    Srpb

    As a soldier who has stuck with assault rifle all this time I feel I have to ask this question...

    SRPB = NODROP

    Why on earth would I upgrade my SPB knowing in 2 months it will sell for 200m+?
    No I will not buy Age of Conan. The list of reasons could fill a phone book...

    Why would the SPB sell for 200m?

    If you want that improved gun, you'll have to (a) get it yourself and (b) not be able to sell it. Should lower the market prices on the other Pblasters a bit. If you don't want it, you'll just have to live with the fact that you may go up against ppl using one and who will have a higher attack rating becaue they use it.

    Good point, they can always be had for about 40m as it is.

    Your missing the point completely...

    Or your purposely masking it. Either way, doesn't matter. Time will tell.

    FC's goal is to reduce the number of items that will sell for that kind of inflationary price(which is IMO a good thing), and with this patch they put a lid on some of it (see also threads about the new NODROP Bellum Badonis items).

    Kit + Loa, + spb = SRPB

    SPB gone. <- you see this part right?

    Next step, say there's 200 SPBs.
    100 used and gone. 100 left.
    INFLATION.

    get it?

    Now how is that helping with inflation and how do you think it's going to make the existing SPBs cheaper?

    They're easy enough to make. If you want to sit on one hoping it gets more valuable, be my guest. Most ppl with Sols will have better ways to spend their money to advance their char.

    For the last year SPB has dropped from 60m to 30m.
    Bellum? *Laugh*

    That's deflation. So... want to try that again?

    RK1 = 3 SPBs on the market.
    Doesn't sound easy enough to make. Be a good source of income if it was.

    The spb is now more useful and rarer. But I won't except to cost as much as the current spb+jobe+kmp(or kep) for the 150 to 220 weapons.

    For the reason to upgrade your spb while it's price raise ? Well maybe that's something about 1000 max skill while having the IP for pvp setups.
    Now will it OD the pistol+mp soldier in commando, dchest and rbp ? Don't think so but I'm still glad I kept mine.

    Edit: Might lower demand on jobe pistol too, now I need to hire a marketing specialist to better planify my 16.3 position and demands. FOr a better profit.

    lol, how many LoA do you think will drop in the next year? way less than double barrel apparatuses which can be gotten in a couple of hours of camping.

    The guns aren't "gone" they are being used, so for every rspb out there thats one less person who wants a spb. Any end game AR soldier wouldn't be selling their SPB anyway.

    btw, they ARE pretty easy to get, and making them costs a few mill in tips, or free by org mates. Number of guns on GMS means nothing, I could make a few with stuff just rotting in my bank and double your number right there. 1-2 people start camping them and they could flood the market in a few days.

    Soldiers who still have their SPB by the time they get a LOA and turn it into a SRPB were not selling their SPB anyways. It was never going back on the market, thus never affected the market price. Demand might go up slightly, but considering the real bottleneck of getting a LoA, I doubt it.

    If 200m+ can buy u a better weapon than an upgraded SPB waiting for the price to go up might be useful. If not u need it anyway so might as well upgrade it right now.

    Agreed. I switched to pistols a long time ago. I kept my spb anyways, just to have it. I suspect that many endgame soldiers did the same.

    so at what lvl is it possible to get that rebuild kit?
    considering yu need inferno access, pande access and whatever else yu need to Tag the beast if tag only is needed ( haven't done quest myself no soldier)
    And I don't see how that is going to deflate market prices.. the pistols will still be an insane price because they still remain after the patch a **must have** items for 200 soldiers..

    So if that lord of anger is only obtainable by 218 sols ( min req for bot) i fail to see the point. nearly every soldier i see is pistol and the bids to get LoA gonna increase so 218 still dont get one fr some time..
    Also, soldiers twinked with high symbs (that needs a lot of G** stuff to put on) they won't reset ..

    If it was directly upgradable from spb i'd say yes viable option but LoA on top of that kills it IMO.. as a Viable solution
