correct. There are not one but TWO quests in pandemonium that are fully repeatable to earn a bit of money so you can teleport and buy scrolls.

All MMOs have money sinks so they can tune inflation. The product is not faulty, it's literally by design so the economy doesn't spiral out of control. One can "disagree" with the design, or not like the design, it's in no way shape or form a "bug". (which is when code doesn't behave the way we intended) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_sink Anyway an easy way to remedy high inflation is to increase the supply (improve drop rates). If the market is flooded with manastones, then you won't care if it takes 100 to socket your piece because they'll be fairly low priced. If you want to remove a money sink out the game, know that what they'll do is just add another that might be even more egregious. And I remember Plumes, bracelets, accessory enchanting, wing enchanting, stigma combining and other nightmares that came later in game... that were all far worse than manastone sinks. TL:DR yes please increase drop rates

Honestly this has been an issue for as long as Aion has been Aion. There is usually more Elyos and they are stuck waiting forever for pvp instances. Meanwhile as an asmo, I queue anything and get insta-pop. It would have been nice if they could have just allowed same-faction dredg if there is no enemy of other faction for like 10 minutes, but it could lead to undesirable behavior (queuing mains against alts late into the timer and deciding who gets to win)

I was exaggerating of course it was more than 5 but it wasn't "many" by any means. We had way more last week. I think it was about 10k per person without double AP. Maybe a bit more.

I don't mean to sound snarky, but how is everyone having Miragents/Fenris going to give more longevity to the game? Doing the fenris/mira quest past the HHoM only takes about a week or two. But you have successfully removed another long term goal from everyone. (trying for pants). I mean, you had it all done tomorrow morning, would you really feel more motivated to play the game?

You should have seen the Asmo side. While Elyos break 3 gates, Asmos break 1. There's 0 alliances. Just 5 guys beating on the door for AP. Last week after Elyos bailed (after only 10 minutes, I still had my second Xform ready and no one to kill), asmos just flew around mindlessly. Could have regrouped at tried the deity but no one even 'wants' to.

NC increased drop rates of medal from fort instances during this drop rate event so this has helped a lot and the situation improved. Yeet! It allowed my crewmates and I to finish our 50es THANKS NC!

May I add another issue is that a -significant- portion of our players are EU and can't participate in half the content? Can't we have another tiak window earlier in the day? Sieges a bit earlier? Even for east coast NA.. divine from midnight to 1am is maddness

it's like 30 event token for one gold medal. It's pretty bad.

Yeah so I haven't seen Quartermaster on my main for 2 months and I do 2 dredg a day. >_> The spawn rate of Quartermaster is pretty bad. I'd love for it to be there more

Greetings! Currently on asmo side there are only 3 gold medals on the broker. There very rarely are more than one page. Many people who had huge stacks of medals are pretty much done with these. It's been a steady decline since defense no longer gives medals and only offensives. I am delighted to see forts flip as much as they do, however, it feels like the amount of AP earned far surpasses the ability to spend said AP due to lack of gold medals to go around. Compounded with the fact that we have had some double AP events (and will have more), I can only foresee this not improving. Would it be possible to adjust medals earned during sieges or fort or pvp instances? : ) Thoughts?

Forthyn? where have you beeeeen!

I would totally be in favor of everything being rescheduled 2 hours earlier. I'm east coast NA, which also makes a big portion of what players we have, and even for us this is insanity. Divine from midnight to 1am was really rough. (because you aren't even "in bed" by 1am if you attend). Many sieges are at 11pm. I don't know about you guys, but 11pm sieges are rough just the same. Specially if you wanna finish dredg after. And nevermind the "2am" dredg at all. That one is completely out of reach even for half the NA population. Let our EU players enjoy themselves and run Tiak! And let the East coast people not have to siege at crazy hours
