Master Crafting Metamods
" Pretty much. And, the price is not going to drop, because there is no profit in someone selling their exalts lower then someone else. They are a needed commodity. And, they arent easily produced. Unlike the bread analogy, where someone could decide to sell loafs of bread at 25 dollars instead of 30, they could build up a customer base and make profit selling theirs lower then everyone else at 30 dollars. But there is no way for people to make a profit selling exalts lower. Hell, Chaos in general are borderline worthless. You are honestly doing yourself a disservice even selling your exalts for chaos UNLESS you can manage to sell them for a larger Chaos price then they are worth, and then rebuying exalts when you can find them for your own price. Which is time consuming and left to the flippers who 24/7 comb trade chat all day trying to rip people off out of 3-4 alterations at a time. It would be different if Exalts were similar to Chaos in that you could actually produce them or find them more effectively. Especially now that Exalts are even more needed than before. Now, they are in even higher demand because of their crafting and their need to buy mid-tier items. Chaos are so worthless its not worth trading your items for chaos if you can help it. Its basically the equivalent of a dollar bill and a chunk of gold. If you get the chunk of gold, its going to go up in dollar bills whether you do anything with it or not. If you take 100 bucks for your item, or a 100 dollar chunk of gold for your item, well in 2 weeks that 100 chunk of gold is going to be 120 bucks, while that 100 bucks wont even buy you the same item you just sold for 100 bucks. Lately, anytime I trade an item in chaos, I go over-pay for an exalt in trade, because even if I over-pay 3-4 chaos for an exalt, in 3 days I'll have paid the same price, and in 3 more days, I've made 3-4 chaos. I've been dumping my currency into exalts since the beginning, overpaying every single time just to save myself trouble and time of finding a "deal." Because, I dont need a deal, I just need an exalt and itll make itself a deal in a week's time. |

Wonder if this will affect stantard when all the nice warband people merges... wts exalt: 87c.
Now to think about it if the direction really went that way then my wealth will be almost tripled because I use exalt as my main currency and convert all chaos to exalt every chance I get at 30-40 per. I just keep 5 stacks of chaos around for modding maps and do double beyond with zana. The real hardcore PoE players and the elites sit in town and zoning in and out of their hideouts trading items. Noobs that don't know how to play PoE correctly, kill monsters for items. It's pure fact, it will never change. Welcome to PoE. Last edited by Pewzor#2343 on Aug 27, 2015, 3:31:46 PM

I like how everyone here is hinging everything onto exalts. When people find out how valuable chaos really are, things are going to change.

Easy solution for all this nonsense: change recipe prices from two exalts to 10 regal orbs. Or 20 regal orbs, or 50 chaos orbs if you want to make it unnecessarily "hardcore". Thus exalts will have their previous, before-inflation value, and chaos/regal orbs become more valuable and usefull.

" As people stated in other places, allowing some people to see that info (dev post) and then not giving others chance to see it leads to, intentional or otherwise, selective profiteering which makes GGG complicit in whatever schemes follow from it. The deletion was the wrong move, even if the dev posting it in the first place was 'wrong' on GGG's part to begin with. With the cat out of the bag, there was no way to put it back in. It was a shame some had "insider" info and got lucky learning of it while others didn't. Shit does indeed happen. My previous post here was about GGG not owning up to any of it, instead glossing over many aspects with this manifesto. As such, much of the flak they're getting is fairly valid imo.

Hey GGG, thanks for allowing a few people to acquire a tremendous unfair advantage by deleting that information. In my opinion if you are going to implement the ability to do things like these crafting "tricks" then you ought to make the information public; even without the not-suppressed-quickly-enough "leak" someone would have figured it out eventually. So much for "fair play". In before someone says "BUT VENDOR RECIPES ARE SECRET BLAH BLAH BLAH". Yes. point taken. Rebuttal: Vendor recipes don't allow you to acquire hundreds of exalted orbs and destroy a temp league economy with next to no effort. Very, very poor choice on the devs' part. Let's hope that they learn their lesson from this.

" I agree with this 100%. Saying "Oh well it is a reward for being clever" is a bullshit cop-out. That excuse might have held water to some extent, but not when GGG actively prevented the majority of the playerbase from acquiring the necessary information by deleting that post after only a few people had seen it. Once again, even providing the ability to use these "tricks" without making them public is totally unfair; actively manipulating/suppressing the information just makes it ten times worse. I am very disappointed. Last edited by fonzychickoon#5428 on Sep 8, 2015, 10:59:20 AM

Remember one dude on stream was surprised when I said what I play in standard league.
What is point for casual player play temporary leagues and make hard grinding game even more harder? :) Just interested, every time these leagues get owned by scammers/flippers like it is now in WB? Worst part, what currently WB bullshit coming to standard league and prices for EX going up. I believe, what after a while standard should back on track, but WB most likely is RIP. |

Well the amount of exalts that are in the economy pretty much guarantee that there's an exalt recipe i wonder what lengths were gone to keep that in the hands of a select few?
Lets just do a total orb wipe and start again LOL id love that. "Blue warrior shot the food" Last edited by maxor#5545 on Sep 12, 2015, 2:43:10 PM
