... people would actually buy shit in the marketplace. Now, literally nothing is selling. So many prices are plummeting down the drain. What the heck is going on? xD

You cannot tell me that our market is so saturated that price decline has to rise so immensely within two weeks. lol

Rathedan · 02-03-2011 04:12:45

Sure can.

Its a bubble economy, saturation rate is being reached at a far more quicker pace. Basically what you're seeing is the low end willingness-to-buy consumers potentially dictating market prices, where it was high end before that caused them to skyrocket so quickly.

Price fluctuations happen in both directions, and usually falling prices are faster a la Bertrand's theories.

I understand that the econamy tends to go back and forth, but I just hate extremities. After a longish period of overly expensive cards, we now have hit a shit pool low. I see relatively new foil rare cards being sold for less than 20k. Wtf?

Deflation is great for the player base, I do not mind this. I just dislike that lots of cards are now going unsold, even after being up for over a week at, actually, reasonable prices.

Don't forget that a lot of people bought a lot of boosters last week between the arrival of Sevylath and the XP cards in every booster. So now we have a lot more cards being sold and prices are down.

They added payment options for lots of countries that didn't had it before, and created lots of new paying customer upping the supply.

before you posted, i thought this was only a moderator only topic.. lol..

i also think it is because of sevylath discount and the zil discount.. a lot of zil cards are really low now.

bleachman · 02-03-2011 10:07:20

The booster promo from last week only strengthened the general decline. It was already going down before that. The promo just made it go downhill much faster. >_<

Bloodlust007 · 02-03-2011 10:20:22

also what doesn't help is people not realizing what the actual value of the card is and underpricing it. for example thunder king requires 3 cards that together cost between 100-150K and he is being sold for 85k.

eternal is a beast of a card has the some of best stats in the game and could be used in any deck as a third. when he was released i sold him for 180k. i bought one the other day for 18k and there aren't many priest decks without him in it. thunder king is the same. he is a good card with amazing effect i sold him for 200k a few hours later he is being sold for 100k and he was released the day before.

in my opinion card value is based on effects, stats, what cards are needed to get that card to max level and the time it takes to get him/her there. if a card costs you 100k to make sell him for 1.5x to 2x the cost it took to make it. you may not get your asking price but if you get close you make a solid profit.

but sadly with the amount of players on eredan now the booster promo and the double xp boost over the weekend the odds of market prices going up soon without a substantial amount of cards being released is very slim. give it time card will climb again.

I think it can also be the high prices. Unless you have lots of money, lots of free time to play and or a Facebook with a lot of friends for free crystals, getting crystals takes a lot of challenges. After a few fights without being able to get a cool card or really good cards because of prices, the game tends to get pretty boring and fast. Not everyone has or wants to use Facebook, and not everyone will pay cash for an online game that occupies them for a little bit and thats it.

I was hooked for one day because of a friend and noticed getting anything good or fun was ridiculously priced and as a result I ended up pretty much giving up on the game. I think thats a cause of a loss of players and it causes less and less buyers. I bought maybe one or two cards in the marketplace and they were just low priced crap cards that improved the deck just the slightest bit because it was all I could afford.

The only real starting the game good hope I had was be able to get all 3 starter decks and use cards from the 3. But that gets old fast.

It could also be that there alot more players and alot more cards are being sold causing the rarity to go down and thus the price drops a bit as well.

The moral of topic "No one is buying cards I sell for way too high prices. I don't want to sell cheaper so I blame everyone"

bleachman · 03-03-2011 03:48:53

What some of you say is true. But even with a growing community and purchased cards, prices shouldn't plummet down like this. lol

I haven't been selling much as of late because I plan to wait for another short inflation phase, but I do browse the marketplace for new catches and often see the same cards up for sale but not being sold after a week. Even at decent prices.

Tis too extreme for me to comprehend. There shouldn't have been such a gravely immense amount of purchased cards in the marketplace, nor has the amount of players increased immensely throughout the past couple weeks either.

Politikas · 03-03-2011 08:59:30

Supply and demand. Supply is up, demand remains the same, or maybe even went down. And term "decent price" is useless here, no card has set value, so you have to live with liquod market.

Another moral: don't invest your life saving into eredan cards

Crisis (not the game) hits Eredan too!
We're Doomed!!!!

the reason no one is buy from the market, is the fact it's slow, locking up, and kicking players off. the prices are going down for almost the same reason. it locks up, no one can buy, so when we sell cards they get sent back to us. so we price it lower till it final dose sell.

Nurvus · 16-03-2011 04:48:22

Truly one of the reasons alot of players may get bored and stop buying/quit the game is the slow pace at wich crystal inflow happens.

Even when spending money on this game, it kind of goes like:
- A player who manages to get some decent cards early will probably stick around.
- A player who gets an unlucky streak will probably just quit and regret ever having spent time/money on this.

The overwhelming speed at wich new cards come out, constantly separating the old from the new, the poor from the rich, etc, also weaken free player motivation.

If only there was a way to get boosters ingame through crystals (giving unsalable cards) - would make all the difference to keep new players hooked.

There needs to be a decent inflow of cards. Players need to feel lucky somehow.

or they could always just do some free surveys to buy boosters? and with more crystals that would just mess the market up even further

Cartel · 17-03-2011 15:39:37

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the change to experience. I think that is the biggest reason for the decline in market place prices. There used to be a huge difference for, lets say a lvl 1 character and a lvl 4. I remember pilkim being sold for 100 at lvl 1 and like 50k and lvl 4 cause it took super long to level him. A good gain on xp for a match was like 4-6. Now, you get that just for losing lol. This killed the character resell market and pretty much destroyed a lot of peoples way of making crystals. Now, the vast majority of owners with lots of crystals are the same who are buying packs every week and don't need to spend a lot in the market. Less traffic means lower prices.
