Why is there a price drop like this again? It has given the market no time to cool down from the last one. You guys have a 3,999,000 cap on gold in AH and no one can buy it because you keep forcing sales on us that force gold prices up.

Does PWE plan to shut PWI down and are just milking it for all it can give? Coz i mean this is just a huge F*** you to all of the f2p players who cant pay. Not only have you increased the prices of GsT's and Myst. Chip packs, now your forcing the prices of gold to stay high. I dont mean this as a flame or anything. But how high are the marketing team atm? They are murdering the game with these sales.

This is the reason why i have never dropped a dime into PWI they have 0 respect for their players.

    The worst thing in this pack is "Perfect Token of Best Luck". It's "just" a 2.975% chance to get one with Hidden Orchid Treasure Troves, but imo they should remove those. They are not good for the community because they are causing too much coin influx which leads to a high gold price (one Perfect Token of Best Luck = 5m coins).

    To be fair, there is on the other hand also useless stuff which should be removed (because it has no value), like

    Warsoul: Samantabhadra Pack (0.04%)
    Warsoul: Arkarsja Pack (0.04%)
    Warsoul: Jakari Pack (0.04%)
    Warsoul: Ksitigarbha Pack (0.04%)
    Warsoul: Vajra Pack (0.04%)
    Warsoul: Manjusri Pack (0.04%)
    Warsoul: Avalokites Pack (0.04%)
    Mysterious Chip Box (0.465%) (just 1000 chips! and you need 10k for 1 GST)

    Just because it has no value to you doesn't mean it has no value.
    Art that's sold for millions of euros/dollars has no value to me because most of it nowadays is stuff I don't even consider art, I think that should be removed from halls as well.

    Anyway, considering the OP; I don't see anything in your post that shows that this affects you in any way possible at all.
    For buying gold it's bad, but for buying the actual items that come from those packs it's good, the more of those items on the market, the more likely those prices will drop.​​

    They dont rly give a damn about PWI "market", gold price too high or if you are still selling the items from the previous sales... They found an easy way to earn money, why would they wait?

    They need to raise gold cap and/or put on a bonus zen charge promo. There aren't enough people selling gold for the demand. Who ever is running pwi marketing is an idiot. It was already too much demand for amount of gold being sold with just the 10, 11, and 12* orbs. Gold was being canceled (2600-2900 buying) in ah even though they are running at the same time, a charge promo. Now they put in cheap packs apprx 3300 buying, was at 2400 upon logging in this morning 7:30am server, I assume much dropped during maint from timing out. GG

    The GMs/PWE marketing team have no clue what this means or what it does. All they see is the $$$ it generates. They couldn't give a flying duck whether it's spent or sold, or whether the gold price goes above the cap, or what a cap even is. You should write an official letter of complaint to my pet fish Pebbles, he has a much higher chance of helping the economy.

    As i have said before, it might be something they are trying out for this year. Each year they decide to fiddle with something, we just have to wait and see if they continue with this next year or not. If they do, things will become awkward real quick.​​

    due to mishaps in my past few years in game, I do NOT accept random invites (faction/squad/friend no randoms period) NOR will I give buffs (cleric/barb/sin/exp if i have it) to random people because they ask. If I DO give buffs to a random person, it's because of a random whim (much like the red detonator button sitting at my desk that i will one day push at a random whim)
    Also do NOT look at my gear and then proceed to pm me asking to buy my gear or for a loan of coin. It's just plain rude.
    I have too many toons to name, but if you play on Etherblade server and you come across a toon that acts this way, or if the world is suddenly destroyed, it was probably me.
