I stopped reading after page 4 bc I am tired so if anything I say was repeated previously I apologize...
Cygnus has nothing to do with this inflation bc there was never a crazy jump in prices even when pirates were on the pinnacle of being released...
It all has to do with the fact that people can get 1bil meso for like $40-$50 now from meso selling websites...and even though not everyone does it there are a good amount of people who do and who will start to considering the price is so cheap.
Keeping that in mind if you had that much meso and items were at their previous prices pre-inflation that would give people the incentive to buy out items/scrolls in the fm to either use for themselves or to inflate prices. Seeing this as a possibility, people either beat them to it and spiked up the prices or the situation actually did happen and people inflated the most common scrolls...namely all the GFA scrolls (it isn't just 60%s, 30%s and 70%s have skyrocketed as well).
Although it isn't fair for the people who don't buy meso and have no intention to, the fact that prices have gone up while meso:$$$ has gone down still sort of evens out the playing field in terms of how much meso a person would pay for an item or scroll(s).
The reason why GFA scrolls havent shot up in price in the MTS (or maybe they have I wasn't in there today so I am going off by what I saw yesterday) is because 25k NX is still $25...compare that to 600mil meso for $27 (an extra $2 for guaranteed meso whereas if you used the 25k nx on gachapon it'd be a serious gamble even with White Scrolls coming out of NLC like nothing).
With this in mind if you were to buy NX @ a 5:1 ratio (meso to NX) you would be paying 500mil for 100k nx which equivalates to $22 if you bought the 500mil from a meso site...that doesn't even cover one of the NX cards used...I am rather surprised the meso to NX ratio hasn't skyrocketed because of this either.
Either way, until the prices go back to where they were from the websites, people who don't buy are just going to be butt hurt and get stuck suffering.
I'm just patiently awaiting Cygnus...Dawn Warrior ftw <3
