What I was trying to say is that you cannot determine an answer to any of the questions posted in this thread due to a lack of facts.
Assumption is the key to all fck ups!
Other factors that LivithiuM mentioned:
Age of the Server - Xian is obviously older than Venus. Xian is the very first server, opened on October 2005, while Venus was opened on November 2007. Between these times, the goldbot infestation occurred. Xian had at least a year head start in accumulating gold compared to Venus.
First I say age because obviously the server is much older and this will affect many of the variables that you will need to answer any of your unanswerable questions.
The age of the server can effect:
-The amount of gold accumulated due to the increased time in operation.
-The levels of the Gold Bots and hence the efficiency of the gold bots in service
-The goldbot/player ratio will differ (assumption lol)
Accounts per Server - Almost impossible to know unless Joymax releases the information.
How is this relevant? The amount of legit players per server. One person can have as many accounts as possible, from just one to even ten or more. By the words "more legit", is it more legit characters, more legit accounts, or more legit players?
The amount of accounts(players, legit/bot or goldbot) per server will reflect the demand for gold on that server. This response is purely based on math.
Previous Server Capacity - Irrelevant, for now
Completely relevant. The fact newer servers were created with as little as 4/7 the capacity
of older servers will affect:
-total legitimate player population and the relative gold bot population that it requires.
We should acknowledge that the major influx of players to a server is at its' creation. If the server capacity is low it will cap prematurely. Perfect example is Hera 2,000.
Amount of Goldbots Banned
Again how is this not relevant.
The main argument in this thread is the comparison of the cost of gold per server relating to the amount of Legit players per server.
How this is even possible to not account for the huge amount of other factors I do not know, but the most absurd thing is that
when the supply line is cut for any product the cost for that product greatly increases.
Hence why we see a large change in gold prices recently.
ConclusionI am not arguing any point except this: "There are too many variables required pertaining to each server to ascertain any FACTS to any of the questions that have been asked in this thread"
