    Reducing the amount of people using content in an MMO is not a good thing, regardless of economy. Making content less appealing lowers the amount of people logging in daily to do this content...which is good how? It's not.
    If the desired effect was reduce the coin-flow from BH, they chose a horrible way to do it.
    They could instead change the rewards. How about removing the 2ecstasy cards and 1excite card and subbing them with something else thats bound?
    Replace the excite card with an A-card pack and the ecstasy cards with a B-card pack, for example. Substitute in rewards that are still appealing, but that also stop the generating of so much coin from it.
    Somehow I doubt, however, that their desired intention had anything to do with the coin generated by bh's.

    Good points. Indeed those are better options.

    I dont know if it wasnt the desired intention. Obviously these removed BHs were done much more than the others. Probably also with many alts from the same player. And it might just be possible that PWInternational has the ability to change what bosses are BH but not the reward for example. In that case this could be a solution for them. But oh well, all speculation. Whatever the reason, the result is the same. I did used to do only ABA,SOT,Lunar. Now i will probably rarely do any BH at all.
    Everything i write is from PvE perspective unless mentioned otherwise.

    Sidenote: I disagree about removing excitement cards and ecstacy cards for A and B backs. People still use BH to make income, and people who have full A cards, and even moreso the ones that have full S cards will have even less incentive to run their bh's, when their incentive to do so is gone.[/COLOR]
    Oh, I agree. I just said that as an example, if PWE had actually intended to use the bh changes to stop the coin flow form them, that there were other better ways to actually do that.

    Speaking of PWE intentions.....since this was not in the patch notes and this patch was rife with mistakes, some of which copied from PWCN (like the hypers in FC), are we sure this is permanent or was intended to happen?

    Doubtful. Every major patch like this the first couple of weeks have unintended side effects that come from China sending us basically a copy of how things are there without remembering PWI has a few modifications for our side and we wind up having to wait for those fixes to come back to us.

    Like PvP in Secret Passage, Duke shouting everything, Hypers in frost, and so on.

    How else do you push the lazy populace to spend money?

    Now you'll spend on the auto-daily completion Active Points and PWI will make more money from CS'ers.

    except the BH1's, at least so far, are not completable with the active points. Just the BH 2's

    You actually stand around waiting for those 15 minutes instead of doing something productive like other dailies? That makes about as much sense as people who stand by the crazy stone NPC to wait out the timer on it. o_O




    Happy to see Warsong back but really annoyed at them pushing Aba/Seat to be BH2s instead of letting them stay BH1s. AEU should have replaced BH EU in my opinion. >.>


    True ^^

    They should have kept the initial BH-1 runs as the easier ones and then opted to have the longer and more annoying runs as BH-2 runs (It would of been much less annoying to have them ramp up the intensity of the runs that way, instead of how they have it now) b:thanks

    They change the BHs but not change the rewards. I have had enough of winning mysterious chips and socket stones. This is the same as earning garbage. It's a ****, trash rewards.
