Gachapon observations

I do think it would be cool to have gashapon-only items available by other means only than gashapon. But let's do a little thought experiment.

Say shield magic attack scrolls were also available by hunting phantom watches. Some people who wanted to take initiative and not depend on gash or buying from others decided to hunt those monsters. Player A gets lucky and finds 2 within the first hour, and a total of 9 scrolls for the entire week. Player B is unlucky and only finds 2 for the whole week.

Clearly Player A has received a clear advantage over Player B based solely on luck. Is this something that can be fixed? Is this even something that can be considered 'wrong' or 'harmful to the economy'?

 

It doesn't matter if its 'better' or 'beneficial or 'wrong' or 'harmful,' because it represents REAL FREE MARKET ECONOMICS.

The current system we have requires there be time/luck for the creation of the 'Factors of production,' whereas the system I am proposing ushers in a third factor that is highly important, yet completely absent from all Gachapon scrolls and items (as you know, some of the most powerful items in the game)

That factor is effort. As long as the gaining of those Gachapon items is based just in the factors of time and luck, while other (usually not so powerful) items are based in the factors of luck, time, and effort, the Legends economy will never be a real free market economy.

This is just a thought, and no more than that.

For as far as I've read here, the problem is that Gachapon is to easy to be used, especially for players that are able to vote a lot. I can see how this is not gms-like, where using gachapon you were all hyped and had to work hard for it (in my case the MTS). With the steadily stream of Vote Cash gachapon has become a weekly routine, and it shouldn't be.

What if gachapon tickets were only buyable with Game Cash, at a lower cost (but with the same chances), say 500 Game Cash each. Game Cash will -for as far as I know- be available from achievements. It could also be gained from events, special occasions or just a free one-time gift to everyone because Kim is nice.

It should also be ensured you can't gain more than 5,000 Game Cash per day on the long run, but in the beginning that could be more. This can boost new players, while giving Staff more grip on the market. The base system of Game Cash should be insufficient to please people. But the additional sources as mentioned before should be just enough to hype people when they use Gachapon.

I also think the Game Cash restriction could be used on things like teleportation rocks, AP resets... Also with price adjustments. As for Vote Cash (as we do need votes) maybe there could be the option to exchange Vote Cash to Game Cash at a 5 to 1 ratio, or something.

Once again, just some thoughts.

 

On gms all i would of had to do is spend 100 euros a day if i wanted to on nx and im sorted at least here you are limited to only have 5k nx per day, making scrolls rare? Good luck finding anyone scrolling equips lol, server would be like a meal with no salt and pepper for flavour.

As for start up money ive been playing a week, i spent all nx on gacha got like a few items i can use(not rare ones) and made roughly 15m mesos, i made more mesos buying and selling kpq scrolls.

so no its not the most dependent source of income, i can go farm gfa scrolls in ludi to make mesos i dont need to just gacha, yesterday all i got was pies and elixers dont see how its easy to get good items.

I appluad your point about effecting the market in the future but i dont see how it would only be a negative effect, it could go both ways. Also making changes now only gives all users from day 1 a masssive advantage over new users, and when those new users find out that information they may lose the motivation to keep playing.

Final verdict for me is its fine how it is although i havent been playing long but its my opinion.

 

Yeah 100k per over all scroll was what i was buying them for some max 250k and selling 1m so yeah it was easy to make over 15m and 7 days is a long time only reason why i made 15m in 1 week from gacha is because i used 35k nx on it, other then that it wouldn't be as easy, what helped me was someone gave me 200k when i started and another guy gave me 1m although i had used most of this mesos on pots i saved for buying and selling scrolls and yeah thats about it really... and i see your point but still 5k nx every 24 hours for everyone isnt as bad as gms having loads of people mass buying 200k nx etc..

 

Not until v67
