1. Merchants buying out FM and setting high prices 2. People going to NLC to gach instead of Shrine [fewer scrolls = increased prices] 3. More white scrolls + chaos --> cheaper prices --> since they're cheaper, people want them more --> increased prices Not a Meso Generator *EDIT* meso selling sites sell more mesos for the same price BECAUSE the purchasing power of mesos has decreased so they compensate by increase quantity.

No not true in the least, visit unpopular Leafre maps and stare at the hackers and know 1 of them is probably YTMS, banking 3b a day they are cheap because smart people are selling their hacked mesos to those site for about $4 100m, and 3b a day for botting that is some nice money... YTMS hacked FMKing (check ANYTHING you will not be seeing him pop up any time soon) therefore he can drive prices sky high... therefore right now scania and broa will be affected the most since those are YTMS's main servers (other will be too obv. since FMKing controls/ed them all)

Merchants raise prices for everything. for example, I currently have all of the topwear str scrolls in windia and I price them at 7mil each for 30%

Site said: "Hahahaha does anyone realize how ridiculous #3 actually is?" actually point 3 makes some sense, since theres suddenly a bigger supply of white scrolls and chaos scrolls people would think that the prices are going down and the demand for them would increase, unforunately the people with the scrolls could be profiteers and instead of lowering their prices for the scrolls, they'll increase them in hopes of cashing in on the increased demandfor them =S

what. #3 is from basic economics. if there's more of something, it's value decreases. Since it's value or price decreases, it's cheaper. Since it's cheaper, people will want it more. and when people want more of something, people will sell higher to maximize profit. example: white scrolls were 500mil before gach rate increase -after the gach rate increase, white scroll prices dropped to 100-150mil. -since more people can afford them now, people began to buy them in mass [mainly merchants and people searching for godly items] ---> people began buying them up so prices increased. [white scrolls are now 400mil] windia prices

#3 is worded weirdly but makes logical sense

The high GFA prices are a good thing for me.

thiefnab0012 07/07/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

#3 Goes like this. More White Scrolls (more supply) prices go down, 100-150m. More supply means more people buy them. Merchants realized that people would buy them so they jacked the prices up to profit more. It's a good idea really, but overall the economy suffers due to everyone scrolling perfect equips, meaning they have to use regular scrolls (60%s 10%s). This, in turn. decreases supply and increases demand. Prices skyrocket (GFA 60% 10-12m). I know this has been said, but I combined the posts.

[white scrolls are now 400mil] windia prices" In other terms: the economical law of Supply And Demand. Memorize it. If there is a lot of an item, it's price will naturally go down, due to the rarity of it dropping. This in turn, causing the merchant to awaken in maplers, so they buy them more (DEMAND). This in turn makes sellers raise prices, because they think "OH! People want it! I should make it higher for more big bucks. :D" Get it now?
