  • Haha, the thread got necro'd, but great job with the calculator, skyflox. ^^
  • Well, I won't flame you because the huge problem with this event is that not everyone has a huge amount of coins and not everyone can afford ZEN. Sadly, because of 10 mil notes, those that don't have money become poorer (since they make only enough to buy charms/guardian scrolls at current gold prices), and those that are…

I'm pretty sure the collective playerbase doesn't spontaneously decide that the price of gold should jump twice as much as before because it suddenly realized that there is an increasing amount of coins in the market. Nor does the collective…
