That's not necessarily worse. If we triple the price of shouts, but there's only half as many shouts made, there's still more money leaving the economy than before the price was changed.
There's no reason for that. It's just an extra addition that we should already have. Increasing price would just discourage shouting, trust me if they were 3k each the amount of people actually doing shouts would be reduced to 1/10th the current amount.
if I recall correctly there was a pretty critical bug in 1.7.3 that could crash everyone online, and it had to do with bold text. I can only vaguely recall this, though. So don't quote me on this.
Where exactly did you get these numbers from? I could easily see 1/10 of shouts the current shouts being made if the price triples. Not to best way to take money out of the economy :/
Where exactly did you get yours from? Mine were purely examples of how higher costs could offset less use.
