lmao right between the eyes 
blah blah blah. youre completely ignoring the fact that RMT swipers bought literally millions of gold and then bought way more blue crystals than anyone is supposed to have access to, thus completely destroying the price for normal players
If whales get RC and then purchase skins just to sell inorder to get more Gold than straight to converting.
ā Blame F2P-Players
If whales go over RMT instead of legit RC.
ā Blame F2P-Players
If whales are overgeared with perfect setup, but suck at mechs. Need bus.

If a store isnāt financially effective, because the service sucks. Donāt blame the customers, itās the store.
All i know is Amazon is only getting like maybe 4-5% money from me when they could get more if they priced their royal crystals/gold competitively/close to RMT rates.
If they couldnāt do that, then release legendary skins/things you cant just buy with gold but Amazon is like nope we donāt want your money lol. Thanks Amazon!
$100 USD should get you months of weekly equivalent mats.
$100 USD buys you an ENTIRE GAME usually.
Itās a free to play game it isnāt being based off triple A pricing.
To expect that, itās unrealistic.itz not the same pricing model.
On top of this, $100 clearly means something more or different to you than to other people. To me $100 is an hour of work, so to base it off this is too subjective as everyoneās situation is different. E.g. An hours worth of mats to me sounds pretty darn good vs waiting a week for weeklies to reset etc.
Iām not F2P and pheons are bullshit. I donāt like paying taxes IRL why would I like to pay taxes in a game?

you do realize AGS sets the gold conversion ratio right?
The reason ppl RMT is because by all accounts the conversion is a rip off.
Its iunno $10 for 2Kg
Yeah thats less than 2 hones for some people.
If you need to buy mats is that even 1 hone iunno
if u are unaware NA global version has been nerfing gold resources since launch my guy. AGS reduced our supply, allowed RMT bots run rampant increasing the supply while legitimate players have 0 income. Presently only Day 1 nolife players and whales can afford current prices since they rode the wave and currently make 50-60K per week across 6 characters. You are correct BC are not an issue our version of the game is Eventually we will get there but this is a manufactured issue donāt get it twisted. Other regions got 1445 honing buffs 2-3 weeks after Vykas (RU) and gear to lvl up alts were not character bound. Its much much easier to level up alts in other regions compared to ours similar time all things equal. Our version is known to be the most P2W version of Lost Ark as a result.
In EUC right now itās 27k gold for 100$ā¦i make about 50k per week just playing a full roster on rested bonus+ raids. There is simply no incentive to buy royal crystals and convert, at all.
Even more so, it is more lucrative to buy skins with royal and sell em straight on AH for gold. This means that the RC/BC exchange becomes even worse. This is one of the primary reasons for RMT and one of the reasons small spenders will never, ever consider exchanging royal crystals to gold. The fixed exchange rate for royal crystals is so bad that even if you were a whale you can see how it just doesnāt make any sense.
We are going back and forth, back and forth from one broken economy to another and the base reason for that is how desperately you need gold for progression and everything else is irrelevant. Even your current enjoyment of the game depends on gold income since without big amounts of it you are hardstuck and cannot progress at all.
OPās probably also condemning normal people for being the sole cause of climate change.
If itās someoneās fault itās AGS/SGās. They created the system and have nearly full control over it. Itās like in the real world, if there is inflation and people are unable to make a living then itās for the government to step in and make adjustments to their system.
Currently they donāt even seem to acknowledge it as an issue. I guess we will see adjustments when the skins are pulled from the shop but who knows what will replace them. The only solution for us players that donāt put in hundreds of dollars into the game is just playing less, even though itās dissatisfying.
