Since they're the only way to get shadow pills, their value has increased... though the original values were a bit steep. I'm against a price drop, unless the original key owners are refunded the difference somehow (perhaps a collector to exchange an old (and no longer functional) key for a new one and the info difference.

Oh I don't know. Maintaining a high price is self defeating, yeah there are rare items that can be got from the hallways (Shadow Pills) but you still require 2 or more to get them. To get more use from them I would suggest a small price drop. Over time if demand for an object drops because it is just prohibitively expensive then the price should drop to a point where interest sparks up again. I suggest about an 80mil price.

Also as price invariably decrease, people don't go back to shops saying that a product they bought a while back is cheaper now, 'can I get the difference back...' It is why some people wait for stuff (I.e. me and the PS3) to drop in price before getting it.

I don't wanna take anything away from the halls, there still must be some effort required in attaining it, but due to other items taking the focus of peoples savings away from the highest price items many people just won't bother with it.

I can see though that players with the key already might not agree with the principle, and almost definitely not the drop in price... I would guess that the general response would be 'If you want the key, save your $info and don't spend it on anything else...'

but tbh, I can't see the prices for the keys dropping anyway...

100 mil is not hard to get, seriously... can be done in a couple of days. If you get a team than it's even quicker.

I've been making an insane amount of money data mining lately: I can easily pull in 3 million in a couple of hours, especially if I'm on a team and we keep hitting good spawns.

I'm sure Bayamos was talking about farming loot drops like Commando gear, data mining drops, etc. and then selling them for good Info.

I think the price is fine. The hallways are still something special, right?

How to get 100 mill in a couple days...

Well this can be done a few good ways, look at the MP.. currently there is a large demand for clothing subs, yet none are there..

I put my commando gear for sale with a 10 mill price tag per item, its all gone..

I keep about 500 mill worth of clothes from drops on there at market suggested price...

QS gloves are still popular and easy to farm..

The ever boring grinding out of mishes nets a few million an hour..

Insecticide is still sought after, i see noone really selling that either..

Red Danas from Morell, these sale like hot cakes for a fair price.. the clothing u get while u farm them.. put on mp...

Uriah can still be farmed, a bit slower but it can be done, at a rate of 3 to 5 mill an hour depending on build and rolls.

Those are a few really legit ways.

If anything I would argue 100 mill is too cheap to gain access to the hallways. Don't mean to be a spoil sport but it's what i think.

You can do that yep but it's just as easy to do assasination with pick locks, Hacker and your other main missioning tree and only do the objectives, if the objectives say Hack a computer, Hack the computer don't fight the 3 guys in the room because that takes time, it halves the time it takes to mission.

Farming the headless may be slower for a direct pay off, but they drop some nice high-level gear that can be sold for around 1 mil a piece. takes a bit longer, but it's nice to jack in with an extra 10 mil in your bank account =)

also the commandos work well, too. plus if you're not after a personal set you can sell the extra's for major profit.

Don't agree with the price drop. Mainly cos it took ages to get it.

#36300340753 10/21/2007 14:55:49 Re:hallway key price drop?

It took four of us three days to get the $100 million for the key. It's not really a big deal.
