Not only do resolutions cost gold up front, effectively driving up to several thousand (or like hundred thousand) gold when you take on a bunch for something you may or may not ever complete, but there's no feasible way someone can honestly say, "Yes, you having to do like 50 rounds of Moghedu (pretty sure that's low-balling it btw) is totally equal to me going out and killing 10 people." I wouldn't have cared too much about the shrine bit, had shrines not been changed to where only people in orders could initiate the defiling, and anyone could still do it... but that's not the case. Then, not having any be retroactive already shot a bunch of us in the foot who have our marques, have dragon, etc. These were the non-com things that had higher values (well, dragon anyway, not the marque), and we can't get them. Bummer...
But then, to learn that the items auctioned aren't even permanent really killed my drive to give two shits about doing them any more. I mean, why would I waste my time on a bunch of races and areas that don't even give dragon talisman pieces let alone decent xp since they're bashed out so frequently? As it is I'm still slogging through areas attempting to get the ever elusive blue scale and gold teeth because they're more rare than a snipe, and I don't feel like spending 320 credits to get a level 7 gold tooth or blue scale completed, or 640 to complete both, despite the fact that like most people, they're the only two pieces I have left while I continue to get duplicates of all the other ones.
So I, for one, appreciate the people who attempted to keep the prices low for those of us who don't play solely for PK, but who appreciate Achaea as a roleplay environment as well, so that if there DID happen to be something that struck our fancy, it wouldn't be so outrageously high it'd literally take all year just to afford it.

Not in a financial position to pay for them either, so oh well. Not really blaming anyone, just zzz.

I stopped bothering with hiring, because it wasn't getting me anywhere. Oh, I faced my mark like a man. The first time. The second time I waited that shit out, because it was an illegal contract(hey, this was back in the day of cause lawyering).
Outside of that... telling people to put some clothes on at Centre Crossing. But that's not really petty... but some people consider it petty. +shrug+
When Canada rules the world,
things will be... nii~ice.
This is a game, or supposed to be, about myriad ways to shine, advance, and profit. Glad he found yet another one!

I have had a couple folks be petty at me. But... that's people, and this is a game. Maybe that's what makes it fun for them. I know I am having a mega blast, and would never have been in this position to do so but for their original pettiness.

By your logic, if we had the option of everyone obtaining +5 strength if the city leaders agreed on it, we'd be "illogical" for not agreeing. I'd love to hear your whining when Jhui then BBTs you for 90% of your health. Enemies getting stronger in exchange for allies also getting stronger is not necessarily logical at all. It depends on a lot of factors.
However.. I wouldn't rush him with your pitchforks just yet just because he was able to inflate their initial prices. Prices could change based on the demand for the item. If most everyone believes them too expensive, they won't buy them. And developer time was spent to make these additions; they'll want to see us get good use them, too. So prices may change to accommodate us. Or, more likely, resolution rewards will change to make them more accessible. (Hopefully)
Edited to also say Mycen ASKED if they could be gifted before bidding. Do I have wings? No, not before these nor to mention they will decay. She knew I wanted them so she bid for a gift. I honestly hope you feel a little bit of shame for trying to call her petty when she was trying to be nice.
I don't see how it's any different to what Krypton did. If you think he was petty, then Mycen (and whoever else bid) was also petty. If you don't think Mycen was petty, you can't think he was petty. The fact that Mycen intended to give them away isn't relevant at all.
Also, "you should have bid higher" is a ridiculous response to a complaint that the price that was set was too high.

It's not hard... the idea proposed (which again, was not by myself) was pretty straight-forward. "Keep it cheap so we can buy it cheap". It's a game....the idea of enjoyment seems to escape several in Achaea from over-commitment. When you start thinking on these lines of "Deny them all, including ourselves, rather than letting this new advantage be taken easily" is the basis of your actions...then something has clearly gone wrong here...
You definition can literally be stated as "It is better we all have nothing, rather than all of us getting something new". Very Nihilistic of you. :P
Everyone will have access to the same items in a few days. I dont really have an opinion on the wings price but it seems neither of the bidders were willing to wait the 1-2 weeks for the item to be released to gift them to someone and instead drove up the price for everyone else who may want them.
And if the want to buy the wings again as a gift for said person once the first decay... theyve kinda fucked themselves as well.

Better hold up your end on that Krypton deal
As for this:
Should I go out and kill 500 sea monsters for them, or hunt 25000 undead, all for something that decays in a month anyways? You're an artifacted serpent, you have an easier time getting these things then nearly the entire rest of the population of the game.
She denies duels and doesn't afraid of anything.
She just dusted shrines/got lucky with kills methinks. Or, she just pulled a Krypton and bribed folks to gamble for her to get numerous tons of sweet mementoes.
