Dear Cryptic, from a serious player - please read

To be fair, he may not have had much power over those decisions. I mean the forums did have quite a number of people accept that it would be happening and provided feedback to improve the current system which of course takes them time if they were to even consider it.

And just because he said he'd bring it up with them doesn't mean that we get to be privy to that discussion.

If anything changes, it's going to take time. Chances of them reverting on the binding of farmed RP was pretty much always nil.

I wouldn't have said nil, but they have had a pattern of over binding everything. On the plus side it's SUPPOSEDLY not retroactive. I bought loads of stacks in guild bank slots due to the fact that it wouldn't be unexpected for them to mess it up and make them bop.

That would only be possible if they made all the refining stones BoP regardless of where they were sourced.

I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but there is no way for the game to tell where existing refining stones came from, so it's all or nothing on extant items.

Why is that? he posted on Friday the 7th of November that he would talk to the developers on Monday , how is that a curious leap of logic? he didn't say " oh I'll talk to the developers a week next Monday" at this point we have been waiting a week for him to get back to us with the results of that followup.

Talk to them doesnt mean they will change their minds

With luck, they will have reversed this decision, as well as, increased the currency caps to 10k...

What a disappointment that they went ahead with the decision without softening the blow to legitimate players.

Yeah patch notes are in the news section - http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/news/detail/9005213-patch-notes-11%2F18%2F14

tl;dr? They didn't come up with an idea of softening the impact of that change?

It took them so long to fix dragon hoard coins clogging up inventory space, our best bet was to say no to bta, not suggest ways to improve the system and accept them becoming bta.

They did a ton of good with this patch - EXCEPT this. Depressing.

Yes RP are BTA and there are no other changes mentioned in the patch notes. There has been a rumor in the german community, that there would be changes to soften the blow, but I found nothing in the patch notes.

I play four chars. As it is I can either limit this to one or kiss my chances of running with legendary items goodbye. The smart move will be, to wait till 26th December with refinement and get the double refinement boost.

IMO they made it impossible for newer players to catch up to someone who played for a longer time. I cant see a way for a new player to get 3 leg. artefacts and 4 leg. equip without spending thousands of dollars.
