How has the auction system affected kms?

I am very curious to how the auction system will affect our economy and merching. Does anyone know what happened in kms?

So it didn't affect the kms economy at all?

[quote=aarrreh]AWESOME! 50m RA would be so cool! i hold true to the idea that an items worth should be in the scrolling and enhancements not the clean item. a 2b RA should be RED scrolled perfect not clean.[/quote]

I hate to break it to you, but the fact that their RA gear is 50m has NOTHING to do with the auction house. It costed 50m BEFORE they got the auction house. No, the reason why they're SO Cheap is a NUMBER of factors
1. Duping has NOT obliterated and/or mega inflated KMS's economy like it has GMS,
2. KMS's Additional options has made ANY clean gear, INCLUDING RA, worthless, because even an RA hat with no options couldn't HOPE to keep up with a level 100 one with GREAT options, even if perfect chaosed, and having great options, while RANDOM, is FREE, unlike potential. This makes the demand MUCH lower

3. Options also increased the drop rate of gear and made it so boss drops are instanced. While in GMS, one RA gear for a RANDOM class, might drop for the ENTIRE raid to fight over every 5 runs, in KMS, EACH person will get their OWN piece, PROBABLY for their OWN class, more than half the time, plus, there are a LOT more people with enough funds to CRA in KMS. this means that the supply is MUCH higher in KMS

In other words, this auction house will NOT do much.
In fact, Maplestory's version of the Auction House is EXTREMELY limited in uses.
They put daily limits on the amount of things you can put up for sale (3 iirc), the amount of bids/purchases you can make (5 iirc), EVEN the number of searches you can do (only 10 item searches per DAY)

Isn't it very limited? I don't think it's going to affect us by that much.
