Its actualy rly funny if you think about this, people who complain about prices being to high never pulled any mu out of this game ( probably because there is no marktup in kerberos) they say they will wait untill prices drop, meanwhile they wait the game gets "harder" New top gear replaces the old top gear.this results into more waiting because prices on top gear will Fall one day.
BECAUSE it takes sooo long for a top item to devalue they choose to buy a garbage weapon and shoot mindledss , loose theyr ass and complain on forum about it
Meanwhile others who rather use those "overpriced" items, profit from mu and remain/rank up in the positions.
I know how it feels to not being able to buy one of those items, but since i swiched my mindset and actualy put some effort to buy one of those items i can say it was worth it.
I developed my Avatar over time with smart hunting,trading,reselling,theory building,constantly scanning the market/forum/patchnotes for oportunitys, if i am not ingame i spend my time on the forum reading posts compare Things on Wiki constantly developing my Avatar. After i actualy understood how the game works, i did put some money together and bought strongboxes... those gave me a great boost in skills and mu. What i used to buy Extras in order to make the setup runn perfect. I pull mu,i see constant profit i am able to do regular Upgrades.
Its not about how to profit anymore , if i sell a item i sell it in order to buy a better upgrade that will result in more profit , what will result into more Upgrades.
