Well, I like store prices the way they are. I think there'e a good balance of low and middle-range priced items, so that the average user can put together a decent outfit in a reasonable amount of time, and then work toward getting some of the really expensive items.

Same with rares and uncommons. I wish the sellback values were a little more consistant, but it does add a bit to the excitement of random events. "Should I open this box? I might get crap. I might get something really good! Maybe I'll just sell the darn thing."

Now... donation letters... I've had a beef with them for a while now. xp but that's a whole nother can of worms...

I Myself could buy two Ducky Hats right now. Full price. rolleyes

I agree that the prices are steep at times to some, but the more gold dissolved by the stores the less there is in the hands of Gaians. We have a huge period of inflation on out hands, prices are just meeting those.

gonk Lame QnF questions invade GEN

In my opinion, all the prices should stay the way they are neutral With the normal economic activity such as inflation etc.

But just because you can't afford some crappy item doesn't mean it's prices should drop rolleyes When you get the item (say a Devil Tail) you'll be like "Omgomg why aren't prices going up!?!?" neutral

On that ducky hat thing, I could afford about... 17 of them xO

I dunno.. I find most prices fine the way they are, save for a few uncommons/rares that should be worth a tad more/less

Tops, Shirts, Jackets should be higher in value
pants, skirts, shorts should be lower value than the shirts etc.
hats, head items should be lower value than the pants etc.
shoes, boots should be lower than all of the above.
I've seen shoes (in a certain set), a higher value than the shirts, I mean who would pay that much for shoes sweatdrop

I think that the admins try to reflect real-life prices. People regularly pay more for shoes, pants, and accessories than for shirts, at least according to the prices in the stores in my area. I can get a shirt for $10 to $20, but a regular pair of jeans can cost $30 or even $60. Shoes seem to cost $50 and up.

I personally would detest it if any of the prices of current items changed, and it is not something that I see the admins doing. If they want to make items cheaper, they usually do it with new item updates.

Agreed... to an extent. IRL, sneakers cost around 80 bucks, while shirts cost 20-30. 3nodding

On Gaia, however, items should be priced based on popularity and on time to create from pixels. So non-detailed shirts would cost less than shoes with discernable laces and such.

I borrowed a pair once and hiked all the way from Barton to Durem and I had blisters when I got there =-p

Maybe that's because they were borrowed and a tad too big? Hmm....
