You will fail.

Originally, Stephen and I started competing for brutals, and that's what caused a lot of this. He was buying for 16, and I started to top his prices by offering 20 per brutal. Rebel all you want, but there will always be people out there like me who get competitive when it comes to buying on the market.

Even if you could convince everybody to go back to the old prices, I could simply buy up all of the brutals for a higher price than what you offer. I'd be cutting sellers a better deal on their brutals, and getting exactly what I want in return before others do.


Competition drives the market. Capitalism 101, sucka.

Why would you raise prices when self-farming + regular buying provides enough brutals at a low cost? I don't know if it's just because you're both low leveled, but the prices you're paying are ridiculous. The wealthiest players would go broke hitting high levels in phys/wis/magic (75++)

You can also level for free outside Crypt... And the exp is very good along with a high respawn rate.

This was several months ago. Zombie exp was raised on Halloween, which was only about a week ago. We could both easily afford those prices, and in order for anyone to beat us out, they'd have to match or exceed what we were paying at the time.

While you might think it's a lot of cash, it's becoming mere pocket change as time goes on.

It's cuz he traded dem green platinum coins, and doesn't really need anything else if you ask me. He's got the gear, what else should he spend it on?

You really haven't looked at the amount of experience zombies give (probably due to your laxed - i can pay for everything - approach). Regular zombies, which are avaliable for farming all year round, give about 2,000 a kill for a skill @ level 66 and i believe it stays very constant. Enough for Cell to level phys even at it's 95+ level.

And excuse me, but mere pocket change isn't 500-700diamonds for 1 level in 1 skill. A cost which only gets higher as you keep leveling. The only way to level through brutals is to self-farm. But this just damages the lower level struggle to earn money.
