Just curious to see if people are experiencing positive or negative things with the 2x drops. Any changes in the market? Do you want 2x drops again, etc..

    i like it but i dont

    it is great in short periods, like a weekend would be great

    having it for weeks at a time is too much, and has long lasting effects on the economy IMO, especially with TT mats and random drop items like -chan rings and whatnot

    I love all the extra exp, spirit, and drops, though...it's making it harder to make quite such a profit on things such as TT mats. Still, it's a good thing, because it means I can get my TT90 weapon a little bit cheaper than normal. XD

    Hate it. Only been a few days and already green mats such as forshura's arms, antennas, dusts of devil have fallen to 200k each. And if the last event is anything to go by, prices aren't going to rise once the event ends.

    Shoot, wish dust of devils were that cheap on Sanctuary...I need 5 more of them, and I'm having trouble finding any under 500-600k. x_x

    *sigh* well drop rate is horribly, been grinding for about 2 maybe 3 hours now and well drops are just bad. At first I was like, well these mobs are my level so lets go do some 1 level up, grinded on lvl 65 mobs, drop rate still pretty crappy. So went to level 66 mobs and guess what, still crappy, I mean sure I racked in a nice amount of exp plus spirit but it costs me more in pots then what I get from grinding. I think pwi should look into the drop rate because it's really low, even on my alt. Extremely disappointed in the 2x drop rate :(.

    Meh..I dont think I have good luck with drops. Been doing 3-3 for a few days and only have gotten massive amounts of OHT mats...and only like 2 or 3 greens per boss..But then on the other hand, seen people in gc who have gotten 3 Back Images from one boss and 2 top golds and 2 pants.

    Imo, had better luck before 2x..I was in a 3-3 run a few days before the 2x event and a top, 1 pants and 1 boot dropped..and the next day had another pants mat drop.

    Same here, and it's annoying me.

    I usually like 2x exp. and drops, as I can level up better that way and don't have to waste time on BHs every day, also I can earn money to even do BHs few times in a week (wines cost too much for me). But right now I don't understand why do I get so many drops with my level 40 alts and none with my main? I just killed 10 mobs and got only coins + pots -.-

    Considering that (to my knowledge) no monster drops anything negative, how could there be negative effects? I mean, other than for trademutants who are going to whine about "the economy" being destroyed and all that, just because people are slightly less dependent on their overpriced garbage for a little while.

    I like it and dislike.

    I like it because of getting more exp and drops, I dislike it because my xbow I got from FF that I'm trying to sell is going down in price due to double drop. =_=

    It increases the amount of coins in circulation, while at the same time making it harder for people that don't grind or charge zen to earn coin. Thus, it contributes to rising gold prices.

    There is nothing wrong with inflation as long as you also make more coin, so you have same trading/purchasing power.

    HOWEVER, inflation can only be a good thing in a game with SOME static prices. You know, those NPC stuff. Mats for weapons or other equip (more drops, same requirement = easier to craft a weapon). So it can only be a good thing.

    People who want to make money MORE or a lot off TT are the ones who would like others to NOT have the gear they have, because why would they buy it then right? Selfish pricks.

    3 gold mats and 19 essences in lunar b:victory
    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    I really don't disagree with you. I was just pointing out how it could be negative. At this point, the inflationary effect of 2x drops is probably minor compared to that of the various Cash Shop packs. I suppose the nien attack event too, but that's limited to the top few finishers in each class.

    The thing is, static prices in this game basically don't exist, as far as continued coin sinks go. When's the last time you bought anything other than Crazy Stone shards from an NPC? Yes, skills cost coin, but those are one-time-only. Potions can be bought, sure. I've never actually had to buy potions on any of my characters though. Maybe it's because I don't have a barb or BM, but my cleric and wizard do just fine off of potion drops and the occasional apothecary powder.

    And people accuse cash shoppers of being arrogant and conceited?

    2x drops are bad because it hastens the inevitable end to this game (when the number of molds and TT equipment floating around in AH starts to approach and exceed the number of players who need those items). But at the same time it mainly helps the folks who were getting screwed by inflation caused by best luck tokens from the packs. So I'd say it's a necessary evil (which wouldn't be necessary if they'd just get rid of those stupid best luck tokens).
