The Great Deflate?

[Googi]

Right, so today Sam held a trivia event. Me and Kyden tie for third. Each of use recieve a Heart Shield of Health...

for coming in third.

Second place got an Ice Dagger. Detecting a plot to deflate the shield, I sold it posthaste (For a Dustari Shield, which I suppose could easily be the next target for deflation).

This effectively means that the staff now view Heart Shield of Health as an item with less value than Ice Dagger. It's also similar to how Bjorn gave out a Cowboy Hat for third place in Labyrinth, valuing it as less than a FID, and saying that Cowboy Hat was going to get spammed in upcoming events.

First place won an Inferno Dagger, which may signal that it, too, will be deflated. Though since it was given out for first place, it wasn't given out "lower" than any other items, making it difficult to determine what the staff think the "new" value of it to be.

I'm not really trying to say whether such a deflation is going to be good or bad. Just that it seems to be happening. Hold on to your virtual pocketbooks.

P.S. 5.733 speed for the win.
