I mean what alchemist would buy at prices that in like 4 days would jack up the market 2m? Most alchemist care about if what they do affects the market for others. However I know there are people out there who try to take advantage of us alchemist. People who try to jack the market up so they can make profit.
From both an alchemist and fisher perspective, I am disappointed at how prices are being played by fishers and buyers. Fishers for they know they are now indispensable and buyers who have little thought about what they are doing to the alchemy community.
I don't agree with how slates and sands are being priced but I do understand it on the fisher point of view. How? fishing game was just a sport and barely profitable, a joke if you consider, yes alchemy made it now noticeable but they are making up for the years that they earned poorly. Not enough to justify current inflation? I agree.
Well it takes skill to be on durem and not many can fish there, we all can agree that. Which is why people who spent time there must be compensated for their skill and valuable time of doing something else. I mean, yeah anyone can collect bugs at barton and find rares occasionally but rare fishes are more difficult to find plus the level difficulty of the place compared to barton huntin spree.
I talked to fishing players and asked why do they price high. Answers vary but these are repeated reasons. Someone's buying them. Spent a lot of time catching a bulk by months. It takes months to fish more than a hundred and fifty large fishes of the same kind. I know, I fished stones and caught 74 of them for an entire month time and they are the most easiest to catch and find among boldurs. So apply those to slates and sands.
As long as there are people paying they'll increase those pricing. Also, if an alchemist ain't willing to learn how to fish then they suffer to these prices. It is easy to pay gold but it is hard to catch for gold. Imagine spending an hour and catching only 1 slate or 1 sand, you're already considered good. But if you spent that time on barton or tiles, you could earned some gold faster and even in an un-inflated price comparison.
Solution? learn how to fish, takes time and a lot of pain but it's worth it. Complaining about it won't solve it. Empower an alchemist to waffle instead of buying in mp the easy way like the old days were philosopher caches weren't sold on the shop.
