How is it not the same. They are 100 times more expensive because vanilla <> classic so now that we will have Black Lotus for 30g like in vanilla why not edgemasters for 50g like in vanilla.
They could change levels from 49-52 to 45-55 and increase drop chance 10 times just like they did with Black Lotus.
Why not just remove weapon-skill entirely?
Its a ridiculous mechanic anyway, anti-quality of life.
Mate black lotus hoarding’s gone no matter how many salty sarcastic threads you make.
No, they’re not. Edgemaster’s are currently 4k on my server, they were 1.5k in Vanilla. That’s 2.5x the price, when gold is much easier to get now.
Black Lotus isn’t going to drop to 30g.
Because Edgemasters WEREN’T 50g in Vanilla, unless somebody who didn’t know what they were had them as a drop.
What are the odds that now, 15 years later, somebody is going to get them as a drop and not know what they are?
And FYI, I got my edgemasters for 400g.
Or they could just do nothing; which is exactly what is going to happen.
What next, gonna complain about the price of primals in TBC?
I really don’t think Edgemasters went for 1.5k in vanilla. It’s hard to find posts / comments from 2005 back in the day but all the ones I can find online mention buying them for 100 gold.
Also if you’ve bought them for 400g then good for you but that is not normal, that’s not the item’s value in Classic. 
They were 500g in classic for months and somehow they were 1500g in vanilla? Stop lying.
I bought them for 400g at the start of Classic, late September. They hovered around 450-680g for a while until Quel’serrar was released and warriors suddenly realised that they were needed; the price then went up to 1.5k and rose from there.
Depends on server economy. The people that mention buying them for 100g were people like me; people that got them cheaper than the going rate.
At the start of Vanilla? They probably went for like 10g. As late into Vanilla was we are now? 1k. Even later in Vanilla? Even higher.
no, they NEVER were anywhere near that price. Not even a 10th of that price. Edgemaster were seen as one of the worst BOEs to get in vanilla due to the vast majority of the community not knowing how the opaque mechanic of weapon skill worked and were dirt cheap or directly disenchanted/vendored throughout whole Vanilla.
I am sorry to say but I dont understand this whole thread. Do a sunken temple run once a day and you will end up getting them when you really want them… and if not after the 5000ths of time… by then you did loot the gold needed to buy them 
That will take more than 13 years, I don’t think they will be very useful by then!
use a time machine to last September
And you can buy Edgemaster for 50~80gold.
Yeah, and wait for swords to drop AND compete with the 7 rogues and the other 5 or 6 warriors in the raid. Oh, and also tanks in case of Maladath. Well, you really dont have to fight over maladath with tanks, because they will have absolute preference over you anyway.
In my guild, after 15 BWL clears only 1 Crul dropped, and 1CTS, no Viskags at all, for example.
Considering we are alliance, most warriors are now using deathbringers, CHT and perditions, because swords wont show up.
If you want to be competitive, you have to have EH in store because is just better than the alternative in case swords dont drop. Obviously all of the warriors in my guild, all of them humans, have EH.
Make rogue gear to drop when I raid on rogue and mage gear to drop when I raid on mage in BWL. It’s unacceptable.
Back to the OP, you’re either trolling or wishing you would.
could someone point out the difference between buffing lotus spawns and hypothetically buffing edgemater’s spawn?
i dont see how you can support one and not the other, edgemaster’s cost is quite clearly unreasonable and they’re a more important item than lotuses
I just posted the following in a thread where somebody asked the same of Arcane Crystals.
This applies here too. Edgemaster’s are an RNG drop, not a set spawn.
The reason they, along with many other things, go up in price isn’t “just” the knowledge about how they can be useful, but the fact that the population has more gold than ever - while we at the same time lack “gold dumps”. Same thing can be seen with potions and consumables… Inflation.
However, unlike Black Lotus which had the same fixed amount spawning on a bigger population + inflation, Edgies drop based on chance - which should atleast in Classic produce more of them as we not only are more people playing, but also have classes like Mages who farm dungeons 10-20 times faster solo now than groups did back in the days with the very aim to get the item.
If 1 pair drop every 100 mobs (example only ofc), then killing 200 should/could produce 2 pairs, 1000 should give us 10 pairs and so forth.
In Classic more mobs are killed than in Vanilla, so the problem sorts itself out.
Again, Lotus spawns didn’t increase with population, where edgemasters did.
Are they really a more important item than lotuses? There are plenty of alternatives. Dagger Fury is just as viable if you don’t want to shell out 5k.
@Izerael
If you want to be competitive…
… you can still play daggers.
@ Pilny
Loving the salt, keep 'it coming
Flagged topic starter as a big troll
your point being?
Lol you can’t farm edgemasters, they’re too rare.
So the argument against them dropping more is that some people are controlling the market to make unbelievable amounts of money? Kinda like lotuses?
