Official Blood Wars Board | Print: you're having a laugh right?

you're having a laugh right?

due to a complete lack of economic sense in regards to desired items, e.g. solar pieces, people have been banned in the past due to the item being "too expensive".
so, what do we have now? we now have less than a tenth of useful jewels, suffixed copper through to emerald, although being low in a valour order, they're great for making suffixed titanium or neutrals for.
now since i know you have no concept of economics, allow me to help you. if you lower a supply chain, but keep the demand the same, the value of the commodities skyrockets.
a month ago, the same jewels were going for 1/2 heartstones (10/20 bloodstones incase you need help with that) are now going for over a soulstone (and what does that make kiddies? that's right 500 bloodstones+)
so, are we going to see 1) this changed revoked, 2) you take an economics course and don't hand out draconian bans, or 3) nothing changes apart from you banning 90% of the server?

much love GT

yeah exactly what he said. Duping is and was a cruical part for some servers I know this server and French moria 2 will suffer very badly due to this ill thought off change. People will quit there for albeit in a small way will lose you money to line your pockets with.

we have a small amount of players active which means less drops which means less items on auction, which means what nice items are dropped mainly just sit in peoples armoury for merges has we all know how hard it is to make something decent these days due to what i just said...

dupe items was a key factor for lot of players, it made it a easier getting items to a half decent stage for merges to make items we want/need
now without duping items we are seeing the market prices raise again in cost which in my eyes is defeating your object ?"UW] Items will no longer be duplicated, this function was originally implemented to prevent pushes but it no longer fulfills this role."
unless im from a different planet ?

kinda feel uk server gets pushed to one side and dont get thought about when ideas come in!

That part of the patch must surely be effecting the polish servers too? Sure there's more active players, but how many people there used dupes to merge their gear?

And how many planned to, and can't now? And now also have to pay ridiculous prices for the same items we once paid a couple of heartstones before? Genuinely one of the worst changes I've seen here since I started. The development team seem to take two steps back with every one step forward o.O

There will be people that quit over this, and I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering if you're actively trying to kill off this server so you can focus on your 'close to home' servers.

Sort it out, take indica's advice per the economics course, or admit your secret plan to shut down the UK server.

Sausage pls

Duplicating was never meant as a measure to help merge items or increase the number of items on a server, it was meant precisely to stop pushes.

If there is indeed a shortage of items on the servers we'll think of another solution, but duping is PROBABLY not coming back.

Szeszej,
Pliz be so kind as to check your answers with someone really involved in certain subjects before U write sth here...
http://forum.bloodwars.interia.pl/thread.php?threadid=1262856

In the linked topic there is still a discussion and poll regarding duping and its consequences...

Posted by Szeszej on 07-04-2013 at22:31:

OK, I've edited my post to be more accurate Wink

check out auctio pages currently 6pages long!!
of course we have a problem with items on this server

how about making the chests worth spending evo points on i.e taking some of the lower end prefixs and suffixs out when you colleting higher chests that would help with items

I agree with darc, make the treasure worth aiming for as I've not had a single sellable item from that yet, I'm having one more try then switching to 15 junk.

resorted to junk a couple of months back , better value for time taken

This is getting fairly ridiculous, 4 weeks ago there were 10-14 auction pages whenever I looked, I am looking now and there are 4 and a half. Something must be done! Viva la revolución!
