more to the point, the funniest thing about this entire topic is the fact that you can clearly see proof that is minute calculations are infact false, right here on this very forum. the fact that on almost none of these game forums, does the perchasing price of that developers currency completly correlate to the exact conversion ratio of the price of forum gold. in other words, if his theory was correct, the price of vindictus gold would already be, and have been, that of his conclusion and ratios stated. since it is not, theres obviously, as i have stated, literally hundreds of other factors that influence each games conversion ratios.
examples:
1: if the games popularity increases or decreases, the conversion ratios will reflect, that is but 1 of the hundreds of factors. I have already stated quite a few of these in the actual thread. let me pull a few more off the top of my head as to why you should be ashamed to even be trying your point.
2: the simple fact that you can literally perchase that games currency in either more convenient and more realistic, yet costly ways. Or, vastly cheaper and possibly risky or less realistic ways.
3: the fact that jsp currency is not only attainable via the set price of their push button perchase option, that it is attainable through hundreds of other options without spending actual cash, and that it is attainable through cash at better ratios.
i mean why am i even entertaining either of you, let alone anyone that may share such a narrow scope. gatta be trolling me and if i was a betting man id say im only half correct, now thats funny.
Actually some of these games, if not most, do in fact use the purchasing price of the developer's currency
AS A REFERENCE POINT. DOTA 2, for example, has more or less a set price based on the market value of DOTA 2 keys on steam (when they were still around back in the summer), and every other cosmetic items use that as a reference point to determine the FG value. Of course, the price per item will vary depending on popularity / supply and demand.
The whole purpose of the thread was to point out how ridiculous Vindictus:FG rate is, and it would be cheaper to purchase gold directly from gold seller or convert real life currency (NX) to gold
ASSUMING PEOPLE ARE BUYING FG with $$, obviously that does not apply to everyone like you have already mentioned, people like myself obtain FG via other games, and does not in fact purchase FG with $$. This doesn't make his theory unsound though, so I am not sure why you are making a big deal out of it.
Honestly, if the rate was fair, people would have cleared out the supply by now based on how many people are buying EAST gold on the first page, and he is one of the few people that is selling
I am sure if I wanted to, I can convert my FG to other currencies offered on this forum and then convert them into NX and sell NX items in game for gold at a much better rate than what is currently offered
