Bots vs Economy

what gigga chad said.

It may not seem alot but it scales indefinitely, which means it can be alot, by aggregating a bit from alot of sources

sorry actually i was just saying. I know how the bots work and where the gold comes from. lol

Well, you’re showing a gold class engraving book of the most used class and class engraving, so yes.
Is like showing a grudge gold engraving book and saying it’s expensive.

nonono im pointing at the amount of these books being purchased at those pricings and its not only these items but plenty others. Its not as if this is only picture to proof the inflation due to bots injecting gold into the market.

Makes no sense at all? It’s quite literally what happens, you literally have no argument against it.
The image is in its core, “mmo economy for dummies”. You failing to grasp that is laughable

Sigh, again, ask your mom to read the book out for you
Cheers

Most of us don’t need our mothers for basic stuff, kid. Give it 10-20 years and hopefully you’ll be self sufficient as well

Clearly, you’re not part of the ‘most of us’.
Go ask your mommy.

I’ll go sell some engraving books in the meanwhile.
Cheers!

so now we know where the bots are getting their gold from and funneling to mains to sell to gold buyers. The gold buyers are now injecting the excess gold into the market by giving ppl like him

shit tons of profits if they are able to sell for 80k gold etc.
guess whats next, now these players in return gona buy out other items and further inflating the market.
Hence, the root cause???

Apparently you don´t know what bots do … they farm GOLD. A LOT!
This means a lot more Gold, but same amount of books (maybe a few more later).
What will happen to the prices of the books?

lmao @ the people thinking the OP doesn’t understand how bots work. This is 100% what inflation due to bots looks like. For a player using gold buying sites (which is a lot less ‘taboo’ and ‘unsafe’ than it ever was in the past), the prices make sense. 50k-80k gold for a Platinum Founder’s Pack skin? That’s like $50 USD. Fair enough. Half the price of the Platinum Founder’s Pack.

For a F2P player? 50k gold isn’t a few hours at a job, it’s 100 hours of grinding.

… No one is buying them thats why it is so expensive…

Wow, what useless countermeasures. Should be harsher. You get caught buying gold.
First time → Remove all items on the account and currencies. Reset earned ilevel to 302. (Backup incase of overturned)
Second time → Permanent ban.
This may make people think twice before buying gold.

24 hour suspension. I don’t even need to comment on how tame that is.

From a single purchase I would be able to get 200k gold, without effort/smarts. Which if 1000 players do it that is 200million gold. which would inflate the market insanely and make it for legit players almost impossible to keep up unless they 5head the shit out of the market.

Before maint today, the prices the bots are now quoting is as low as 0.8$/1000g btw. But you better not take advantage of this because you might get slapped with a 24 hour suspension!!!

Nerfs to the content, nerfs to gear progression in T3, nerfs to outfits and appearances in general, and a catastrophic bot problem. This launch went exceedingly well.

and If you purchase it from ingame store it is like what 10€/1000g, can’t check prices atm.

I actually think it’s more than that. Can’t quite remember. Also, I woke up at 6am to play today and as soon as I logged in I get told its maintenance for 6 hours (running through until noon), meanwhile NA servers have been back up for an hour during unsocial hours. Love it.

Atleast the patch notes was up before midnight last night. Quiet the improvement from 5am.
