500k to reink normal.
100k to reink lesser.
Keep the undo button.
The current system is silly. I'm not going to bother ranting further, as just writing the post shows my stance on this. I'm sure others will support this. And better yet, I'm sure none like the new system. Feel free to speak up though if you just ADORE having to find a new tattoo to test a new strategy.
I like this idea, 500k is a bit steep though =X
I hate it that the convenience was removed, but Jon introduced a limitation on the number of times someone could reink. I don't think he's going to go back on that.
I think 400k would be a more sensible number, with a simple limit on how often a person can reink. Simple has limits, and makes testing easier.
i do not like the current system either. if it is going to stay around, please allow tats in rentals again to make testing and test-driving possible again.

Let me remind everyone, the OLD price was 400k per reink, 80k per less reink. And there was no undo button.
Please, don't complain about the price which is now far cheaper (because you don't have to pay an additional cost to reink back) then it was before. I'd rather pay even more money to be able to do it when necessary, not whenever the tattoo I need happens to be up. Not to mention the fact that these are the only items that can be deleted BY PLAYERS. There really won't be many left soon :P
is there a possibility that Jon is intentionally trying to make certain items scarce? Like tattoos?
Way back when he made all USD items able to be bought he said something about making items more Rare....
did he not throw a bunch of tats in auctions right after the tat artist change?
well, unless he keeps doing that regularly we will hit a scarcity problem in a few months.
I mean, it would be kind of unfair to introduce a system where one needs tattoos to reink where the economy contains no base tattoos.
if scarcity was the goal, throwing more into the system would be counter-productive, initially or otherwise i would think.
reinking is optional, there is always the black market for tattoos. If tats are so scarce now that it goes for 1m a pop, how often would you reink?
trying to buy a new tattoo will run you for 500k now.

I do miss the old system, from an experimenting with strats point of view.
However, despite my views on whether or not something is overpowered or not, the current system stops everybody jumping on a bandwagon. Like when everybody went ROBF/evasion. Lot more difficult to do that now. Like it or not, the current system is forcing me to stick with a strat, rather than just switching to the next big thing.
But that aside, I'd rather pay cash for a reink than have to scour the forum and auctions for a spare tattoo.
Meanwhile the new system only serves to highlight further the age old problem of people hoarding items....
