    STS is probably nerfing blessings as we speak.

    Yes, it is time consuming and boring but well worth it for multiple reasons:

    1. Effort is still less than farming
    2. Just initial 5 plat investment/char; none spent on elixirs/revives when farming
    3. Guaranteed daily if you come back on time
    4. Each char also provides storage space and auction slots
    5. Platinum is quickly returned

    I'm tempted to try this but I think STS will change it before I could make my plat back...

    I actually thought of doing this with multiple accounts but it wasn't worth the effort at all, it never occoured to use different toons though :L oh well it's kind of cheating in my opinion anyway.

    Activating the blessing on each toon isn't that bad imo, but running to stash with each one to collect the gold is a pain ... Still worth it...

    its not a bad idea, but you have to spend $50 on it :/
    although it may be worth making 100k per day, would it be worth spending $50 when you can just merch??

    I don't think this little exploit has as much to do with the gold as it does the amount of platinum that could potentially be leeched from this. I had my day 5 today and from 6 toons I received a total of 45 plat and another angry face shield. This is only on 6 toons, not 100 or more. With 100-200 toons the amount of platinum gained vastly outweighs the amount spent to make them. I would put money on the fact that this thread alone will get blessings nerfed, and in my opinion, it should be.

    This is the exact same thing as leeching for xp in a dungeon, or standing in Balefort spamming "Help me, I was hacked, they took everything, pls pls gimme gold and items pls pls pls".

    The above mentioned things also take a persons time to complete, but the vast majority of PL looks down on this type of behavior. It's a cheat, plain and simple. I never understood the concept of cheating or begging for items and currency in a game, makes absolutely no sense to me. Go play and earn something, in fact, it may teach you a little something about real life as funny as that may sound.

    Damn this thread! I was doing this (but with only 10 toons) since 3 days after blessings came. I don't get much gold or platinum, but it takes only few mins per day. Now, because of this thread sts will nerf blessings somehow.

    Max platinum should probably be around 5 plat. And should be very rare.

    In dark legends it isn't as much of a problem because it costs 50 plat to create new toons. Since plat is not transferable, there isn't much incentive to create a ton of separate accounts.

    Pl isn't sts's only game though so giving away plat in one game to me doesn't look like it matters much. It's not like sts is losing money over this cause people still buy plat in sl and dl. Plus al is coming soon. I don't think the blessing system will be in al. I'm pretty sure people are gonna buy more plat in al when it comes out so like I said, sts isn't losing money over this. I don't think the blessings should be nerfed. Not everyone in pl has 30m.

    I'm pretty sure that STS wants to make profit off of something that they have made, the more money the better for them and us. Pocket Legends gets better because they work on it and they work on it because Pocket Legends makes them money.

    Also a potential fix that doesn't ruin the whole system would be to limit the amount of plat you can get. Only the first toon that receives the blessing has a chance to get it. As for the gold, if someone has 200 toons and has the time and effort to go through and get blessings everyday and then walk to the stash to stash it (on every toon) then they probably deserve the money for all the time they spent...

    You must give millions of gold every week to beggars in Balefort....

    Just because someone is pathetic enough to stand there and beg doesn't mean they deserve free gold for their time standing there annoying other players.....

    I don't see the relevance of someone begging and annoying people compared to collecting blessings on your own for hours on end...

    Maybe STS put these daily blessings up as a test. To see if their profits were affected and whether or not it should be added to AL.
