Well I have to disagree on this part, if anyone paid attention to economy class, you'd know that it's about scarcity and demand.
The economy is hyper-inflated yes, due to low population and very few people doing the sub 50 content. Resulting in extremely expensive stuff, especially lv 20-50 stigma's. (sigil of silence 20mil, body root 20mil, curse of roots 7mil).
However, all the bots who can't be bothered to do all the main camp quests to blast to lv 50+, they farm mobs at all levels, resulting in drops to be sold on the broker. Right now, maybe once a week one of the previous stigma's is presented on the broker, can you imagine if there were not bots??? I doubt there would be one of these stigma's once every 2 months. As it currently stands, we need these bots to keep the broker active. Otherwise it would be barren as hell and more would quit. Yes even though these bots have profit in mind, we still need then. Otherwise the server would die.
I agree on the cheaters and such though.
My own confidence has been crushed by the lack of communication from NCsoft, as well as not really having a clue whats going on. I will 100% quit when EU comes out, and probably most of the server. The server is doomed, lets be real, why not cash out on selling Estones and go out with filled pockets.
NCsoft really have themselves to thank, maybe most blame goes to korea, but whatever. GG
Gameforge is a clown company, but at least they communicate and show signs of life.
I had extremely high hopes for NCsoft, but after 2 months, that's all but gone.
