Kizhaz Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Tbh shard hunting is too easy, we need a way to make it more tedious and boring. I don't think lowering the shard rate will do so how about we implement scuba gear. We can have an oxygen meter for how long you can dive for and if it runs out you have to buy a new O2 tank.

This and lower the rates, also lets throw some more trash items on the pokes. Everyone loves x defends. Arimanius 1 Link to comment
londark Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 SURE IT'S FUN GRINDING FOR GREEN SHARDS RITE GUYZ!?!? This is total bullshit, waisting more than 2 hours, and only got enough to get 1 move i need, meanwhile i could have wasted time grinding money to buy stuff. GRINDING FOR ITEMS IS NOT WORTH IT, FIX THIS BULLSHIT FAST Vaeldras, TheGloriousWalrus, ShadowGary and 3 others 6 Link to comment

GRINDING FOR ITEMS IS NOT WORTH IT, FIX THIS BULLSHIT FAST Exactly my point global trade hub will make trading faster and efficient but still no one find shards to sell that much, u grind 1-2 hours and u get only what u need, there's no way to make money efficiently this way, this is so wrong ShadowGary and Laz 2 Link to comment

OldKeith Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 This game has become a grinding machine with no reward at all. Trade hub does not fix these problems at all. NikhilR, Tritios, Bilburt and 2 others 5 Link to comment
NikhilR Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) I am hoping that the silence so far means that with the "mid December" update, they are going to increase the shard rate. Else it's best all together to stop grinding for shards and instead grind for $$$ since that is more profitable. If I'm right, the trade hub solely exists for trading the items, but will there be any items to trade if no one is willing to grind for it?

Yeah I think I will probably do that, let's see if someone is willing to waste their time like that, I'm done with shards grinding, they ask for statistics for what? to laugh at us Edited December 16, 2015 by Arimanius ShadowGary 1 Link to comment
Bilburt Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 As i see it: trade hub would only lower the prices for shard (more shards will be sold) Just increase rates... just do it Link to comment
IndigoGlacier Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 As i see it: trade hub would only lower the prices for shard (more shards will be sold) Just increase rates... just do it might just be the majority though. it might go on majority priced like 35k-45k. hopefully you can see the ranges enough to know it's a ripoff. but yeah rates need to increase Link to comment

With a trade hub all these shards will be available all the time And then its the one with the lowest price or best deal that sells Edit: provided that is how the hub will work Edited December 16, 2015 by Bilburt Link to comment

Perry Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 And why is that? The way this trade feature is done doesn't really promote the lower of prices. That's just it, you will see when it comes out. Link to comment
Darkshade Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The way this trade feature is done doesn't really promote the lower of prices. That's just it, you will see when it comes out. Well no... it is designed to allow for quick and easy access to trading - including the ability to sell. This means that due to the availability of shards, they may see a decline in price.

Rendiz Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I can imagine blue shards going down in price even further. Anyone who has ever shard hunted is probably sitting on a million of them that they can't sell. Link to comment
codylramey Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Its supply and demand ppl. The supply is up the prices drop, the demand is up the prices raise. Although there is another variable in pokemmo that supply and demand doesnt account for. That is the neccisity to compete, and the ability to easily advertise. Bc when selling things people only really need to compete with other online selling the same thing they have a semi monopoly. If someone wants that shard bad enough they may pay that extra 5-10k because you are the only one online at the time selling. But with trade hub comes an added neccisity to compete so in theory the prices on everything should drop. But selling things on this game is a grind in itself. So its possible that some commodities are going for cheap just so the seller can get rid of it fast and not need to spam trade chat anymore. With the tradehub you can just set the item in and forget about it for a while. If supply is low enough then someone will eventually buy it for an extra 5k and more will raise their prices could start to creep up. Link to comment

Rendom Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Time to dig up this thread, I noticed that the GTL didn't fix the shard problems at all. The exact opposite happened, actually. Even though prices for blue and green shards remained the same, prices for yellow shards have risen, they used to be 20-25k, and now they are 35k+ as you can see on this screenshot: YettoDie 1 Link to comment

People have simply stopper hunting for it because they got so many from the event. Mye guess is that prices will go back to normal when GTL is empty and people have to hunt for them again.

Eggplant Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Increased prevalence of certain items (primarily move tutors' requirements.) From 25/3/16 changelog. Probably covers shards. Link to comment
