I'm not sure what's in the November 14th patch. If an effective long term mesos sink is already in there, then please delete or close this thread. We need long term mesos sink bad. The economy already recovered the mesos sink from the chair gach probably 3 to 10 folds by now. The ratio of nx generation/sink is severely disproportional compared the mesos generation/sink. This result people with too much mesos in hand, not enough ws/cs to satisfy the demand, and drives the ws/cs prices sky because mesos' continue to lose buying power. We need a effective mesos sink that will entertain new and veteran players long term to balance the nx:mesos ratio. Another short term mesos sink or short term x2 nx voting will not put a dent into the current economy deep enough to make a difference that will last. There are simply too much mesos in floating around. I believe AP reset selling for mesos is a healthy long term solution for the following reasons: Sinking large amount of mesos, and redirect nx going towards gach tickets instead of ap reset. This will increase the supply of ws/cs while increase the buying power of mesos because more mesos are leaving the system instead of going between players. Decrease voting abuse and RWTers. One of the main source of income for vote abuser I believe is selling AP resets, then buy ws/cs to sell for $$$. By making the ap reset available via NPC with mesos, this will discourage such practice. Of course it won't eliminate it, but I believe it will help. AP reset is something that players will buy at all stages of the game. If AP reset is stackable during trade where you can trade up to 900 ap reset (100 x 9 slots), this will be another huge positive feature that will decrease the demand on using ws/cs as currency. Using AP reset as an alternative currency to buy stuff worth more than max mesos will further encourage people sinking mesos to the system on AP resets, therefore increase the buying power of mesos even more. I know people do drop trade on large amount of AP reset transaction, but the hassle and risk of scam will discourage such practice. Ap reset will not make end game weapon easier to acquire like the ws/cs through npc via mesos idea. Also I disagree the argument that HT or APQ will stabilize the ws/cs market back to the old source price. HT and APQ will increase mesos transactions between players, sink mesos sink through tax only. Majority of the mesos will still be in the system instead of leaving the system. On top of that, the mesos sink with tax will not match with the long term/10months reduced NX generation and increased NX sink (no leaf from bosses, and nx sink on merchant shop). Therefore ws/cs will NEVER go back to the old source 300m price if HT and APQ is the only thing added. P.S. If TP rock is available through NX only like the old source, expect the ws/cs price go up even faster because that will be another NX sink we don't need. If TP rock is available for mesos, that'd be great but it is still not enough to balance the NX/mesos ratio. Also if TP rock are purchasable through both mesos and nx. A level limit will need to be in place because vote abusers will buy them for nx and resell for slightly lower than NPC price to avoid the hassle to get their character to lv 50 to abuse nx on gach and ap reset.
WS/CS prices are still trending up. Fast pass and TP rocks will may sink maybe like 3~10m per character per day on average. IMO it is not anywhere close being called an effective mesos sink. The price on the fast pass ticket is too cheap where I rather pay 3m per day and never ride the stinky boat ever for the rest of my life. On the other hand the merchant shop may cost 1/4 of daily nx income (1/4 of 8k is 2k nx for 1 day merchant shop). This is serevely disproportional because people can easily make multiple of 12m per day (1/4 of 12m is 3m for 1 day fast pass), and the nx income is limited to 8k per day. Already saw a few low level characters selling hundreds of TP rocks for 1.2m in fm. Just tested this out on a storage mule in one of my inactive accounts with leftover nx from a long time ago. You can buy 1 TP rock for 500 nx and 6 for 2500nx with a lv 11 character. Took the AP resets and Gach tickets away from the vote abusers/RWTers by putting a lv 50 requirement, then give it right back to them. I suspect the WS/CS prices will go up even faster because the TP rock opened a gateway for vote abusers to gain mesos again, and buying out ws/cs then sell them for $$$ GG AP RESETS FOR MESOS NPC THOUGHTS???
Yay it's patched out <3 Level restriction is now 50. https://royals.ms/forum/threads/new-source-update-46-23-11-2017.109260/ L>AP Reset mesos sink plz
They should not only make AP Resets be sold by Albert, but also make the NX ones (including TP Rocks) to be untradeable. This way, people who doesn't have meso to buy from Albert can do with NX. And who doesn't want to burn NX on those, buy with meso.
I highly encourage a gambling like system, something as simple as a ~Roll(number,number) command can act as a type of meso sink that will stay forever, so many mmorpg games have this and its so easy to make yet I don't know why it wasn't even included in the first place (muh nostalgia), people love to gamble and its a fact, meso changing hands frequently means more taxation, whether or not people choose to use it practically doesn't even matter because there are only benefits. So much fun player interaction can be produced from this, people hosting casinos, fun types of betting, etc.
As far as trading stacks of AP resets goes, there is no way to show the size of the stack when trading AP resets and similar cash items. We tried this during intial testing and it didn't work because of a client limitation if I recall correctly.
