Don't you know?
Now TERA Pass! is p2w only, it appears only once you swiped for it.
Another point to add in the list on the long mail I'm preparing for GF's HR..
Well Played once again
Dear TruthSedge,
I would cosplay Assazina in this reply but not only I would get banned, but directly sued, so I will try my best to hold on the large scale of compliments you would deserve.
We have witnessed multiple brilliant suggestions coming from you, and this one is the peak.
Owning and taking benefits from TERA CLUB it is accessible to ALL players, p2w or f2p.
Current gear is HARD GATED behind
-1) item level;
- 2) outdated, tedious and unbalanced dungeons;
- 3) ghosting from our publisher that does not address ANY of our needs;
- 4) usual RNG, with awful drop rates and gear materials source;
- 5) regrettable state of the game that makes multiple player leave for other games day after day;
And on top of this, you are suggesting to further limit our access to materials, you truly are a genius.
Let me firstly introduce you to a quick TERA ECONOMY 101.
1) This patch, more than any other, is all about capitalism.
This means, prices are decided by those who are the richest.
2) This patch, has a single big gold sink and few smaller.
Big being the golden cards, extremely large gold sink, and the others being crafting here and there with luxury kits.
Everything else is player A eating gold from player B.
And pure gold sources are nerfed once again during this patch.
In case it is not clear yet, in a gear progression scenario, this leads to rich getting richer and poor getting poorer.
Now, how this leads to the point you made up? So TERA CLUB benefits?
Simple:
Strongbox Key + Frost Flower Treasure = around 75k
TERA CLUB = around 2.2m / 30 days = around 73k
Even though your IQ is certianly high enough, let me clue you in: this translates to one being more accessible that p2w boxes while providing a larger scale of benefits.
With these 73k each day, we are supposed to get value from it, as it was on the last gear's patch.
Now we are getting nothing. And you are suggesting to keep it that way.
How smart, wonderful, beautiful, cunning your suggestion is.
I will end this constructive use of my time by breaking down your latest statements:
[...] it will take 2-4 hours to open all of them since they have 1 minute cooldown, getting complete gear shortly after the change.
You are not familiar with RNG I suppose.
The same change as the Civil Unrest box where old ones are unchanged in drop if they were hoarded.
I suppose you enjoy being a sheep and blindly accept everything they throw at us.
[...] I also have a lot stacked just in case we have the usual 0iq decision making.
This is the worse.
You are even conscious of your argument.
[...] What I'm trying to get at is we have enough gear coming from a p2w box.
Have you ever opened a p2w box? Enough? The amount of materials is a scam even for our wholesome publisher standards.
[...] low loot in dungeons to the point it's a waste of time among other problems can't be solved by this. It's already almost dead on lfg, depends if you want to kill it completely or not.
Oh I see, you want to progress gear without playing the game and without spending gold.
Let me guess, do you also want TERA Classic, right?
Banyaka may not solve the deprecated situation we find ourselves in,
but it might help if managed correctly.
So please, stop flooding this abandoned board with such enlightenments.
P.s.: In case is unclear, replace every italic-bold term with their opposites.
Looks like Gameforge is not interesting in players (clients), because we don't see any reaction from them...
If so - i wondering what the business model they use to get rich?))
Simple.
Disable dungeons first day of the new patch voluntarily, implement loot boxes on cash shop the day before patch.
Rinse and repeat.
Profit.
There are others subtle ways they adopt to get cash, but the list would be too long..
Are banyakas updated? No..Coincidences?
Is playtime event on weekend updated? No. Coincidences?
Is bellicarium shop updated? No. Coincidences?
Gameforge stop to care long before Atmorph abandoned the ship (almost 2 years ago);
but blame those players, who keep swiping and swiping encouraging them to continuosly throwing shit at us that we are so used to eat.
Thread can be closed. I take your silence as admission of aforementioned statement.
Other people that replied to this thread have absolutely zero clue of how the game currently works and blindly shift blame to an absolutely unrelated topic.
Thanks everyone for accepting a large payment to all of those old ghillieglade multiaccount botters which will keep ruling broker with inflated consumables.
"In order to insure healthy economy" we signed a paycheck to botters and multiaccount abusers.
Thank you
For nothing.
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.
Ignorance is bliss.
So you're saying ghillieglade is finally an appropriate content? Nice, keep it like this.
Because the loot is bad if it's not for every character.
Hello Scammers,
with tomorrow it will be 7 days that you're robbing us from:
7 Tera CLUB Supplies boxes
Up to 400 x 23 Coins x 7 days = 64400 Coins
7 Banyakas = Possibly up to either 350 Murky Mathnan Powder, 35 Gleaming Murky Powder, 35 Sparkling Mathnan Powder, 7 Greed Scrolls Token, 14 Mathnan Jewels, 35 Elleons Mark of Valor, 7 Noctenium Refiner, and so on.
I know that your profits are lower than ever, but this doesn't justify playing Gameforge Theft Auto (GTA) with us.
I'm pretty sure we have rights to receive some explanation.
Fun fact:
Tera Toolbox's developers knows more about the game than BH's developers.
Tera Toolbox's community is more helpful and communicative than GF's support team and board staff.
I'm against it; but it's pretty ironic isn't it?
Hello gameforge,
Reading all the latest threads it's only fair to ask the following.
What will happen after gameforge discontinues the "support/publicization" of this game?
Will we be eventually turned into developer's hands in a similar fashion as KTERA after nexon bailed out?
Or you will directly close the servers after a big cash grab move?
Or cash grab first then handing us to krafton?
You can either cry to ghosts or buy the serve transfer and make them happy 
That is a very well made post.
Can't wait to see an official reply from CMs.
Hello,
I suggest to make the item "Adventure Coins (400)" obtained from ghillieglade bankable.
People would complain less about the unreasonable coin costs that comes with the current gear grind;
People would complain less about the failure on starting the long-waited "Entry coin cost reduced" event;
People would complain less about ghillieglade loot being ignored.
I hope to receive an answer, I will accept even a rude one, like
"NO WE WANT PEOPLE TO SPEND MONEY ON TERA SHOP AND BUY THE COINS FROM THERE THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN".
But atleast that would be a follow-up..
Right now the only source of ingots is from players buying p2w boxes
Anyone know who is the boss of the CMs? I want contact him or her
The people I'm going to mention are not their direct bosses, but fore sure the HR department has influence over hiring and firing, source https://career.gameforge.com/
We could actually create a survey about this board management and its CM and forward to them directly:
There are more, just scroll down the link
What's the point of keeping this thread open?
They already "forwarded".
Woah woah what the.. I liked that Buschfunker guy. Guessing they banned him for impersonating forum staff, but that was clearly a joke post.
Hm... what a shame.
Welcome to the board, where censoring people has higher priority than caring about community.
Although priority is not accurate as term because it's supposed to indicate a consequent action after the first one, and here is not the case.
Sadly.
Another well made and well thought post...
...that is going to be ignored.
Since the other "Community Manager" we have doesn't have the decency to even read what he posts, here's the obvious yet untold truth.
