There was a time that I wanted to take Valk to at least 5 star, but then, along came Narses and kicked her out of my PVP squad entirely. I took her to 3 star before she got sidelined:
Another counter point to your conspiracy theory is that we all naturally are going to see higher souls in the market over time. This will continue to contribute to the recency bias.
Probably should have, but I only use in Fw so doesn't really help. If i don't plan on buying to 4 I won't use the silver on 1 or 2s...
If you are that stingy with silver essence, how much are you sitting on?
Not sure why your threshold is buying to 4*. CD is only good for Damage Dealers. 3* is what you need for 75% of toons to have a huge impact on stats, and it also improves most blessings enough to matter. Of course, 5* is even better, but a lot more resource intensive.
evidence, you say?
Fully aware that I could sound like a conspiracy nut, but as I said above, the algorithm for soul merchant drops has never been posted anywhere in the game or exposed by a data-miner to my knowledge.
If I was Plarium, I would change it based on in-game events, but of copurse, I have no way to know if they do.
