    I dont get it, everyone complains about the packs, i for one have never ever purchased one, from boutique or from a catshop, and likely never will.. if everyone hates the packs so much, why are so many people still buying them, let alont the people that are stockpiling them for later (pretty sure i seen a catshop in w.arch selling an old anni pack, might be mistaken tho, i didnt mouseover it).. so which is it, QQ over the packs and keep hating them, or keep buying them and show PWI that theres still a market for them? cant be both, its one or the other, everyone needs to pick one.

    I'm shocked no1 has sent you hate mail already. I agree 100%. The community can't have it both ways.

    The problem with packs is that they contain tokens of best luck. Two best luck tokens can be traded for a 10 million coin bank note. This causes rapid inflation. The packs themselves are not really a problem, just the ability to use the tokens in the packs to create huge sums of coin. If they removed the ability to trade best luck tokens for 10 million bank notes a lot of the complaints would go away.

    As is always the case, people are fundamentally selfish. No one wants the rapid inflation, but that does not mean they are unwilling to get 10 million bank notes for themselves. I have never bought a pack (or anything that comes from a pack other than mirage stones), but I can understand how others do not want to pass up the opportunity to get 10 million bank notes. It is up to the developers to remove this ability. The players cannot be trusted to do the right thing.

    You realize that every change that someone spouted out sarcastically at one time or another about packs they've done?

    "Can you at least release packs under a new name? It's not the ******n Anniversary anymore!"

    "Why don't you just make them permanent?"

    all that ****...everyone need to think before they post. The higher ups of PWE must be people with bad Engrish

    Let's try this out:

    "Why don't you just make these bugs fixed?"

    Until Aug. 31st, at which point they'll have Maint. to roll out the real Anniversary Packs again for Sept. 1st. And we'll be stuck with the damn things until January, after which they'll start all over with yet more "repackaged" Anniv. packs with more new/rare mounts and nerfed prize rates.

    Rare mounts you say? How is something common rare? b:laugh

    It did drive everything up, much less significant than packs though. TW pay gave more purchasing power to the already established big factions, so to speak. It is unrealistic to say it had no effect whatsoever, but it wasn't as significant as the huge demand for packs and 10 mil bank notes inflation.

    I'm pretty sure the first year that PWI was open, TW pay did little to affect the economy, you know from like, oh, Sept 08 to Sept 09? Then packs came out. For the next 6 months things started to steadily grow worse. Your join date oddly says April of 2010... which means you weren't even here to see how the economy has been trashed. Oh yeah that's right.... you like to talk out of your **** like you have a clue but you really don't, how can you, you've only been part of the economy since AFTER it had already been trashed. b:bye
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    That is the cornerstone of cash shop games. Either you pay a monthly fee and the people that spend the most time in game win, or you play for free and the people that spend the most money win (with time being the second most important factor). It is an inevitable side effect of this business model.

    I am not sure I understand... How do you "win" this game now? b:puzzled Unless you are on a PvP server and are trying to be the best, better than all the rest, you're sort of just competing with yourself, no? Grind grind grind TT, FCC, FB, BH, Whatever until you get to... I dunno? lvl 105 and can't go any further? Hope they get new content, more lvls, better gear, more easily attainable uber weapons/gear? I have a lot of friends who passed me up long ago because they spend on their time lvling as fast as they could to get to End Game and now they are bored and starting new chars. lol WIN The Game, indeed. b:chuckle

    okay so on the one hand you "try" to fix the coinproblem by changing tw-payout (which already resulted on lots of quitting people.) into mirages...for a lower goldprice.
    and on the other hand you finally(everyone saw that coming) put the luck-packs in as a permament addition? packs that ALWAYS increase a servers goldprice to 400 k +?

    i wonder if the management really thinks that we users are plain stupid..or is it just the barefaced symbol of your greed?


    cmon dude, how could anyone here 'believe' in a GM again, after this?

    It's just the coral pack now.

    Admittedly, the one where sunshine and that other pack at the same time was a bit much.
