Platinum market

as anyone who is an older player in celtic heroes (especially a plat buyer), you probably notice how terrible the platinum market has become, with the update many new, young players joined the game with a credit apple- didnt know how the current economy worked, and the average cost of an elixer or potion has lost 30-50% of it average value. i can easily say that i used to sell my super combo elixers at 12-15k each, recently i have seen them selling for 5-8k and begrudgingly lowered my price to 10k, only got one buyer, the math- if u spend 100$ you can either buy stuff to use/merch or buy 500000 gold- the 500k divided by the 4000 plat is 125 gold per plat- however plat is bought with REAL money, and the items in the plat store can (for the most part) ONLY be obtained through plat... for this reason i strongly feel that one platinum coin should be returned to its former value of 250-300g plat items should be worth more than direct god exchange because they can only be obtained through someone who spends real money.

i know it would be asking alot to propose that we all refuse to pay these low prices that noobs offer and instead pay more- what needs to happen is the sellers side of things need to restore prices to before. my wallet has been crying since the update came out and i first saw a lvl 30 shout "selling super combo elixers 6k"


when i got my first super combo elixer in february-march for the defector quest, i sold it for 15k within a minute of shout,

:cry:

Haha may be a bit off topic but my fondest memory of something I sold was when I yelled out, "selling 80+ bracken the puppies" and good ol' Greenbigg gives me 16k for them haha... I was like holy unfathomable this guys either rich or insane! I am currently wondering what he does with those puppies. Does he show them his "green bigg _____"? Jk haha no offence to green... I'm still super happy he did that even though it was like 3 months ago :D

@pigman - haha sorry I had to!
@kumquat - lol I had to delete my family because it got to confusing... now all I have is Chimpy, PedoChimp, ChimpsBank, and 2 others that I won't announce :D

Back onto the plat market thingy... yea I agree that players should pay the higher prices. I may not be on atm but it seems like y'all are running out of sell items to keep the economy stable. ( disks go for cheap, probably same for meteoric quest items. Gems basically useless.) If you guys don't make a smart change fast the turnout will most likely be : the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, or everyone gets poorer.
