    There are maps for lock farming like jarl was.
    It's already very easy to lvl to 41 within 3 hrs by simply doing storyline.. then only doing daily will take you to max cap in few days ..

    You could be a cartoonist.

    On a more serious note to partially re-word your premise, there is no outlet for casual players to earn gold. Farming crates in KM3 satisfied those who play the game in short bursts due to a limited schedule. I combined farming crates with farming xp, and it helped me tremendously getting from level 46 to 56 last season. I don't see grinding xp as fun, unless i can make a steady income off of it.

    I dont find the harder maps in AL to be fun, as it's just a bunch of insta-kill enemies, which doesnt tie well in a button mashing game such as this. I enjoyed the hack and slash aspect of the game that i had in the watchers, kraag, and kraken tombs/mines, and for them to be made irrelevant is what took away my drive to play.

    Agree. Sts should bring back the lockeds not only to km3, but to all the maps. All these maps atm can be considered useless for endgame players since there is almost nothing of value to gain there. And I would also like to remind STS that by removing the lockeds from these maps, new players have to struggle a lot more compared to the past. And when new players have a hard time with making any financial progress, they are more likely to leave the game early. The result of this is a possible declining playerbase what could result in the end of AL.

    Wasn't the complaint about prices of things? Waterfall of crates will just increase prices more and was that not the original complaint? Or is the answer to price inflation additional price inflation??

    Leveling is very fast these days and you get free equips and pots. There is even a new way to earn gold: Forgotten Ruins. Just do the quests, do a bit of crafting or sell jewels or even get Massive Twilight Crates.

    Or is it just that learning new ways is difficult for new (or is it old?) players?

    I don't think complaints about prices caused sts to kill km3. I believe they were looking at how much money comes into game from where, and then saw many of us ( incl me then) living in the mines.
    I do remember ppl complaining that they were "slaves" in the mines because there were no other good maps for noobs to come up in. Which is more of a comment on the game as a whole then, than it is about km3 imho

    I'm a 35 year old who is married with 2 kids. I have spent maybe $100 in three years, so no not a rich kid.

    Some people drop $50 on Xbox games that last a few months. $50 on this game buys quite a bit of fun. That's my point.
    And if everyone had your attitude there would be no Arcane Legends!!

    I'm a college student, no income..playing one year now for fun..I've spent 0 real money to buy in game resources..I used my brain to merch and had farmed hard to earn gold. I've started having capital for merching in tombs through farming locks..But now, the farming fun in tombs is gone..Now you have to be max lvl to earn big amount of gold...And new players would suffer how to earn gold without spending real money..Either they beg or scam to earn easy gold...

    LOL you're old enough to undertand the real point...You even have kids now...Now I tell you, if all people have an attitude like yours who are willing to spend thousands for a game, world will suffer more in poverty..Spend real money to survive in real life, not to be OP in game..Just play for fun.....period...

    This game wouldn't even be here if it wasnt for(now i could be wrong) many many many young adults spending some cash on PL.


    Btw fantasy games (99.99% could fall into this category)are a multi billion dollar industry thats thriving.

    In almost every live game(updates weekly, its the most you will prolly see for mobile) we need a premium consumer to fund the ongoing construction of the game or the company would have to have backup capital.

    He is right, without plat buyers this game wouldnt be.sts has to eat too!they need their strength to deal with the forumers .

    When boohgey gets that first job/paycheck: "Buying locks need many".

    No but i love your art boohgey, im just trying to defuse this little situation we got here...

    Btw ive made over 5k free plat since my account created, they work done correctly. We used to have to buy maps with plat in early PL days! Some people couldnt even go to the consignment shop if they didnt purchase it(15-20plat? Cant remember). It could have been like that in Arlor . Done rambling -_-

    Thank you for your patience and time.

    This game MUST motivate new and old players to spend real money. That is the only way it survives. My MBA taught me that. I'm glad you are smart enough to play the game without spending real money, but you have to be the minority for the system to work.

    I was excited when I bought my first arcane egg (maridos) All thanks to Km3😃. Took a lot of work but it was worth it. Sad to see Km3 die like it did. 😞

    I am in no way putting you down and understand what your saying. I don't want to argue, just offering my opinion. I agree there should be a balance so new players don't get frustrated because that's not good for the game either.

    Nerf gold loot frm maus maps back to what arena is this season.

    More items, less buyers.. Price decreases, thus so called newbies happy.

    I mean really man. All r taking the game nd devs for granted. Its a grt game till date. I have played different games bt always came back to AL.

    Btw abt newbies, if they beg around in town, nd dont run maps. They deserve to stay in poverty.

    Atm its super easy to make gold. And newbies dont need alot of gold to start.

    All quests frm lvl1 to lvl61 give out alot of gold to buy gears. New players get gear kit. Like what they need more?

    Play for abt 1-2 month nd u can be in par with old casual players.

    Gud gears r cheap atm. Op stuffs r lit expensive bt its reasonable. No newbie is meant to get heroic /arcane pet in less than a month, bt still they can get if they play effectively.

    I too started from nothing, but it was a start. Currently mauso drops lots of gold! Even if you farm runes it's good cash flow at the moment.

I never stopped farming because i had a goal. I always tell myself i will be strong enough to last longer in maps and i did I may not be one of the richest players in AL but im not poor So if your a newbie just work hard enough and you could be as good as them
    Thanks for sharing yur story rai :-) my point is just..It's not that easy to earn gold in game anymore especially if you're not lvl61 ...I just pity those newbies

    The worst is seeing those noobs who get tricked into buying the 250 plat insta-level to 57 that gets shoved in your face on the start screen, in town, and in the beginning areas. Imagine entering the world as a 57 with what you think is an op set then joining the world map area with a recommended lvl for 57... then get destroyed over and over and over...
