(XBOX)xJdKxZomBiE Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 So I came back to War frame after I left during the Jordas Precept quest.. So I am completely new to Riven stuff. Why in the Lt Lech's left testicle have we not implemented some sort of trade house limitations or heaven forbid, auction house of some sort, to try and put a stop to people charging absolutely unf***ing acceptable prices for stuff? Guy wanted 1500 platinum for a Sicarus riven mod.. Another wanted me to trade my three riven mods and other stuff for a Corinth one.....plus platinum. How is this cool? I understand Rivens are hard to come by, and can have absurd unlock requirements.. I had a Phage one that required scanning a synthesis target without using traps not abilities, alone, while wearing a hobbled dragon key... And another was solo a 40 interception while wearing a hobbled key... Wtf? Get 19 headshots while aiming in a single bullet glide? Another fine gentleman wanted 1200 for Nova Prime parts. Having no guidelines or regulations for trading is ridiculous.. Am I salty? Yeah.. Expecting someone to pay nearly 50 dollars for a mod is dumb.. I'd rather just buy the Mirage Prime pack.

Voltage Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) It is called a Free Market economy. Anyone can charge whatever they want for items. If you don't want to buy it for that price, you can barter or decline. The guidelines/regulations are created by the market and supply and demand.

(PSN)watt4hem Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Don't buy overpriced stuff. Simple as that. People are greedy, don't give it their way and they'll eventially stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding the exact same stats with the exact same percentages on the exact same weapon is mostly impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkSkysz Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Who cares...everyone use the price that they want on their items. Don't want to pay? Move along...and a little hint: Go farm the items yourself, it's free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DissentWomble Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Meanwhile people are asking to buy a saryn set for 25-55p, Maiming strike for 4p, every single uncommon mod at 3p. People have their own way of trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the corinth one makes sense if your mods are bad rolls, since the corinth itself is a new weapon and from the looks of it, may just be the next tigris when it comes to popularity. Other than that, the rest of the mods have to legitimately be godroll in the sense that it oneshots everything in game to justify that stupid price. Nova parts are still bullsh*t though. That frame's worth only like 250p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can spend platinum on Forma, potatoes, trading, cosmetics, boosters, weapons, warframes, and more.

Maou Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Dude its player driven, can't do anything about that, either way economy balances it out. heck if you know what your doing its easy to gain/loose money from rivens, I was offered 9k for my uber opticor riv at that.

_Vortus_ Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Thing is, when you want an item that is in high demand, with a low supply, the market is dictated by the seller. Its a safe bet that if a weapon is very good without a Riven, then a good Riven for that weapon will be expensive. If its a newer weapon, the price increases. Nova P is vaulted, so prices are going to be high. As high as you saying they were, well, a fool and his plat are soon parted if someone pays that. I would love an actual Warframe sponsored market where we could list our stuff and forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfeather75 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I have a feeling we will be able to do more stuff with rivens later on and won't have to spend tons of platinum to get something decent for our favourite weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPrime Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yeah, sadly, that's just how the market is going to be. If someone is willing to pay for it, that sets the standard until the buyers make the sellers change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather not have an auction house kind of thing, price flipping my friend, price flipping, alot of games got destroyed cuz of those S#&$ty antics where a whale buys out all a certain item then flips them.

The guy who finally made 10k plat has spend hours and hours farming kuva, days and days hanging out in trade chat finding the right buyer. I look at my paycheck, see how much money I make in that amount of time, how much plat I could buy with it, and suddenly the guy who made 10k plat has become the laughing stock of the Warframe community who’s time and effort apparently is worthless. It’s not a free market. It’s a marketing scheme designed to be so bad (in terms of profit made) that any person with some self respect buys the plat instead, thus making money for DE.

You realize laughing stock is someone who tries to tell others how to play the game right? Your time is not worthless if you value it. I find it funny that you associate making 10k+ with farming Kuva. It is a free market, and whoever says otherwise is either naive or does not know basic economics. The prices are run by players and the market fluctuates based on supply and demand. I have valued my time spent trading, and I am sitting here laughing because you believe that this community would laugh at someone for playing how they want.
