Faction Points 2.0

[Forward]

If they get low whatever. Only relative value matters in big scale. Top items will still be traded for top items. And if low-tier items (I include Elegy in this list too ofc) will become cheaper it's only for good for mod. More new/poor player will able to afford better gear.

What happens when its cheaper than the housecraft version like a lot of drops are already?

Are you going to say get rid of the gold sinks in craftables when YOU think the avg player should have greens and blues? You can have it one way not both. 

How fast do you want people to go from new to being able to buy a drop with pure gold?  

If it's just a couple of weeks that's not much time you are spending with craftables... That's not even asking how long do you think each stage of the item tree should take. 


You think I'm out of touch with craftables but it seems you want new people to skip them as that's already started to happen and will keep getting worse. 



I know a pikeman that just starting and he has asked me what should i save up for and i said to him.

Well, a house crafted spear is worthless as almost all the orange ones are less and are better. 
Throwing spears you go with house-crafted however i would just stay on Cts till you get a full blue armour set as you can pick up throwing spears but not armour. 
Its not like its rare to see better throwing than cts ingame anyway. 



Drops are something that upgrades have become "something most people should not have". Well atm the opposite can be said about some craftables "something no one should craft".

It's nice that orange legendaries and top housecraftables have similar stats, I see no crime in some of them worth less then housecraftables. Moreover there are a lot of craftables in economy already too, so it's cheaper to buy then craft. It's how it works when a game several years old.

Upgrades indeed are something only dedicated players might have. Moreover it motivates you not hoarding tons of items in your stashes, but sell them for gold and upgrade materials, which is good for economy.
Instead of selling you asking on the forums for features which will give you more gold so you can not sell items with prices you blame as unfair, though these prices are completely balanced in current economic situation.
