Wait wait wait. Okay, I’m very confused.

So how does the worth system even work? I mean, to measure if something went down, you would need to have a poll, right? To ask a ton of people on their opinion. So, props to those people who actually ask the community as a whole, not just what they think.

Okay, another thing. I get how the worth system is measured. Time out of stores, amount in the AJPW population as a whole, and looks are all important, correct? But to measure if something is fair for another thing, you would have to compare the amount of time they spent out of stores and their overall rarity. For example, to measure if dual samurai swords are fair for, say, jamaaliday wings, then you would have to examine the factors of each for a conclusive argument that one is fair for the other.

Some items have colors that are higher than other colors. Why? Perhaps one looks better than another; however, three popular pages commonly browsed by the AJPW community are Archer Hat, Dual Samurai Swords, and Rare Furry Arm Cuffs. In the case of the Rare Furry, it is true that some colors look better than others. However, as many of you might have heard, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Hence, as with Archer Hat and Dual, pretty much all of the colors look pleasing to the eye. With color schemes in AJPW, every item has a default color, which is usually the lowest. However, many items’ default colors are not lowest. Therefore, it is nearly impossible to predict which color of any specific item will be lowest or highest.

I have a question for you. If you took a random sample of items that were released around the same time, have about average liking, and are reasonably rare in the AJPW community, one could predict that they will be worth about the same. However, this is utterly wrong. Results are completely questionable, as they are extremely confusing and make absolutely no sense. These items are nearly the same, and yet their worths are all over the scoreboard.

If you read this to the bottom, please realize that I mean no one any harm, and am not trying to damage anyone’s personal beliefs. Simply let it be known that I am utterly confused with how the worth system works.
