Not able to put buyouts on Essences? (Read 3508 times)

	Every time I cruise by the ASAH looking for Cannith Essences, I notice there are 0 auctions with buyouts. Are you just not able to post a buyout, or are those all getting bought up too fast to see?

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	That's odd. I seem to remember seeing buyout prices listed for Cannith essences. Just checked Khyber ASAH...no buyouts there either. Weird.

	Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

	Some things you can't do buyouts on. Per the wiki: Quote: When selling items available in the DDO Store, you cannot set a buyout price when posting. This restriction applies to Ability and skill tomes Raid Timer Bypass Hourglasses Omnispell Dust / Omnispell Stones Cannith Crafting essences Hair dyes Siberys Dragonshards (restriction applies to flawed/imperfect/siberys/exceptional/flawless); siberys dragonshard fragments can be sold on the astral exchange with a buyout price Hearts of Wood

	Now I'm curious why the market for crafting essences hasn't stabalized yet. Its been months, but you don't see people hawking them in the streets. Regular AH is useless(yeah, I'm tots' gonna pay 2 million plat for 1,000 essences, uh-huh) and with no buyouts the ASAH has an equally high use-deficit-disorder.

The prices have been slowly coming down on cannith. They're down to "stupid" expensive from "crazy fucking stupid, are you fucking shitting me, you really want that much" expensive.

I've been trying to sell the same +2 Tome for months on the ASAH. I'm not even asking an unreasonable amount. But the "no buyout on DDO Store Items" makes some sense from a business perspective, even if it is frustrating as fuck for players. Crafting essences makes no sense though, there's literally millions of them generated free from deconstructing trash loot, so that seems like a dubious restriction. Better to unlock those for buyout and then sell much better crafting Elixirs to get more "bang for the buck" since DDO is all about QoL purchases at this point.

	They typically do not allow a BO price on anything they sell themselves. Their logic appears to be "You want it now? You buy it from us." So no BO price is available for the plebes who are competing with the masters.

This is bad juju. Leaving newbs out in the cold, or worse, fleecing them for being newbs isn't the way to retain players in a dying population base. Maybe SSG should have sat in on some of the Mobile Gaming business meetings to see how the new micro-transaction economy works.

	People would really pay significant amounts of plat and/or shards for some essences you can thousands of just by playing the game and deconning the crap loot (pretty much all of it) you get in every quest? It's the stupid rare collectibles that are a pain in the ass to get enough of. On top of having one toon at 400 crafting and another at 390ish, I've got 100k+ essences sitting in the bank.� All of those essences were acquired just by deconning stuff as I played and with no effort specifically towards farming essences.� Deconning the loot isn't even that hard but if you're really lazy you can semi-automate it: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/486542-Cannith-Deconstuction-Script

I've managed to bank about 30k but can't seem to get it above that number(keep having to craft new items!) So I'm not really able to bank the essences I need to make good use of a crafting XP elixir.

	I stopped counting long ago how many essences I have, when they changed CC, I changed all my old stuff and got about 100K I spent 80K getting to above LVL320, and since then I've just been deconning ( I crafted one or two items, I know I should craft more as I have a whole stable of alts that needs decent equipments ). Last time I looked I remember seeing 4 or 5 stacks spread over the 11 pages of ingredient bank... ( there might be more, you know hoarding and all )
