    Default My opinion on shard drop rates

    Your plan was to drop bars and increase shards?
    Well now bar is dropping "a little" and shard is dropping back to its 500k...
    Another problem "arcane" rings are now currently 4m! Tell us was this your plan to drop 2 more items? Now we have a worthless arcane ring and drag bar...
    Shard didn't increase value its going lower and lower

    Nothing is here is worthless.

    Value is derived from utility or usefulness. It may be worthless to people who have multiple of them and can't bear to own an item less than 10m, but for ordinary casual players it's a chance to enjoy gear denied to them for over a year.

    The ring is old now also so it's become more affordable to the masses. Maybe we are gonna need it for the new elites stages.

    Out with the old in with the new

    Arcane ring has had its prime and it's rarity for a long time and people have benefitted a lot from its big stat boost, it's time to let go.

    My point is that how can a player who's just obtained a ring after its price crash complain about the price dropping? I do not see the players who spent 120M for rings complaining. This is going to happen, you have to get used to it, IMO.

    You never know what you can do until you try
    There are two ways of doing something: right, and again.

    After that, ring was still 80M or so. My point is, that he cannot seriously be complaining...

    I must not making my point clear... I'm not here to complain... I don't care to be honest... I'm just trying to make a point in the items. Arcane ring is still dropping... I won't be surprised if by end of this week it reaches 3m. And now theirs a x2 teeth event... Why make everything so easy?

    Now this isnt directed at you or anyone else but....

    Before bad:
    OMG opened 1000 locks and got nothing

    Before good:
    OMG looted shard I am rich

    Now bad:
    Omg opened 1000 locks and looted only a toor, and shard

    Now good:
    Omg opened 1000 locks and looted 7 shards 2 mari 1 fossil 2 toors


    I am not a plat user so I cant sympathize to well with one who spent money on the game for nothing, but at least now if you drop a huge amount of gold onto the game, you get something now.... After all, would u rather loot a shard, or loot nothing....

    It was already ruined when everybody and their mother could get arcanes, so what is the big deal about ruining it more?

    1 week if you're me or a plat spender.

    2-3 weeks for the average player. It's not hard to earn gold.

    Hehe not sure what u mean by "if u are me". With the right amount of plat one could get maxed in am hour . That is the purpose of using plat after all.

    The average player runs elite wilds in 7-10 minutes, which at the moment would give him a bar in 20 hours. Minus expenses that will net him 2.2 m maybe. If the average player plays healthy 2 hours a day ( the average player plays less) she/he will need 50 days of farming teeth with double odds to get an arcane ring and nekro at current prices. I can't comment on average players doing arena, but farming locked will be about the same as the bar. So lets be at least somewhat realistic here.

    The time a new player would need to Max out if he would start today and plays 2 hours a day is 3-4 months at best (unless right amount of plat).

    It is easy to make gold for some. You, I and some others could run arena in 3 rogue parties with a nekro, maridos, singe combo and 30% damage lix and finish runs in under 2:45 minutes regardless of the bosses/environments they get, thus making 0.5-1 m every 2-3 hours the average player can't. So pls lets be realistic . The maxed minority has expanded, but it is nowhere near becoming a majority yet and the road between average and max is still quite long, unless u have the right amount of plat.
