Why do you want people to try to get the same items again? That just sounds repetitive.
How to break the trade economy
Part1: Merchants/Smugglers
Part2: fucking re-enchantment

Hold right up, how in the hell did merchants and smugglers break the economy?
They’re just as RNG dictated as chests if not more so and you have to throw money at them to get anything worthwhile.
Plus they’re the only way for negative reps to actually get stuff without relying on positive rep players to trade with them.
remember the time when strong/hard dull power amulets were literally 500 crowns in value back then in trade? yea merchants literally ruined everything by selling 10 of them thus almost guaranteeing you a free set of strong/hard
They’re common items.
They shouldn’t be worth an arm and a leg.
Making the economy make sense is not breaking it, it was broken before.
they were rare before fishing update
before sunken strong and hard power dulls were one of the rarest if not the rarest alongside strong/hard defense dulls
Merchants don’t sell sunken swords and if they ever do, they sure as hell won’t be selling multiple at a time.
Why? because its rare and something players should actually have to grind for.
Basic gear such as dull power amulets are not rare and should be easily obtainable.
You do realize that those items were the “common” rarity so there is no way that they would stay as rare items forever. In the grand scale of things, when there are legendary items in the game, dull defense amulets aren’t gonna be things people consider rare. So no point in complaining about it since this is something Vetex always planned on happening (common items being common).
I mean they were rare because we were a much lower level and needed to be max to have a chance to even get them.
Didn’t follow the conversation at all, just wanted to point that out.
Also I guess fishmongers did help since people sold all their belongings there for baits.
Why would anyone pay a massive amount of crowns for a perfectly enchanted item, when they just need the item since reenchanging is pretty cheap? 
People who believe re-enchanting should be added in the game really do not know how the economy and market of wom works smh
re enchanting would still cost over 1k crowns… [ for rare items ] statistically you could end up spending well over 5k crowns trying to get the enchantment you want.
So in some cases just buying the item with the enchantment that you want may end up being cheaper.
Then re-enchanting would just add more grinding to the game which we really do not need
and if necessary re enchanting could cost 10% more crowns each time you re enchant it until you reach the current crown cap.
There are plenty on ways that re enchanting could be added that would still be balanced.
economy of a game, especially mmo rpg game like WoM, should be dictated by the player, not the developer. what developer should do is developing the game to be fun and interesting to the player and not dictating how the economy works. if the economy changes because of reenchanting then so be it.
Not really… All it would do is make it so that when trying to get a particular enchantment you no longer have to get the same item again.
So it would actually cut off several dozen if not more hours of that grind.
[ you could trade for it but that process is a pain and trading shouldn’t be a requirement, just a slightly easier way of getting what you want. ]
Yes really.
Thing is the market & economy of wom is fairly large and important, an example of this is the auction house.
well my point still stand. player is the one that should dictate how the economy works. vetex are already trying to control the economy by limiting how much crown you can hold. the result is crown aint worth a damn thing at all because its useless. because of this player would only trade item with item where it doesnt get controlled by vetex.
Actually, that is a good point. If everyone can easily get the enchant they want on some rare item, then why would anyone use the auction house, unless they have a spare? People are going to want to bid on the gear with optimal performance, not just some hard wizard robes.
