“Theres nothing forcing you to buy catalysts if you don't want too so if they're tradeable it doesn't impact you, you can just grind them and ignore those sold.

However allowing them to be tradeable is beneficial to all players because all players can grind catalysts, all players can sell them and all can choose to buy or not because all players need them.

Being able to sell them gives players a steady income should they choose that doesn't rely on RNG.

They earn the marks and buy the catalysts they can then use that earned money to buy other things.

Making these items account bound only serves to push more players towards the marketplace at the expense of actually ruining the economy by stripping players of one of the remaining stable sources of income that doesn't rely on the likes of opening capsules and hoping to get lucky enough to sell something decent

The catalysts should 100% be made tradeable, unfortunately this decision smells of the devs just trying to slip a change in that pushes the artifact further towards a pay2win model, no one should be supporting it.”

“These statements are contradictory as anything that gets "flooded" in the broker is by economics cheapened. There are currently people selling catalyst cache's as the purple box, the blue rank boxes, and the individual catalysts. If all of them were forced to sell the same thing in the same way, they'd be forced to start undercutting each other.”

You missed my argument entirely... what I meant by (flooded) is over inflated. If there only goin to be 3 catalyst for breakthroughs then the market for those catalyst will sky rocket meaning only (whales) would be able to afford them. Forcing ppl to actually play the game to get better makes the game all around more enjoyable. It’s ridiculous for a player to play the game master mechanics grind to get better and let some piss wipe scrub come along with their moms credit card that buys EGpal cash and just buys what they need off the broker and have no clue wtf their doing. No if you wanna be better play the damn game. No one cares about makin money in the game except whales

That's not how inflation works. Rising prices comes from devalue'ing of money because the amount of money in the economy is flooded, not the produce being purchased.

You know that they will be putting the post change cats back in the MP, right? if the whales want to buy them with Mom's CC, they can buy cats there too. Having a flood of cats in the broker does not help the whales....it helps the little guy, either by allowing trading between users for non cash items, or allowing them to be purchased in the Broker...yeah, the whales can buy them all up, but the little guy now has OPTIONS outside of the MP or additional grind. Options are always better, you can choose not to exercise them. If the whales want to keep scooping them up (not sure why they would after this last weekend....we'll be done with Nth and cats for a while as the 160-200 grind starts now), fine....I'll make some quick cash as they keep buying them at 1.7 mil apiece.
