Exactly. And people are still putting this crap for the same amount or sometimes even higher (when someone else put it higher before) in the market. No one’s gonna bid for it but the prices will go up. That’s crazy.
I’ve seen 13 quality items without +5 engravings and with +3 penalty for 70k. No one bid or bought it. It went straight to the AH again for 70k.
Nolifers would kill game anyways with or without bots. Bad game design driven by greed unfortunately.
You know those cosmetics also selling in AH with gold. Which should never ever. So it is not just cosmetics, in this game GOLD is everything. If they reduced the impact of gold may be it is the solution.
It has something to do with the overall gold people make every week. Since everybody needs specific engravings and accessories they will always have a big value. Rmt might add to this but overall a lot of players make around 40k+ gold every week just by doing raids. And the mokoko event added a lot of gold to the server aswell. The prices will only lower as soon as the majority already obtained 5 engravings
just sold a 15.5K low quality ring
AH empty
Robot is now the main economic source weekly chaos task, through the acquisition of una points to exchange gold boxes, unfortunately, when the national 1370, but the minimum standard for una points is still 1302, this is to give enough robot opportunities and reduce the robot very much cost, 1370 getting 1040una points is more suitable for the current version than 1302 getting 1040una points, and is more restricted to robots.
when the progression is fully p2w don’t wonder the game die super fast and is full of bots/rmt then.
the thing is pay to win is not a relevent term nowday
you have pretty much 2 category
1 you pay the devloper and you get player power
2 you pay an other player and you get player power
and the 2 are not the same thing and dont hold the same implication
lost ark has both so what’s your point?
let’s be real 99% of it is the second one
another “game is dying” topic, it’s dying for 8-9 monthes? xD
mediocre player with roster of 6 can make around 80-150k per week (depends on GS of each charracter), so it’s basicly 2 weeks for almost any engraving or for a 1-2 pieces of solid accessories, wich will be with u forever (engravings) or for a rly long period of time (jewelry) is 2 weeks too long for mmo to get gg endgame stuff?
This is all caused by banning players who RMT through mail system. Rather than banning bots and trying to force farmers to have less gold to sell.
You not only killed your player base but you also force farmers to go through other means to get RMT their gold…aka AH. This also made gold seller have more gold since people stopped buying for a few weeks as they heard about the bans so the prices on RMT went down…but once they figured out another way…it was even cheaper plus even harder to detect on who is actually buying gold or not.
AGS killed this game.
i dissagree cuz all the bans come from the g2g site so people stopped buying when they ehar about the bans. on the contary the players went to more reliable gold seller. and the gold seller they went to of course sell a little more expensive than the g2g sites but it is safe. looking at the banned discussion about rmt %80 of the players were unfortunately caught by bots for buying gold from g2g sites. but i agree on one thing if amazon made it harder to source gold for bots instead of bannin g legal or rmt players at least gold wouldnt be so cheap and wouldnt be seen as a problem. if you pay 1200 dollars for 600k gold it will not increase inflation cuz it is the same as the gold price in the game. so if you deposit 800 dollars it is 600k gold. if you can buy 600k gold with 1200 dollars then the problem is big. but amazon failed and they wont accept it the player population is consantly wandering around 130k 140k 24/7 for some reson probably %70 of them are bots. in other words the easier the players access to gold the more inflation is inevitable poor and rich even people with no money they all have access to gold thank to bots cuz 600k gold is 120 dollars
Most of the gatekeeping is being done by the RMT crowd. They don’t want a player who is 4x3 because they might have an item for sale that the person is saving up for. If by some miracle something does drop for them then bam they just lost a six-figure acc sale, didn’t they?
C’mon man!
RMT and inflation ? I dont care.
Dailies and weeklies - thats the real deal
low players risk report high level players for example when leader of the group you want to join rejects you. you and if the level is 1550 or 1535 and there are level 10 gems you would probably report him with the suspicion of rmt if you were in his group maybe thats why they are carefull and dont accept all players
SG can easily fix that by adding TAX for posting items on AH as percentage of item value.
The book prices go up bcus of the bots not able to farm them easy anymore xD
i mean the gameplay and the class diversity is nice , everything else in the game is pure garbage.
The difference is, the botting issue over there is not even remotely close to ours. Almost all RMT done is the gold farmed by SOMEONE being sold for real money. Not botted gold. Having hundreds of thousands of bots instead of real players (even on multiple accounts) is WAY worse.
