I mean honestly, you guys are only just messing up your economy even more with these little "item auctions" that you host. I mean yeah, while it's taking a lot of money from this one select person, at the same time you're giving him an item that is probably in the end going to be worth 2 times as much as he originally paid. Really, all these "rare" items are only raising the standard of how much money should be achieved in order to get a half way decent weapon. If you were to release all items with set prices, there wouldn't be any misconceptions of how to "fix the economy".  |
Releasing rare items reduces their rarity, so if carried out enough times for a specific item, it becomes less and less rare. However, as a downside to the technique, the item also loses value each time so you'd be taking less and less money from the economy.
Releasing borderline-rare items into NPC-ran shops with a significantly less price than what's on the market could also be good, but may also piss a few semi-rich to rich players off - nobody likes losing significant net worth.
