OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. I wonder how many will get IG and immediately look for it then QQ when it isnt there. Just sayin.
Now on to my other comments:
1) LOL i told everyone diamond npcs would take money out of Gameforges pocket. I told everyone they would get nerfed or removed again. It was my argument why it wouldnt be a good idea to activate them at all. Turns out i was right.... again. Just like "Permanent Prices" which turned out to be a lie.
2) Why is it everyone thinks Diamonds in the AH = cheap diamonds? The only reason diamonds were cheap before is because gold spammers were stealing credit information of customers to buy diamonds to resell in the AH. THis caused a "more supply then demand" situation which drove prices down. With (AS GAMEFORGE SAID) they have fixed these problems and are able to put diamonds back in the AH again. This means the only ones selling will be people who spent their hard earned money and want to get as much as possible. I predict (and you all will say i am wrong again) that diamond prices will not have a large drop. People will do exactly what they do in the AH with every other item, maybe even more so. They will put diamonds up for sale for as much as they can get and only undercut when necessary.
I dont see why people think that an NPC that only will buy a few diamonds a day will drive AH prices when gear prices in the AH will still stay ridiculous. Also diamonds in the AH relies on someone BUYING diamonds for RL cash, then deciding to sell them, THen deciding to sell them in the AH, and then to take a 6% reduction (if they keep that "transaction cost" in place, which they didnt before they removed diamonds from the AH).
If you all think diamonds in the AH means cheap diamonds--- i wont argue, ill sit around.... and wait like i have in the past and be proven right again.
