Extra Sharp Cheddar
Second, the price tags don't really phase me all that much. I personally probably won't buy anything, but... I guess if you're someone who buys five 999GC RIG bundles a month to sell off for your dream avi, I fail to see how a 5000GC halo is any different, money-wise. The only difference will be
supply and demand which is not something Gaia controls directly. Prices are set by users. There really shouldn't be any b'awwwing over that.
I can debate that :3 Demand and supply controls the price for the most part, but Gaia heavily influences the supply, and has more subtle influences on demand.
If they price an item lower and have a sale like Black Friday, supply will increase.
If they up the ratio of getting an item from a rig, supply will increase.
If they re-release an item in a new bundle, supply will increase.
If they release a cheap alchemy formula for it, supply will increase.
On the other side of things, they can decrease supply by make it a component in alchemy formulas, or adding a high sellback.
They can also influce demand too
surprised If they release a very similar and cheap alternative to an item the demand for the higher priced version will decrease.
However by releasing more items that goes well with an item will increase demand, as users who previously had no use for it now wants it.
