10 weeks is 2 and a half months. How many of the people buying things for 10k gold do you think farmed sators for 2 and a half months? I'd wager less than 10%. You can get that money faster through legit means. There are exploiters. And there are traders who didn't do anything wrong but are...

Right but if your guild folds/ceases to exist your keep isn't up for grabs. Those keeps that have changed hands were willingly traded by their old owner to a new owner.

Reading your response it's evident to me there is a language barrier between us that's going to see some of the finer details of our arguments lost on both sides.

Simply put, if things valued at 10k+gold are not exceedingly rare, the entire economy is trashed. ______ Now for the complex reasoning behind the above statement. The issue with MO2's economy is due to two major problems. The first is a concept sometimes referred to in game design as "faucets...

How many times the cost of building a keep from scratch should trinkets be going for them?

That's why I keep saying that rather than wiping now the game just needs to go back into beta. If we wipe right now you're entirely right, they're going to find a new exploit next month and wreck the economy again. If they take the game back into beta for a couple years then they might release...

A lot of companies have done things they said they would never do after consistent pressure from their customer base. So... no. SV needs to wipe and I'm going to continue to say it. I don't expect them to do it, but if Henrik will never budge on anything he's said he will never budge on then...

At this point there have been so many questionable activities that have been ignored to such a degree that the entire economy is FUBAR. You could have 3 degrees of separation between your transitions and illicit transactions and it's still had a massive effect most likely because of the major...

Oh right. I forgot we could trade keeps. Because that's totally a replacement for sieges in a game where PvP-determined territorial control is intended to be the highest content. Never mind, everything is clearly working as intended.

I've quit games for the precise opposite reason. ArcheAge dailies got to the point that you would be logged in 3 hours a day just to knock out all these dailies because they were the most efficient way to progress. Literally made the game feel like a job. Reset raid, dragon, the Hiram escort...

Tower shields should probably come with a 100+ STR requirement. That would lock them to dedicated fighters, or hybrids built specifically to have them such a stout/30yo/Tind-Khal, which I am entirely fine with. Would be literally impossible to stick one on an alvarin at that point without being...

Bring forth the age of the heavy carapace khurite splinted meta.

Maybe Ohgmir. Most melee builds don't have a ton of extra weight to work with if they're wearing a full set of steel. And I don't consider having multiple clades that increase your cap in a stat to be giving you something "for free".

Right but hybrids in this game have to carefully manage armor weight just as much as a mage. There are some builds that just pile on the armor and give no craps but they're basically corrupt/purify only builds. That's why I think a primary and a str req are the best way to manage it. Hybrids...

Then buff mages in a way that isn't giving them the largest shields in the game for free. Like I don't know, a spell or two that can be cast while running or a spell that can be cast while wielding a weapon/parrying but not attacking. This game needs to stop giving away so much crap for free...

Sure but typical fantasy wizards aren't the only thing I think of when I think of magic wielders in a fantasy setting. I also think of paladins, death knights, shamans, druids, battlemages, etc.

Giving shields a STR Req the way weapons have them is actually a REALLY good idea. Right now anything smaller than the largest shield you can make is pointless. If the smallest shields had a STR req similar to a dagger and scaled up from there we might see more variety in shield meta.

Legit. None of the wizards I know IRL have any form of shield/armor at all. I personally love the flavor of armor/shield combined with magic and there are plenty of examples in fantasy of characters who fit that profile. But yes it shouldn't be free. It should be a conscious character build...
