Post dementium
I guess I'll be the one to say it: what's up with the dem market? I was a bit surprised when dem didn't get much past 650mil at the end of last uni, but it has completely tanked in recent times. Yesterday, I was blown away by sellers taking as low as 350mil, and my shop just bought 7 for an astonishing 200mil per. I think it's safe to say that something odd is going on, a huge increase in supply perhaps. Thoughts?

It's true that the price always dips in the middle of the uni, but dem has never sold for this low in the past year at least. Two unis ago there were players buying dem for 550mil per throughout, and 450mil+ was standard even halfway through. From doing a few MF Reaver dg's, I'm wondering whether the dem frag drop rate was increased substantially.

Nope, always goes this low and lower.

After grinding DGs recently I have collected quite a few dem and lots of frags. I've gotten so many Frags I can actually trade them 2:1 for dem. I think the Dem/Frags drop rate needs to be nerfed dramatically.

be careful, they'll nerf it so that dem becomes more difficult to obtain than calypso's presence

dementium is also down because there are less new players who have to buy it to build their shitz because they can't DG for it.

I remember when MF bots were 500mil, wtf happened to those days?

I remember when it was 2 bil for a couple uni's and even 4 bil at one point when trade chat became a war between two or three people looking for them.

Everyone says "this always happens" but Dem has never been that cheap. I cba to repeat what I've said dozens of times throughout the years of my playing.

MF Reavers are easy AI to kill.
MF Reavers drop lots of Dem and Frags.

There are lots of MF Reaver DG's this uni.

What else would happen to the dem market?

dem was at it highest when adamantium was . Atm is so low cos this is good uni for lvling wich means lower demand . I dont thing drop rates should be tempered based on curent events in DM economy every time something changes

I'd rather it not be nerfed.

From my meager experience with MF Reaver DG's, and killing ~1000 of the buggers, I've got 1 Demfrag. That's ~0.1% droprate for me... is there any reason why?

Even with DG's, my friends who do the same DF400 as I did get ~1-2 demfrags. I get none.

Don't nerf it, the market will equalize itself.
