Market is dead

[Stanislav]

I never seen in the last 1 year and a half the market so dead.

No one is buying anything in Giran and prices continue falling.

Is the random crafting system dumping adena or people stopped playing ?

I think its both but for different reasons. Of course random crafting has killed value for alot of items but also theres a huge market influx of "expensive" items like dolls, talismans, S grades etc and not so many players needing or having the means to buy them. This eventually leads to prices dropping.

For me an actual new invested player is one that will push past level 80, most people quit at around level 79-80 and all of them are batshit broke when doing so. Its actually one of the main reasons they quit. So who exactly will buy all these end-game expensive items? New end-game players dont exist or are very few, old end-game players already have everything.

People who play at top levels almost all have full gear and lack only p2w items and top epics.

Epic, priests drop only dolls and epics and even those are rare drops.

Thing is that only items needed are p2w, rare enchants and top epics which most of are obtained from events and loot boxes.
Bad or too rare events = market dead.

Past lootbox events there very bad, middle tear rewards had very low chances and a lot of ppl ended up getting just fruits, no enchants, no cloth pieces nothing.
When people count they understand that is better not to even try because its very risk risk to get nothing in return.
This makes market "empty", because currently there is no good event, heroic circlet and its enchants are not tradable either. When people can trade sell each other enchant and other stuff then market is "alive".

Sealed a grade is useless and low b also so no one bother to put shop and just crystallize and sell crystals and those few who bother satisfy the need of few casual players who need a weapon.

A lot of 1 week lasting  illegal servers opened  recently draining a lot of casual people.
Those servers attract people because last patches have ONLY small incremental updates on classic which made illegal servers catch up to have almost same server version as classic. There is also no complex scripted instances or anything added in long time.

There is lack of content for casual player and for senior hardcore player also.
Lack of content for small groups (i dont care that 2% of people who have top of top items can solo some instances its not the case)

All theese reasons and many other contribute to market being dead.
Market now is basically people farm adena, even comes, people use event items to enchant or sell for adena thats it..

I agree with this assessment. Lets hope they wake up and do something that makes sense for once to reinvigorate the server.
