    People who are abusing the prices, have "fun" being sheep~followers. b:chuckle

    Well 99% of players in PW are followers...anyone that is in a faction and not a leader is at any rate.

    unless you have proff of this which i doubt you ppl do, then dont blame Legendary for everything. And if you dont like it then beat us!!!

    Noone is blaming all of Legendary, all that anyone ever said was that there was grounds to believe it started with an individual in that guild. No need to jump the gun like that, really. If anything you make yourself look guilty.

    If an ATM spits money into the street you shouldn't blame people for stopping to pick it up. The problems in the economy is wholly the fault of the developers but no matter what kind of QA you have bugs like this are going to slip through.

    -Ast

    But you do know that's illegal, criminal and stealing right? You can pick it up all you want, but if a cop walks by and see's you you will be arrested for stealing. It's the same principle as buying stolen goods, you will be arrested for purchasing goods that were stolen.

    The problem in the economy is not the fault of the developpers. Machines malfunction all the time, but it is the duty of every citizen to ensure that the way of life doesn't come tumbling down because of one malfunction.

    It's people like you that loot during riots. That's also criminal. So no, don't blame people for stopping by to pickup money from a broken atm, but also don't get mad when said people are brought up on criminal charges. As should all those exploiting be banned.

    Anyone who abuses them does not belong in the game, players that do that are the reason the mmo I played for 2 years and spent a few hundred dollars on died. Greed killed it.

    Or maybe the developers flogged their cash cow to death and gave up fixing any faulty coding :)

    Has PWI done a rollback before? I'm wondering if they have that ability. before we assume they do, they haven't had the ability since November to change character names. I don't know what they have the ability to do and not do.

    Just got on myself and saw what's going on. Given that this has happened pretty much everywhere and has disrupted cashflow beyond the joke, I think a rollback is the only option.

    I've not charged any Zen myself today, and I'm not sure how they'd handle that if there was a rollback (probably with payment logs and whatnot) but it'd be a shame if folk who legitimately charged Zen to get the new fashion miss out, and not-really-as-much a shame for folk who charged Zen to exploit the money glitching.

    Personally, I'm all in favor of a rollback. This is madness. >.> (Cue Leonidas)

    Because this problem doesn't only affect in-game finances of the players. It halts the gameplay for others, because it is uncertain whether a rollback is happening or not. Even though this problem mainly focuses on the gold trading whatever thingymabob, it affects EVERYONE all in all.

    I charged $100 in zen today for fashion/charms/etc. i didn't sell a single gold.. I do hope I get that back... well I will get it back either through PWI or my credit card company, but I'm sure PWI will handle it.

    The forum GM's don't actually start working till about 10am I believe. They ALWAYS come online about 6pm my time which is 10am for them. For that they work a bit later. Please be patient for now as soon as a Forum GM's gets online we will inform them about this.

    This doesn't work in the long run. Sure there will still be people that buy gold with RL cash, but a lot of players don't. They would rather let someone else spend the RL cash and use their ingame coin. This works fine when prices are at a reasonable level, but when the exchange rate gets out of hand those people will stop buying gold and you'll be left with a lot of gold sitting around doing nothing. Decreased demand due to high ingame prices will halt the purchase of new gold and affect PWI's bottom line.

    Honestly, if there isn't a rollback I think I'll be leaving the game. That's just my own opinion.

    Not too keen on a situation where those who took advantage of the glitch being tens of millions richer whilst those of us who didn't sitting with the same cash balance we had yesterday.

    It's quite hilarious and amusing how some people miscontrue ones words. So let me clarify. By saying that 97% of people know about this issue purely means they know about the issue at hand, it DOES NOT mean they are part of the one's who have continued to exploit the bug, again I say if in fact it is a bug. I ran into this wonderful issue this morning, grabbed coffee and ran out the door to work, where I am now chatting about this grand issue, so I am part of the 97% who know about it, but I am NOT one who is continuing to exploit a bug, again I say if it is a bug. **crosses fingers** Hope this all behind me and fixed by the time I get home so I can grind, hehe.......

    Sometimes people misconstrue words because they are poorly phrased and ambiguous. I find ambiguity hillarious and amusing as well as how when someone communicates badly, instead of clarifying their words they act as if everyone else is merely silly and hillarious and amusing :-)

    The consequences of unlimited coin in the economy:

    -All of your coin on you is worthless
    -Teleport / repair fees are free
    -Making Perfect / Immaculate stones just takes a little time
    -Buying / sharding npc gear is a free source of yiyuan (can be combined into a now worthless warsoul fragment)
    -Free pots / resurrection scrolls / rejuvenation pots
    -Spirit is the only limiting factor in upgrading skills
    -Free horses in the pet manager
    -Everything in player shops / in the AH from before the spread is now up for grabs
    -Everything you have on you that cannot be bought with coins is insanely valuable


    Thats about it I guess. I imagine for bartering we could switch to some other currency such as mirage stones / ultimate substances. Definitely grounds for a rollback.

    GMs are working, mod reply is here: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=188192

    I also think a rollback is a must and I heard that lots will quit the game if GMs don't fix the bug/make a rollback.

    Let's cross our fingers... I think it isn't a good idea to play atm =P
