Ok so a while back Mu introduced a rarity stystem in hopes of giving people a idea of how many of such amenity is out there. Now im going based off of assumptions here: Very Rare= 50, Rare=75, Uncommon=100 ect ect. Now with that being said, you would think prices would reflect on those principles, so why da hell do I see common amenities goin for crazy prices? My point in makin this thread is to see what the motives is, even though its obviously greed.

well still have to factor in supply and demand. For instance a uncommon dvd could go for 80 favs but each person only needs one. Playboys also being uncommon can go for 350 favs, but each person needs 5 so is much higher demand. And some things might be low on rarity system but are hoarded by players so is still hard to get them.

Thats my point neo, whats the point in hoarding? R they scared of the next person coming up in the game? Ooh n I understand where ure comin from, but ok.....xbox regs I see goin for 100 favs or better, which is $15 paypal when they use to go for $5 or less before all of the new changes came about.

well if you hoard 50 xbox you can make quite a bit of favs....so I guess thats the point. But maybe low lvls more comfortable buying off the market where they know they will get ammen, rather then buying direct from ppl and hoping to not get scammed. lots of scammers about now days.

Favors are also devalued, 100 favors isn't 15 it's 10 now if you go by what users are selling them at, and it's easy to get them at that discounted price. xbox 360s went so cheap cuz a lot came out, naturally after time and new people sign up they become more sparse again.

no one wants eds/sws anymore just favors cuz favors are more useful.

Yea that sounds like greed. If I had 50 xbox regs shit u can sell em for 50 favors n still make a killing. But they insist on sellin em for 100 to make it harder for noobs to get started up. The point im trynamake is everyone doesnt have that many favors to start up with.

another thing is their are alot less xbox regulars around now,since u need to convert 3 into 1 protected 1...same w/ alot of other basic amens that you have to use 3 or 5 to make 1 protected.so the more ppl protect the lower/cheaper more common amen the less their r going to be...eventually even your moves and basic's will demand a greater price.

Yea tru thats cuz favors are the main currency now. Once everyones all out of favors, I bet the prices start droppin, well they should at least due to the fact that they will b hard to get again.n as far as the xbox s there still rare, which means they should go for about 400-600 favors since you can get 500 favs for $40 now

I understand completly what your saying, buy with that being said the rarity would go from common to uncommor or whatever would be 1 up from that. Then the value can go up because theres less of them out now. But as long as it stays at common, it should b treated as common. Rite or wrong?

true..don't know if thats ever happened yet..ik i've seen amens decrease from very rare to rare etc,etc...but never seen 1 go up.i think i had read in the past where maybe sangria said that that might happen w/ dumbbells..since you now need 5 to make 1..eventually it might increase in rarity so you only need 3 to make 1...maybe someone else has seen an amen increase in "rarity".
