[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7334859"] Because the whole point of this thought experiment it that some of you don't trust the opinions of WotC staff and want "objective" data. But, ok, I'll play along. Let's say they do edit the results, so that +1 warhammers and +1 longswords have the same price. What are you going to do with that number? Are you going to consider it "RAW" and not deviate from it? Or are you going to change the price to something you think makes more sense in your game? Remember, we are [I]not[/I] talking about player entitlement. No, "DMG2 says 1,500 gold, so you have to sell it to me for 1,500 gold!" If you're going to adjust the price to what you think works, what value do the published numbers serve? Does it [I]really[/I] matter, in any way, if the current rarity-based pricing says 50,000 gold, and the new survey says 17,500 gold? If 50,000 is too high, your players won't pay it. Or maybe they will? In non-competitive D&D, [I]why does it matter[/I]? [/QUOTE]
