Perfect Hammers

Think of it this way. Chest of coins = 1 million coins. Before they came out, gold was less than 200k apiece. Once the hammers were introduced with the chests, gold shot up to 200k, because 200k x 5 = 1mil. Therefore:

2 gold hammers = gold at 500k
1 gold hammers = gold at 1 mil

Anyone else reacon they should have either a sale where they cost 1-2 gold a piece or that you can pay a lot more to get an indestrucible(non trade or account stash etc) so that you can open all the things that you need one for.
Personally i find it is wrong to get a chest of coins for completing the cube of fate and then having to spend(which i dont) more money than the chest holds to open it.

There's too many chest of coins sitting in people inventories now. If such an idea had been utilized, it would have been needed ages ago. Now, hundreds of thousands of chests would get popped saturating so much coin into the economy that we'd go into an over inflationary spiral causing much greater problems for us.

These . . i am confused why people not understand that making hammer cheaper mean
increasing gold price . . b:surrender

And the current 300k price was created because packs just like Aadi said. b:thanks
If hammer become 2 gold cash shopper won't selling gold less than 500k (i said these many times)
if no one want to buy >.> they cash shopper just have to buy the hammer then open the chest them self . . for 1million.
Or if they still newbie and don't have chest they might sell gold lower than 500k . .

Its because people dont understand that there is a difference between a price ceiling, a price floor, and a price lock. People hear "that will make gold 500k" and think back to people saying that 5 gold hammers "make gold 200k". But its more then 200k, so that "must have been false" (in their minds).

Hammers at 5 gold made a price Floor of 200k. Meaning gold could still go higher due to increased demand, but it would never go lower again. The reson being that if someone put gold for lower, it would be bought out in 1/2 of a second for people to pop chests & make money. The demand on gold skyrockets if gold crosses below the 200k threshold.

Now if you make hammers 2 gold. The threshold for incredibly spiked demand become 500k. The ONLY way this would be countered, is if literally more gold is up for sale, then [twice] the number of chests sitting in peoples banks. At the moment that numbers in the hundreds of thousands of chests.

So if there was a hammer sale, all gold below 500k would be snatched up. Hundreds of thousands of chests would be popped for profit. This would also cascade into an inflation of epic proportions due to all the extra cash.

Please, just understand, this idea is so bad that it would single handedly crash our game economy.

Darksylph explained it pretty nicely. If anything, get rid of the hammer requirement and make each chest tradeable for a couple mirages or something; keep in mind, tho, that whatever you decide the trade-in item will be, the market will be flooded with them. That being said, I think 1-2 mirages per chest wouldn't be so terrible.

Edit: When getting rid of hammer requirement, obviously you are also scrapping the "get a million coins" part, too.

No mirages, I make my living off of them D;

what'd be REALLY smart is making the hammer a 2-3 time use instead of 1 at same 5$ tag.itd still cost a large chunk o gold if they want 1m:v

Same problem. Pay 400k x 5 = 2 mil, to pop 3 mil in coins (3 chests). Gold will be bough out and mass inflation will set in, until the new gold floor is 600k (1/5th of 3 mil, the point where its no longer profiteable to pop chests). Any sale on hammers, where the amount of coin used to pop chests is lower then the reward from chests, will spike gold prices & flood the economy with coin. For all the reasons explained before, will single-handedly destroy our economy.

For this idea to have worked, it would have been needed way before people stock piled hundreds of thousands of these chests in their banks. Now it is too late. They need to be removed & forgotten about.

I wouldnt mind just giving tokens personally. or they could make it something like this

If it changed to something like that box, then gaining reputation won't be so hard anymore ? b:surrender
Oracle again ? b:laugh
Wraith officer badge 15% o.0.
Secret Letter alone giving you 200 reputation. (you need to be rank 4 though)
Hmm badge.
But i think these idea making the box worth more than sell for 50k to npc. b:shocked

key word in my post was like

maybe divide all those chances in half and make it a 50% chance of like 10 tokens or something I dont know.....but all chests are doing atm is wasting inventory anyway and rep is always good. as far as the oracles and scarlet fruit in there though I would like for them to get rid of it if they implement something like that.

besides with that badge of bravery people can finally get a sign of bravery making all the signs for the sages weapons available in game

BTW look at one of the quests to get big mooncakes according to the database

very easy quest ... could do it 3-4 times a day just grinding
