Do you feel this game is balanced and fair?

30 years ago how much did a coke cost? Several cents. Its cheap but we cant have it back. Life goes on and so will it on MMOs cause real pple play them. Lets not TRY sound like grandpa and grandma as much as we want it back.

I admit it might have been a bit more balanced then but atm their coming up with new expansions, updating to reach the other country servers that we are EXTREMELY behind in, and they also probably have a schedule to maintain. Things seem a little hectic but im looking forward to the long run when things start to stabilize again.

pple shouldnt play this game if its all about the epeen, especially when its a F2P AND cashable game. Recently the pple i see complaining alot are the ones that cant keep up with playing skills with the pple who have those 'uber' items. AKA some of the QQers rely too much on gear themselves, which they know they cannot get, instead of trying to improve their personal playing style. They would have much more to be happy about really, if they tried to better themselves in skill VS the players who are more well off then them on gear.

The only thing thats remotely unbalanced would probably be fashion/mount show-offs and charms (for PK and TWers). Gear i think can be replaced by coordination, skill, and good use swapping of diff. normal ones. Sadly skill is something pple think only gear can buy nowadays.

Keep in mind 30 years ago even tho a coke costs five cents u made like 12$ a month or something like that... now a days coke is $1.20 but jobs pay more also. go look up average income on google for 1975 and 2005. here in PWI jobs (Griinding) doesnt pay ANY MORE THAN IT DID A YEAR AGO *,..,* RAWARRRRRRR !!! O.o HOW ABOUT GMS PAY MOR PER MOB KILLED EH?
and gear ... u take full TT90 armor and green 99 +4 and 5 Grinded any class character best skilled against Wizzeled. you will fail epically before your charm has time to tick you will be 3 shotted... barb too . again i say fail <,<
pwi, you seriously fail in epic ways. you think letting cash shop items benefit you? wait 6 months till noone grinds anymore and only Nefarious have coins from TW. noone will grind because there is no point .. they cant make coin anyway. u spend more in repair now than you can make in a grind.. this includes selling DQ items. if u want to succeed bring back frost materials and make available Lunar for 2 Subs not 3 million coins *,..,* RAWRRR i say we all go on strike for a week and noone buy any gold at all from AH... see what that does to economy.. you determine what gold is sell for.. if you buy it for 400k .. they will sell it to u for 400k.. i pay $30 for a black NPC horse <,< see? that was 100k per gold i sell 30 gold to get 2mil + .. you determine what PWI does because as long as you let them they will **** you. >.>

I agree ENTIRELY...

I know some people who are EXACTLY like this.
Mon-friday get, up log on do daily's till 730am got to work till 4pm get home play from 5pm till 10pm and go to bed.
Sat and Sun wake up and log on at 730am and play till 10pm/12Am, and if there's a TW: till whenever that's over.

Add onto that the HUNDREDS of dollars per month on gear and charms etc.

Worst of all, is the above mentioned has kids, and a relationship in despair because of the amount of gameplay.


Unfortunately people are subbing game play for the real world and what is truly important.

In fact I just call it plain old PATHETIC, and people are in psychology terms: ADDICTS

think of it this way. Do you want to be the one crying with stress because your short to pay your house loans 10-20yrs into the future? Or you want it to be the other guy instead?

Veno's, however, typically get the last pick in mats, if any pick at all. For most pugs, the veno gets the short end of the stick unless they sub the run. TT is very hard to profit in for a veno if the rest of the group is greedy.

Oh, how I figure profit is this: Time/earnings=profit. Exp gains are negligible and the average drops are horrid. TT isn't really worth it unless the veno subs or solos (not sure on barb, never played one).

You mean "TT is very hard to profit in for a veno that dont have a Hercules"

Any 90+ veno with a herc can solo 70% of the bosses in TT, really cant see how that would not be profitable. Once u reach lvl 100 you can solo 80% if the bosses and if you get blessing on your herc than you can solo 95%.

The party is also well aware of the fact that the veno can solo most stuff in the instance which is why you get to pick drops rather early. First actually if you tank the instance.

Being a DD on the other hand is far worse, you always get shiet loot or just some mirages ;/

Venos have it pretty easy b:surrender.

I am currently farming DQs for the lvl 60 light wristguards mold for my Assassin. I get 1 Silver Dragon Order a day. 2 if I'm lucky with drops. 5 down, 20 more to go. b:victory

Yes, I've seen the premade wrists in AH for 15 whooping mil. A heavy cash shopper could probably afford it, but hey I'm not about to give up fashion for a piece of equipment. I don't cry, I don't whine, I just laugh about it and go do my DQs. When I get tired of DQ I log off, play with my cat, go window shopping, or go watch a movie with some likewise bored friends. When I get back, I do some more DQ and finish it up for the day.

Yes it'll take me a long time, but who am I competing with? I'll get the mold when I get it and I'll feel the mythical "sense of accomplishment" because I actually farmed dreaded DQs for it and nobody can say otherwise. And at the end of the day, I'll be the winner because I enjoy both my social life and life in game equally.

Don't depend on the game to be balanced and fair. Be fair to yourself; decide how much you want to dedicate to the game and stick to it. Dump the rest of dedication to whatever other hobbies you have and forget about how unfair this game is to you.
