There is one person with a notably large amount of crystal purchases the last 24 hours, but the pattern doesn't fit "bot" as much as "nolifer".

Since we're talking about this subject, there's many people who buy them just to resell again to other players, since they get 100%-2000% profit.
I suppose this is not intended to work this way, so what about forcing a cap of only 10 crystals being able to be bought per day?

Maybe, but that doesn't explain why health elixirs get bought up as well. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Then it's a mystery to me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I don't think it's such a good idea, considering that i can only pick up 100-200 crystals per day from bazaar. There's actually not so much profit when you consider that people can go grindfest instead of lurking at the bazaar.
Also, this will prevent the players in need of those crystals to buy them

The price of Energy Drinks seems to be constantly growing up. Is it normal?

Up to 12000 credits now... tenboro is still tweaking the prices

Look the intention of buying stuff from bazzar is to be a credit sinker, not to generate credits.
Yes, this will prevent the players in need of those crystals to buy many of them, but isn't what happens right now with the resellers?

It's not intentional, but then again it's not something I plan on "fixing". I didn't really predict that people would pay 200+ credits for one of those things, but hey, that's the market for you.

Hm.....i agree with you. How about raising the price of crystals then?
If most of the crystals require 30-50 crystals to buy one there should be no lurkers

It's just hard to resist when you can buy several crystals and reselling for credits
I'm not actively lurking them, but it only need 5 seconds to click on the item shop to check if there's some crystals
Even if i'm not buying them, others would still buy them for profit. That's what we call economics

It's still a credit sink though. It allows lower levels the ability to make credits by taking them away from high level buyers. Those credits already existed within the system. Obviously, Tenboro could increase the effect by raising the buy cost of crystals, but I think it's unnecessary.

Well the price of crystals increases to 20 credits right now

It was fast )

I'm just playing with having different buy/sell ratio on different types of items. (Yes, I've been playing around a lot lately.)

I should praise Tenboro for his fast reaction

But considering how many crystals are thrown out to bazaar every day, I would say it doesn't matter so much

I would suggest leaving the price alone and let the rule of economics handle it
It really doesn't worth your precious time to adjust for such pricing things (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

"Time spent making inane adjustments" mostly deducts from "Time spent on lolcats".

That's too deep for me.
Oh, no I just got it !
I see what you did there.

What a pity. You should spend more time on lolcats instead of dealing with insanes like me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
You have done a really good job creating a game that bringe people together (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Just ignore those relentless requests from me

Awwwwwwwww draughts are gone now ; - ;
I'll miss them xD

Damn I wish we already have an reward for PK.

My monsters are killing like crazy (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

i love this game but i don't love limited

i got 5-6 artifacts from 15-20 times of Item world

if the artifacts can bring 2-3 of drinks for me everyday it was good

but now it's nowhere near enough

Do it like others, and buy Drinks at bazzar or from other players.
