Many component prices have increased past their price cap in the market resulting in many components being only available for gems. I think their cap should be increased to 20x base from 10x base or simply removed entirely, this would create a more organic market for components and remove bottlenecks for players

It's a complicated topic, because that would destroy the gem market for those who sell in gems to pay for expansions, point talents, etc.
It must be taken into account that gems are essential for the growth of new users, someone who has +1 year playing is not the same as someone who only has a few months.

The only reason for the price to go above 10x gold price is because people stop sending their heroes & champions for those quest
If people dont want to buy those components with gem, they can request it on market OR quest them 👍
Remove / Increase Gold Cap might collapse the market especially on Gems

Wasn't an issue 2 years ago...
There are plenty of other ways to make gems.
(F2P)
I don't think components should be one of them TBH, let the newer players make better gold income imo.
Another reason this is an issue is from the lack of market slots, if you do request at max value they will fill eventually, but sometimes taking up to 6 hours+ depending on the component. Thread of fate took that long for me yesterday. 😛 More market slots! 😄

Imo people shouldn’t need to spend 10m+ gold worth of gems for a 200k component, I also doubt many people are buying these components for gems anyway. Increasing the gold cap on these components would revitalize the market for them if anything
tame inlet
Instead of increasing the gold cap on anything why not just increase the base price of them that way we’re not getting into “well if those have an increased cap why not also this or that” territory
red vortex
That would work too

As someone in Korea (Can't buy and trade in marketplace with gems), I'm pretty much screwed over with gem markets (f2p)

I see it not that the price is over the 10x price, just that someone is willing to pay in gems and there's currently none available for gold. It's just greed that someone posted it for gems.
I regularly sell my excess components on the market to try to offset this.

No cap sounds fun until you accidentally buy a T3 component for 250mil because of an unexpected price jump while buying in bulk.

Then there's me who lets all the components in the pic except one from volcano just overflow because laziness is a thing.

Ya that’s a good point let’s go with higher cap or higher base value

What about just increasing the Total ammount you can request? for example only use one item slot for 200 component items instead of 1 for 75 or 100 (depending on if you have the perk or not)
crimson cosmos
I think increase drop amount of component around 20-50% more should be the way...
hasty flint
If you have the extra comp perk (first one you find in questing tree) with sia and a booster you can get 100-200 comps in one run so shouldnt be too buffed IMO

It’s mostly mid-tier components that are in a bad place currently, being able to request more components in one slot would help somewhat but the bottleneck is the supply and if players were allowed to get more gold for their components then they’d sell them more readily
proud rampart
The price would need to become atleast 5-10M for people to not sell it for gems which wont save the problem you think there is. Right now you can still request them and get them within 24 hour which is fine
red vortex
The highest tier components in the game (except lcog) are at about 1.2m each so these would definitely be selling for less than that, the issue right now is their current price cap is far too low. Needing to wait 24 hours to request components isn’t ideal, this would let sellers get more for their components and for buyers to get them sooner
steel tinsel
You don't "need to wait 24 hours" it's you put in a request and it will be filled within 24 hours.

Yea but they are now getting 1 gem for it which is worth 5-10M depending on the gem/gold ratio you use or your tactic has. It is going for 1 gem now because nobody is doing the dungeon since it is not needed for T13. It is just basic supply and demand. The supply won't change unless you make it really worthwhile to run those low level dungeon.
What also might happen if you raise the gold cap or component prices is that people will just up the gem price since it is the same supply.
red vortex
Idt anyone is actually spending 2 gems on a 300k component (if they are that’s also a problem), right now there’s just this dead zone where the max you can list certain components for is 300k or 10-20m worth of gems like you said. If their base value were slightly increased then people would run those dungeons more and be able to list them for a more appropriate value

Disagree, I have like 1k+ mushrooms but I don't want to be bothered selling them for 1.2k each, and I'm not selling them for gems. As they will probably just sit there & take up a market slot & never sell. I get the lower tier components all the time from keys from bosses, Seeing as that's what you get the majority of the time from chest unlocks.
I just let these stack
I had 1k Mushrooms idk probably craft something, but ye.
Again as I previously mentioned we do need more market slots, it would help, but I don't think it resolve the problem. If people are making gems off components good for them, but it's a terrible design for coponents specifically.
I can honestly make anywhere from 10-50 gems for 80kgold.. Lot of ways to make gems, and not from components.

I mean, there's 0 reason to go list these few at a time, questing time in early dungeons is pretty fast anyway and it's a lot of time wasted to list them for anyone who's in late game.
and for mid tier ones, well, that's a different story, for instance I let those stay capped since listing them is slow and I might need them for certain bps and I bet most other people in late game like me only get them from boss runs and keys/chests so going down on your stock isn't really worth it
what I'm saying is that for a percentage of player base in late game it's not about the price tag of the components, it's about the fact that they have low/slow income of those and they might not want to sell them since there's a chance that they will need them in the future and buying them again or questing for them in the future is just inefficient if you could be doing harder dungeons instead.
and even if prices would be increased, there's a really high chance it wouldn't affect supply, it would just make requesting the components more expensive which could easily lead to a scenario of buying components for multiple times more than the item you're crafting with them is worth (it's already bad right now and it would probably just get way worse if you rely on buying components and not questing for them)
IMHO, a way to increase supply would probably be more beneficial for the game than inflating the prices.

increasing supply would also be helpful

Convince your friends to play Shop Titans so they can quest and then flood the market.

Why not just fusing for the comps?

You need chests to fuse, which means running the lower tier dungeons...and owning Mundra.
