Price Jackers Beware

Wow, I've done a lot of ranting on this blog this week, but that's just the way things have been going lately. Today, I'm going to rant a little about the players jacking up prices on the room decorations needed for the Transfer: Neudaiz room move pass.

To trade for the pass, you need three different room decorations: a Paper Lantern, Kakwane Figure, and Scroll. Prices haven't skyrocketed too much for the first two items, which is understandable because they can be synthesized cheaply. Player pricing for the Scroll has left me a little bit confused, though.

Unlike the other items, you actually have to find the Scroll decoration in a mission. I have to assume that sellers are hoping that players will be too lazy to go hunt down the item themselves. However, Scrolls are ridiculously easy to find. I found one during my second run of Mizuraki Defense C, less than ten minutes into the hunt.

Despite the fact that the decoration is common in missions, some players have raised the price for one as high as 5 million meseta! Is the community really that dumb?

If you want a Neudaiz move pass, take my advice: don't give in to the greed of the players running these shops. Find or make the trade items yourself, and watch the prices come down. Let the lazy idiots buy up all of the overpriced junk, and instead show a little effort to get what you want.
