]]>i like when people mention their favourite paintings on the forum so i can find them and make them mine
]]>There was one point where every painting in the game was held by two people, and a full week went by with 0 paintings in the auction house ever!
]]>From what I can tell, right now everyone is too poor to afford non-cheap paintings. When every dime counts, you don't think about spending money on paintings. Ironically, this causes nobody to buy any, leading to a collapse in their price until suddenly they are all dirt cheap and anyone can buy them.
]]>Some paintings are preferable to others; my personal favorites are Major Malfunction, Ko, Prism, Watermelon, and the Sky pair.
There aren't enough players so that any painting is valuable. With so many paintings, only the "best" have become status symbols, while the rest are disregarded.
Lastly, non-liked (by the purchasing user) paintings are rarely bought up early in the auction, and instead are usually selected when cheap by poorer players who simply want a painting.
All this results in a conveyer belt upon which paintings sit on, only being bought up at the very end. Where the end is varies on the painting, but pretty much all players can afford something to put in their gallery. This contrasts to v5, when paintings were reserved for the elite. The simple fix would be to cut down on paintings, or to increase the end price. These would make paintings a true status symbol yet again.
