Here is an article in business week:

Here are the factories that Crysler moved to in Mexico
Saltillo Engine Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila 1981,2009
Chrysler Hemi engine
Chrysler Pentastar engine
Saltillo Truck Assembly Saltillo, Coahuila 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 &3500
Toluca Car Assembly Toluca, State of Mexico 1978 Chrysler PT Cruiser
Dodge Journey

Now Ford:
Blue Diamond Truck Escobedo General, Nuevo Leon Mexico Ford F-650
Ford F-750
Ford LCF
Chihuahua Engine Chihuahua, Chihuahua Mexico Open 690employees Duratec I4
4,4L and 6,7L V8 Diesel

Game keeps cropping the list.... dang... you get the picture though. If it really matters to you, I can also post the list of ALL the factories they closed in the US.

That is parts as to outsourcing not the entire assembly line as that would cost billions which they have invested billions into.the sharholders would have some to say about this.Don't forget about the bail out package that that GM and Chryco just received.This would mean billions of dollars in compensation to dollars to laid off workers as well as pension benefits.You think will all the tool dye workers and all that has been invested they are going to simply move everything south to Mexico.

That doesn't effect Canadian operations up here as we build cars and parts which we have the largest part manufacture of them all up here.it is one thing to read something off the internet but different to what is being said on the nightly news.

Did you read all the comments to.

Has nothing to do with level. You adapt like you would adapt to gas prices rl (used this for lack of a batter example). People complained about that and how no one could afford ect, but people are still driving and people will still be playing..


This same thing has happened with other things in this game and people ended up eating their words because they jumped too conclusions too fast. DQ items were meant for a quest(s) in-game that is relatively dead.

What if the new Tide Badge Quest yields something that would make the added $$ to make up for the 20% loss in DQ? Then everyone freaking out going to eat their words here?

Chill out and wait ffs. That is all I am saying it is not a big deal and people will survive. Just wait and see what happens....

People just flip out too soon...*sigh*

Hell...people are dealing with receiving less mirages for decomping of 3*'s...suc's but you play on if you truly like the game.

b:bye

You are right, however; numerous businesses took a hit to the gut when over 80% of travelers and even casual drivers learned they didn't have to go on vacation this year. Or they realized they can just spend 30.00 more and buy a few extra groceries this trip and save gas. Few adapted, they merely survived. Many people still cut corners on gas. Point is, when they did it; the businesses felt the sting. Not just the people buying the gas. The same will be true here as well.

Now lets discuss just why the DQ quest is dead? Is that buy ANY fault of the players? Enough said on that one..

Yes everyone is freaking out prematurely, but I believe its in hopes that their effort will produce change. They don't want it to happen and they feel voicing their concerns might help in efforts to change what is.

Last but not least if they didnt' want input they wouldn't have put it in patch preview notes. Why do you think they slipped it in there?

No.I don't for being over 40 years of age and it would cost billions to move an automobile factory and close one down.They would have to have hefty pay out to those unionized worked as well for compensation and retirements.They just don't make Cars and Truck in the US as there are plants up here in Canada and our unions are a lot harder to deal with.there are Japanese built car in North America Canada/US.

The new players that have lvl 30 still get quests with coin and will learn how to adapt faster than most of you as some one mentioned

To that person who said boycott buying zen why don't they shut down the servers down now.I would say that 90% of the player population wouldn't agree with you.

It is either that or qq more I am use to changes like this in rpgs and atleast they didn't nerf any skills like they do every 2 months in another rpg I play.Grow and adapt.

Being 40 doesn't make you have wisdom. But I won't go there any further than to say, I've seen it happen and I've lived through it.

We're asking the devs about this, and I'll get back to you on it as soon as I can.

^ frankie
oh and as you may not have realised, it's not as simple as kiling one more mobs, plus let them QQ in this thread, if you don't like it don't go here O.o
its a real pressing matter, especially to a non-cashopper like me with limited game time

Just sold all my dq items in my PW-MY version account. Made 12m+ from one alt inventory/bank. Was mostly DQ 71/81/91 since in that version you had to actually grind to gain levels (before new frost, etc). b:quiet

Would've lost around 3m if this was applied there. Also could've gotten more than double if I never used a lot of it to do actual dragon quests before... b:lipcurl

This isn't quite a video game, it's a MMO, it's more like a hobby than anything else.

A video game has a distinct beginning, middle and end. You do something, you get a score or a fancy cut-scene, then it is over. There is no 'over' in an MMO until the servers shut off.

DO IT. b:shutup

Yes it does go talk to your grandfather he is wiser than you are.This is as far as I am taking this as it is going off topic.

This, along with NPC prices going up, has already caused about 12 of my friends (5x-7x range) to quit the game.

Kind of a stab in the back, PWI. I'm likely to be following them. Even if they take back the DQ idea, PWI's almost pulled the last straw for me, telling its users that if they can't spare a coin or RL money, they can **** off.

Hi Rose

can you tell me at least 5 ways and make a nice tutorial for it. I would love to know 5 more ways of how i can make 10 times more money easier than selling that DQ Stuff.

But for sure you can also add all your ways you know maybe you know 20+ that would be many ways i think.

Unfortunately i must tell i dont know any way, so i ll look forward for your tutorial.
!!So start writing now!! And i promise i will donate you

b:laugh

PS: So tell us the ways and no one will ever care about the 20% if it is that easy.

Its all about re-sell back stuff

I make lots of profit from it, theres always people that pay 1.3M coins for somthing that cost 1M coins. This game is all about re-sell.

But decreasing DQ drops price will be bad for poor ones and rich ones, since poor ones wont be able to buy much stuff.

Ok that way i know, so this is one way
And that at least is the way i do, since i put alot of rl coins in it.

But my point is, for the poor ppl i dont see so many ways of making "10x money easier".
I d just like to know how they can earn enough for a good playing experience.

He or she (Rose) just exaggerated i think. In my opinion if we had a chance to avoid this we should do. Thats means the masses of ppl counts not the minority which likes to nerf the rates. PWI should act for the majority, because it is even better to keep them than the minority right? b:laugh

And at least in short i think (blame me for this) the majority are poor and the minority is rich.

PS: That doesnt mean that every rich dont care about that, i think there are also some rich outside which dont like this at all and even some poor which dont care about this topic. But PWi should listen in that case to the masses.

b:thanks

Even if they restore NPC prices and DQ... PWI has already made it plainly clear they're not a friend to the free-to-play player.

Damage has already been done.

PWI hasn't, PW-CN has. It might have just been a mistake to post that. That or something else.

this is true and this is the problem. If by far the best way to make money in the game is by merchanting then something is wrong with the mechanics of the game. people play a mmo because they wat to play a game. they want to quest, they want bosses, they want challenging dungeons etc. they do not want to open a business. the do not want to have a virtual job on a game that they play when they get home from their real job.

If people enjoy merchanting that is just fine, good for them and I'm sure they will do well. it has been said before that alot of merchants are richer then the cash shoppers. when merchanting becomes the main way to get by aside from swiping a credit card it is no longe perfect world it is now Catshop Tycoon. real players leave leaving all the merchanters and cash players. cash players can get money from a credit card and buy endgame gear leaving no end user for the merchanter. what will they do buy and sell from each other till they all go out of business except a couple?

maybe pw should do an experiment. open a server (or merge 2 small ones leaving an empty one) and make the server completely void of a cash shop other then fashion mounts and aerogear and make all of that stuff untradeable and see how the economy turns out.

@shinsen or just make more quests to complete the inventory and safe. all dq stuff just cut and paste and change the items

*sigh* hoped the game would have gotten abit better in the months i've been away.
*back to FPW*

DQ causes:
ozone layer depletion
loss of brain cells
unnatural urge to kill something over and over again
and forum rage.

IT'S BAD FOR YOU, don't do drugs.
