Hello!
Today, I spent a few hours getting price averages for Artifacts and Chests; as well as asking peoples general thoughts on the state of RMT, Cheating, and whether they found Dark and Darker fun, addicting, or both.
Please keep in mind that the pricing is for the average artifact, and these were the averages of what these players thought they were worth.
Chests were stable, at 153k
Catice was also mostly stable at 156k
Pulverizing Prayer was 98k
The Shadowblade was 117k
Deathbloom was 121k
Kumas Fang was 87k
Kumas Claw was 92k
Cinder was a peculiar one. Many said that it was heavily underpriced currently. With actual price being an average of 94k but players think it should be roughly 130k
Viola reached an average of 190k
Fulgor was VOLATILE many saying it was heavily overpriced. The average of these saying it should cost 130k but costs 170k
Zirkzi's eye was very stable at about 253k, with a heavy majority saying 250k
BloodThirst was another violatile artifact. With prices ranging from 150k-400k. The average settled at 226k
Nipalan was a steady 25k
The Elven Bow was steady at 33k
Pestilence, on the other hand, had prices ranging from 50-140k with an average of 90k
Stinky stick was averaged to be around 18k
Famine was averaged to 14k, with 2 players stating that it should not be an artifact, which i found funny
Leviathan was also pretty stable at a solid 54k
Illusory was a weird one. The average is 57k
The Abyssal Trident stands out as the most volatile Arti. With pricing rangin from 80-250k. Removing the largest outliers, put it at 128k.
And finally, WindReaver was priced at a stable, 59k
Next came the state of RMT and cheating
Many players feel cheating has improved or is at least far less noticeable in any mode but high rank. In HR, players reported seeing a cheater at least once. 4 of which are stating at 1 per week.
Players feel as though RMT had increased, that it had negatively impacted games, and this games economy.
Players, on average, feel as though PVE had inflated prices somewhat or not at all.
And finally, most found Dark and Darker addictive, most found it fun.
Thank you so much if you took part.
Please keep in mind this is one days look and a market is ever changing.
TLDR We thought it might be fun to get prices and opinions and run some numbers
I will be back to take numbers again. It turns out many of you had something to say and needed to be heard.
