It's a difficult one to solve, but it is still solvable.

If the GM's take no action and hope it 'calms down' they're gonna lose non-CS users because of the huge unbalance, and then they'll lose CS-users who will become bored playing an easy game with their OPed gear.

If the GM's do a rollback, they'd probably need to refund peoples credit cards/debit cards etc. to avoid doing something illegal. They'd also need to act fast to avoid losing too many people.

nothing illegal read the ToS (i think)

Due to the event alot of things have now decreased in value... tremendously: G6/G7 shards and Apocalypse pages to name a few.

The Dev's thinking up more and more ways for us not to make in-game coin.

Midnight - Lost City

spoon i have just one question. Does PWE have the capabilty to rollback one day and return money?

lostsoul1213

Can a gm at least in game give us the opportunity to turn off system messages until duke either loses his voice or blows a circuit?

The solid wave of red is not helping anyone do anything.

SOrry I promised no more messages,,, but everyone is getting very ticked off on dreamweaver and out of a faction of over 100 very active kids, my faction now has 5 members on at the most thanks to duke's messages....

Its impossible to play with the huge red swarm...

Wanna fix this and make every player happy. Just make it level based for every level you have give 2-5 gifts, That way everyone can enjoy them. Remove the lunar/FF weapons from the packs, and lets just enjoy the game, for the birthday of Perfect world make every cloth, and mount etc discount by 25%-50% and make alot of money in the process. These packs are nice, but its just that alot of us has worked months and months to get our items, to help friends, other players etc. With this, its not fair, I really would like to buy things from the cash shop, but not if its going to give me items for free, that I don't even need to lift a finger to get, except open my wallet and punch in my credit card numbers.

There is alot of ways to go about this, make it quest related, level based, make it where we all just get the same amount and as a gift.

just stop this fcken event be4 u lose more players.

edit: you don't care about the players anyway..it's all about da $$$

I'm tired so will probably start talking rubbish...

Not Everyone can spend 5 hours in a dungeon to farm mats everyday, if they are willing to support the game by spending real money, why not, give them the chance to get there hands on some decent gear.

To those that complain they spent months farming the mats, I say well done you, be happy you earnt your item.

My only concern with the new packs is there is no actual rare item left, on most games when you reach highest lvls trying to obtain the rare items becomes the only real reason left to continue playing.

I'll carry on playing, and keep trying to get the best gear and items, and make my way to the rankings, at least if people do leave because of this I'll be one step closer to the top

we've already taken note of the Duke Blacke and we're looking into solutions

the only problem with this is the spam really blocks out all forms of communication

Its not decent gear its some of the best there is a big difference lol

there's no way to make everyone happy. PW can either make CS players happy or F2P players relieved. spoony is upset because more flame is to come... wonder why

I know I'm a newb but what token in this event gives you these game breaking weapons and how many tokens do you need for them?

they can work countless hours to stop the event now but either way we now have cash players who have some of the rarest an top gear now, how are we suppose to match up with that?

You have a chance of getting a rare item from the anniversary packs.

The Ideas are really nice and it should really bring down the economy and the coins that circulates in PWI. However, I believe it is a bit too much to put some of the rare item as a gift (1 dollar). One may spend 1000 dollars or one may spend 1 dollar but this is not that important. The important fact is that some of the rare items do not belong to the gift quest.
Furthermore, I will enjoy this event as much I can because I will also buy some golds and try my luck. However, I feel really sorry for those who worked really hard for some of the items and also the coins. 2 lucky = 10 m. wow!

Anyways thank you in a way to create an easy way to make coins and allow users to enjoy the game more easier environment but on the other hand.. what about the people who worked hard until this event.

Hopefully this will all just fade out like the "pigment coin bug".

A "Chance" out of a pack you have to pay real money for.

you're guaranteed to get one of the items on the list, i don't think the main gripe is with the price

All my friends on sanctuary are mad about "Duke shouts". Ive heard enough about their friends being mad and their friend's friends being mad. It is very difficult to chat in faction chat or squad chat when your trying to set up squads for quests. nobody wants to scroll thru a dozen duke shouts between messages. An option to Pk duke would be hilarious.

I bought some packs and got no reward better than a Best token, I couldn't care if others got Lunar or Frost items.
I'll play the game, and farm for those items I need, or get lucky and save some time.
People should play there own games and not worry so much what others have or don't have.

indeed, the main gripe is we can no longer effectively communicate with each other

~400k for a box.

But ya, the cash shoppers just need to spend $1

No, what gets me is, for a lucky token to have any affect, you have to have at LEAST five of them. They're selling for 25K a piece in the overcrowded, overspammed area around any banker. It's a mess to even try to go into archersaur. If I had a request, I would say to make it where people cannot set up shop so close to an NPC. (Or heck, even on top of one) And to move the PW agent away from the banker and in a more remote area so people can get through town without a major lag.

While you grind 10 hours and cause more traffic costs, they charge zhen in order to get money. When I started to play it was wonderful seeing gold for 120k but I was almost certain that it will not stay the same if the game wants to survive.

Cant just blame people who charge zhen, the players just as much at fault if not more so are those who get stupid amounts of ingame gc a week (from tw pay for example), they cause the gold prices to go up,since they have the ingame coin not to worry about the gold price and can afford to pay 300k +

Who do you think buys the gold from the AH, the people who just put it in ?
