by all means i get what youre saying... it was more of a short term gold sink idea but yeah... and my thoughts arent about how it actually is... i know this... its more about the appearance for a new player... that pay to play thought turns alot of people away from more of the mainstream games

personally, i believe that it needs to be some kind of deco items (like old event items that are no longer obtainable)... very expensive though.... it will make some older players irritated that their items are no longer as rare but its the best way to get a gold sync in game... my reasoning coming up:

- the temporary buffs are a nice idea, however it gives me the pay to play feel a bit (sure they are temporary and only use gold, but a new player showing up and seeing the stone may get the feelign that all they do is just farm gold and get stats... perhaps a stat stone like only for new players?)

- tys had some nice ideas but i do not think that this is the way to do it... selling items currently obtainable by players also gives me a pay to play kind of feel and devalues certain other items like runics and pcoins (if youre buying pcoins from a stone, youre not buying them from a player even if its cheaper because its more hassle and the value of pcoins via another player would be a set value and drop from there... runic tinker tools are a nice idea... however it should be something acquired via the tinkering skill and not a gold options... those that enjoy crafting should be able to get them over someone who does not want to craft as much... among other items that i think it will devalue greatly to sell them off a stone for gold)


im of the belief that it cant be something acquirable in game or else it just devalues everyone elses time and effort, while those items would be nice, it just further breaks a very fragile economy on pandora. the crafting market on pandora is already pretty much shattered, among other markets for items that should be high value that aren't and items that should be low value that aren't

an example of something i was thinking: the old deco items like santas reindeer/sleigh... throw the reindeer up for 10 mil a piece (or a random one for 5 mil a piece) and the sleigh for 20 mil... make them expensive but make them obtainable if someone is willing to dump a ton of gold... (all the old event items would be a good way to absorb a ton of gold back into the shard rather than our checkbooks)... it may devalue the older event items etc a bit however i think it's better to go that route and make them insanely expensive (that way no one who sells them would feel their collection is devalued) rather than to sell items already obtainable in game or items that boost your character as per the "pay to play" feel and further devaluing the pandora economy.

Can find a gater near Luna bank most any time or just take the short walk right outside of west Luna.

QuoteWe are human, sometimes we get mad, say things we don't mean just in anger. I am guilty of it as anyone, therefore I cannot pass a permanent punishment myself or I would be the hypocrite.

that right there is 100% correct and why i respect the staff here vastly more than alot of games/shards i have played in the past, and it is true for every single person.
