the game needs less loot percentage

[Ilove_Poopoo]

I agree to your argument.
But hear me out in this point of view.

The old gears that have become cheap (death engine etc) will let you complete dm map with good party in about 10 minutes for a party with such equipment.

But these 2-3 minute runs by a majority of people( which the game caters to an abnormal extent . Whales and spenders) , will cause so much gold to be dumped into the game which is going to be a cause for hardcore inflation where all the items are going to be paid 2-3x more in a couple of months.
Example items people farm gold for..ollerus 130-220m..kershal 200-320m Jupiter 80-190m.

And before we put in the time to farm for those mythic weapons, STS would have already released harder content with better goldloot.. Nerfed the previous maps like dm.. And to play those new hard maps, would have released the new arcane gears which is worlds apart from the mythic weapons making them obsolete and make people spend more platinum to get those at microscopic drop rate. And to top it all off, the inflation would be so high that those weapons will cost multitudes of hundreds of millions only for that same percentage of people to buy them and inflate the economy more. Survival of fittest in spending money decides ,that is a worse way for an mmorpg to gain or keep it's player base..or even to not chase away the lower group.

This is a rat race that is only making the rich people decide the fate and as I said the bang to buck for normal - rich level players not worth at all.
The mythic equipment released is on another level compared to the arcane death weapons.
And is locked behind money making schemes.
There's no way a f2p can keep playing at this rate of inflation and how MUCH it favors the p2w group.

Returning to my first post, I stated that inflation will affect vanities but not gear. As for new arcane gears, it's to be expected that the latest arcane gear will be expensive at first, as it has always been the case with previous expansions - but, just like how the new 81 mythics peaked at 200m for the staff, but after just two events and a month later, they're now down to 80m.

So, once again, expect all of the new arcane stuff to significantly drop in a few cpl of events.

In response to the sudden inflation of those aforementioned vanities, well, that's from all the farming players who stopped farming after the EvG nerf and shifted their expenditures to vanities. But those are now stabilizing and slowly dropping again, and with the upcoming awakening event, expect all of those to drop down again as they always do.

Also, a team with only lv76 death engines gears can finish DM in 3-4 minutes, not 10 minutes, if they know how to run it efficiently in terms of clearing their own mob group.

But returning to my first post again, inflation rates should definitely be alot lower, now that Evg is nerfered and the fact that there are alot less gold farmers today than there were before the expansion. I keep track of the gold I farm everytime evg/dm opens up. And can tell that I am earning less than half in a month to what I used to earn before expansion.

The only threat I see for the new and mid-low class communities is if DM is nerfed. Because doing so essentially deprives them off their steady income, and they will have no backup when that goes away as well. I agree with that portion of your post.

As for the best gears being behind paywalls. As much as I hate this as you do, but realistically they definitely are struggling to payout their upkeeps.

Evidently enough they've offered 40% plat sales twice this year and 3x plat offers. Both of these were never done before, and which I think why they are struggling and are desperate.

But so far they've done a step to the right direction with those legendary sets, very new player-friendly. I expect more of these to come as well as new craftable gear components + spirit gear to keep everyone occupied.
