Just a few things about the economy

Well PWI, I'm sure you're glad to pump out sales so people can keep spending money on your game, but please, give it a small break o.O

Whenever you make a rep sale, Gold prices don't rise, they jump to a sudden high. People want to buy this rep and so the people who pay real money to get gold can sell the gold for pretty high, they aren't stupid, they know this. Then launch out extra sales at the same time and instead of jumping, gold is just too expensive for the little man here.

Now I'm not saying equal opportunity **** like you probably get a lot. It only makes sense for the cash shoppers to be the ones that get things faster and/or better since them giving you their paychecks means you can continue the game, which means they make it so we can play for free. What I'm complaining about has only a little to do with opportunity.

Recently, you let out a rep/charm sale. Gold prices jumped about 300K coins. Then you threw a pack sale immediately, giving no time for gold to drop, so gold rose decently. But now you make an all new pack with new flyers/mounts and even a spiffy cape. This is very nice and I like the new stuff, very much so actually, but now gold is at 1,700,000 average on Raging Tide server.

Now, unless you have a higher level that can sell FC runs/heads or farm Nirvana, or anything like that really, you simply can't get this much money unless you cash shop, in which case, this all becomes invalid. Now I am a cash shopper, very lightly, but still. (Not on this acct though)

The gold prices are an easy fix though, real easy. All you have to do is stop so many sales in a row. If you let the dust settle from the last sale, the players get more opportunity to find enough money to get gold because gold won't be going for 1,700,000 coins. Granted, eventually you will have more sales later on, and feel free to throw massive sales at us again, but I'm begging you just let the economy settle before putting on another sale.

Is there anyone else who feels the way I do? b:surrender

    Oh the mods will move it alright, right to the lower depths with the rest of the threads that 'suggest' they stop the pack sales

    Seriously though, they are looking to make money. They really don't care about what the price of gold in-game is. They only care about how many people buy it in RL.
    Take the time to look for your answer before you post like an idiot.
