    they cannot ignore their customer's distress at over inflated gold prices.

    They already have.

    Ummm O.o Seeing as How gold will likely never again dip under 200k. I'd like to make a suggestion to the Devs or mods in charge of certain items in the game. I'm of course talking about 1 mil Chest boxes. These boxes are Directly related to the price of gold, the price of Perfect Hammers to be exact. Now atm it's absolutely pointless to even have them, they are practically a slap in the face when you finish a challenging Instance, say a rebirth, or Cube. Whoopie, something that's worth nothing thanks to gold being more then twice the amount it needs to be to be profitable. Sweet! Pay 2.5 million coins in Gold for a perfect hammer! ~Opens box~ *1million coins* niiiice.... o.O Anyways.. Here is my Suggestion, and I can't be sure but I think this will help the economy of PW better, Instead of having the 1 mil boxes directly related to the prices of Gold. Change the reward inside them to 100k and have them not require a hammer to open, cause lets Face it :) Nobody is buying those hammers anyways. At least this way It will give pw at least a little bit more of a Free to play feel, because you actually will get a decent reward for your hard work, instead of emptying your pockets with charged gold.. Anyways, that's my piece, hope you agree with it.

    I was also thinking of keeping the anni packs in the cash shop for a lower price but also placing tokens as rare-ish rewards. No matter how much profit they make, they cannot ignore their customer's distress at over inflated gold prices. People will stop buying, mostly because they cant afford.

    Some might, but some will want to deck their tideborns out in the new gear.

    keep them in the game dont take them out. the longer they're here the cheaper those items will be decreasing the demand for them and lowering teh gold price(in theory). however if ppl still buy gold at 500 or 600k gold gonna stay that high. but the more of those lunar and fc weapons and ornaments the cheaper they will be so bring back the packs b:victory
    I dont level Slow I just enjoy the game b:surrender

    "Through the darkness light can always emerge, it is only when the unwilling come upon this light that fear takes over. Emerging from this darkness takes more then courage, it takes faith in ones own mind and more importantly in ones own heart. To deny the light is to deny yourself the feeling of true happiness and true peace within your own soul. Denying your own happiness and your own soul is denying all that one has to live for."

    I'm very sorry for saying this but I'm speaking from the truth. Ragequit all you want. I've seen players quit after the anniversary pack sales and then weeks later some of them came back. Some people who claim to quit the game are still here so why all this pointless QQing? I won't name a few people but they're still here. Honestly, i wanted to quit too but i can't because of my addiction to this game.b:cry

    MY TWO CENTS

    Because all my dollars will be going towards packs again b:surrender

    Obviously the "other packs" weren't selling well enough. Which is a shame because the GOOD thing for NON-CASHSHOPPERS about the other packs was the fact it pushed coin prices for alot of items DOWN. (E.G. Mirages from 30k a few months ago to 14k-15k now on Harshlands)

    The return of TOKENS means token prices will drop, but it means people will only be spending tokens on things THEY NEED or HIGH DEMAND ITEMS which will push coin prices for alot of items back UP.

    However, the return of the Token - Best of Luck will mean 10mil big notes, which means there will finally be people rich enough to buy my damn spare Twilight Scepter off me at a reasonable price because before today people WERE BROKE. b:victory

    THANKS PW, IM NOW OFFICIALLY LIVING LIKE A COLLEGE STUDENT SO I CAN CASH SHOP MY LIFE AWAY TILL U REMOVE THESE TEMPTING OP THINGS FROM MY LIFE!

    They give you a random couple items, they more valuable ones being a lower chance of getting like an item to obtain special wings, legendary boots for level 95, lunar capes with incredibly good stats ect.

    Because the packs are so high in demmand, although they were 1 gold in the cash shop (which should have made them 100k in game) they were being sold for 500k a pack in game and drove the prices up to 500-600k per 1 gold.
    (Gold used to be 100k.)

    Now we non-cash shoppers cant even afford simple things like charms, angels, teles. Well you can, but you've got to put so much more effort into farming coins to keep up with the economy while the cash shoppers are cruising. This pushes the gap between rich and poor.

    'kay, thanks, just keeping this for those people that say packs are back because PW is struggling. Unless, 42 million profit is struggling? I remember that PDF file (I think it was) said that their online games made the brunt of that money.

    You know i would not even care that much but this time last year there were fun things to do on the servers like the Christmas quests, but ever since the Anni Packs came out they don't do anything for the people who don't have money to throw in this game. Guess i will enjoy all those Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 games i requested for Christmas.
