EZ Server

There are 3 core keys to avoiding nerfs on this server.     

First, never tell Chunka anything.   Once Chunka learns of a strategy he will inform the whole server.   As we all know, once the server knows then a nerf will soon follow.   This rule cannot be stressed enough, it is like not feeding gremlins after midnight.   It is paramount that Chunka always be kept in the dark.

Second, if OH8 is ever in your instance, play like a nublet.   Make the game seem really hard.  Intentionally mess up, wipe if you have to.   This rule is tough as some of us have an epeen so big you can see the bulge through our plate mail.

Third, and unfortunately this is a bit out of our control, keep Fugi from maxing out.   Fugi is a good player and has a knack for finding the easy path to end game.    The thing is,  his ego is the size of his epeen and he wants to be the man.   That being said, he will use the tools he has identified to get him to end game.    Once done, he will inform OH8 that said tools need a nerf.    In this respect he is like Wormtongue sitting at the side of the King of Rohan feeding him verbal spew that will make the server suffer.


There you have it, 3 keys to avoiding nerfs on EZ.

I don't understand the problem.

You can make 20mil a day? so can everyone else farming T9, which is apparently a significant portion of the server. Everyone who wants to buy the best stuff has the same amount of plat, sounds balanced.

I'm derping around in TOFS2-3 and HoH. I'm lucky to make 200k per day in normal plat / item drops; selling the occasional rainbows and ungodly-rare gemstones make a really nice extra income for those of us who can't farm T9.

I’m not really convinced the trickle down effect really works

It works great :) those that have, continue to have. Those that dont, dont :)

Trickle down does not apply here.  In a nutshell, the theory behind trickle down is that those with excess plat would generate businesses and thus employ those without.     Does not really apply to EQ. 

So, if I received tax breaks on my millions (or simply had to pay less) then I could afford to invest more into my business and employ more people. 

Those with excess plat (T9ers) are generating businesses and employing those of us lower down. It's called, "wtb CT essence" or "wtb gsoa". It's an at-will employment, i don't have to sell to you. but hell, if I can clear CT once and earn 2mil for my trouble cuz some T9er doesn't want to take the same amount of trouble, I'll do it. No one's making you spend that much either: you can buy it for the going rate, try to find someone who doesn't know what the going rate is and rip them off, or choose not to and instead farm them yourself.

At the top level, it's all related rates. If they drop plat in T9 by 50%, things will eventually see ~50% drop in prices. Yeah, I guess that will help people lower in progression who want to buy CT essence (and other stuff), but I'm not aware of such people existing...

For example.  Let's say you need CT essences to aug your group.

T9 folk don't want to farm CT essences they stink.  They are willing to now pay 750k per essence due to abundance of plat.

If you were to buy 2 it'd cost you 2 weeks of income, vs them it's 20 minutes.

Everything goes up across the board.

So this guy is complaining he makes too much plat and there's guys out there who complain about a 8m GSoA when they are for sure the top 10 players ( leaderboards ) 20m plat a day,  probably not even hard grinding it just chilling people struggle to make even a mill or two a day. How about this have Akkadius or Hateborne delete everyone in t9 plat by 85% and leave everyone elses alone that will help the market. Stop trying to fuck the people that are coming up in tiers all of u end players do that shit, exploit the fuck out of something and then want it fixed.

My identity is to remain to my self. You do not need to know who I am but the words on your screen is what matters more, right?

Now that is laid out let's start off with, I will feel free to do with what I please just as much as you would do the same so don't try to act tough u pest

Also, like I said before you end game players exploit, it gets nerfed, complain, new players starting up have more difficulty than old gamers who went through the content originally

Maslow I agree with these folks although I think you're a cool dude. It's not fair to ask for the change after you've made all the cash yourself.

As for the economy, hiring lowbies to farm CT ess etc. is exactly the same thing as the rich creating jobs in an economy - it's good for both parties.

Also, nearly all Halloween cash was spent on augs right away since augs didn't drop this year.

Regardless congrats on your pile of UWs if you get really bored and rich let me know I'll farm CT ess for 20mil any day ;) I have a hard time keeping more than 5 million on hand as is.

Not asking for a change.   Asking for it to be reviewed to ensure it is aligned with intent vice an oversight.   If it is working as designed, sweet.    It is no biggie to me anyway.    

I had 4 UW's since long before the dailies were introduced and T9 changes occurred.    Maybe since April of 2014.   Took a break before thanksgiving in 2014 and just came back 2 weeks ago /shrug.    Anyway, my gear, my grind time is all irrelevant.    The purpose of this post is to see if it is working as designed or if it is an oversight.  

If it is working as designed, sweet, keep on rolling baby!

not everyone hardcore farms for 10+ hours a day either

They'd still be sold....just differently.

Also I made different paragraphs to make you happy, Rent.

I am a huge advocate for NOT changing shit after a small % of people have already gained from the way it is currently.
