Let's get this one spawned! And remember to vote this time.

Cornuthaum 18 86 79.1%


ummm, I'll get my vote in later, see what everyone wants ;)

EC looks to be the next item to do, as it already has 42 of 86 votes.

a vote EC and a request
for SC from me!

I'll go along with novice, SC for me.

Elven Cloak 52 86 39.5%


go with the crowd, SC.

Why an elven cloak? I've been trying to sell a base one, and no one seems to want it.

Where have you been trying to sell this EC NightStrike? There have been no EC auctions in 2 weeks, and I can't find a FS/WTB post in forums for an EC from you in November?

In chat and responding to posts requesting one. I'll toss it in auctions and see what happens.

No wonder you can sell your EC:

The min bid on your EC auction: $1,350,000

You're at least $250k over market price. No one will buy it that high unless they are really desperate.

Err, that should be CAN'T in the first line of my post....

I'll say SC for novice as well.

If it's scarce enough that it requires a blackmarket to spawn, then it should cost more.

But if it is too expensive, people spawn it with black market to bring the price down a little... or at least keep it stable.

I'm requesting SC as well.

/me hops on the bandwagon

I'll put my vote in for the SC after this EC is spawned

Bring the price down? By your account, the price is already below a million. I paid almost 1.2m for mine. I want the price to stay higher if I can't even break even on it. The BM should be used for things that really are scarce, not an EC.

Just because you paid too much for something, doesn't mean that's what it's value is. The highest price I could see in auctions for a base EC was $1.1 million... the average price paid is lower than that. People obviously want an EC, and they want to pay market price for it. Not $350k over market price, especially when one is on the horizon to spawn in BM.
