GuildWiki talk:Suggestions/Pricing guide

Rikroll can help with prices :p. Mercher ftw. &mdash; Warw/Wick 18:55, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * "Rikroll" refers to Prog. Anyhow, I think weapon prices are too differentiating to list. Tomes vary greatly between Profession (normal assa = 100 gold, normal monk = 800, normal ele = 600), but are static, nontheless. Noone in the whole wide world has Rit tomes, and thus there aint a real price for it, tho. Anyhow, I could see this working for static prices. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  19:02, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Rather than just copy/pasting my original text from the suggestions I will just post my suggestions of possibilities for this section to function. First off, it would need to be a protected section.  Hands down, that is the only way to prevent the worst kind of abuse.  We would need a set of individuals trusted by the community to be authorized to make any pricing adjustments necessary.  Any users that want to contribute a pricing change could then do so on the talk page, similar to how Guildwars Guru does their pricing sections.  If this is something that the community wants, I feel that this is the only way it could function in a wiki environment.  -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]   I~sk8   (T/C) 19:03, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * What are your thoughts on the fluctuating and non-static prices of things that aren't rare drops, but noone has for sale, and things like Crystallines, Obsid Edges and the other high end, rare uber weapons? Not to mention rare weapons noone wants... --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  19:06, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Would this have any functionality regarding historical prices? like a graph showing the price changes and notable events (release of new chapters) would be very useful. Also, it would help in identifying vandals/anamalies.  --JonTheMon 19:08, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Historical information would an interesting curiousity. For example, could we add something to Elemental Sword saying, "This sword used to be highly sought after and was priced in excess of 100k+. However overfarming have dropped the price to less than 30k on average". This is both true and common knowledge. Additionally, pricing rules such as "non-elite tomes rarely exceed 1k because the skill can be obtained by a skill trader for the same price." Or "lockpicks can be obtained from a discount merchant for 1200 and many people therefore sell them for 1.25k". Such things would be easy to document and are generally easily confirmed. My hope is that this kind of thing would draw enough new traffic that it would be self regulating with interested new users on hand to catch errors and revert vandalism. Additionally, I'm hoping that some of you can also help provide information on how we can implement even something close to this&mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 19:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
