Guys is it even real for newbs to buy Zen through exchange? 9.7kk queue
It doesn't matter if you are a new, a returning or a "veteran" player, all players end up in the same ZAX queue. We all have to wait...
Dont be stingy! Just support the studio and buy Zen with real money
Just saying that we all have to wait, not sure what's "stingy" about that? And i'll spend money here again, when the Devs give me good reason to do so.
RAD was removed from Leadership completely, but the profession itself wasn't changed to reflect those cuts, the AD costs for several other profession tasks are still way too high, and the AD costs for upgrading an companion were only lowered a little. They still can't find some middle ground, when it comes to "balancing" classes. Gateway was removed from the game some time ago, but we're still waiting for a new source of companion equipment in game. The grind is just getting bigger and bigger with every update, while the fun to play the game is just dwindling away. ViP is pretty much the only thing left to buy, when you have most of the "major" DLC packs, but it hasn't gotten any improvement for a very long time now. ...
No offense, i'm all for supporting a game i play with money, but i'd rather buy real new fishing equipment and go for some real fishing, then put more money into the fishing simulator NWO has turned into.
All i see is that the suggested price of zen to diamonds isn't helping. i see it as people either want to flip it and get a dollar for a game quarter. Then those who just want to pay less for what someone had to grind for months for. 400+ to 1. If the price dropped it'd sell or make Ad easier to come by. So those who grind can make more double ad isn't gonna fix it. More dungeons or another side mission/ adventures for ad. Adding quests to earn them. No one who grinds wants to pay 5x the amount for the same thing. When it takes months grind to get screwed to buy what 5$ would get.
If this problem is not solved, the player will not be left. limit must be increased.example: 1 zen=700 ad.I leave the game until the problem is resolved.I have recommendations for moderators.cancel the limit.Otherwise this game is over for more players.
Without a limit in the ZAX, regular players wouldn't be seeing any ZEN at all. With an increased cap in the ZAX, all players would have to "pay" more AD for ZEN, and they would still have to wait for the buy listing to go through.
If you don't believe me, go ahead and ask some russian players how it went down, when they increased the ZAX limit to 1k AD for 1 ZEN on their servers... I think their backlog was at the same point again within that day.
So, be carefull what you wish for... you might get it.
I do believe in killing the messenger...
Want to know why?
Because it sends a message!

+1. Without that 500 limit, I would say majority of F2P people will be gone.
With 500 limit, you can get Zen but you need to wait. With 700 limit, you will get less Zen and you still need to wait. Without limit, you won't afford get Zen unless you are a bot.
Btw, the back log is now dropped to below 5 millions. It was over 6 yesterday.
*** The game can read your mind. If you want it, you won't get it. If you don't expect to get it, you will. ***
Well, it looks like the backlog is now closing in on the 3m AD mark, and the ZAX seem to have picked up the pace too, with a bit of luck at least some players might get their buy listing through before the sale is over.
If the ZAX backog continues to grow again they need to increase the conversion rate limit to provide incentive for real cash spenders to convert their zen. Real cash spenders need more incentive to convert their zen, and having more AD is always going to be enticing. Personally I think they should increase it by 200 starting in 2017.
The 2xRP has created a huge demand for AD to buy marks, rp etc. This demand is quite temporary, so when 2xRP is shut off, the queue is likely to slip back up again. The huge RAD inflow from the 2xAD event should mean lots of RAD being refined the coming weeks that will to some extent end up in the Zen queue.
And if they change the Zen:AD ratio, they are likely to lose players since it will become harder to get the few items you must get from Zen store. Supply of Zen will be larger, but if nobody is buying that will not do Cryptic any good.

pointing towards the elephant in the room... and the ZAX exchange rate limit is just fine.
