DQ Items worthless

V4l is looking into it, surprised everyone, tons of DQ have been nerfed.

The biggest problem will be that the farmers, can no longer afford to buy the gold from the AH the csers supply.... so it affects everyone. If the csers cant sell their gold.. why would they charge more if none is buying it? Its really going to hurt pwis bottom dollar in the long run.

ty for saying that...because i do have a job and i work my hours and dont have time or cash to put on the game. I dont get to play while i am at work. And if they dont offset the DQ stuff it is useless for me. I will find another game to play. I will not put real money on this game so that i can have gear. The fun part of the game was grinding and earning your stuff. Now you cant do that because it cost more to grind than what you make. b:angryb:angryb:angry

wow this is not what i expected when i came on after i got home was all excited and then to find this my ownly source of income in the game is completely goneb:cry

There's a thread about that already. Lots of people are pissed. Here's the link:

What makes me sad is the last time they changed DQ prices they told us in advance. Didn't mention it this time.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention..




Yeah I bet there are a lot of mad people I'm one of them.
They need to stop messing with the things that work and are already here and focus on adding, not removing things.

Wow what a botch move on their part.
It all comes down to greed and the all mighty dollar.
Start removing what is helpful to the free players now that pwi has a fan base and drive them to spend real $$ on items. Thats complete BS...

This is going to cause a lot of people to quit if this is something permanent I can pretty much account for myself and about 20 friends being a few of them.


Epic work PWI crew.
You've found the most direct rout to make a successful game meet an untimely doom.

I will be boycotting the Dq price drop in game and hoping it spreads. One opinion is heard, but many are felt. Get a large enough protest going perhaps they will hear us and make it right.

Hey everyone,

We know you're unhappy with this change, and I'm going to be looking into it.

We'll be speaking with the developers to get more information on the DQ item price decrease.

I'm really sorry about surprising you guys like this, and I'll do my best to keep you better informed in the future.

Calm down, its being looked into.

thank pwi for ruining the game for me now. how am i supposed to make any coin if everything is worthless. im not a cash gamer and depend on game coins to try to keep up my gear and skills. youve taken away that option now.

seriously, i agree. I i've only been playing for a week and just figured out dq drops last night thought to myself finally a way to buy the stuff i need. then wake up today to go make some cash and cant.. Now i have no hope of getting anywhere...

Just when I thought I found a game to come home and play after a long day of work leave it to them to **** that up for me.

They could at least make the expansion title fitting from "sirens of war" to
"WTF all non-CS stay away from our game"

Seriously, nearly every change they make is to make other people use CS.
(Changing DQ prices, Possibility to lvl to 30 in a few hours without gaining enough money for skills and ports, being not able to gain any rep in the EG Quest chains etc)

We all know it already, theres no reason to beat about the bush...

I just hope our gms voice will be heard and they will change it again

A lot of people don't realize this, but our updates are literally translated copy/pastes from the Chinese version. These changes, therefore, are tailored to the Chinese version, where botting is rampant.

I'm moving this to the other DQ thread. Please keep the discussion to the same thread. Thanks.

I've recently rerolled servers so I have no high level toon on that server to get coin on. As anyone with a blademaster can tell you, BM skills are very expensive. To get all the skills costs a lot of coin, and the quests simply do no meet these and gear needs. That's where DQ are supposed to come in. Sure low levels can farm mats and herbs, but obviously not everyone can do it that. In a market there cannot be ONLY sellers, there needs to be buyers too. The main buyers of things like low level mats are other low level crafters. Sure there is also some high levels going back to craft things but those customers are a smaller group. With an over abundance of mats and not enough buyers, you know what's going to happen to that market? It's going to crash. This is a very bad change for many people.


That being said I do think we all need to remain calm until we can here a response from China. Hopefully this issue can be resolved in a speedy manner.

In the meantime, anyone got any good ideas for an adventuring low level? b:pleased

Define low level. Cause normally I'd honestly say grind DQ - so now it comes down to what level you are so I can explain what quests you have available.

I've already done all my quests.

Again silly, define low level Like what level BM, and are you spec'ed out for AOE if you're above 60?

I'm not even 60. I'm super duper low level lol. b:chuckle

Like...level 20? 30? Options change depending on level. Hell if you're still on HT message me tonight when Im on heh.

Don't care if it's getting looked into or not I'm still PO'd.. literally logged off as soon as I finished BH after realizing to start a thread specifically to protest on this. If this isn't fixed F2P people can't make it for **** on here. How many people would give up and quit on this game because they can't afford anything, then how many others who do pay will quit because of the population depleting. A game is only as fun as it lasts because of the people we involve ourselves with.

Less friends = More boredom = More tempted to find a new game that doesn't get broken because of the issues people face here like this. Granted, a lot of people can't help but QQ because it's not easy enough, everyone's influenced by and only example is everyone else who pays and gets their char up OP quickly and think they have to be able to keep up or it's not good enough. I rarely see anyone else sticking to this as like any other game that's actually longer and harder to level, let alone get the end game equips on there. Trust me in comparison PWI is easy compared to a lot of other games, it's just the simple fact that no one wants to work for their stuff anymore.

I grinded the whole time to prepare for the next 10 lvls. When I finished, I FC'ed for the last levels to reach the next X0, to find better mobs that dropped better DQ's to progress further. Month's on end to get where I am now as a SIN (for the record, at mind I'm an archer. I'm not an arrogant stuck up think I'm the best etc. type. I'm against most other sin's for the same reasons anyone else is {no offense to "all" sin's you'll know who you are}).

My point in that is a sin's very efficient on grinding no pot's needed if decently equipped. Dropped coins cover repair costs and DQ's<= are our profit. I originally made a sin for the very purpose of making money as a F2P user to afford being able to play other chars because even with DQ points it's a hard struggle without cash shopping. As far as one of the best chars to make money on, even it will now become a struggle to manage the costs it takes for progress.

Being looked into or not, I want my opinion, as well as many others who are currently screwed right now or those who care to understand how severe the effects can go on this. Regardless of what they're doing/plan to do about it we want to make sure PWI knows it's a matter that people will be/already are PO'd.

Place your opinion anyway if you feel the need to, as I do for this. To anyone else who just doesn't care as much, and yes I know and admit this is a rage post, I'm sorry you've wasted your time reading this. I ask kindly though, no trolling please.
