How much does a +12 refine cost in USD?

2200?
so, roughly 374,000,000m coin? O.o

Guess it beats the cost of a warsoul. And a +12 endgame weapon is still pretty epic.

*Whistles*

Holy.... 2k USD for 1 virtual item in game...

That means for a full set of +12 gear, we're talking what? 22k USD?

That translates into what? a couple decades of grinding in game?

You rang? For the record neither my father, the holy ghost, nor I have anything to do with that. b:laugh That is pretty insane. I'd love to be friends with the person who can afford to spend thousands on some pixels. b:dirty

...because someone with a +12 refine obviously paid for it themselves? That's the whole point of the gold trader really. It lets them put in items like that because it's not reliant on an individual to pay for it, but rather an entire servers community to supply the gold because pretty much no one would drop $2000 on a weapon.

we have +12 GX weapon in our server b:angry

A Hummer is a tangible good with actual utility, and a determined lifespan. Anyone can become rich, staying rich however requires not wasting money, which I think anyone would consider $2000 gold for a weapon refine to be. Especially considering, there can be an upgrade placed into the game at any time, and the refine won't transfer over.

While I'm not saying it's impossible for it to happen, you're talking about an amount of money that very few would throw away to a game (if you did it during a 20% zen sale 2200 gold would run you $1750). Things like that are priced so that very high level players can farm coin and get it through the trader. It's the whole reason the trader exists, it detaches an individuals ability/willingness to buy gold from the actual gold sales. Having $1750 to spend isn't a requirement because there's thousands of players per server, and there's far more people willing to obtain the coin to pay others to give them gold, than there are people willing to pay that much individually.

They're both a colossal waste of money, considering the typical Hummer owner owns it for precisely one reason, showing off, especially the ones who have them made into stretched limos. The vehicle itself is insanely priced, and then when you consider how much you spend on gas for one of them. The difference is the Hummer is a continual financial loss, between the vehicle itself, the oil, tires, spark plugs, gas, insurance, and whatever other parts, fluids, or repairs you might possibly need to purchase. Unless you live in a war zone, there's really no feasible reason why a Hummer would be a practical purchase, when a nice Kia Spectra will do the job you need just as well for much less cash. Not saying that paying two grand on a bunch of pixels isn't foolish, far from it, I'd consider it just as foolish as owning a Hummer. Just saying, there are people with that much money they can afford to waste, who would undoubtedly not even think twice about doing so, mostly so they can have the biggest blong, or is it blang? Whatever it is the younglings like to say when describing shiny, often expensive, baubles.

I know quite a few players who were making a casual 100m+ out of the jolly jones event. Some afk traders make a ton of coin daily simply by having a spare laptop. A skilled marketer or trader could actually amass 300m coins by endgame fairly easily.

I remember another MMO I played where they held events almost every few weeks. The best endgame weapon cost thousands of dollars, if not more to make max refined. Yet, each event I was raking in somewhere around $80 up to several hundred dollars worth in coin through skillfully taking advantage. O_o

lol@kia spectra

as yaoshi said, there's a +12 GX on the server now
2k is about 360 mil, takes a while to get but not impossible with coin (especially with jolly jones)

I know more people with over 360mil (on HT) then i have fingers. hence i can assume its the same on other servers, probably more on pvp servers. therefore, its not unimageable to get a +12.

yeah so true. jolly event makes me so much. i spent like what? 50mil to invest and made 70mil profit. and yes im at endgame with over 400mil coins without spending a cent on the game. so its not impossible to get +12 without spending real $ b:bye

u may don't spend real cash but the ones who bought the 1 star orbs for ur +12 did

Isn't there a point where you look at your +10/11/12 refines and say... I really must suck as this game if I'm paying so much for an increase in my damage.

Also look at the chat box in that screenie, someone had a lucky day

+12 on a mere lv90 weapon.................what a waste
