Chaos to alt ratio ripoff

I am still saying: As long as there is not way to exchange your alterations to choas orbs it is moot how much they want for them.

If it were possible to use the vendor and exchange your 2 fusings to 1 chaos then yes, trading 1 chaos for 20 alterations could maybe be considered a ripoff. But since it is not possible this trade is NOT a ripoff.

The only people whose thinking is bound by some arbitrary exchange site which claims that 2 fusings are worth 1 chaos, are the ones saying it is a ripoff.

The exchange rate of Fusings and Chaos orbs is moot. That is a fact.

Actually, yes, it does. In a barter system if both parties are happy its a good deal. If you regret it later, your just having buyers/sellers remorse. You learn from it, and next time ask for more on a similar trade. If both take it again, you are both happy.

You're telling me you have never traded something and made a profit?

Guess it's a crime to try and do a service to newer players and keep them from getting ripped off. This is a waste of my time, as is anything I ever try to do to help anyone. It's clear the only people seeing this thread are the ones doing the ripping off, so it's not accomplishing anything. I hope you all feel proud of yourselves for taking advantage of people.

So you're arguing that chaos is worth more than 2 fusing? If a lot of people agreed, then poeex would update. But try doing a 1:3 trade or even 1:2.5 trade in the trade chat and see how successful you are (and make sure the other person isn't a beginner).

Let's take an other aproach on the matter. The people who only want to pay 16 alteration for the 1 chaos are ripping the one with the chaos off. They claim that this is the set in stone rate and everything else is a ripoff and making the one with the chaos feel like a bad person (even though he is not) only because they get it cheaper that way.

You people are detestable.

There some incorrect statements in here which have been confusing people in other threads.
All "% increased" or "% reduced" modifiers to a particular value stack additively with each other, while "% more" and "% less" modifiers stack multiplicatively. "additional" adds directly to the value (most commonly used on things like resistances), and in general "removes" or "subtracts" is I think used as the inverse of that depending on context.
The only major exception to the above that I am aware of is that "% increased" modifiers to weapon damage which are on that weapon will stack additively with ohter modifiers of the same type (if you can get multiples on the same weapon, which I'm not sure is possible at the moment), but because they modify the base damage of the weapon, they technically stack multiplicatively with other, off-weapon increases, which work off the base damage of the weapon, including the modifications from the weapon's own stats. Let me know if you have any other questions and I will do my best to clear them up.
