Okay, let's draw a picture.
When I started playing in 2006 I first hunted opalo+104; after that I got a MK2 and bought the occasional korss. I cycled a shitton of ped. It was easy, if I was without ped; just a little depo, took my justifier and killed some mobs. It was quite eco, since everyone was uneco those days.
Now last time I took a break, L weapons where actually the reason. Namely I was looking to hunt something, couldn't find a reasonable bargain at BO, so I bid on a couple of guns. I had to wait so I thought and installed another game I didn't play in a while. When I looked back hours later someone surpassed my bid. Now I could look for a new one or play that other game. I chose the latter and I lost track of EU for about 9 months.
I don't think MA likes people drop out for such reasons. I think MA has more benifit in dropping UL gear, reap the profits from you guys tiering it up and using enhancers. Few people will enhance their L stuff, but how many enhancers are put on UL stuff?
Even ubers pay crafters for dmg/range enhancers. They pay MU where they never did. So stuff gets crafted. I'dd say in TT value more stuff is crafted now than is crafted years ago. The most crafted stuff is actually mining amps and is not affected by MU.
And how many weapons will you craft when BTAU and ATAU don't drop anymore? how many crafted weapons where sold versus looted ones?
Thing is, MA does not need to keep the owners of UL enthralled, you did that yourself by "investing" in UL stuff. They got you by the balls so to speak and know you will hunt and try to break even/make profit/chase your dreams of becomming uber/...
The fact is that MA can track alot of stuff and their desiscions may not suit you, but will certainly suit them. If you see actions like the daily mission NPC you know they are aiming at getting people to cycle peds.
You getting MU for that gun is a null operation for them. every ped a gun costs is a ped the buyer can't spend on hunting, decreasing his/her gaming experience. While they know you will use that UL gear or get so fed up you sell it to the next one that will behave that way.
So for for the sub 3dmg/pec UL gear, see that the price will only drop, since that is in the best interest of MA. We know from history that the UL gun you buy for 40k ped today will drop down to 20k next year; and eventually it will drop to 500ped MU.
The reason hereto is that it makes no sense for MA to keep high MU for SIB gear; that isn't uber gear.
So UL will keep dropping, it is just too lucrative from MA's point of view. Please keep tiering your stuff and support MA, since LA's and Medusa's don't go that high no more.
Please enhance the shit out of those, since there alot of crafters crafting those enhancers. And their are alot of miners mining the ores there for.
Ofcourse you can complain to the forum; but don't forget to cycle a couple of k each day, else buying that UL item was not economic at all. Please don't burst that illusion you made yourself to buy it because it will only make you sad. Truth hurts.
You see, since the daily missions alone, we don't even need UL gear, we just go check daily for the bonus missions or if it is a mob we like to hunt. If nothing, we play something else; enough great games out there. We are not the ones needing to cycle K upon K each day to defend the reasoning behind an UL gun in the first place.
You see, by not buying the bait, we can say to MA that if they don't offer we don't buy. You UL guys bought a 5 year pass, you don't have any bargain power.
If you look at this this way, who is the one that loses in the end? is it the one paying a little MU on a gun (or killing 60 gibnib; and go leave for months if MA doesn't deliver? Or is the ones that don't pay MU, well besides the one time big MU much greater than the MU players like I will pay in the end.
Ohh, and gibnib have good loot
Enjoy your toys
I'll see you ingame when I feel like playing, prolly after another 60 gibnib died
