Just checked out some other weapon rivens and the prices are as ridiculous
Cant believe that I say this but Riven Market has more "reasonable" prices for stronger Rubico Rivens than Warframe Maket Auctions
People can bid and ask for how much they want but ultimately the bidder can renege without consequence, what happens then? The bidder before is traditionally asked if they want to take the item for the LAST bid they placed (unless there's some kind of escrow, but that would be a violation of Warframe's account TOS). The top bid is pointless as they aren't actually bids, anyone can inflate a listing above a certain point that either it's bought for a ridiculous price or relisted for another time period
What you end up is a few people wanting to get rich off a riven, spend time trying to do so, and inflate the bids trying to get more out of people that are actually trying to bid. Then you have other people that spend time trying to sell to the highest bidder only to find that someone was placing false bids and doesn't actually want it.
I'll just stick to looking around for people as I try to buy/sell for prices I want. If I want to sell one of my Rubico rivens I'll do it for around 1500 or 900.
I'm not going to waste spending weeks trying to "get rich" off of people that give outrageous bids that don't actually buy it or prey on some sucker to give me 20,000 for it.
DE has been doing very incremental adjustments, and none of the recent riven changes have ever lowered or increased a weapon's disposition by an entire dot. I believe they went on record saying that this was how they were going to continue doing it, at least for the mean time. DE is almost certainly well aware of the riven market and is likely avoiding messing with it too much to so that there isn't any massive backlash.
Those are just prices these people are selling their rivens for, doesn't mean anyone will actually ever buy them at that price.
Each decision is made by the player that owns the account, if it's not your account, it's not your responsibility.
Players understand that you're trying to help, wasting so much plat on a mod when it could be used on other things, but again that's a decision players have to make, yes there are cases where resource management is poor, leading to complaints on the forum, but there is nothing you and i can do or should do.
Let players have their fun.
30k is a troll offer that makes no sense in real life.
Let's say you are farming Tridolons and you need that riven to jump from doing 4x3 to 5x3.
That is +25% drop rate increase, you are getting 5 draws on each night.
With a drop rate of arcanes think you need about 300-ish Hydrolist captures to get all of them at R3, you may get lucky for less but let's call that an average.
In case of 4x3 you will need 75 nights to do it.
In case of 5x3 you need 60 nights to do 300 Hydro caps.
So for those extra 15 nights you have 75 more draws to get an arcane.
Chances are you will get about 4-5 arcane energize or grace in total (those are the most expensive ones), few guardians, avengers, velocity's and all that and relative value you get from it can be high depending on your luck, we can call it 500-1000 plat per those 15 nights.
To play those 15 nights, at rate of doing 1 or 2 per day you gotta do 1 or 2 weeks.
So is it worth investing 30k to maybe return the investment after ~600 hours of just capturing Hydrolists?
No one is stupid enough to buy that, especially if more "realistic" price of 2k plat per riven that is within 2% of damage output requires about 40 nights to start being profitable which for tryhards may even be couple of days if they play 8 hours a day.
So what I think of these prices is that some people just have too much ego and are so deep into being a meta slave that they stroke their sword while thinking of that.
Your average player cannot sustain economy of playing 2 hours per day and paying so much for a riven, while player who plays 8 hours per day can and they inflate prices by stroking their ego..
I've sold some god rivens for meta weapons, those prices of 2k+ don't work, best I realistically did is ~1800 for Scoliac with range and crit chance on slide.
Most expensive I bought is Euphona Riven for 1600, reason I did not argue the price is because it is CC+MS+Elect-status duration and each number is within 1% of being a maximum roll for 3-1 Euphona Prime riven. Easy Radiation with primed Heated Charge, it is pretty much as good as it gets for building that weapon and it is my favorite weapon in this game. You may argue I could have talked it down but those max rolls on stats are actually worth A LOT for any weapon as it is hard enough to nail perfect stats, nailing maximum buff on each stat too is unicorn level and likely happened less than 5 times for each weapon in this game since rivens were introduced. Riven stats having like 40k combinations and stat variations being +-25-ish% or whatever it is, it's nuts.
Those are where I draw the line and I actually fully justify spiking up the price. Not to 30k, but depending on a weapon we can talk up to 4-5k actually being quite realistic.
It is a diminishing return compared to buying same roll with lower values, but it is a unicorn level of rarity.
I know I'd pay a lot for a perfect Supra riven, rolled like 150 rolls on multiple rivens and no luck.
