    Only in this case its the absolute same thing you could get for much cheaper b:laugh

    I think I know the purpose: Increase in-game price of the orb. Indeed that would work, but they forgot to measure 1 gold = 1 dollar and that will absolutely make many many people unlikely to buy more zhen, resulting in a slower income.

    They should focus more in making people spend REAL money for gold instead of hardening free players from getting gold. Adjusting Cash shop prices according to in-game economy and forgetting how their REAL money income is important is a sure fail strategy.

    This is how I see the 50 gold "sale" price on ocean orbs. I would have bought enough zen for the amounts below.

    At 25 gold I would have bought at least 8 of them

    At 30 gold I would have bought at least 6 of them

    At 50 gold I will buy none of them

    In other words, I am not buying any additional zen. Not only that, I would have bought additional zen tomorrow (due to the zen cap per day) to get the two orbs so I could get my weapon +12.

    So, PWI what does that mean to you? A lost sale this weel of roughly $420+

    Yes, the price of ocean orbs has now risen to the level where it is advantagious to abuse the demon/sage card abuse for unlimited event gold (or buy from abusers if you are too lazy) and instead go for +10 with tisha/tienkaning !b:laugh

    I may not buy Orbs just yet for my gears but I must say ouch to those who have the coin and want to refine their gears. At this rate, I think my gears will stay a minimal refine of +3-4. Just sad to see the economy worsen because of these ridiculous prices you offer. b:surrender

    As someone who's been in and out of the game since day 1, I'm probably a 2nd tier player in terms of gear and would've considered putting in some cash to get my armors (+8/+9) up to +10. Instead, I'll just put that towards other entertainment expenses while PWE gets another couple bots in the game. If you want my money, give me five 10*orbs like you did in the past, NOT 2 you greedy ****.

    FYI, the money I'm spending on my electric bills solely for PWI (laptop) could've easily been diverted to zen purchases, but PWE is jerking us around with these prices. As long as you continue to misread the economy and increase prices as demand goes down, I won't contribute to the bottom line.

    PWE, you need some marketing professionals on your team because you're doing it wrong. The glitchers and 1%ers are already geared up, so you need to address the other cross sections of your playerbase.

    Oh but wait, that's right. You don't even have employees that play this ****ing game, just like our Lord Savior Sparkie.

    Okay...

    - "Sale, Sale! Dragon Orbs Ocean, Sale!"
    - "Yay! Is it 50% off? :>"
    - "Not really friend, its 100% ON!" b:laugh

    Funny how marketing team uses "SALE" to specify an item is being sold (sale, selling), but people understand its being sold at a discount. (If this was a discount, then it would be a 100% Negative descount lol)

    Its like selling a shoe worth 100$ and using "SALE! 200$".

    So I saw +10 Orbs on SALE for 50g each....seems like PWI is going for the "Printer and Ink" marketing tactic? xd

    PWI why you do this QQ! b:shocked



    This is why I havent played much lately. The cost of gearing myself up (without using real money) is becoming to high. 1 step forward, 2 steps back. It is a fight I can't win, or compete against. I remember buying +10 orbs for 50ish Mil each, like a year ago? Now I see them at 90+ mil

    So, this isn't an oops? I had a bit of a chuckle about it when I saw that and figured someone just oopsed the price on the orbs - much like they oopsed the event boutique charms and refinement aids. Figured it'd be fixed in the next update or so...

    Can we get confirmation? Was this a dev oops, or is this an intentional setting?

    50 gold isnt a bad price BUT the problem is the price of the gold.
    gold at 1.2m 60m is fine for a +10 orb at 2.7m(dreamweaver) 135m is a rip of we used to buy 3x+!0 to refine from 7 to 10 now its better to buy the damn +8 and +9 orbs.
    And thx to the S card cashers you can +10 everything and still get one shot or do no dmg.

    If your +7 now i would not bother refining to +10 the dmg you do will be very little difference
    and the HP you gain from +7to +12 will not make much difference when someone is hitting
    you for 10k+a pop.

    I have a +10 magic nw ring if i take that ring off the magic defence i lose(840ish) will make no difference to my defence so wasnt worth refining it to +10

    So kossy you're saying that we have to constructively tell new players that in order to play this game you have to mortgage your house, pimp your wife out and make your children get a job? I take that to mean we can't say anything bad about the game?

    50 gold is $50.00 you can buy a game for less than that. Why exactly is pw increasing the prices? it was 25 err Uhhh $25.00 at one point. Than on top of that takes out silver charms after their was huge outrage by the players. This company is making some terriable calls, I'm not gonna lie I wouldn't even dare speak of this game to my real life friends the way they ignore customers concerns and issues. I'm not just speak about the outrages boutique costs I'm also taking about the horriable customers service and rediculous bans. This game is on the fast track for losing its ever fast slimmed down player base.

    Word from the wise

    Once again

    CUSTOMERS IS ALWAYS RIGHT

    The point is is that they are increasing price; if you don't speak your mind they'll increase the price even higher. You have to remember that someone has to spend the real life money to keep gold floating for other players to buy.

    50 gold = $50.00 irl cash thats pretty expensive for something that wont greatly increase your stats. For $50.00 you should be able to buy a +12 orb not +10.
