    According to Raydoit people in his guild are getting masses of money from nowhere, it is definitely not because they are selling gold through the AH at these ridiculous prices, i mean has ANYONE bought a single piece of gold?
    I know i never will until the prices have stabilized, so where in the hell are they getting this coin from b:shocked

    Well the baffling part of all this is whom exactly is buying all this gold. Of course my theory of the whole server going on the fritz and buying gold at 200k+ normal price so they can attempt to sell it for even more seems to be more logical than anything else at this point.

    See its black and white now. It means I quit! How poetic and stuff.

    I seen gold going for 999k each.
    I was thinking what a freaking idiot thinks he can sell for that price.... well it was gone in notime...

    As people are incredible rich atm, its nothing close to fair anymore.
    So i hope the game will be rollbacked for 1 day.

    I bet, if this wont happen many people will stop playing.
    And yes that includes me, it would give me a reason to move to the european server instead.

    okay here is the story.

    some guildmate of me told me about a player in west archo dropping a lot of items on the ground.
    when he asked the player, the player opened a trade for showing him 62 million coins...
    and gave him 1 million for free. (i told my guildmate to report that to the gms, dont worry)
    i pmd the player and asked for a explanation.
    he told me that he found an exploit with some cash shop items which u can trade in for many millions...he also wanted to give me 10 million for stop asking questions b:cry
    that player is from legendary guild and told some mates how to use that exploit...
    its sad to see lvl 80 barbs easily buying the misty forest ring..while i still try to get my left 3 million exp to reach lvl 89 and do my demon cultivation..
    thanks to the 1 single legendary player i will lose 15 hours of grind if we get a rollback...

    and stop blaming the gms..since they still dont recruit "international" GMs, there are no GMs online to see that drama..just wait for them to stand up in the morning...

    Sucks for those who have gotten somewhere in the game.

    Sucks even more for those who are new and were attempting to save up their coins so they could get a foothold.

    I'm at work and have yet to see this devastation. If all this is as bad as it sounds...it should be fixed as as soon as possible, even with a rollback if necessary, which it seems like that's the only real option. If this exploit is able to be done because of this new patch, it will eventually spread to the other servers too.

    How about if you attack Legendary you do 2 things
    1) give your in game name
    2) give name of person that you are slandering from Legendary guild

    I am in Legendary avatar Wildette and the guild was as stunned as any to see AH prices. Guild itself is advocating a roll back to yesterday for fixing this issue. So watch your 2nd / 3rd hand slander of a great guild with nice people in it.

    Well the only real solution that might do any good is to ban the player(s) who have abused this bug, there HAS to be a rollback because the economy is just fubar at the moment, and a ban is deserved IMO because people like betty have to lose 15 hrs of grind time because of the insatiable greed of a few.

    maybe is a joke from PWI dev for Friday 13th?? lol who knows??b:laugh

    well, as we know there will be a rollback as soon as someone finishes 20 20 20 or any quest like that.

    as we know the prices will go down as long the player buying all that gold gets banned/bored/or forget everything by a hit in the head b:pleased

    so, all left is just to wait and laugh of ppl that buy that gold, because the economy laws will not let this happen for much time, and if they do, Dev will stop it

    Basic economics class:
    Higher Gold Price = Less people buying gold
    Less peopel buying gold = Less ZEN income
    Less ZEN income = less money to PWI pockets


    High Prices = Bad

    Why would GMs do that?

    More demand = higher prices

    In this case you aren't necessarily increasing demand for gold aside from a slight "bargain buyer's impulse" increase, the only thing that is happening is that the cost of gold relative to the cost of coins is changing drastically (which is bad for the game's economy, and not necessarily good for PWI's profits).

    I don't see anyone getting banned. Exploits will always be exploited, hence the name.

    I see a rollback, a whole mess of refunds, and an emergency maintenance.

    I agree 100%, but just knowing it's wrong to do it isn't going to stop 90% of the sever from doing it.

    Well if 90% of the server does it then 90% of the server needs to be banned for bug abuse.
