Anyone else agree with me that the prices of gear are just out of control? There's absolutely NO REASON, why anyone should be paying 60bil mesos for a dang piece of gear. The 1bil coin has RUINED the economy and we're just okay with it? Nah, I'm not okay with this at all. And I knew a fair amount of fellow maplers who are NOT OKAY with this. We really need to do something about this and sort it out becuase it's just getting far too out of control. The heck are you going to do with that much mesos anyway? Just sit on it and boast? Nah. To the haters, you're the problem. You're the reason for this insane inflation and the reason why it needs to be sorted out.
What specific gear? Attack gear has mostly stayed the same price/gotten cheaper. It hasn't inflated cause it's give or take 1-2b within the same price of attack gear 1 year ago. In-fact, capes are cheaper than before because CWK tanked the value of lower/medium attack capes under the attack of 18. Bilcoin has helped limit inflation, we needed a meso transfer system that wasn't just Chaos/White Scrolls. If they didn't come out CS/WS might be over 650m atm. 18attack cape: 2015: 27b sb https://royals.ms/forum/threads/s-18-attack-pink-gaia-cape.39201/ 2019: 29b sb https://royals.ms/forum/threads/sel...-i-will-expose-you-bid-closes-2-hours.124891/
I mean.. you can make a bil in a day easily, and I don't see very many items going into the 10's of billions unless it's a hard-to-acquire item that has crazy RNG put into it (PGCs, SCGs, FS). It's not unreasonable that you should have to grind for a long time for the best gear in the game, it is at its heart a Korean MMO afterall. If you're even thinking about going after BiS gear, you're obviously invested in the game, and want to find the most efficient way possible to make mesos. I've never played an MMO where RNG BiS items are cheap, WoW, GMS, MapleRoyals, they all have stupidly expensive items that reflect the time/resources needed to get said item I'm not a "hater", I just don't think it's that bad given the options you have to make mesos and the amount you can make in the first place. Like the person above me said, the prices have been relatively the same for years
Son, sit down before you seriously hurt yourself. I don't think you understand how basic economics work if you seriously think the 1B Coin is the reason for what you say a "ruined" economy.
I agree with the prices of certain items can be ludicrous. I can also see the side where you should work towards/ earn your gear. It is a "Free" Market so prices can be a bit out there. Some of the gear that is being sold for is pretty up there when it comes to mesos. I am curious what people think generally of this topic. I do believe all criticism should be constructive so I respect the posts that make their points come off clearly. Saying someone doesn't understand and they should "sit down" doesn't help anyone. Help them understand your perspective instead of pushing it off to the side and waiting for like minded people to back your point.
End game gear will be a lot. Most players, myself included, don’t have a single item of gear worth 60b~ People using 60b~ gear have been here for 3years+ or potentially been here for around 6 months and play the wallet class like a lot of these pre-6 month 20kHp+ NL players. The server retains a good player rate even though they’ve been here for over a year. Most high rate servers people quit after like 2weeks because they hit most in-game achievements. Royals is about progression, not the end game. It takes dumb long to hit end game. The statement @Prideful made I think is warranted. The OP sounds like basically if you have high valued gears you’re a fucking boomer and get a life. There are rarely any shortcuts on this server, unless you win every GM event like @Reaped or play with your wallet like @Kermes.
Inflation? Most items actually decreased in price past year (htp, bfury, cilbi, atk capes, many chairs, 60% scrolls etc) Where the inflation at? I don’t see any.
