Hello,
This is but the n-th post about current cash shop situation.
Quoting our CM , in regard of what happened few months ago:
Display MoreDear players,
we would like to share more information with you about this emergency maintenance and the reason behind it:
Unfortunately, due to an error with the Vanguard Event settings this morning, players were able to farm a high amount of gold and items in a very short timeframe, and this severely disrupted the in-game economy.
In order to ensure a healthy economy for all our players, we decided to roll back the servers to the state they were before the event had started (9 AM CEST/ 3 AM EDT).
- This means that any progress made between the start of the event and the time of the maintenance (approx. 2 hours), will unfortunately be lost.
- Items that were purchased during this time will be back in the item claim and can be reclaimed.
- Newly created characters during this timeframe will need to be created again.
- Any characters that were transferred between servers during this timeframe, will now be back on the original source server. If you are affected by this, please contact our support team with all the details and they should be able to help you.
Once the servers are back online, we will inform you in this thread.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and long downtime caused by this situation.
The TERA team
I would like to highlight this statement:
In order to ensure a healthy economy for all our players.
To raise this question that is going to be ignored:
How is the economy healthy when you cause inflation yourself?
In cash shop now we can find 2 items that were previously farmable in absurd quantities:
Combat Accelerator Potions and Strong Canephora Potion.
They have been removed from loot since years, but they have always been usable.
How can the economy be healthy if there are people sitting on 10'000 of said consumables which are now only P2W?
Now I suggest 2 solutions, to maintain your beloved profit intact:
1) Forbid their utilization in leaderboard dungeons, same treatment as buff food event;
2) Create 2 separate ITEM ID for these Cash Shop version and make all the old one NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
Now Gameforge, you can silently ignore this issue again and again but this attitude calls a statement:
Behavior that does not agree with what someone claims to believe or feel.
Definition of hypocrisy.
