    >complains about not enough coin sinks in the game
    >complains and calls a coin sink stupid


    u wot m8

    I know it's not the greatest idea, but at least it's something. It's not an amazing coin sink, it's pretty similar to packs quite honestly, but at least it's a legitimate coin sink with the cash not simply changing hands, but being taken out of the game. Well, it's being put into the GM's accounts, but it's more or less the same thing. At least, assuming they don't put it back into the game, which I doubt they will.

    You all need to stop your complaining.

    (Also, I imagine this event will actually see a fair amount of success. Just look at all of the people who buy and open packs. Just saying. We can only hope it's the people with in game coin, and not the people who charge gold that will participate, otherwise it's kind of a pointless endeavor. Oh well.)

    I agree with Euthymius

    and for War Avatar Raffle Weekend we spends gold but we got something but for this Gm Coin Collection Event if we lose we don't got anything back b:sad

    at least for who spend 10 million big note who not got anything can you send 2 Ectasy card or 50 token of luck back i think it make us happy more than 0b:pleased

    this was o be expected to get more coin out of the game and yeah if you read the event well its a CHANCE to win something so this is mostly to get rid of coin ingame and just send out 10 prizes.

    Putting major gold dependant items in a coin-only raffle sort of event.

    I'm with Zanryu on this one. It's clumsy but at least going in the direction of releasing pressure from gold.

    This is the most **** event anybody has ever come up with. Clearly developed by someone who doesn't even play the game? You guys know how hard it is for people to even get 10m coins? Omg one of the prizes Champ Scroll....you do realise that is worth 5 mil in itself? Guess it's time to switch over to Swordsman....

    The comments in this thread actually **** me off a bit. The comunity have been crying for more coin sinks forever. PWE by itself have no power to implement one in game, cause only China is allowed to and they are obviously not doing anything (at least not fast enough).
    So what do PWE do? They make a coin sink the only way they can, with an event! Is it the most brilliant idea? No probably not. Is it the most atractive items up for grabs? No, not all of them at least. BUT they actually went ahead and gave us what we asked for! Much like we have seen recent sales based on what people have been crying about, AND we got silver charms back in event botique. So please stop complaining about every single thing they do. Cause now they are actually doing something based on what we, the comunity, have asked for.
    10/10 for the effort!

    I agree that it would be a great coin sink IF a lot of people attend (or waste a lot of money in it). I'm not sure it's gonna be a great success though...

    And this is definitely not like packs. People that buy packs know that they will get something in return. Of course they hope to get the best items but if they get tokens it's not completely wasted. With this event you could spend 5b and get nothing at all (good.coin sink yeah but maybe not that attractive b:shocked).
    When you buy packs this is totally unrelated to what other people do. In this one there is a reward for the people who spend the most and... 13 other winners ? Does this give you the motivation to bet millions of coins ?
    Last but not least : everyone is in the same contest regardless of the server. But the economy is not the same...

    Hmmm... Scroll of Tome and war avatar pack s aren't a bad prize at all.
    I'd take part on this event, problem is... I got horrible luck and I detest paying 10m for just a chance that I will probably not get.

    If there was a nice "consolation prize" for all the others who didn't win the big prize, I'd consider it

    Still, they are trying. Maybe they can refine this event the more they try.

    Who comes up with these "Events"?

    I guess I "get" the concept of ye ol' coin sink, but it just feels so... dumb.

    Maybe I'm just not wealthy enough to enjoy the concept of a lottery. I prefer to buy actual things instead of paying into getting a chance at a thing.

    and the odds of winning with 1 bignote are what? 1:20,000?
    lulz

    either way, on sanc u can say gold is at 4m
    thats 12m per war avatar pack S (GM listed packs, not chests, as in, its the normal ones from btq, least i assume so lol)
    SoT is what, 1,2b coins?


    and why would they need a coin sink when theyve finally managed to turn pretty much everyone into walking idiots who keep the goldprice at 4m? isnt that enough of a "coinsink" already, given theres not even x2 or anything the like?

    Highly sought after items like JoSD/Deity, Matchless Wings and CoM like someone suggested and something usefull worth aproximatly 10mil as the consolation price, like a Plat HP Charm or GST. That would make coin go poof pretty fast hopefully. Add a nice charge reward, like now but better, and that will probably help boost the economy pretty good. Then do the event ones/month or something :)

    I've heard gold prices have been between 3m~4m. I don't see how that's not considered as coin sink as every frickin item everybody wants is through the damn boutique.

    If it was a player, or a small group of players who were hosting this event, where you send in 10 mil big notes for a chances at prizes. I wonder what people would call it?

    Maybe if there was some sort of consolation prize players could get/choose. It could seem a bit more fun/worthwhile?


    My money is already pretty tight, so I can't send in any 10 mil big notes, unfortunately. And if people were talking about coin sinks, I've been sinking my coins into buying 4 mil each gold on sanctuary, for what its worth f:cute

    The rewards are not worth the risk. Everything except the SoT is garbage. Things you can easily buy from others nearly anytime you want.

    If they come up with redicolous events that cause alot of rage and work for us all then they should at least put items in it that are worth it.

    What's so friggin hard to put an NPC somewhere that sells the high-end pack stuff, I mean whats the problem, really? Make it expensive as hell, no one would mind and still buy it, but do it this way and not with a brainless event like this.

    Becaus that would mean waiting for china to implement it, which could take anything from 1month to never happening. Events is one of the few things PWE can do on their own.
