Has anyone noticed the prices of enchantments lately? And the amount of AD it cost to make upgrades? I tried to warn people the new enchant system was actually MORE expensive than the previous version. Can you get rid of the refinement system? It's far too expensive, in fact. It's MORE expensive than the previous version of enchanting.
(Example: Previous Enchant System)
Turning a rank 5 (azure for example) into rank 7 used to cost 32-38k. Which includes purchasing 4 of the same type of enchantment in order to upgrade them into a rank 6-7. Did you know it cost 75k minimum to turn a rank 5 into a 7? Also, have you seen the prices on c-wards lately??...
Can we just get rid of the refinement system, and just make enchants require 1 additional enchant of the same type (total of 2 enchants needed) to upgrade?

Yes, they've all been flipped upto 400k per ward. It's dangerously more expensive now than it has ever been, especially back in the days of clicking copious amounts of rank 4's and ending up with a lot of rank 7,8,9,10. Some guilds visibly asked for all members to send rank 4 enchantments to an officer to receive rank 7's and up as they fell into place.
Credit to them for using a variation of Dragon Kill Points, but yes it's a LOT more expensive now than it has been, despite the previous conversation on the forums.
Coalescent Wards were frequent in prayer boxes and were always Unbound. Outdated information is outdated.
You're forgetting the whole REFINEMENT system... For example, You need 300k refinement points to turn a Normal Plague Fire into a Greater. There are no shards for Plague Fires. So watcha gonna use?
They need to just get rid of the refinement system, and just require 2 enchantments of the same type to upgrade, and get rid of potencies. All this HAMSTER man... It's happening again... Companies making unnecessary updates. Won't be long before it ends up like RuneScape -.-...
You're right, with no multipliers the cost to make is double. They do work well though, and it answers both points as Coals weren't needed to make the first 8 lessers in the chain.
The refinement system is boring and easily blocked, like sticking a Fulminorax with double health on the MC map every couple of spins.
It would be more feasible at this stage to set the chance of success to bound to character instead of combi-pot. People wouldn't get the compound interest / lucky winner feel about the game. A different form of gambling, with inequality at the fore.
Some of the better positioned players could open up the game to newbies though....
It's player's that bring more players, not advertisement. Happy players will advertise the game for FREE. Happy player's spend more money, game value goes up. Perfect example, Counter Strike.
Yeah, it's really bad right now. The BEST way for PWE to set this right is to get rid of the refinement portion of the enchantment system, and mke c-wards a hell of a lot easier to obtain. Plus, that will kinda help balance PvP/PvE out a lil bit as well because the average player would have better gear.
Only reason it was cheap was because bots were putting enchants out in AH and pushed the price down. Now they banned bots and the prices went up + the new m3 with all the new artifacts are pushing the prices up too because the demand is so high.
The price of enchantments now has nothing to do with the refining system. Try at least paying attention to what's happening in the game before you make threads like this.
Well you obviously don't play the game then, so with that said you have no right to tell others to pay attention. People SPEND AD on enchants of the same type to upgrade their enchants (which adds to the expense). Ex; people by stacks of rank 5 darks to add RP to their rank 9 dark so they can make a rank 10. Plus potencies + preservation wards/c-wards (which is MORE money). Also, I was never targeting the refinement system specifically accusing the RP system for making things expensive. I simply explained how it would make things easier AND cheaper.
How you gon' read something, COMPLETELY miss the point, then tell someone else to pay attention HAHAH!!!
