Talk:Ultra Rare Price Guide (Old)/@comment-158.132.204.78-20120914092938/@comment-5428123-20120921083246

As I stressed before, I never claimed the prices here were meant to be particularly objective. They were meant to be a loose guideline for players attempting to make trades.

In respone to your question, the prices here were not updated by only me, but by many other users as well. The edit history reflects as much. As for number of transactions, I can only say that for the ones I updated, I used prices commonly accepted by many users in the game. In a sense, this list is a product of agreement. Of course, only a handful of users actually seem to be updating this page so obviously it isn't particularly representative of the whole in-game community.

As for your idea of having general agreement and open discussion decide prices, that is essentially what the goal of this page is. The difference I suppose, is that the prices here tend to reflect current market trends more heavily than what you seem to be suggesting.

I personally would love to have more discussion of prices by the community at large, even though I don't think there can ever be a truly objective way of determing prices for cards. At this time however, the wiki is much too sparsely populated to be able to generate enough discussion to create representative prices. Perhaps in the future, when more users come on to the wiki, then we can have live discussions involving the whole community. Even then, I still think it would be more practical to have the price guides reflect general price trends rather than have fixed static values for an indefinite period of time.
