Nice topic.

 

I only need each set of gears to perform better in game.

 

thanks! and i love the fact that im not the only one who feels this way. i dont mind transferring gear and having multiple chars that all use the same set. i do think that it could be useful to have a couple of doubles of things needed for solo-dualing instances, perhaps like bio3/4 mvp instance. maybe someone would want 2 dr etran's for tank & gen in that case. or maybe 2 keraunos for flash combing a sura, something to that degree.
 

 

Hoarding is fine in general, it’s a business strategy but it ain’t really going to apply to everyone. RO has always had hoarders, a few ppls becoming trillionaires due to investment on hoarded items. The problem arises when too many ppls are trying to hoard, it creates a bubble that ain’t going to last, and it can backfire. Just like the stock market, there are times you need to let go of your greed, and sell your rising stocks or it will eventually fall.

It's true, hoarding is a double-edged sword since you never know if your item will be thrown into a remix box and become super cheap out of nowhere.

 

But in general it's good to buy things for really cheap when people are trying to get rid of them and resell them in a few month. I bought a lot of Enforcer Shoes when they were in the remix for 100mil each and I've been selling a lot of them for 500mil+ lately.

 

these two right here^. and as such, i should amend my OP to be a little bit more specific about what in particular i find distasteful, and at what point. i'll make it short here though instead.

consumables i totally agree with hoarding for resale. its a smart decision for all, and everyone can make Z off of it because mostly everyone uses them. unless they break the system, no one will ever stop certing to upgrade or seagod'ing for enchants or gumming for drops and manualing for exp. consumables are always a win imo. even though the shortage of players outmatches the abundance of gear, we all seem to have a behemoth appetite for all of that stuff lol.

the other area that i sort of left grayish was, gears that are sold for 1b or less. following up on what Nirvana said about getting rid of stuff quick, i generally tend to stay within the vend limit. Kiel used tengu masks as an example so i'll follow up on that too. i mentioned i had bought one and landed 3 more from boxes.. so likely what i'd do with those is wait until they're around 500m or higher and then vend. it depends on the wait, but if i do ever slightly hoard something its never passed the 1b marker.

Spoiler


also, @everyone, you guys are all really really awesome. not only have you kept this thread insanely clean, but every person that posted has provided a really legit, opinionated stance which i totally appreciate. i was hesitant to post about this for quite a while due to the backlash it might've received, but i was dead wrong about that. seriously f'n proud of ya'll. :no1:

Well, you can do whatever you want. It is a capitalism and you can sell for 1z or 1b. If you don't like the price, don't buy. I always find good deals. sometimes takes a couple of days, sometimes a couple of minutes.

Im a hoarder because im honestly too lazy to sell the stuff. I buy the boxes for bloody branches and use the stuff that is good for my main characters. The rest just sets in my storage collecting dust. 

 

Lately bloody branch prices are so high that I don't even log in much to pop them. If we could just get bloody branch prices down to a reasonable price I could flood the market with some this junk I don't need  :heh: .  Im old school I guess. I still remember when bloody branches where in a box they could be bought for 5-8mil zeny each.

So, lemme get this straight..
You people are trying to scorn other players who spend ACTUAL USD currency on KP shop and you have the audacity to tell them how they should move their merchandise?

Why is this even up for discussion?

lorenz and king poring made valid points. you should do a little bit more reading, as this thread isn't really the type that's meant to bash those who hoard many items so much as it discusses what effects might and usually do happen with overhoarding on various tiers of items and gears.

but to answer your question, it's up for discussion because it sort of ties in with the duping scenario at the moment. there's too much surplus of gears and items. most of the items are in surplus because of actual spenders, but there's speculation that lots of items like cursed fragments and bloody branches may be getting duped. see nirvana's thread and you'll see what i mean.

I was. Once a hoarder. But i notice how one item's op effect is getting replaced by another in just a couple of months. There is no reason to hoard, so i just trade it right away.
