Absurd

This actually is quite a problem, Now why would somebody buy Frost for 375 Plat if they can get a Frost Prime with just about 25 Plat and 2 trades?

 

I don't think you're understanding.

NO ONE WOULD BY FROST FOR THAT MUCH IN THE FIRST PLACE.

 

De is probably making more money than they ever have with those prime sales.

The shop is broken. There's nothing wrong with player sales for this price.

 

Welcome to trading everyone.

I understand, But even if they do reduce the prices, They would never reduce it to how much you can get a Frost Prime in trading chat for, This kinda makes getting the regular frame pointless if not for mastery.

Prime trading just got here, So you know that is bound to happen.

 

Now if it was mods, That's PS4 Trading Chat right there, Clear as sky.

u dont say.... they think 10-50 is low.

so they think 500-300 is a normal price.

for me, 1-25 is low, 301-1000 is high, 25-200 is normal for rare mods and stuff. every1 should be aiming to be at normal.

This is not a problem because who would ever pay 375 for frost in the first place, even if you couldn't trade to get frost prime.

I understand, But even if they do reduce the prices, They would never reduce it to how much you can get a Frost Prime in trading chat for, This kinda makes getting the regular frame pointless if not for mastery.

Well buying regular frames was kind of pointless from the get-go and if your determined not to spend money you won't be getting frost prime except through the voids no matter how little they sell for. Myself there's plenty of reason my prime frames are all going to be Melee builds. I intend to apply different polarity setups on them and everything.

Yeah, as you mention it the items do need more of a value behind them. Not based on the current DE shop values, but on more reasonable ones.

 

The struggles of an economy in the works.

Lol, those prices are absurd. Period. When PS4 and PC players merge, the PS4 players are going to be in for a rude awakening. I refuse to pay higher than 50 plat for anything, and even then I cringe at the thought of spending that much for an item.

25-50p should be "High" for anyone. 

 

The only exceptions to those prices I've listed would be mods like a maxed serration, redirection, equilibrium, heavy cal... etc etc. The mods that take some serious dedication to max... Even still, I find 400 for a maxed heavy cal to be way too much. 250 for maxed serration is about right, maybe a little less.

edit: added trade tax to all numbers

 

What's the cost:

 

Frost Prime

30-50P to trade parts BP

X time for all the parts

12 hours x 3 for the parts

3 days for the frame

20P for the slot

20P for the potato

cost 70-100P + time to collect resources + time to wait + 70,000 credits + x credits trade tax

cost to rush

15P x 3 for parts  (I believe it is 15P a part not certain)

50P for frame

cost with rushing 155-185P + time to collect resources + 70,000 credits + x credits trade tax

 

Frost

375P

includes slot at 20P + potato 20P + rushtime since you get it instantly 95P + no need to collect resources + no need for in game credits

price for frost by itself 375P - 20P - 20P - 95P = 240P

 

 

So in this 240P - 155to185P = 55-85P, so you are spending 55-85P not to collect resources, or to have the 70,000 + x credits trade tax in game credits.

 

 

It isn't really quite as cut and dry as you put it.  It all comes down to, you want to spend time, or do you want to spend money.  Even if you bought all the Frost Prime parts on the market, you would still need the in game credits and resources to build and pay for it all.  Is it worth it?  It all comes down to, do you want it now?  Even if you're brand new to Warframe, you would not be able to get Frost Prime until you had enough of a master rank to be able to trade all the parts, and have all the credits for it all, while you could still get a normal Frost instantly without any other things needing to collect.

 

What do you want to spend, time or money.  That is all that it comes down to.

Cost of an entire Vasto = 190,
Cost of purchasing everything but the credits for the entire Vasto, slot, potato, rush build in foundry = 177. Bonus of a few thousand extra in Alloy Plate, Ferrite, and Polymer Bundles. 
Cost  of purchasing everything with the credits for the entire Vasto = 257. 
The cheapest, easiest to obtain resource in the entire game, Credits, adds 180 platinum to the total. But without it, it's actually cheaper to buy the individual components. When the credits to buy and build the gun cost more than the rest of the components for the gun itself....Absurd?
