when it's your weapons. Not sure if I'm just missing something, but improving your Armor from purple to gold barely increases the stats at all to where it's just not worth the price. So for the foreseeable future I'll be running Epic Armor and Legendary Weapons.

I'm honestly contemplating this very thing. It makes the most sense, when you put things into the proper perspective.

XB1 players are idiots. go to riften or mournhold

25-30k?, most alloys I see are selling for 17-20k(15 if your lucky), some idiots are trying to rip people off by putting them up for 25-30k but that's only a few.

personally I think ZOS should just increase the drop chance from refining and increase the amount of tempers you can get from breaking down gold items from 1 to 1-8, that way there would be more tempers in general, the people that choose to farm for them don't waste as much time and feel more rewarded for putting the time in, also the prices in the guild stores would drop.

just to be clear, I'm not talking about flooding the market but just increasing the amount of gold tempers in general slightly.

That would be a wonderful idea. I definitely support that idea.
