And MA needs to start letting good items drop more often and stop protecting the "investors" that paid for these items.
Increased item drops -> less reason to buy crafted items -> less reason to craft items -> less reason to buy materials -> lower avg. MU returns on stackables
Which is the whole reason for this post to begin with.
Just like any investment, there is a risk that the price could go down. It shouldn't be up to MA to decide what these items are worth. Let the market decide.
MA has never decided that the IMK.II or other items was worth the crap-ton folks pay for them. That was "the market" you refer to. And yes investors have lost plenty on some of those investments because they bought WAY too high.
And in terms of RCE, it makes perfect sense to keep high level items rare. Imagine the price of any items if Mod Mercs and imp faps were as common as, say Gremlin armor.
