Set Prestigious Coin Prices to be a Fixed Mesos Price

Lets suggest ways to fix the economy rather than suggest to kill a whole class (mages), destroy safe spots, or to make mobs overpowered than they should be.

• Multimages is a symptom of a broken economy, rather than the cause.

• In Real Life Hours spent on (characters/grinding/farming) should be accounted for their efforts.

• They also help the economy by reducing the prices of scrolls and equips, by increase the quantity and quality by farming them, so that everyone can get them.

• Could also Lower npc price of equips, reduce etc/meso(amount) dropped by mobs instead = "less printed mesos" and increase quantity of scrolls/good equips to deflate the economy

Economy was overrun by people hoarding WS/CS before the Pink Bean update in Oct 2020, such that the prices went from 100m(2019) to 150m.





When the Pink Bean update came along in late Oct 2020, the WS/CS began to creep from 150m to 200m

Then Prestigious Coins balance came along to address all the Hoarders of WS/CS in Aug 2021. This push people to Hoard even more and spiked WS/CS from 200m to 300m in only a few months before WS/CS became finally untradeable.

In June of 2021 (2 months before Aug 2021 before pcoins update), quad mage method was published to combat the Hoarders that were killing the economy.

• In his guide, he even showcases himself using WS rather than hoarding it!

To address the probabilistic nature of % drops from gacha, WS/CS was converted to also being able to be purchased by Pcoins.

The biggest issue is that P-coins is a stock. This means that since Pcoins is not tied to a fixed Meso price, it itself become a currency of its own, much like how WS/CS was originally a type of stock that was collected and used as a currency before the Pcoins update.

Pcoins went from 1.8m (Jan 2022) to 3.8m (Aug 2022).






Originally WS/CS was gated to prevent the influx of Perfect Equips in ML, but now it's almost impossible to make or see perfected equips.

• People who put in XXX amount of In Real Life hours should at least be guaranteed the chance of trying for at least 1 perfected equipment.

To fix, the symptom, it's best to fix the actual issue that is Pcoins = stocks.

• I suggest to make Pcoins = a fixed mesos price instead (people suggested 140m fixed price like the good ol'days of ML)

• Then fix the symptoms afterwards.
