I've been wondering about this for some time i.e. what the price of mid range to top end armour and weapons is likely to be in the not so distant future.
Considering price is mostly controlled by MA as they control drop rates and stats of items, the question then is where they want prices to be?
If MA are really gearing up for a mass expansion of the player base, what would they want prices to be at?
Bear in mind we now have multiple planets. Any of which could release items with remarkable stats. These would obviously have an impact on existing prices. If calypso the sensible PP can release modified shadow then it shows to me we are likely to have even better item drops from other PP's who are not doing so well.
Anyway how about a scenario like this:
Armour
Angel - 10k-12K full set
Protector of empire - 12k-16k full set
Chronicle - 16k - 20k full set
Supremacy - 20k - 50k full set
Weapons
Modified merc - 50k -70k
What we have to bear in mind is MindArk are unlikely to have a sudden change but more likely to have a gradual change. A gradual change would be least upsetting to existing players. To me it seems we are gradually heading towards the above scenario.
Would mod merc still be king of weapons? or will it be trumped by something else a new type of weapon? Perhaps the release of modified shadow is a precursor to bigger changes ahead...
