"For cheaper". 19,999999 million is cheaper than 20 million, sure, that's cheaper. Doesn't mean that it's affordable. It's not been 12 hours yet, no, but does that excuse impossible prices? MagicHats explained precisely what I think on this matter. There's enough problems in Flight Rising interface already, and Nocturnes being sold with prices impossible to reach only urges people to go to the Coliseum more and more. Hence the downtime.

Impossible prices are impossible, though. If no one can afford them, they won't be bought, and when the coli is fixed, there'll be more listed at more reasonable prices and/or the existing listings will expire. My point in some being listed for cheaper is that when there's a supply again, they'll continue to be undercut until people buy them.
Everybody is excited about the new breed, and there's been multiple recent reg windows so there are a lot more active users than the devs expected, that's most of what's breaking the coli from what I can see. There haven't been ~6k users online all at once before in any festival I've seen.

New or not, 200,000,000,000 in GEMS, not treasure, for dragons that have all basic genes. Seriously? And then it's not even a question of greed or not, because there's no possible way someone has 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 gems to spend on ONE dragon with all basic genes.
Also I remember a few months back in the AH, in the food tab someone was selling like 2 food items for 4,000,000,000,000 gems or some other ridiculous number. Come on people, really?

I put up an egg for just under 2mill and it was bought immediately.
People have the money, and they will buy if they so choose.
As for it being 'affordable', being the first to have something is a commodity. I personally never bother because it's not worth it to me.
Too expensive and you don't like the price? Go grind for one yourself(well, once the coli comes back on).
Just because you want something doesn't mean it's going to be priced for everyone. Give it time, the prices will drop.

All I'm gonna say is that people are pretty quick to rush in defence of greed.

Guys you know 6000g = approximately 50$+ usd?
I dunno as bad as I want one I got bills to pay. Kinda gross the lowest price for them is 50$ but I can't wait to laugh when they go down to an affordable price, suckas!

Of course they're overpriced right now. That's because they've been out for 12 hours. There are a few people paying the insane prices right now, but not enough to sustain those prices. They will drop within the next few days.
Are the sellers being greedy? Yeah, sure. But so are the people who feel that they NEED a nocturne RIGHT NOW. The event is two weeks long. There's lots of time.

If the price is too high then just don't buy one and the price will go down. You know what else wasn't affordable when it first came out? Computers. Refrigerators. Electricity. Cars. That's how life works. When something new comes out it is expensive, it's unaffordable, no one gets it but those who are rich or have time to work on getting one specifically. Eventually the prices will go down. That's the way economies work, in real life and on flight rising.
Be grateful Flight Rising is a fairly generous community so we don't just fade into capitalist h-e-double hockey sticks like real life. The prices will drop, probably very very soon since everyone is so desperate to have one and everyone is gonna be breeding them.
No capitalist system will EVER please people, if you want to escape the horror of low-supply high-demand prices you are going to have to find some non-existent socialist paradise. Unfortunately humans are pretty much 100% unwilling to do that sooo

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
