Well for today's standards, that's true. Pre-potential standards, all you had to do was be able to survive HT's attacks regardless of your damage. Of course since Nexon is releasing very time limited bosses that require a high amount of DPM, it switched around entirely.

Back when we were doing early PB runs, we'd sell the mw30's for 500+ and to runners, after 3+ runs, for 200 flat. That's 60% off. Retail? Not at all. Back during czak's, we'd sell the helms for what, 300+? Idr the prices that well but to runners there'd be an easy 50% discount if you ran a couple times.
I haven't seen you on those runs so maybe that's where the confusion is but the more recent runs have always given discounts to the runners. But it's important to set up the market. When we have a monopoly on the items, it's straight up foolish to not milk that initially and get the market going and THEN after the squad is getting confirmed and the runners are learning the ropes, THEN we sell to runners. But exploring the in's and out's of a new, exceptionally difficult boss is not cheap, lots of apples and wheels are wasted in that pursuit, and recovering some of those losses is certainly a priority.
The last HT run I was on with Marty was a 5man HT run, MW30 dropped and Nessarz? bought MW30 for full retail price, which was 900mil at the time, so this clearly changed very recently or something, but I'm going based on the last "group" HT run I was a part of, in where MW30 dropped.
