A small gripe having to do with Rough AD refining...

Okay - so yeah, I know I shouldn't complain, because I have been insanely lucky in this event. I won 256K AD three times. :cool:
However, having said that, it just doesn't seem right that I have over 750K Rough AD sitting in my account that I wont be able to fully do anything with for about a month because I can only refine 24K AD each day...
With the advent of the purple item salvaging, Neverembers Daily Quests, the Rhix Quests and the daily invoking and Professions, doesn't it seem more...helpful?...to lift the cap on refining or at least bump it up to 100K daily?
Please and Thank You very much!

The refining cap won't be raised until most regular players are hitting the cap daily.
As unlikely as it may seem, right now you're in the minority and most players aren't hitting the cap every day.
That isn't the point. The cap needs to be raised. I have been here since the beginning.
You would have to demonstrate how raising the cap benefits Cryptic/PWE... otherwise, why would they do it. IMO, it would only serve to devalue ADs, since as time goes by, people will be bringing in more ADs and thus wanting more for the same items.

lol I love how it's a "Free to Play" MMO, but it's only free to play if you don't actually want to succeed at anything in the game lol
How are you defining "succeed" here? What are you being prevented from doing by having to wait to refine those ADs? Are you not able to play or something?

Why?
Because an event like this will absolutely flood the market with AD and have a destructive effect on the economy in the game..
Prices of everything would increase dramatically for the foreseeable future.. You may think that's ok cause you just got a free million AD from this event.. But there are people making 10M+ from this event..
Now what about the people that either A.. Aren't able to play the event for some reason of B.. Can't play on weekends.
They would all be completely pushed out of the economy.
If the market suddenly gets flooded with 100s of millions of AD.. And that's how much rough AD is being made from this event... Everyone would be on here complaining about how perfect vorpal prices suddenly went upto 20M each..
Don't increase the refine rate please
Honestly, no reason to raise the cap. The majority do not hit the AD refine cap.
STO - which has been out longer - has the same refine cap as here and the same requests constantly... not worth it for PWE to up the cap.
You don't *have* to buy anything in the game really. All of the gear etc you can get without paying. All of it is dropped or obtained in game through some means.
yes. /10char
Even raising the cap by 10000/day .. Over a sample size of 50k players would raise the amount of AD coming into the economy by 500M/day
That would be the end of the economy as we know it
So what would you of done if there was no event and no RAD prize?
You would of most likely ground dailies, leadership tasks, and maybe a little salvage. And hoped you did enough each and every day to reach your refine cap. Seems to me, the prize lets you do all that without any of that effort and burn out. Seems a pretty sweet deal to me.
excellent examples. thanks for that!
Yep. For example, I don't max out my daily refine on any of my characters, and I've gotten a total of 24k AD from the event so far. (I turned most of the ~100 pouches I got into medium boxes, because I wanted the pants. None of them hit for AD. /shrug).
I have absolutely no understanding how people can bear to mindlessly grind enough to get 20+ of the large chests / a million+ AD from this thing.
What you cited was not a POINT in favor of raising the cap. What you cited was, well, no explanatory reason at all...

No, you want the cap to be raised, there's a difference.
Even with this event the amount of players hitting the refining cap daily will be less than the amount that do.
I've paid for 4 character slots and a handful of Astral diamonds and have at least one level 60 character capable of T2 dungeons.
Are we working off different definitions of succeed here?
And top tier loot and crafting mats in WoW have an extremely slim chance to drop, should Blizzard lower the subscription price because of this?
You keep saying "It needs" when you mean "I want". Once a year events aren't justification to raise the cap, and outside the event most people don't hit the cap daily.

There is NO pvp in Neverwinter.
It's both.
I can't even comprehend how many dungeon runs that would take.
(Seriously, I've never done a top-end dungeon.... about how many drake seals do you get in a typical run?)
I had 2k Seals. Each boss is about 4. Chest gives 10.
It could be raised some time in the future (a small cap raise for Zen, e.g., as with STO now), but at the moment, in a young game, the economy needs to be stable, first and foremost.
As to the argument that "it makes you go out and buy Zen", that's just ridiculous - it's totally a self-imposed cage if you "want" shiny stuffz and want them naow. The fact that Cryptic take advantage of people who are that stupid is just fine.
Not that we don't all want shinies NAOOWWW sometimes, but gratifying that urge is something that has to be strictly regulated, both by oneself as an individual, and by the devs, otherwise one will impoverish oneself "buying" virtual goods that one doesn't even own, and the game will quickly die.
Two DD runs is enough to buy one ring, with a couple of seals left over. (3 bosses + end chest)

Do you understand that if everyone (not just you) had immediate access to more spendable ADs, the price on that Riser Fragment would increase accordingly? Prices do not stay static. If there is more currency floating around, they go up. If there are more items to sell, prices fall.
