PREVIEW: Pocket Legends Guild Event - "The Mad Mage's Castle!"

[Draebatad]

There is no argument that can go against what he said about gold going into a void

Not to mention other causes of gold disappearing from the game, such as through bans, acct deletions, dormant accounts and gold hoarders who refuse to spend more than "pennies". That's potentially somewhere in the many billions.

You are making the argument of the investor... Deflation helps new players afford gear, yes old loyal players get the shaft as far as their item value is concerned. But in my opinion it's much more important to keep new players geared and have an active community than an item i have in my inventory not losing "value" that has always been subject to supply and demand anyway.

Oh look... the person that quoted me and disagreed with the same post they later quoted in support of... fancy seeing you here to disagree lol

This isn't the great depression this is pocket legends. To put it simple everything will lose its value drastically and nobody will want to sell their items cheaper because they aren't aware or haven't caught on to the fact it takes a really long time to farm gold and not long to drop it into a void.

Actually PL stocks have taken a toll all items decreased a quite so good amount

THERE IS NO DEFLATION HERE LOL. They are simply stating that gold is just going to disappear into the ether. They arent making cases for prices on items at all. They are talking about how if this event has people spending gold on items people WANT. The gold just disappears into the ether just like when you buy potions. They want to know if there will be anything in game for gold to be put back in game that way people arent just trading items for items. Gold for items is much easier and less of a chance of scamming especially at high tier items.

Notice the prices have been posted. Very fair prices IMHO. However yes, there's potentially many hundreds of millions about to disappear from the game as the prize vendor sells us his goods.

You should read the post that started the conversation before telling someone someone else wasn't saying something they said.... with me so far?

That being said, this is clearly another case of "jilsponie posted something and i don't like them so i have to go disagree"

If players cannot afford the gold prices for the Prize Vendor, I do hope their Guilds will help them out :-)

Mr. Cinco, would you be able to clarify if this is no longer a single guild event for access to the vendor? Your sudden plural use of the word guild last night begs this question. Thank you.

Seems to me any guild could win, as long as they play and play and play. Regardless of current leaderboard status... It's more of an activity challenge? I can see a guild not even on the top guild board having a chance at it. Is it just me?

Drae why do you all of a sudden have a change of heart if any guild can win?
Is it because you no longer have the most memebers so you are at a disadvantage?

Scroll back a page or two, you'll see the answers you seek. Have a nice day.

This may just be the dumbest thing I've ever read on the forum

Jils is referring to a gold sink which is often necessary for mmo's.
That said the only ones in any position to judge the economy in pl are the devs, players can only guess

[Cinco]

Gold sinks are good policy for maintaining a balanced economy. Pocket Legends has very few gold sinks and an abundance of gold faucets. As a result, we have inflation (in some instances it’s hyper-inflation).

The Guild Event is a gold sink. It’s not particularly aggressive but it will have an impact on merchant players operating at various points along the trade spectrum.

One Guild wins.


I believe that Guild should make every effort to compensate every player who helped get them across the finish-line.

So any player that comes back and has, lets say 500m in gold. He now has the advantage over everyone else? Lol gg

But he also probably lost alot in item value... and if it's an "advantage" they worked for they kinda deserve it imo lol

It's basic economics like i was saying before. Pl is 8 years old. I didn't HAVE to farm again until recently, I've been comfortably well off since 76 cap when starry was 3-8m and savage sets costs 3.4m. If iy wasn't for me spending so much on enchantments i probably still wouldn't be farming lol

I want to thank Cinco and the Sts team for this event.

You all listened to us and have given players an opportunity to get the elite weapons and amulets for pl gold. Not all players have access to plat for various reasons.

You introduced a most beautiful highly anticipated white dragon vanity.

You even added a new vanity to farm and items that where difficult to drop, amulet and weapon crafting componets all for free.

Despite all the opinions of this event, personally I appreciate all your hard work for making this for PL. The game is so active and we all are buzzing with excitement for this event.

It certainly has bought the PL community together for a common goal.

Btw, i notice we will be eligable to have a chance at crafting materials. Can we also get a chance at rings seeing as there is also a shortage of those that ive only seen drop in maxx cave? Had some friends cap 30+ toons and seen between 5-7 drop on all those.

Giving away some more pricey items, let's hope they don't spend it all in one place.

Well said. This event has the game BOOMING and players on their toes. Can't wait to get started in this competition, and I'm sure many can agree with that.

You mean it has put one guild against the rest of the community? Literally PC gained 1k members in 3 days just because of this event. This is a divisive event. This isnt "bringing the community together for a common goal" if the whole event is a winner take all.
