I know that to be feigned ignorance
Step outside the thread, read between the lines, follow the track....
Skaffen, please. If you want to make a point like an adult at least try not to be so condecending to anyone who gives an alternate point of view. He had a very sensible point. There is no large scale liquidation going on.
You said to read between the lines, but i think you've gotten the wrong end of the stick yourself. Think of what is going to happen soon and ask yourself why guys with a large value in-game would sell the expensive items they don't really use.
Put simply, they are most likely freeing up as much cash as possible because they realise that when the cryengine and this spacepriates event come into play, there is a very good chance that a new item/location will be up for bids (in the vein of hangars, cnd, ti, malls, etc). And why would any self-respecting PEmillionaire pass up the opportunity try their luck at getting the new license to print money.
I'm not saying anything such as this will happen, but think carefully. Is that not a risk worth taking? Would you rather play it safe and make 5Kped on inflation, or take a risk and make 150Kped.
Liquidation doesn't = falling sky.
Yes, I believe low lvl mobs are more even but there is room to improve on this. If there is currently more to what you say, and it is not only an issue of frequently hunted mobs etc...then I am unaware of such an aspect.
Just to quickly point out, Kosmos didn't say anything about low end mobs, she mentioned only low average return.
"people already know what mobs give low average return/high hof"
Not telling you this as an insult, just so you can respond to it properly. Would be a shame for someone later on to start an argument with you and rub something like that in your face. You know how petty arguments on here get, with all the quibelling over semantics.
It's not for the WoWzers, it's still an RCE.
Why did MA introduce (L)? - to stimulate the 'Market'...unlimited is a mistake, with a fresh perspective (not financially skewed) you would see this. The game should always have been '(L)'.
Unlimited is not a mistake. If it were, they would not A) have been so succesful under its banner; B) introduced the concept as their flagship.
Unlimited serves a spectacularly important role; to keep money tied in-game.
Wether it be high-end or low-end, unL gear with a market value means there is always going to be that amount in the world.
In other words: unL is MA's financial safety net.
Limited is not more or less important, as L stands to keep a constant flow of income rolling in, since people have to constantly replenish their gear as it runs out.
With these two working in tandem, MA have both their front-guard and rear covered. A wise strategy, and although there are several other ways they could have achieved this same position, the way circumstance played out placed this one on the silver podium. Though the circumstances could not have been accurately predicted, so doing any better would have just been luck. (the sort of x factor circumstance i refer to being unable to accurately prevent is, for example, a very nervous investor pulling out and causing an avalanche which eventually left MA having to declare bankruptcy.)
Oh, and as for "why?". Aside from what i've just typed, the real answer is; it's not a question of "why", this was always their plan. They made that perfectly clear on many occasions. It wasn't an afterthought, so there is no reason to the question you ask.
I'm at a loss to why anyone gets riled up over this stuff anyway. Your opinions on how things are or should be arent necesarrily correct just because they make sense to you. The only right ones are the ones calling the shots within MA. Us arguing or wishing on a star won't change a thing, so just relax and enjoy, because the wheels don't need your/mine maintenance to keep on turning. ("your" was plural btw, not aimed solely at Skaffen)
