    To be honest I think these people are just personal friends with a fair following. Not anything too significant and thus needs to stop. Because in the grand scheme of things these are just a couple of rando's. We don't need another obscure "sabina" regime to spread exposure for this game lest we end up with rumors and other stupid scandals.

    I am being completely serious. Knock it off. Stop this before it becomes something embarrassing for this community. If this continues, well we might be pressed to start contacting NA HQ about this.

    Thank you.

    We don't know that for sure, Gaea. And even if it is true these people are random or merely friends of people who work at Nexon, this doesn't mean that there's always going to be a scandal following. These could just be people who are interested in cosplaying and were also interested in the game, and that's perfectly fine!

    I'd rather some exposure than none, and I don't want the game to die simply because no one talks about it.

    And honestly? They look like they're just having fun. And I appreciate that they were willing to do this, regardless of the fact that I don't really know who they are. ^ ^
    They might be popular in cosplay circles. Or perhaps popular in a specific city, like Greta suggests.

    Oh, do the kitties transform?

    The white one does, I dunno about the black one yet.
    Startled me the first time it happened XD

    I asked from another player who bought the black one, and they said that the black kitty doesn't transform. Which is really weird, that only one of them would transform but not the other. But I guess it's because one is a reskinned Persian (trans) and the other is a reskinned of a dark Russian Blue (which does not trans).

    It's very awkward. I kind of wish they both transformed and that the one gained a wedding dress and the other gained a tux. How cool would that have been??? :)

  • Why are people killing the market on purpose?

    Ah....Look. And I hope you won't take this the wrong way. But think of it like this: You can try and sell pistachio ice cream to a group of people as much as you want, but if they don't like pistachio ice cream they will never buy it. It's in the same line of reasoning: you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

    The AH is not made of infinite money that is randomly generated at will. It's comprised of consumers who are real people, with real likes and dislikes and tastes in fashion. They will spend ridiculous amounts on things they really want, and refuse expensive prices on things they don't want. And there tends to be trends: When it comes to wings, I've noticed that the following tends to fish the highest prices:

    1. Wings with combat/idle animations (bonus if they're black or white)
    2. Enchantable wings (bonus if they're black or white or have animation)
    3. Feathery, decently sized (*not tiny/miniature) wings that are ALSO black or white (must be both; any other colors are sold very cheaply)
    4. Dyeable wings of any kind.

    The Abaddon box, unfortunately, does not have any of these top contenders. So I do not anticipate that this is something people would want enough to pay higher than 5mil for (*depending on which server's market is. But basically, no higher than an average, middle of the road wing price).

    People tend to really want whatever the latest and greatest gacha has to offer, and unless the item is in high demand (Cheerful Bride outfit), they're usually willing to leave older gacha items in the dust so they can focus on raising money for the new gacha. Having someone sell an Abaddon wing at around 3 mil is pretty reasonable, and is at a price most likely to sell in this current context (because Abaddon stuff is "old gacha").

    Another thing to consider is that there are a lot of people in the game are not rich enough to drop more than 4 mil on a single item on a whim; those who are usually deal in gacha themselves, and likely already have the item in question (so wouldn't bother spending to get it anyways). A lot of people who may not be terribly rich might be more willing to spend on items that are practical (training pots, enchants), and so they may prefer to save their money for those items instead of fashion.

    No one is stopping you from trying to sell higher, and you may actually get a sale by someone who desperately wants it. But that may be nothing more than a rare anomaly, and not a guaranteed one either. You might have to be lucky enough to find a rich whale who didn't dabble in the Abaddon box, but that will simply take time. Perhaps even months worth of time trying to sell the item. But if you're committed, it's possible. A lot of people are currently looking through the Wings slot of the AH, because of the new gacha, so now is definitely a good time to sell wings (because they're more likely to look through wings and notice them).

    As to the reason why people undercut themselves or sell things at lower prices: I cannot speak for everyone. But for myself? I often find myself having too much stuff to sell, and only 12 auction house slots. I don't really have the space to waste on items that take weeks on weeks to sell, especially when I get new stuff. So yes, I will sometimes sell things at a much lower price just to get rid of the item and make space for new stuff, especially if the new stuff I get is currently "hot" on the market.

    I hope this helps! ^ ^

    If anyone happens to have gotten the Winter Greenhouse and has the chance, would you mind posting more pics of the inside? ^ ^

    I'm not sure if I want to try and get it or not.

    I do like the dress! A full length dress isn't something we've had in a while. Usually it's miniskirts or a dress with a very large open space in the middle or something.

    And that greenhouse! !! :o I wish there were more pics, but it looks awesome so far! A frozen version of the regular greenhouse we've gotten.
