Why are upgrade materials Character Bound? That doesn't happen on KR/JP/RU

I’m not spreading fake news. Feel free to quote me doing so. Don’t worry, I’ll wait. Don’t respond without a quote, thanks.

As far as honing materials - and anything else goes, whether it’s roster-bound or not doesn’t change the fact that it SHOULD be.

I’ve played KR and RU for 500+ hours. Character bound materials and tradable materials are the only things that exist. There are no ‘roster bound’ materials in other servers. Stop spreading fake news. By you constantly bumping this thread while pinging a CM, means you’re bringing clearly fake news (look at the thread title) to the front page constantly. Stop that.

So OP is a liar too? They’ve stated they’ve played the other versions as well.

They recommend you make alts, the game is based around funneling yet the mats are bound. $$$$gate knows what they’re doing. They’re gonna milk the western cows till they see a drop in $ profits from them, then they’ll make it like KR/RU with ALL missing content and % mats we’re missing.

Yes OP is a liar. There are various posts in here with proof that shows that there is no such thing as roster bound materials in other regions.

That doesn’t mean that having roster bound mats isn’t highly desirable and something we should all push for regardless

Theres balancing reasons why it is that way. In specific - Abyss Dungeons. People run low tiers for gold award. they dont want those materials also flooding the AH.

Perhaps, but presenting it as being already that way in the original region is disingenuous. It’s the rhetorical equivalent of a false flag.

I’m not saying that having roster bound materials is not desirable. I’m simply saying that the way the OP presented this suggestion to make it sound like our version is purposely gimped is completely wrong and causes misinformation to spread especially for a hot topic such as this.

I mean a CM responded and believed it, so maybe we’ll get a more fair game–if their ignorance is our benefit good. I want a more fair game.

…defending two mega-corporations with more blood on their hands than most countries is fine, but everything changes when a CM posts. It revises history because people tend to believe them.

AGS responding to this thread is what makes it float. If we can get leverage from this–I’ll take it. CM’s only really respond to bait.

In the end they will just respond to things they can give answers about.
If the answer is “we want to earn money” its rarely going to be an answer saying exactly that.
Its usually talking around the problem and telling people its actually something entirely different.

Hey everyone, I was able to speak with the team about this.

While mats from regular sources are still tradeable, the decision was made to bind event earned materials. This was to help prevent any influx of system abuse, especially regarding bots and the economy, so the idea is to find a proper mix of bound vs tradeable items. However, the feedback is appreciated by the team when it comes to roster bound vs character bound, and we will be discussing that internally.

Bound mats are fine from several sources just we need them to be Roster Bound instead of Character Boud. However, if our feedback won’t make a change it’s fine just we need a human talk BIG thanks for the answer!

This, make them roster bound. All the t1/t2 mats we farm from islands or quests that we didn’t do and will do them in our t3 characters are worthless

As I stated in another thread possible solution is an exchange in ratio ex. 10:1 T1 → T2, T2 → T3 or just make them Roster Wide.

Thank you @Roxx good to see this being followed up with. I appreciate the work you do.

As always the excuse is “we did that thing players hate because of bots” and as always bots are still everywhere and ruining the economy.

Thank you for your follow up but imo this response is incomplete.

What about una task mats, such as leapstones? Also leapstones from chaos dungeons, Roxx doesnt mention this. Also materials from boxes that were left over when we jumped tiers. I have like 120 t1 and 100 t2 leapstones on my main that would be a huge help to my alts.

Really appreciate if you could respond about those sources I just mentioned? Thank you for your time

@Roxx

An idea would be allow you to trade lower tier materials on a character to roster. So if u get a character to tier 3, any tier 2 mats u had left over could be traded. Same for t1 mats when getting to t2. Giving them a bound to roster tag also stops any potential bot issues.
