Yeah I mean it's not like someone just said lets buy/sell current DIs for 4k per because it's fun. It's because it actually makes sense to sell/buy them at that price if you factor in everything.

And it's not like the price suddenly jumped. It's been gradually increasing the past few months from what I've seen.

Exactly, xD. And here everyone is saying it increased out of nowhere.

Ashley this is a start of a beauuuutiful friendship! xD

XD Personally I saw it go from 2.5k to 3k to 3.5k to 4k over the course of some months.

Some people seem to think it was selling for 2.5k and jumped straight to 4k+ for some reason

Likewise xD if I took the time I can completely name every month with each price change took in that general month.

Yeah, I guess some people might have been on hiatus and missed it, but I can't really think of any other reasons that people didn't notice it unless they never go in the merchant square forum.

They might of not notice it, I know the price change started in February with the bear/dragon item going for 3k-3.5k xD. People might have just didn't realize it because it was still in the 3k area.

Hm, maybe so. I guess when it hit 4k+ they started to notice it more

Yeah, I'm sure if you check old threads you can see the price change easily.

Oh, you meant 4k for the CURRENT monthlies? I thought you meant the PREVIOUS monthlies. In my personal opinion (this is NOT an official statement and should not be considered as such) selling current monthlies 4k is a little bit steep but probably not high enough to warrant stepping in (although isn't the price of runes right now such that you'd be better off buying runes and getting the monthlies yourself?).

I think it would be, it made me donate 5 dollars this month xD
Prices are 2.5k - 5k right now per 20 for runes.
Not too bad at all.
10k per 20 would most likely be a problem unless there was natural inflation backing it up.

If the price of runes NATURALLY inflated to that price I wouldn't be arguing about the market; that would be more accurate to say that the value of aurum had fallen. I WOULD, however, be looking into making some changes to figure out how to balance it back out for the sake of poorer users -- a weak base currency is bad for everyone.

Upon further reflection, I suppose that could also mean that the value of the rune is shooting up too high due to scarcity, but that actually means BIGGER problems for Trisphee (though it's not so bad for the users).

the prices of previous monthlies are hardly rising while the prices of current monthlies/runes are getting pretty steep. I wouldn't pay 4k per 20 runes. and I DID see a jump a few months ago when runes were gradually climbing from 2.5k to 3k per 20. I saw some go for 5k per 20. it was only one or two sales then, but it did jump to 5k, not gradually by any means. I understand rune prices going up in general. 3.5k doesn't startle me. but 4k and 5k does.

@Coda
Exactly xD
Yay! Everyone is on the same page now!
I'd love to see how you guys counter it.

@Lucid
It startles, but its not quite there to scare you yet. That's a good sign believe it or not. That means its time for change. And the old monthlies hardly rise because... Well for one there was more runes back then, and two people want newer and fancier things.

I don't really get "scared" when it comes to Trisphee, unless I think that the site is going to go under. No, startled is just as bad as scared when it comes to the market. But that's besides the point.

Yes, rune values are going up because of the scarcity of runes. But then why aren't older items inflating as much as the current ones?

"But then why aren't older items inflating as much as the current ones?"

.....
Just sit that in your head for a minute....
It will come to you....

That's sorta like saying why isn't that one 2004 MC on Gaia isn't worth over 10 million gold then its current million price tag.
So..
Is the item popular?
Items tend to sell more when they are just released, and increase/decrease by popularity.

Theres 2 other reasons I can post but I want you to figure them out on your own here.
