Price comparison of Korea and EU

  • Dear Gameforge & Bluehole - if you didn't notice it yet this game is still completly fucked up. Our economy is completly destroyed thanks to years of exploiting and people not getting banned or punished for it. There are several stories of people exploiting Azart Hatchery for thousand of infusion items, people fish-botting on several clientless accounts, people using skill-replacer on Ninja/Sorc/Valkyries to farm dungeons on several accounts, people exploiting their pets to reduce the cost of making one by 50%, people duping scrolls for rerolling the stats on gear, people duping diamonds or Sea of Honor Voyage Maps and many other items. And pretty much nothing has been done against it - it took several months or even years to fix these known exploits (some still are being abused to this day btw) and thanks to your incompetence our ingame economy is completly fucked.


    Just wanna show some screenshots about the prices of certain items in Korea compared to Europe.

    The last Screenshot is the biggest joke overall. Those are the scrolls that have a 100% chance to add one stat to your gear. In our region they cost 800k gold while in Korea you can buy them for literally only 3k :elin15: also in Korea you can buy improved feedstock for like 100-200g each while here in EU it costs around 4-5k gold.



    When will you guys finally realize how unplayable this game has become? There is pretty much not even a single player left anymore that doesn't throw their money at your cash-shop or that did not exploit any of the mentioned stuff above. For any normal ethical F2P-person this game has become completly impossible so it isn't really surprising that the players that are left are literally feeling forced to either p2w their gear or just try their best to benefit from the (still not fixed) exploits and buy gear from other people that had to p2w it earlier aswell. There is nothing else to do if someone is still interested in the basic idea of playing and somewhat enjoying Tera. You have no other option anymore - either you p2w or you exploit gold to buy it from other players.

    Done.

  • You did a great job man!

    I was wandering since summer 2020 when this option change scrolls had been added why it had so big price...

    This (change scrolls) is really useless the part of game here on EU because it is overpriced (what means you cant easy get it in game). looks like Korea have tonns of them something in drop or anything else.


    For sure game economy is completely awful at this part...and im sure other parts will show us probably the same picture...


    They must do something because Free to play game becomes impossible to play for free (using legal methods) at all...so they have a "players loss spiral" right now i think. And im sad, because i like this game.

  • Tera needs economy restart (like introducing platin and make gold useless) + efficient Bot and Bug prevention.

    EDIT: Also this process has to happen in all regions at the same time to prevent abuse of knowledge that things like this happen, otherwise there will be huge gap between ppl again

  • totally agreed.

    :stick:

  • I guess you really can't get a Tob post without there being Pepega shit all over it huh?

    1. EU economy is not fucked, it's just a different server with different events/cash shop.
    2. Korea has had the patch for longer so of course price is gonna drop for scrolls
    3. Korea's cash shop has some really cheap stuff with good drop rate for scrolls (much like EU's upgrade material box)

    "There is pretty much not even a single player left anymore that doesn't [...] or that did not exploit any of the mentioned stuff above."
    4. You talking about yourself here? trynna make yourself feel less bad about cheating?
    5. Most of the exploits you've mentioned here are either fixed or has extremely low benefit. The blatant cheat ones are fixed and meme <insert skill here> isn't profitable because the dungeons don't drop anything.

    Just go next, you're too uneducated to start a topic on this.


  • 5. Most of the exploits you've mentioned here are either fixed or has extremely low benefit. The blatant cheat ones are fixed and meme <insert skill here> isn't profitable because the dungeons don't drop anything

    Removing the feature is not a fix tho.


    Removing loot from dungeons so others can't cheat

    Removing gold from fishing so bots can't fish for gold

    Removing character based guardian missions so people don't exploit it

    Removing card fusion system after dupers getting their cards in the first day, without removing the duped cards (yes, that was fixed, thank you for making us peasants able to obtain cards too)

    Introducing new items in one patch and making them completely useless in the next, so you are left with outdated stuff and have to go grind someplace where it doesn't drop or has 0.000000000001% of drop.


    Game slowly is removing casual players so that only elite players are left to play

  • Mainly fault on the issue with duppers and cheaters is on the publisher that never takes "severe" action against them. They are so focused trying to milk away all the players they can from their money because they dont see this as a long term bussiness but as a temporary one.

    :elin31:

  • how come there are 128 pages of these scrolls comparing to just 12? If someone is duping we would probably have 200 pages of these items, do we have lower drop rates for these scrolls so we resort to P2W????

  • Yahudii I think we do and the chance to add bonuses might be also lowered, great job tobtheking2 on that find! Good news tho' the weapon bonus (the one that everybody wants) add it's not 800k it's 5 mil:elin15:

  • idk you can't really compare different regions like this since each has their own 'shop/event strategies' and as another person has said, different patches/progression timelines.

  • idk you can't really compare different regions like this since each has their own 'shop/event strategies' and as another person has said, different patches/progression timelines.

    Thats mainly the point though - exactly that shouldn't be the case cause the ingame sources for gold & gearing mats are the same as in Korea. Especially since Bluehole always limits other regions when they wanna add too much stuff into events etc and they justify it by wanting pretty similar or rather almost the same progression for all regions.

    Done.

  • Genuine question: if the price is so low and there are so many tabs, I assume they have a decent source of those scrolls, whether ingame or from the cash shop.

    What is it? How does it work? And why don't we have it?


    On a side note: rerolling jewelry has become basically impossible

  • ...

    Removing gold from fishing so bots can't fish for gold

    ...

    Which was reverted today for some odd reason. Probably NA whining about fishing.
    Hope NA drowns in worthless gold killing their playerbase again so that it can be changed back. I want my multinostrum.

  • If you compare run time of noct and bravery, yes.
    If you are doing try runs and want the benefit of food without the cost of reaplying food every death/wipe. I liked it for that.

    tobtheking2 so, what's the source of scroll in ktera? Why are they so cheap?

  • Cash-Shop afaik so not a great source but it seems that their Shop at least isn't as RNG as ours.

    I mean I would take a non rng shop anytime compared to this bullshit


    I'm not even sure how this is still legal, wasn't the eu discussing about making this rng stuff illegal?
