those materials will never get that low. the point of them is that they cost alot, making it hard to get fissure in the first place.

the only time ectos will reach that price is a server error, and then we will just get another rollback.

Actually, during the latest server error, ecto prices only dropped to 7k, while all other rare materials and runes dropped to their origial prices. Just pointing that out, but obviously ectos can drop below 7k because they have done so recently.

but this is why we need an auction house. the merchants are no indication at all of what prices are. all they are indications are of how many people are stupid enough to sell to the merchants for far less then they could get with it.

It certainly would be nice if we could have merchants buying greens for -5k off the normal so if razorstone normally goes for 35k we can sell to merchant for 30, prices would need to change constantly with +e items it would simply give us ecto or w/e

I really do hope 55 gets nerfed. It renders the purpose of the UW and FoW useless when a group of 2 people can do it. They we're made to be difficult not a walk in the park. I'm all for chopping the head of this snake thats called the 55 build.
