Yeah, I've just tried 5-6 times and still no joy -- I suspect this is what I get for being a hoarder :-P

I'd like to see it moved elsewhere, not removed entirely :D

I did a lot of vending today because Major Drills kept giving me vending quests. This just got a lot more junk onto the market.

Put all the legendaries in the MC, seriously. The false rarity on some of them is annoying

While I'm not happy about the r60 cap--probs won't vend much anymore--I hope the rest of these things really stabilize the economy. The last couple times I vended I made barely a profit and CERTAINLY not the 2 mil that my 1k tokens were worth but shrugs

Major drills asks for 6-10 vends and 1 vend currently counts as three. So the max he wants is 3 items. It's not affecting junk going into the system.

Interesting, the account worth seems much more accurate now.

Some MC items kinda throw it off though. since for example: Spring Sphinx Relief is being valued at 73mil due to the shop price, but is still availible in the MC for 5mil + the 125% out of season.

If you want a quick way to fix the economy though, just dump some new high priced items in the crystal shop for 50K-100K HPCs. That would effectively sequester both items, and sP (after all the cheap items are gone, people would start buying out the main shops) from the economy.

It would help to facilitate this if you made HPCs stackable like Wizard Tokens, then people could sell HPCs more readily to people who plan on buying the actual expensive crystal items.

Holy updates batman. Does this mean that the newest vending only items will be made available somewhere else? I 100% support not ever having vending only items ever again because it was awful but I'm definitely concerned about these items, seeing as they have only been out for a short time and it would be really crappy if they just disappeared completely.

2. It&;s official policy now that there are no more vending-only items being released. This was a terrible idea (and mine!) and we regret it very much. We&;re going to take a look at the vending exclusive items and figure out where they fit in the rest of the site, that will keep their rareness but also aren&;t in vending machines which just requires pumping loads of crap items into the site in order to get them.

I take that to mean that the formerly vending exclusive items will be released another way. So no, they won't be gone completely.

Keith, the following was worded way better than I ever could:

Quote by Lirikai

But seriously, the payouts are not as good because the rare items are getting more expensive, due to quest week. A lot of people, including myself, accepted to have losses on Saggi, and get profit from everyone else, including Quentin and Cinthia, for the sake of the 500K.

This. I'm one of those people as well. I don't expect Saggi to start becoming profitable for at least another week or so when the inflated values from quest week die down.

That said, Saggi was notably dismal last night. He's asking for some super super expensive items, to the point where I think I declined every single quest, which is pretty unusual. But that's just one night and in the middle or quest week. I personally wouldn't argue for any kind of tweak or reset to his quest until we know what the new restocking/vending machine changes will bring.

In fact, I bet this would get more notice if it were posted in the Site Updates "ECONOMY" thread which specifically addresses recent changes to the items quests ask for.

Edit: Also, his payouts haven't changed. It's just the market price of the items he's asking for has gone up so profit is less. That's a different issue entirely.

This is making Saggi literally profitless. Some of these changes are okay, but Saggi being reduced to practically nothing in return is maddening. He was supposed to be the so-called "more special quest" if I'm not mistaken? But what he's asking for in return for what he's giving out as reward Is just awful. He's almost worthless in doing :/

I've noticed a drop in profits from all the quests, but Saggi's the biggest offender. The people selling the items are making better profit than we are for questing!

R60 caps from vending now, too? That's a great way of making Rares and Super Rares almost unattainable now. These are perfect changes XS headdesk

I don't know who said that he was a "more special quest" (I don't know what that means). He was supposed to take rare items from the economy and give sP in return for them.

I just did five quests and ended up with a net profit, which is the point of doing them. You shouldn't be making a profit on every single quest. I'm pretty happy with where it is now :)
