1.0.7 effect on rmah

[plzdontban]

What's the general consensus on the impact of 1.0.7? It may raise gold prices since new crafting stuff is a dump, but I'm concerned that it's going to hit item sales hard. With all the new BiS coming from crating, what reason is there to buy items on rmah? I've already noticed a price drop in fast moving items like inna pants that I sell like hotcakes since the patch notes.

relax.
Blizzard will always choose a system that gives them maximum cash flow via RMAH. and we participate.

A crafting system that limits gear trading and requires massive amounts of gold? Sounds pretty smart from Bliz point of view on an auction system where selling gold forks over 15% of the profit vs $1 per gear piece. As botters, we will see a nice profit from these changes.

Gold will definitely go up. Gold has already gone on on US

Idc about stupid gold lol. items are 90% of my money. Who honestly bots to dump gold on the rmah, that's so dumb. I already sell my gold at the projected 1.0.7 price by flipping high ticket gah items.

thing is, the BIS crafted items are still gonna be rare as fuck. not everyone will have them. so they will still be buying the AH items until they hit their BIS gear.

it might drop price a bit on those high ticket items. but i wouldnt say that the market for them will die, at all.

this is an all round good patch for money makers.

I expect profits to shoot up until the May/June time frame honestly. I wouldn't expect the price of gold to go anywhere where it used to be at, but thank got Blizzard made all the new items account bound only. They are forcing players to purchase a crap load of items off the AH which in turn forces them to pick up all the gold from RMAH.

I'd like to see the prices go to .50~, but we'll wait and see. None of us can predict the future.

I only purchase items to flip with my GPH profits. If you sell items on GAH (15% deduction in gold) then turn around and purchase an item to resell, you're still making the same profits. One thing though, in addition to the 30% loss, you're losing an extra $1.00 lol. Plus, gold sells quicker on US. Items are not a guarantee.

It would be like someone IRL saying "Why invest in gold when you can make soooo much more off the stock market, that's stupid!". Gold is safer and quicker to turn .

No blista, I meant I purchase items with gold from the GAH, then sell them on the rmah. It may not sell as quick, but always sells, and at a much higher conversion rate then the gold. I was just expressing I'm not at all interested in making my bots into a gph farm crew to dump 30 cent gold as my entire experience in d3. Items are almost all of my money currently, so I'm concerned about the crafting stuff. Additionally, I've already noticed a significant slow and price drop since those patch notes went out.

I already see more items selling in RMAH because players are returning because of the "grand" PVP. and they want good gear to play.

I know what you mean lol. What I was saying is that it is useful to purchase the items on GAH then flip them on RMAH WHEN you use it with gold made from GPH, not IPH. If you're flipping your items for gold then in turn flip them on RMAH, you're taking a near equivalent flip.

From my aspect, I have a full time job and a family. Item flipping can be very profitable if you're investing in bids/low BIN auctions then flipping them. I don't have the time to do that anymore. My D3 "experience" consists of my logging in for 30-60 minutes a day and dumping items on mules and listing on RMAH/GAH .

Gold value directly effects the price of everything else. You think if gold doubled in value that Inna's chest you are selling wouldn't go up in value?

 

[plzdontban]

That's the point though, prices are down on everything. Shit is becoming almost a waste of time to sell. My fear is that the crafting gear will make all the other items even less desired. Hopefully that's not the case and some player base returns for 1.0.7. Cause taking a week to sell 200 strength witching hours for crap is getting old, and price on everything just continue to degrade and degrade and degrade

 

[eubot]

lol u dont even know what to flip . barbs prefer belts with life steal .
i doubt crafting will make any difference because peps already complain that chance to get a very good item from crafting is very low (it's actually worse then hellfire)
as for gold i doubt it will ever rise high again because the patch is crap and it won't bring back peps but we will see

lol like what. Paragon Level :: DiabloProgress - Diablo 3 Rankings or pick your site, you can't find a single barb worth his weight in salt without a high str witching. That also wasn't a flip item I was referencing, I can see how it came off that way though. It was just meant as an open ended reference. Everything is crashing in price, and taking longer to sell. As far as flipping, most my gold conversion had been put into high end inna pant's lately, I had been receiving almost .40 per mil on certain inna pants for a good 3 weeks. I guess just venting frustration when even good items take a long time to sell and at daily deflating prices.

193 dex witching hour 41% crit dmg 9% ias cant sell it.. how much should i put it in?

 

[HDThree]

If prices go to .50 I'm cashing out and botting till ban. Then quitting for Path of Exile , and playing that legit until a bot comes out for that.[video=youtube;NDFO4E5OKSE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDFO4E5OKSE[/video] Open beta on this game starts tomorrow.

I think that in the SHORT run, SHORT - before anyone cuts my knees out, that amulets are going to be hot for crafting. this will affect the amulets that we find, by decreasing their value. What this will also do is increase the gold prices because everyone is going to want to craft these and needs some capital to start doing it. Just my two cents on the matter.

 

[HDThree]

Also, as far as "bringing back players", I wouldnt count on that too much. I'm a player who quit in August and came back at the end of December, but everyone else who I've gotten to come back has since already quit. 2 types of people play this game. Fanboys who actually enjoy leveling their paragon and doing ubers runs and such, and botters like us. Even if 40% of the playerbase came back, only 5% will stay, and that wont be enough people to save the D3 economy. The game was ruined on release, and we simply have to just make do with what we are given, like we have been doing this entire time. Blizzard is garbage, nothing is going to change that. There will be no future patch that will ever breathe a breath of fresh air into the lungs of the crusty ass franchise that is Diablo. Not even PvP.
