Legendary weapons and their prices.

[haunta 10]

Who controls the prices of Legendary weapons and will the prices ever change and if they do - why do they change?

 

How do we know how many there are and how many have entered the game. Does anyone at LO monitor the in-game economy? 

Have they even thought about it? Is it even worth worrying about at this point in time?

The market controls them.

 

It is a mixture of supply/demand that is derived from things such as sales, events, how good a weapon is, current meta, etc.

 

An example is when the numerous accounts were unbanned, prices dropped due to the influx of weapons.

Makes sense although what about some people hoarding them? Will someone eventually be able or even allowed to control the prices?

The players already indirectly control the prices.

hoarding doesnt work when joker boxes are free to purchase at any time, perhaps if loot boxes are outlawed everywhere and orbit didnt release legendaries any other way this would be a problem

 

the only way to directly control the prices currently would be if you were already hoarding and decided to dump your entire stock for below the market price - this would only have a temporary effect, but most likely none at all since you have a finite supply
