Quick poll for proposed changes

[Sandstorm 1,170]

Hey,

A quick poll about the:

• recent change regarding personalized shops. Seeing as quite a few players did not like the change, you can vote on how I should deal with it for a future update,
• augmentable degrade-able items, mostly focused on Sirenic, Malevolent and Tectonic. Personally I think augmenting an item shouldn't remove its original repair functionality, but, I'll let you guys decide on this one.

Poll will end automatically on the 30th of January. The best picked option will be the one I go with!

I think the majority will pick repair with coins but the best eco wise should be using original mats. Otherwise one set is all you'll need except for helms which are the lowest requirement for mats. But we shall see!

I thought the same thing, however scales are way too annoying to get. Also, far too expensive.

The problem with basing it off of eco is about 1/3 the active players are irons if what i'm seeing from vote parties is accurate.

Scales are very easy to get.

Too much gp ingame, more money sinks please. Repair with coins 100%

But scales are easy to get if you go specifically for them.

I don't think theres enough active players (which are not iron already) bringing things like scales/energy in the game to make this a viable option

I didn't say they weren't easy to get. Nothing is particularly hard about camping somewhere for days. It's the process of getting them.

I'm not just talking about scales for sirenic, i'm looking at masterwork and trimmed master work, ancient scales from Seiryu that took me 90+ kills just for the set, tectonic and soon to be elite tectonic.

Perhaps make it so dyed+augmented is repairable with coins but normal augmented takes mats.

Can't dye masterwork or trimmed masterwork and I'd rather not keep mining out glory bars to upkeep my armour.

The biggest thing is the amount of content there is in game does not match the amount of players, which can lead to easy merches due to everybody focusing on one thing (I.E. sirenic scales) which crashes the price. Once the sirenic scales become more than needed by players (see malovelent energy), the price crashes and people move on to the next peice of content they want to focus on until the price becomes enough to farm again. This happens with almost every item. (See: Nex farming during event causing way lower prices).

 

Repairing with cash allows you to have your gear, farm scales for others and keep price stabilized for new players to also gear up and be on an even playing field rather than the alternative repairing with scales, to which everyone will hoard their scales instead and the economy is in ironman mode again. (Example: Armadyl armor pieces) 

---------------------------------

My vote for shops explained: 

I voted for increasing stock shops at home due to the fact 100 cannonballs is laughable. That's about two minutes of a cannon going (if that?). Ideally, the better vote would be Hefin restocking as it should, but due to very minimal stock of some crucial items (pots for overloads, cannonballs, etc) I voted the other since I'd rather just buy dragon bones that are available on G.E. or farm Vindicta then worry about afk Crystals @ Priffidnas and I didn't see an option for both to be increased/fixed.
