Big concerns with the new Gold and Items economy

It will feel a bit like a rant but the goal is to give you honest and brutal feedback on how a lot of OGs feel right now.

First things first

This update is freking awesome. There is no questionning that. The team worked hard and delivered on a ton of promises. Yes ther eare bugs, it can be slow at time but overall the experience is much better. So thank you and kudos to the team.

Gold and easy reources issues

The concerns are with the economy and how it impacts existing players who spent 100s of hours in the game and sometimes hunders or even thousands of $$$ in resources.

Clearing the desert biome gives you so much gold and so many resources that it makes it trivial and easy to get what used to be end-game materials and gear.

On top of that, you reduced the material costs of crafting most of the end-game gear:

• Starvewe fabric is now very cheap (it used to cost 16 Terras - dozens of hours of grinding)

• Obisidian plates are now so cheap (it used to cost 16 obsidian - even more hours of grinding)

• Chronmosteel Greatsword used to cost 40 Terra Ores. Now it is so cheap, anyone can get it

• All the materials drop rates have drastically increased: it is now easy to get Terra, Obsi, Chronosteel, Eclipsilk… It is now very easy to get a lot of those.

The combination of those factors feels a bit like a spit in the face of all the people who bought an appartment, invested time and $$$ in the game to grind. All the OGs out there who kept grinding, slowly getting to the end-game gear and slowly stacking what used to be valuable resources.

Now a 12 year old with a free account can get there in a week.

Those resources are not valuable anymore and all this time and money spent on collecting it has been wasted. Especially now that anyone can play for free.

It feel a bit like we’ve been given a middle finger to prioritze the F2P players.
