Why does a perfect weapon and 1 off frmo being perfect make a different of sometimes 300k? Is 1 Health, 1 Armor, or 1% really going to help you in the middle of a fight? I'm just getting tired of people paying SO much for a perfect sword when you could buy one almost exactly the same for 100k less. I mean..really..will 1 Health keep you alive in a fight?

Looks don't help in the middle of a fight either, yet a 15k FoW armor costs ~300k.

If you think any of this was for effectiveness then you've been blind, it's all about looks and collectors value.

In addition, for PvP GvG and HoH, this 1% could matter.

the main fact is that perfect weapons are rarer than near perfect ones so it's normal to have them for a higher price, now it's tru 1% or 1hp might not help u, or very few times for the 1hp :x. now it's the market price

If you had tens or hundreds of millions of gold and nothing to do with it, what would you buy? People often offer to sell me +29/-2 tall shields, but why would I buy something less than perfect when I have so many perfect ones? What's the point? I already have more items than I could actually use in a lifetime, anyway, so I collect flawless stuff only . . .

Also haveing 30 griffons attacking you every second at once for example makes that -1 important. You save an extra 30 damage per second from getting hit and thats why people get the sup absorption rune over major.
