Absolute non-sense. 5 golds for a p. hammer is nowadays 2,5M :P The chests give 1M :P What is the sense of buying 5 golds for a hammer when u can sell them for 2,5M+? the hammer should cost 1 gold or, as much, 2!

    Yeah, because you QQing about the price and the items the hammer is needed for in-game is enough to make PWE collectively gasp and say, "my God, he's right- we only give 1mil gold from the chests and other players are overpricing their hammers! We have to put a stop to this!"

    .... Yeah, good joke. The problem being that they are still making money on the hammers, so why would they care?

    If they lowered it to 2 gold...after the event:

    2 gold would get you 1 million coin
    1 gold would never go below 500k

    If they lowered it to one, gold would rise to over 1 million logically.

    Actually, people use them when they want to convert large amounts of gold into coins, without waiting for it to sell. (Although personally, I'd prefer them to sell it all in the AH at the same loss).

    I'm for removing the chest of coins, because with them, gold will never dip below 250k.

    The hammer is also used to open the level 50 and 80 stash boxes, not just the 1mil coin boxes. b:surrender

    Glad u know.
    the aniv packs are BACK BY "POPULAR" demand which cause it to be like that.
    Been 3mth already and its not removed.
    Shouldn't the packs be out on aniversay since its a ani pack.

    Come on folks lets bombard the gold trade some more till no one could afford them ^^

    and the freaking hammers should be 1 silver.
    Fair and sqaure to all of us who desperately need them.
    The selfish souls whould nvr listen with the ani pack there.
    The dev should reset everything when the tideborn expansion are out.

    Pretty sure you can think of a reason of two for the chests to be in, and it is not related to making coin fast for people that do not charge zen.
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    Idea for Change to address the "1 million Coins Box" issue:

    Open the box, you get a choice:

    1) 1 million coins
    2) 6 Gold

    This way, if the price of gold is below 200K (250K if the hammers are on sale) buying a hammer could earn you a profit in coins. If the price is above 200K (250k), the hammer can get you a 1 gold profit from the coin chest (2 gold if the hammers are on sale for 4 gold).


    Another idea:

    Create another way to open the boxes ... like a quest. Perhaps doing 7 Bounty Hunter quests in one week earns a "Special Bonus": a key to open the coins chest. At least then they would be worth something in stalls as well.


    As it is now, 1 million coin chests are just a waste of inventory slots.


    Good Luck!

    When the players that do not buy zen complain and threaten to quit because of gold prices, they say something like this:
    "who would gold sellers sell their gold to if people that buy gold with coins were to quit the game?".

    Yeah Bosk, there are plenty choices to fix this little incongruity.

    And yes Ice... the point is that I'm not buying golds anymore, is a waste of money and time.

    yeah, I've made the very same point in another thread in the suggestions forum. people QQ about the price of the hammers taking only the chest of coins into consideration. Nevermind the fact that they are used also to open those chests that are guarded by mobs (never bothered with those) and the supply stash boxes as well. However, the presence of the chest of coins do in fact place an artificial "floor" to the price of gold by setting somewhat of a value on gold.

    I don't really see this happening though since if this was implemented and people had lots of those chests stacked up in the inventory/bank (as I imagine there is by now) people will pay any amount of coin to buy 5 gold and turn it into 6 gold. Do this 5 times and end up with 5 gold profit - money from nowhere. Money that PWI will be "loosing". They don't want to give away free gold in game, they want you to buy it.

    (Free zen offers are a different matter since they are getting a kick back from the offer providers and we get a small percentage of that as well, along with the possible inconvenience of spam/junk mail/phone calls/texts etc..)

    so....you want lower gold cost which would mean taking out coins from the economy yet....you want a hammer that can free 1 mil coins with each swing to be affordable to all?
