Wow this is disappointing for sure. All the people who are saying its your fault for buying the keys…maybe it is but if you think about it, all the people that actually were willing to spend their REAL money on gems to buy keys are the same people who would be willing to buy them in the future. Makes logical sense right? So what happens when you screw the people who are willing to use the cash shop? Think about it those who are bashing the people who are “whining”.
We have people claiming they have spent HUNDREDS of dollars on keys. I question if this is a case of pure exaggeration, or a question of lack of common sense.
I’d rather just pay a monthly fee, then get robbed by ArenaNet like this again
indeed.
im starting to feel the Swtor vibe again when i expected more being Anet we are talking about.
Just find it so funny that people in this thread are talking like the chest is the event. That there is nothing else going on and nothing else coming for the halloween event.
What was the drop rate before the event?
People are complaining like this drop rate is new, that they lowered the chance especially for the event and that isn’t the case.
I guess my problem is I just don’t have tons of money to just throw away and a little more common sense ( That isn’t trolling its a fact ) What makes you think that after getting nothing after dumping 20 bucks you are going to get something different by throwing more money at it right away? Really? And what exactly is junk? I got a few nice rare dyes that i managed to sell for a tidy profit out of my chests.
I think what is really awesome here is that people have spent hundreds of $ on keys and sit online complaining about it as if the chest drops (which was crap before) would somehow magically get better while children in their own area probably went to bed hungry because no one in their area would support the local salvation army or food shelter.
/golf clap
bravo
At present that total sounds about right and what others have said is true as well a massive influx of gold would destroy the economy for anyone that doesn’t have any desire or the money to buy gold.
Personally i do not understand the need to spend money strictly for $ as i myself tend to farm gold for gems fairly easily and I am far from being competent in that regard.
Going back to my pen and paper roots its about training and what you sacrifice to do the things that you do.. Ie: With Warriors and Guardians its more then just wearing the armor, its about position covering your week spots, learning how to maximize your weapons potential, etc. To learn all this you had to spend less time doing other things, other training. In a skill point based system on could increase the cost fr certain class to be able to use certain armor in an MMO like this ? Maybe no offhand slot use, slower movement and dodge?
Looks like the TP resets at some point in time every week as it was 45+ last time I had checked. IMO checking the price of Gems also keeps the pricing down in the general TP. Take the cap off of Gem trading and the next thing you know items are worth gp instead of cp
Rp server tags would add nothing but make the server an official target by kittens everywhere who are looking for a good place to troll and grief. Rp servers are not supported by sub based game companies why would ANYONE think that a free game would be able to afford the overhead at this pint in a games life?
Police the server? We are probably talking a minimum of at least 12 additional staff per server just for basic chat moderation and name violations plus whatever other infrastructure they need to handle appeals and complaints.
The one thing i wish that Anet would do is once a name is deemed inappropriate either due copyright or it being to kittenish is add it to the character name filter.
Not to mention that with this method you can’t be banned for days because you unknowingly traded with a hacked account.
Here is what they should do. Bring back the basic trade system so you can just Trade directly player to player like in Guild Wars 1. Then place a price on mail like 50 Coppers to 1 silver to send a message. This way it combats bots cause they have to run out of currency eventually, and we still are able to send and trade items with other players with the use of the trade post.
The mail system I do not like the idea of it costing but small price to pay to combat bots.
All trading directly does is make it easier for them to make a profit off of you once they hack your account and harder to track back to the original account. At least this way all they can do is Vendor or TP….
SWTOR was worse, it just depended on your server. The only way to combat these fools is to not buy from them but for some reason people still feel the need to buy from gold sellers. Anyways these people spam and delete, spam and delete which would i imagine makes it even harder to track them.
Its just a case of a few ruining it for everyone and its a shame but one has to wonder how much resources are wasted in having to go through all the information when an account is hacked? How many accounts did they trade with and if it was more then one then how many of those accounts need to be investigated. Its much easier to track these items down and return them to their owners (or Replace them) if all their account shows over the few days its under another persons control is trading post activity and vender sales. Less risk vs reward might make a difference in the fight against these businesses
Because that way people who hack into your accounts and stealing your things have a harder time disposing of your items.
