Weapons prices since quality was introduced.

Maybe that is because 150k for a weapon that won't last much more than a couple weeks of regular use is ludicrous.

Who regularly uses a /8 weapon?

It's meant to be for Either ulbers, on rare occasions, or People, when you duel.
Or for Re sale, if you're in that buisness.

We players carry around other weapons for regular use, mine for example are 2 Crafted swords, been using them for weeks, started at 300, now at 280.

A low skilled player wanting to level up/treasure hunt  on gladiators and rogues? Of course at that price they would have to be an alt of some rich players or sell their soul to a banker...That is what I used mine for. Now I can kill a gladiator in one to three exchanges ( that would be two to six hits ) with store quality weapons. I have no idea what I could do with a 300/50 weapon I haven't bothered to try to make one. Maybe if I'm good santa will drop one in my lap for presentmas.

I've done a test a while back of Crafted weapons.

They are stronger than /4's, so i do not use my /4's anymore, rather i use the crafteds.

That would be true if it weren't for the fact that money from the 85M bug is still floating around.

I thought a cash wipe had happened, was it ineffective? If it happened it must have been.

It certainly seems like it would be a turn-off to a new player to know that they will never get one of the quality items in the game, I guess that is why there are so many gold miners. I guess I should not say never I could probably get that much in a week if I stopped training but not getting practice for fighting when there is possibility for advancement is a waste of time to me. I got lucky with the iron axe finding it within a week of my return.

It reduced everyone to something like 100,000 trias, but I know for a fact that many people invested all their money in glyphs before the wipe so they avoided losing any money.

Obviously the thing to do is to wipe all cash and items to restore balance. I suppose there is some reluctance to do that as for some reason they didn't do it in the first place.

Personally, I don't care if someone else has more money than me in game.

A full wipe of cash and items would cause more chaos then restore balance.

Remember you are only wiping it to give the new players a chance, giving the new players a chance does not override all the people who did not exploit bugs and got all their items fairly.

I'd rather say to the new players, no worries, only a few players did such and such, work your way up, don't worry about anyone else, and you'll do fine.

For a time, but then things would settle out.

I don't either but it sounds like the only ones who got caught short by the wipe were the ones who were out of the loop and anyone who made their money from a bug (it has officially been called a bug hasn't it?) and still has it despite the wipe is abusing that bug to this day. It has been tolerated and is unlikely to change but I think this is a perfectly valid viewpoint. Surely it is a bug (unintended side effect) that would allow someone to buy several million trias worth of anything. The only conceivable reason to do so is for just that purpose, avoid a system balance operation. If glyphs are that common why can't you find them by the side of the road like a mushroom and how long would it take you to pick a thousand mushrooms which is how many glyphs a million tria could buy. (Is my math off?) Or does Levrus have a "conjure glyph by the thousand" spell?

It wouldn't take me too long to get back to where I am if a full item/cash wipe happened. I might never get another iron weapon but that wouldn't bother me.
