An Idea Against Gold Botting

canakin · Post by **canakin** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 9:54 pm

As you know sro economy is getting screwed a bit more every single day thanks to gold sellers and events which are obviously unplanned (theorically a level 1 guy can get 440k by killing just 1 mangyang or even more with a dragon flag).. and this situation forces more players to buy gold due to crazy prices and economy goes even worse..

so what if joymax starts to sell a new silk item which increases the gold (or item) drop rate works like a exp helper ? i think it would be useful to make people not buying gold and if less people buy gold gold sellers will surely lose profit what could make them lose their effect or even stop them for good ... lets discuss about it could this work? or is there some point i am missing?

Unplanned? You think SRO hasn't forseen the economic changes due to the increase of gold to lower and higher lvl people? And have you REALLY seen an affect on the economy? Probably not, I know the money I got from the dam flags went to fuel something stupid: more elixirs to burn up, typhoons. Something rediculous. And I'm sure gold hungry noobs that are always begging for 5k, are using that gold to help buy their armor, weapons, and mostly needed HP herbs.

On to the gold increase item: Even if this were to be the case, would you want to spend let's say 5 bucks a month on something that increases your gold output by 50%... when the real money maker for gold would be buying/selling shit? Gold drops isn't THAT big of a deal, maybe it will buy your pots... but that is it. With an increase in gold, maybe you could buy your pots.... and your wolf's pots. yay.

5$ for 50% more gold or 5$ for 10m

To me if you were going to buy one of those the choice seems obvious

@Bosco
hmm effects on economy? weapon elixirs for 300k+ pro elixirs for 100k+ simply if you wanna just +3 weapon you should spend about 1 million if we consider u will not fail any step of plussing the item. i also mentioned the item drop increase for that silk item which is main way to make your gold..

@W3GAN

Yeah how i wish they ccf to buy it and get banned for chargeback in a week even before they could start to grind at mobs which drops some real gold

Yes the economy is screwed up due to gold buying. I know someone that spends tons in gold buying and buys up ALL SEAL weapons. This in turn makes you and I spend more on the same item due to the demand. It is simple micro economics. Freshman college class teaches you this. Can you explain how a lvl 16 som bow went from roughly 15mil 3 months ago to over 30mil now, or how a lvl 32 sos sword/blade went from 3mil to 7mil in the same time frame. Simple, 3 months ago, people were actually gaining money by buying/selling items, grinding. Now they simply pay for gold from someone that does what us legit players do times 20. Anyone that buys gold is simply helping the game fall apart

Joymax screwed it up themselves when they decided to make everything equipment based and those high ass pot prices.

OMG genius!!!!!

Give them something to INCREASE the amount of gold available to sell resulting in lower gold prices and higher in game prices.

OMG, you're so smart. SOMEONE GET THIS GUY A NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS!!!

send a joymax secret agent into china with a truck load of C4s and blow up the powerlvling companies.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

Here is an idea. Don't buy anything. Yeah, wear those npc gear and drops. So what if some guy spent $600 on an ebay account?

Yeah thought of that, but his idea wont help anything imo. It would just favour the (irl) rich ppl even more..

well, the lower levels are getting more gold yes... but theoretically the higher levels should get a bunch more gold than the lower levels becuase we ( higher levels ) tend to grind a lot more than the lowbies right?
