Game is harder than it was at the beginning

Nikki brings this up rather belligerently in the "refund franco" thread and so I'm afraid it won't get the proper respect it deserves there, but point #1 is pretty important. This statement applies to not just int gear, but other scrolls as well.

Players asked here to return the rates to what they were, and while they were raised, they are not what they were before.

This is incredibly unfair to new players, current and future. Many people that were around before the gach revamp now have gear worth hundreds of millions to billions for the sole reason that they were around when shrine gacha was spitting out godly scrolls every other ticket. Frankly, I don't see how new players can ever catch up. You will be incredibly hard pressed see another set of 30+tma earrings, 25int bathrobes, +7 shields, 165+tma elemental wands, +7 dex bottoms, nice WA pink capes, created ever again with the scroll supply as I saw it a week ago. (offered 300m for chaos scroll just before I quit, was declined FeelsBadMan)



The potential of every server lies with how easily it can attract new players. But as it is now, if I were a new, competitive player I wouldn't give Legends a second thought because I would know it would be practically impossible to catch up with the old money.

Sadly, I agree with nikki that there could have been more "economic plan or foresight prior to release". Everyone has the right to start on the same playing field, and that is no longer the case. As it stands now, lest alienate new players, return the rates to what they were before. Unless you wanna wipe the server Kappa

 

Well this conversation is going in the right direction Kappa

 

Sorry Freddychanyo, as nice it is to see optimisim, you won't even get close.

The top guys here have had a chance to throw chaos scrolls on dozens of pink capes, throw dozens of 30's on claws when claw30's were 5m ea, throw dozens of 30s on dozens of BWGs when BWGs were everywhere and GFA30 were 3m each. You my friend, won't get that chance.

 

Well Kimberly, I don't think your official GMS comparison applies here. GMS is the case where old content becomes obsolete. And while this has its own negatives, that actually is probably better for longevity than a server where new content is worthless. GMS never had problem getting new players because at any time you could jump in, blow some cash, and be competitive (could be over-exaggerating, but you get the gist). What I'm saying is that in a server where new players can't catch-up to old players, new players can't find motivation to play.

Alright, the wipe thing was obviously a Kappa, sorry if the Kappa wasn't clearer. There is no need for a wipe on legends. However, to get the facts straight, Royals wiped in September of 2013 because 1) they decided to convert from 10x->4x exp and 2) they went through a gach revamp where chaos/white scrolls were no longer being handed out at extreme rates.

 

The stuff you were getting, while crap at the time, are now worth gold. That is the problem. Bot dex70, shield ma70, shield wa70, oa int30, oa luk30, ear int30, oa str30, oa dex30 may not have been "good" back then, but they are worth a small fortune now. And I know you weren't getting those 1 out of every 100 tickets.

You are missing the point of my post. Of course it is possible to catch up, and of course it should be harder to do so. What I'm saying is that it is disproportionally harder because fundamentals have changed.

 

I don't mean any offense in any way, but you are what I would categorize as a "casual" player. You don't care to be at the top, and you don't care to be the best at crushing the market. You want to have a good time and chill out, and that's perfectly fine.

However, the other category of players is the competitive player. The competitive player is a try-hard, and wants his/her efforts to lead to results. These are the players that move the market, scroll godly items, and keep the game competitive. Maplelegends will have trouble getting these types of players.
