At this point I dont think you know how carrots on a stick work now

Even when you entered serious mode you still do not get it. If I were to take a jest that was turned into serious but understanding that you cannot understand a serious jest, are you telling me that people would shut down and stop playing if they had to start playing the game?

Yup, now you are getting it. Watching people glaze over the game time and time again, either by AE farming or speed everything why even? I wanted to enjoy the ride, I wanted to go back. But everyone has their fucking carrot. Bot check: 88% of the time

Because a carrot on a short stick is the point of the thread

INF vendors would do the same

Man, I wanted to reply to Glacier Peak's emoji to describe that Luminara missed the point due to dystopian posting and got this pic instead. Now I am wondering if all you sonsofbitches are bots and I am the last real person on these forums. I refuse to believe there are 10 or more players who thinks about ice and tall rocks this much

So you are going to just ignore the fact that even with another option to get something, the thing you complained about got worse because of the other option?

It might be the 10 year gap between shutdown and now, but was that really homecoming that lowered the prices? I dont even remember 500 merit cost items until that devpost

The pessimist in me said it was a "YOU DANG KIDS" post The optimist in me said that the dev team has merit prices on their radar to lower them even more or give us the option to half merit cost but add inf cost

If I said. if I said.

Because if I gave you a 90% number you would still not believe it and use more buzzwords until I stop replying. Do you wanna drag this out or wanna SKIP a few steps?

This is horrifying. But, speeding Yin for 20% of a special enhancement or 40% of a recipe when you need 64 enhancements (i think) is still just as bad, not counting WST bonus --- I do like however there is an INF component in the older form

Maybe you are on another server, maybe you dont play as much as I do. an extreme amount of people want to skip the game

So instead of having vendors take INF for items to help with the economy, you thought it was HELPING the inf issue back then by making another currency? The INF was still there going into other things or sitting around. Merits made it worse by existing when vendors should have been taking INF

Because there is no reason to kill through or anything else. Which is why the thread. I want to be able to play market crash without 7 other people going off to do their own things. I want to get into the last mission of yin and not see an ATT popup after loading. I want to actually play the game without forcing or kicking people. If you still fail to understand after the editing then i dont know what to tell you. if people want to skip everything what are they getting merits for? to skip other things?

That is incorrect, if the current vendors took INF that inf would just go away out of the economy. Sure I remember the days of a level 10 res/+def all going for 2b+ on freedom. but that was a long time ago. even after adding merit vendors the prices went down, but the inf remained.

You contradicted yourself.

Every MMO has flippers and resellers. Its happening RIGHT NOW for hamis and other stuff we cant get with merits, cant be helped. But this is also counter acted by the seeding of salvage most of the time, which the vendors will replicate. Again, every MMO does this. From Everquest to whatever amazon just did. End game players earn more. Dividing currencies divides the game. I think you have forgotten how fast it is level up. even if you ran reward merit only content you would be 50 before getting 1200 merits (two ato sets). I might even stretch the fact that if someone did a debt only challenge run what I said would still be true

when 99% of the players want to skip the game its time to take a step back and question what we are really doing Strikeout because it missed the point hard

And start using INF for everything. Those two items are driving a wedge in the player base. No one wants to plow through task forces anymore because there is no reason to, and there is no penalty for just grabbing the carrot on the stick and switching alts to do it again. No one wants to leave AE because it is the best form of getting exp. So, just like with seeding the market, there is an artificial cap on the price of some things. Rework how Merit Vendors work and allow players to buy recipes and enhancements for INF. Same thing with the costumes. Now, incase you didnt slam down your pringles can of redbull and start heaving at this point I suggest the following changes: Lower AE INF gain down to 10-25% of regular Increase INF gain in the following: Task forces, lots of variants here. ITF might be the king of INF farming, might not, who knows this wont get past the idea stage Story arcs, even the old devs complained about wanting players to do story arcs Minor boost to Paper/Radio and big boost to Mayhem and Safeguard missions, actually now that i typed this one out people will speed papers/radios to get to mayhems/safeguards shipraids, itrials, the list can go on but i got bored typing

For the pet powers themselves, it reduces the end they spend on attacks I am not noticing any end reduction in the upgrades for pet spending

Lemme put my speed reading course (singular) into practice. So, if one takes Leaping>Combat Jumping, it will also have a Super Jump and Double Jump for free? But I still have to select Jump Attack/Spring Attack at a later time? I can get behind something like this because builds are just so damn tight now

Ever since the patch I am seriously considering using one of the end reduction alphas due to how much pets spend on end now

Does it HAVE to be a Defender? With the recent patch on power level selection you can get the good empath stuff at a lower level as a corr and still have solid damage. Rock/Emp Water/Emp The motherearth puns are there but the rest is on you now

that analogy does not work because of Phantasm existing
