[QUOTE="Belisarius76, post: 6550106, member: 6790160"] Ok a dictionary extraction: "Value" :- the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something. so sure, as I've previously written, and you have written, desirability as you put it, is part of the equation, but not all of the equation, that's what I'm trying to get across to you, and looking at this dictionary reference, they seem to back up what I am talking about. Value is not just desirability, it's rarity as well which, as you put, effects price, which is also intricately tied to something's "value" quite clearly. So ingame if you make something scarce, it's worth more in value overall, than if I spammed the same items over and over and made them easy to gain, just like in Real life. If I want an old Tiamat miniature, which is more clearly in demand now and rare, I pay a far higher price for it, and it's "value" is higher overall. In relation to the power gamer comment, it was just that mate, a statement, I couldn't understand where you were coming from and placed that out there in parenthesis as almost a question? So don't get upset about it, it's not an accusation, a dot point. You seem very touchy, which is not good for constructive conversation. [/QUOTE]
