When PL hits PC....

**MoarPewPew** · 12-02-2010, 08:45 PM

Already I am thinking gold farming companies may also join the world Alterra. I think the reason we have not seen them yet is because this is presently a mobile game.
If a mmo has trading and or auction house then we maybe endangered to this.

I have played many MMORPG games and I have left a few due to the gold spammers.

So, will the game client on the PC have an anti hacking software intergrated with the client?

Also since making an account Is free, they could make servrel accounts and have an ip converter/scrambler to avoid blocked access.

Just thinking of the future.

As always I never doubt the STS abilities. You all are very creative and intelligent game designers. I just want to let them know my past experience with Mmorpg I find these evil gold companies ruin my game experience.

meh considering that there is no plat conversion and hence no real money tradeable in game not really worth it.

**MoarPewPew** · 12-02-2010, 09:20 PM

Cough* plat can be converted to gold...

Trust me these illegal companies are Aggressive.

**Arterra** · 12-02-2010, 09:21 PM

I understand, and if plat can be used to buy gold... It sets the gold farmers companies prices to be cheaper than the plat prices. The scammers will come.

Trust me I've seen it in many PC Mmorpgs.

have you SEEN the prices on gold transfusion?? anyone willing to pay that kind of money will be doing us all a favor as free funding. then the devs find out (i mean who else mass buys plat-gold?) and ban for this 3'rd party usage. free monies!!!11!

**MoarPewPew** · 12-02-2010, 09:31 PM

Trust me... It's not good... Economy falls, game looses profit, people get banned and scammed.

And I still don't think you know I'm trying to say.

Those gold farming companies sell items, or gold that they profit from (sales in auction house) and sell it to people for real money.

**Arterra** · 12-02-2010, 09:35 PM

THE POINT is there is no real profit to be made with current system. the costs of buying gold are tremendous and there are already people who basically farm nonstop. ALL ITEMS WILL ONE DAY LOSE VALUE and frankly i wouldn't mind seeing low cost armors.

devs, you got the speech on why we dont have gold-plat transfer right? I cant remember it word for word, so we need it from you.

**MoarPewPew** · 12-02-2010, 09:44 PM

Well that's all i am gonna say for now... And trust me, when the PC version comes out... Be alert lol

I think I get what you are trying to say, but find still find it unlikely. Currently, The only thing to do when you cap out is farm, and by purchasing all of your weapons, you leave yourself with nothing else to do. Besides that, I don't see how giving my buddy 5 bucks in the real world for a sword is going to collapse the economy. It would be a closed trade between myself and him. As for starting a company to do this, we have report buttons and messages aren't allowed in the auction house, so it would be an extremely exclusive underground black market. I don't see that type of operation getting very far. Can you explain this more?
Perhaps I'm just ignorant because I am here to play the game, not buy and sell items for in or out of game money.

This game isnt popular enough, and most of us Cbf writing bot scripts.

Ive done my share of RWT, but id like this to be the game i dont buy with real money xD...

Plus pc has an unfair advantage. Pvp will go to people using pc's. Phone users will become second rate in POCKET Legends

Whats the big fuss about? I believe there are already cases of players buying gold / equipment with real money. When ao3 first released someone offered me around 30 USD for 1 million gold. It was casual chat and the player was a level 1 (maybe someone's mule). I ignored him though, thinking its probably someone who wants to get me banned. But I'm sure this black market transaction goes around from time to time.

To the devs:
Why not just allow players to buy all the high end rares with plat? Or make gold purchases with plat more attractive? That way you can curb this black market transaction and generate more revenue. Dont worry about oldies quitting because of this system, cause oldies dont buy that much plat anyway. You need new players who are poor in game, interested to play but cant spend hours hogging the game, and have a few credit cards.

Try putting up a Power Armor for 100 or 150 plat. There will be lots of players (new and old) buying it, rather than spending hours/days farming overlord with no success.

I think that the pc and iPhone will not be able to run on the same servers (different wifi connection types I think).

It would work if both the device and the pc were hooked up to the same wireless network, however that's not an mmo, that would he home computer and device hooked up to home computer network. I don't think you can get a mobile device and a pc hooked up to the same global wifi network.

Trust me Arterra he has a great point.. 1 million gold in runescape is a hell of a lot of money but yet is only worth 5 bucks in real life money.

Platinum wont be used to convert into gold and sell for cash. Companies will just farm it themselves and sell it cheaper then conversion (They hire nerdy little kids with no money and pay them like 10% of the profits they farm)
