The economy...the changes...what will happen...

02:42 AMWill it get any better is the question I pose...

My answer:

I'm completely unsure. With breakage returning I think that I'll be eagerly anticipating the changes that are going to inevitably come from the breakage system returning to GS.

I eagerly await the changes that will be coming to enchanting (If they do happen at all). What will come of enchanting is completely lost to me. I _do_ remember posts being made in the past about the change consisting of time based enchanting. That is, that a 10x item could take up to say 6 months (purely hypothetical) to prepare and cast. This would definitely bring about a huge change to the economy of GS in my opinion.

The economy of GS is something that I've been most interested in. It's a subject that is very hard in my opinion to master. What can be done to make the "average joe" feel like they can become a big money maker? Hunting titans just isn't an option anymore...the treasure system just doesn't allow it. Heck...thank god I don't have to worry about swinging at Titaniia anymore.

What _can_ be done? I'm unsure.

a) More high level items? Highly unlikely. As we've seen mainly from the spitfire auction...even though instituting tents for certain age ranges are used...only the rich will eventually get the good items.

b) Bring back breakage? Well...this subject is yet to be seen in my opinion. Tons of expensive items will be breaking...and several customers will be easily hurt. However...if what certain GM's are posting about bringing more merchants in general (padding/flaring/etc.) is true...then something might change. I wait to see on this option.

c) Slow down the treasure system? Well this has made absolutely no sense to me. Why was the treasure system ever messed with? Seeing huge level characters hunting devils was never really a problem for me. I mean I can understand at the time because of the limited hunting grounds throughout the realms (I.E. Basically everyone around level 60 should've been on the isle...unless they were hunting vruul/harbringers/troll kings still). It was a blast being able to make up to 1 million coins in one day hunting devils. I usedta love seeing Krackenstar, Sune, and Krack's rogue (ferget his name...started with an S) sitting in devils without scripting and making coin after coin after coin. Did it hurt me? Absolutely not. I just wanted to make my own wizzie and bring him to the isle and do the exact same thing.

d) Eliminate high-end items? Well...several items have been changed (something of Reife's, something of Dice's (I forget what items)). Why should the people that put in the hard effort to get the coins to obtain these items be hurt because some people are so sad that they can't work that hard to get items? It has never made sense to me.

However flawed my argument might seem...I hope that some people can understand it.

(That was probably the worst late-night essay form topic I've ever written, sorry everybody).

11:24 AMThey want to punish the merchants and wealthy in GS with breakage it seems. They have made sure that anyone that starts now will never obtain any type of wealth without buying it for cash. So why bother even playing now? Seems they leave pretty fast.

Now they are going to introduce breakage. Geez, I can't even afford 4x gear! How am I going to repair my equipment??? I will not bother with this crappy game! Bye bye.

I wish they can look at the whole pictures. They seem tunnel visioned in hurting the merchants. So and so would not sell me that item! Going to break now I am in power! Muahahahahaha!

All the merchants agree on one thing. I will just locker all my stuff. I am. Going to cash hunt minotaurs and lesser monster while I see what happens the first week then ice my accounts. I will hunt anything with any type of wealth that I can with no armor, shield or weapon. Seems a bunch of us will be doing that. learning from picking since we can't hunt same level monster effectively with normal gear in the rift.

They seem not to want any enchanted items over 5x except in the staffs hands. No enchant with breakage....smooth.

Just see nothing positive with breakage still.

On top of this all. You can't post on the official boards how you feel without them banning you from it. Any negative comments can be seen as a policy violation. Love the Censorship...

08:27 PMThis is what will happen.

Malok gestures at a shan ranger.
Malok stares at a shan ranger.
CS: +1217 - TD: +145 + CvA: +17 + d100: +14 == +1103
Warding failed!
The shan ranger drops its diamond-hilted longsword.
The shan ranger drops its lantern shield.
The shan ranger lets out a blood curdling scream!
The shan ranger yips in pain as he falls to the ground motionless.
The powerful look leaves a shan ranger.
The light blue glow leaves a shan ranger.
Malok searches a shan ranger.
Malok gathers the remaining coins.
A shan ranger's body shimmers slightly. Suddenly, his features cave in, falling grotesquely into a haunting visage of decay, before abruptly fraying to a pile of fur and fangs that marks the spot of his death like a silhouette.

Cash hunting and destroying the little bit of coin influx we do have.
