Why don't you stop sugar coating the truth and stop hiding behind the fact of the BOTTERS and 3RD PARTY AD Sellers are who controls the economy of the game.
If players think otherwise then they are absolutely oblivious to what goes on behind the scenes.
This is the simple fact of why nice things are taken away from honest, nice and legitimate players.
Why buy from the Zen store when 3RD Party Sellers can buy Zen items from Tarmalune Bar store and resell them at a lower cost to dishonest players?
Then, you give a slap on the wrist by banning accounts for 3 days when they break ToS and buy from the 3rd Party Sellers.
You are trying to kill the problem by the most little effort ever. You are getting the cart before the horse. You are trying to put out a forest fire with a spray can. You are trying to stop a Mac truck with a flyswatter.
Of course !! they need to do something about it!! and it is good so,
OMG guys be realistic and serious!!
" a 100% Chance just for 75 Bars" This just ridiculous cheap... make no sense. "be realistic" its why the auctionhouse was Overflowed with this items. the value of wards was basically zero.
what kind of game give you a 100% chance just for free, there's no one beside single or private servers.
Stop your flame/crying for nothing.. or keep hating if u want but nothing will change. There's tons of player that never used tradebars and they are fine with that.

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, especially after the whole XBox thing.
But.. while I was reading through the infinite nerdrage on the XBox thread, it suddenly occurred to me that I have never bought a coalescent or a preservation ward... not on the Zen market (was too expensive), and not at the TTB store (saving up for a mount for my DC).
I'm sitting on over 100 preservation wards.. between RNG smiling on me and the Winterfest, I made out pretty well... same with Coalescent Wards.. I have a few in the bank. I certainly don't need to stock up on them.
So, unlike so many other angry posts that I've read, this has absolutely NO effect on me.
But, I do appreciate the gift you guys are gonna give us. They'll reside with my modest stockpile and be used during the next 2xRP. :-)

incase you guys haven't noticed since module 6->7 they only focused on economy. leadership, stronghold etc. just to remove the AD from the game, little by little they are takin everything, and people still support their decisions. how can you say "our policy doesn't allow us to have 2 items in both tradebar store and zen market" after 8 modules, after freakin 8 modules, like you guys did not see them or what? for 8 modules 8modules x3 months for 2 years. Isn't this way to convienient?
It is a sugar coated truth. Truth is, the Tarmalune Bars are being used by 3RD Party Sellers to undersell the Zen store.

Add preservation wards to VIP rewards. Like 5/day Increase rate of Coal Wards from Invoking rewards. Make these things account bound if you must.
We all knew this is coming if we were paying attention, but that doesn't mean there isn't going to be RAGE.
If I happened to not have access to the game tonight I would be FURIOUS.
Some tidbits just now from our guild channel (all different people): " yeah might be taking a hiatus here now too. terrible update after terrible update cash grab bs. already maxxed out stat wise, but who the hell will be left to do runs with at this rate"
".*Swear word* this stupid *swear word* game"
"its funny.. i knew it was coming, i just knew it , but im still sort of pissed off"
im from the x box side....cant say this was not written on the wall the past week from all the talk of balancing both x box and pc to be setup the same. , be thankful you have chance to buy up all you need before the change takes effect.
I was so surprised and happy when I saw the coalescent wards in the store. I have VIP membership and I finally could afford to do a few upgrades I could never do because I couldn't afford the kind of money the Zen market required for the wards. Now, it goes right back to how it was before. No hope of advancing, just like it was before. I, as a customer and player, feel that this is a slap in the face and a solid way to make loyal players find a new place to spend their money. This is obviously a choice born in hatred for your customers. Maze Engine or not, this might just break you. I'm very sorry that you hate us so much as to implement a cruel restriction on us who love the game.
Cryptic announces that it's officially time for everyone to find another game to play.
This was the one true benefit of VIP that made me feel like it was okay to slowly grind my way up to better gear. It is literally the one and only reason I put money into this game at any point ever. That at least I could convert all my failboxes into something actually useful in a time span which isn't HAMSTER-up insane. There goes that, and with no announcement or plan for anything that could fill the void. Just some BS bribe to make the people this doesn't affect feel happy, and rub salt in the wound of those it does. What's the benefit of VIP now? Or even playing?
I might go back to playing games whose core game mechanics HAMSTER me off to no end than keep playing NeverGetsBetter Online.
The VIP takes time. People who bought VIP for a long time are expecting to get cheap wards. This is like a contract. And you just break this contract. There is no excuse you could do that.
i feel that gold diggers must have used at elast 40 boxes of towels so far with this announcement. zens are already going up since gold diggers are already happy to sell you zens and ad to buy zens xD arc loses once again. DFO here i come
I want whats left from my 180 days of VIP, since there is no point in being a vip anymore. Also there is no point in using your enchanted keys since the chance of finding somethink other than companion kit and profession stuff is near to impossible.
This is my first and only post I will make on arc games forum. Due to this removal of trade bars as well as the mod 6/7 implementation and focusing the game more as a pay2win, I quit. Game is now uninstalled. Good luck to you all.
or is it a solution you found to fix the xbox players being really mad at you? "so why don't we remove wards from PC players so xbox players will feel better about us?"
I know there were a lot of questions regarding the Tradebar Store line in our announcement for Underdark yesterday. We have some further clarification for you.
Coalescent Wards will not be leaving the stores and pricing will not increase. Prices are still being adjusted and we will have more information soon. Rest assured we’re listening to community feedback. In terms of other items, we’re evaluating pricing and looking to make it more worthwhile to engage with the store. Again more information will be released in the near future.

Sweet, I know this is an old quote,and I'll get told off for using it, but I love how you guys evaluated things and made it sooo much more worthwhile to engage with the store, tell me what else have you added,(I don't think the removal of ANYTHING, except bugs, makes an asset more useful) or re-costed since the changes? Oh right bupkiss.

Face it, a LOT of people bought into VIP because the tbars from the daily key meant a steady supply of wards even if you didn't score big.

Your greediness is only matched by the bravery of making such decisions on a game that is almost dead anyway.
