Ladies and Gentlemen, Let's get ready to GOUGE!

[Priran]

I think you're all overlooking the IGE Martin Luther King's Day sale.

It's over. FFXI is finished.

[Lordender]

the gilsellers had a dream where they could all log on together and over inflate the price of items!

[Takedown3]

1.2 climbing back to 1.35/1.4,

This is a climb? Normal fluctuation.

Pretending to know economics because you play FFXI is so 2003.

It's fluctuation until the prices double, then it's inflation.

QFT

hi fu

when's the honeymoon over?

I wonder what that spike was? Was it Santa!?

Things are still going dropping. Gouging seems like a pretty poor idea now, unless you're cornering a market.

I guess Asuran kids got their money early. Maybe they were celebrating Hanukkah.

[Matricide]

what the fuck is goin on? every server is up by a huge margin and people are overpaying for shit again.

[Kurp]

I don't believe it. My initial thoughts is that it is a glitch, but I'm going to poke around.

What's going on is all the bannings and less amounts of people ( GS ), doing ks30's for D Ingots, V Claws, D Cloths etc, so there is less product on the market, and prices are fluctuating upwards. Once the new batch of GS hit 75, there will once again be 30 V Claws on the AH, and price will float back down.

It's just a fluctuation spike due to supply, not the inflation of gil.



As a side note, last year or the year before when inflation got really out of hand, I had bought like 7 B Hides for 11M each trying to HQ Dusk Gloves, then like 3 days later the prices dropped to like 2M for hides and 1.7ish for gloves. I was piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeee dddddddd.

Tell me why, or are you still analyzing the artifacts you pulled out of your ass? For an hour-to-hour spike across all servers like that, something had to have happened. So what was it?

[nsx]

SH's are going up because V Claws aren't being flooded onto the market anymore due to alot of RMT being banned. Less supply. same demand - prices rise.

This can probably be expected in some regard on most items made w/ the craft items from sky gods (though d.ingots drop from alot more places than sky gods vs. V.Claws)

Inflation happens because more gil is entering the system than leaving.
This is not happening.

No man, this happened overnight practically. something is up.

Ya the supply of 30 V Claws on AH isn't up there anymore. And also, maybe some bonecrafters aren't trying to HQ SH anymore, if this was happening across the board ( medicine, food, materials, other gear ), sure it's inflation, but it's not.

[Matricide]

these stats are across the board and on every server. why are you fixated on v claws and d ingots?

edit: im starting to think it has to do with ffxiah changing the way they come up with averages, the averages list was taken out from the main page.

Sorry, i'm the only teenager who doesn't know it all.

because the example used was SH and V. Claw.

No huge jumps over the last 24 hours. Either something is wrong with the data collection, or something else fishy is going on.

On that note, I thought they had a list posted at one time that told what all items they used for the index, but I can't seem to find it. Looked through their forums and just found a couple more people asking with no replies, anybody know?

Gotta agree. I don't see any shit spiking anywhere on Cerberus. The only highish-profile item that has raised with any consistancy is Peacock Charm, up only about 1M in 20 days - probably just normal fluctation on a higher scale.

[aurik]

Stuff is gradually increasing on Asura right now, but no huge spike.

[Navia]

Dynamis currency prices are a better economic indicator than some of the stuff on the AH imo >.>
100bynes crashed to like 700-800k each, i've never been harassed so much to buy dynamis money.

Those people that think they are clever and want to trade me a 100byne for a M.Silverpiece that still fetches 2m can fuckoff
