So lots of us know we farmed DQ at low levels. One of my favorite spots was Old King Hill.I could farm mats, level my pet, get herbs all at the same time. Now it's pretty much worthless since they're all one coin. I thought this was a glitch but it seems like it's not. What do you think?

    Yes, was a great way to make coin at low level and i wanted to make an archer. I hope it changes in next update, or ASAP.

    DQ was reduced to being worth one coin due to botters in China. >_> This is the reason we have DQ rewards.

    TBH, it doesn't make any sense to have DQ rewards, the mats should be restored for us to how they originally were.

    I find that leveling low level alts requires me to borrow a considerable amount of coin from my higher level alts simply due to the complete lack of coin income for lower level DQ drops.

    But then... Wanmei doesn't give a **** about PWI, except for the fact that a lot of people that play on PWI sink large sums of money into their pockets quite frequently.

    Mhmmm, it would be good, but I doubt it will happen, the amount of coins one can get in game is being seriously nerfed recently b:sad

    It's simple. There is not lot new players around of this old game, but if someone done new character, then is so bad to sell everything on 1 coin (DQ). PWI answer "Because of bots in game", I know it, I really understand it, but free players give up to playing in this game, we can't farm gold like in old times..so your "Gold donates"(Csers- Cash Shoppers), can't sell it anyone(no free players at all). I think in future will be this changed or in this game playing only this peoples who pay. The fact is, if you "destroy" free players, your Cser will be gone too, don't miss this point. We (free players), don't spend a 1 cent on this game, but we are most need in game, because of us, is all there. I think for bots can be done other way, and drop from mobs can be more expensive. Sometimes I don't have any money to use teleporter and I need to walk on my feeds to town, but I have still this hope, that this game will be one day like in old times...so..bring back old prices to game(or even double amount and drop rate, like you do it sometimes in game, for time to time).b:bye

    It would be stupid to farm DQ in this game now.
    When gold was 400K (or less) and there was no NW where you can get 100-200 raps in 2 hours I could see spending a couple of hours farming DQ, you'd get almost a million coin enough for 2 gold. Now what can you get for a million coin? Huh? Nobody sells DQ much in cat shops anymore and the dragon quest has almost completely died off.

    V4liance (our CM) commented yesterday in the actual DQ thread. The OP was basically an idiot for starting this one. They don't need to respond to this thread because they already responded to the other one. AND that response has already been quoted here, so there's nothing else to say on the matter.

    This thread needs to be closed a long time ago.

    Umm we got the DQ rewards as compensation for the original DQ price nerf on the DQ items 30 and below. Which was nerfed because of botters in China.

    So what Sarrafeline states is exactly correct. You should research the truth before you incorrectly smack someone for telling it.

    The original nerf made the DQ items one coin. It additionally increased NPC prices on pots and supplies by 5%, and also reduced the amount of coin received from selling across the board for other items like armor and weapon drops.

    That was back in 2010, a couple of years ago. Considering that this version was released in late 2008, that's quite a long time ago.

    that was just a nerf...like a few hundred coins.

    http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1399101

    this is when 1 coin was introduced.

    sorry, i meant this.. this post is when they were nerfed. not 1 coin.

    http://www.perfectworld.com/news/?p=140151&cpage=4

    First "nerf" was 20% in 2010. Then in 2012 they "fixed" it for good with 1 coin

    Actually, they can't. At least, not unless PWI convinces the Devs to customize the code just for us, and the devs are already unwilling to customize the PWI code by removing -20% DQ prices.
