Right now, the reason for the really insane amount of queue on NA West is because all of the top guilds are trying to hone their gears via RMT to prepare for vykaz release.
Due to the recent changes on honing mats being roster bound instead of tradeable, the bots are making it up with more numbers. Before, they only need to run 1 bot now they need to run 5 bots to make up for the loss of efficiency in gold making.
With many people being forced to hone their gears because of vykaz very very very early release date speculations, a lot of people buy honing mats and sometimes those who arent as rich as others are forced to do RMT because of it.
So right now, I think the best action is to prioritize the insane long queue times so that players can access the game. By delaying vykaz and reverting the honing materials, we will have to deal with less bots thus more enjoyment for the players who do not need to sit in 10k+ queue before being able to play.
forced of what? nobody forces anything, that’s a lie, I bought the jewelry to have 4 engravings being f2p, the rest are stories to show off and pretend to be a whale when they are not, I’m 1427 and I’m not in a hurry to get to day 1 of Vykas, although it is true I would like to arrive as soon as possible but it is not a drama, when I have to arrive I will arrive, I would like there to be facilities but I repeat, nobody forces you to make the content on the 1st day of launch and if you want to do it, pay inside the game
I don’t know the methods of how to use bots etc. you seem very knowledgeable, almost as if you use them too
I’m f2p and ready to Vykas Hard since 2-3 weeks ago, +20 weapon and 5x3 engraves.
The price on mats is beacuse people crafted relic sets and are whaling/RMT just to have everything on +25. Thats why T3 shards doubled the price too. Leapstones tho, dropped a lot on price compared with weeks before Valtan annoucement.
