It’s because one person paid a retarded price for an item BC80, using his big crypto gains, people got wind of it and then somehow the price was even more inflated than the actual sale price, and ever since then prices on weapons went full retard.
Now we have resellers buying up hoardes of high end gear and not selling unless someone is willing to pay stupid prices.
has nothing to do with the game being better. Has more to do with a couple of key resellers controlling the supply of high end items because when people go to sell they have peds available and they will sit on it asking ridiculous prices until someone finally caves in and buys it. So the choice becomes either cave to the resellers or play with L gear.
This ! has nothign to do with US and usd....there are many many players around here that are not from US !
And it wasnt 1 guy that overpayed like crazy mother funker ...there were many fishes that overpayed like crazy and slowly price ramped so hard to the current lvl i can say it a total joke but a real one lel ! I know for my self what is worth what cuz i have around 1 mil ped tunrover trading mostly weapons n rings
But the Avarage Joe here even much more educaated then others mmos is just going to get ***** no matter what when it comes to trading and buyign expensive gear for 1st time ! Thats it you are going to get ****** . Ifu have plenty of money and time and decicating playing EU ....its usualy better to pay 1 time that entry lvl fee. There are tons of solid weapon around 60-65% eff and u dont need more if u casual play few hours per day . You dont need 30k in rings when u dont have any armor or use some stupid **** 5k gun.
Problem is most new players has no real clue what they actually should buy and how to spend ped wisely between weapon/rings/armor slot and have ped left for bankroll too !
Also has nothing to do with game being batter ...game had like 3 months server lag etc IT WASNT BETTER ,,, it just felt and still feel better cuz its way more alive and populated !! And here we come the the biggest factor ....supply and demand !
Supply is super low ...and after those recent chnage ll still be super low.
And most high end weapon will keep the price ...but will they keep the overprice tag with tier comps payed at 850% MU++ ...i dont think so.
It takes time but the market ll adjust and even bigest resellers cant aford to hold items forver .... Ped makes you ped you know and u need to roll it !
I ll share something else I shuldn't (cuz at some point i was heavy reselling too) but probably but i dont care anymore !!! To give a some prespective what the fvck is going on with prices and how things work around when it comes to selling/reselling etc. In this game many hunters are also traders but there are also some pure resellers. Some tarde often other trade rarely but do huge trades and also make huge ped . The amount of greed i have seen in his game by some players i ll not name ofc cuz this is not namign n shaming post this is "it is what it is" post is just AMAZING .
Most players dont track the prices in general the way i did for 2 years non stop and has no real data to compare things . A BIG AMOUNT OF PRICES POSTED ON THSE FORUMS as a buyout price (talking the big items 100k +) are actually
fake and serve just 1 purpuse ...to pump and keep pumping the prices high as possible even if sounds gly or totaly unethicall hjaha ! If you have too you ll take a lost but wont undercut the whole market ! I did price check items posted on forums for 145k BO that actually sold for 120k etc(yes i can make some1 talk i dont rush them but if my goal of this whole convo if to get some info i usually get ) ... this is a normal pracise
Right now when a reseller ask you a price for a highend weapon keep in mind he got that weapon around 15-30% cheaper (usualy the case) or a lot cheaper(1/3 time some1 ina real rush to withdraw)) or got it like 10% cheaper (may be only 1/5 of the time ..aka 20% max of reseller ll be so kind and try to make only 10% profit . Ok so each time a highend weapon flips it keeps adding like 5-25% (yes i vary a lot this is how u make real profit here its not by playing the game its by playing the player !) on top of the last highest known sell .
EU has so few 80%eff+ weapons ..so few that for example at some point i start tracking who has what and what is the last real price trhey payed how long ago who was the sellers etc everything LOL (this info can eb tricky to find out but its doable) The prices of the good sh1t was doomed to skyrocket at some point ...the triger was Covid but the reasons are complex
!
p.s. see mod 2350/2600 price ! Even right now they cost almost same to craft but its a long and annoying process . This happened after i stop playing few months ago but prooves one thing : If an item its really useful players ll pay more and all comes down to supply and demand.
If you want to see EU in a state where the best weapon or just items in general sell for "FAIR" price
A: MA triple the amount of them in game while making them much eaiser to obtain : WONT HAPPENED ok
B: Deposit 4-5 mil ped and fix the problem your self ! no double that... i know some high end weapons/armors are impossible to change the owner unless u overpay like crazy (2x +) ! EU just had to many 1 of a kind items and thats why i still love it !
