To everyone, you have to understand that every class has its own prespective on this economy catastrophe or gold mine in its own prespective, I for example think its a bankrupt, the whole point in a game is to have a progression, when some classes are struggling to progress you start asking yourself why am I even playing this class? why shouldn’t I pick what helps my progression better in every term, rather then “suffer”.
Most of the people are missing the issue, having 1 channel and crowded areas of people farming the same spots means you break your equips at the same pace but earn less gold and exp, if there were more channels and spawns most likely you’d be having a better time in progressing, regardless of class because you’d have more farm for yourself, as for parties? in my experience parties take a toll on your economy and experience, better have it solo, and why is that? because you divide everything you have by the amount of party members but the cost of everything you pay for is practically the same in terms of repair and enchanting (not in potions because most likely you consume less), I have 3 different classes over lvl 125+ so I had the experience of the good and bad of the progression of almost every class.
As of this moment, the biggest problem of IMC and ToS in general is big balancing issues in class early-mid-late game and spawn distribution which would probably fix the whole economy and progression in general.
I come from ARPG experience for years upon years and been testing dozens of alphas and betas of a lot of ARPG games, and this game can be frustrating in progression at times, And I say that as an hardcore gamer.
Another reason why people are “botting” and auto attacking while AFK is because the progression becomes to intense and ineffective to the point where you have nothing to lose but stand there and MAYBE something will happen and you gain some gold or exp, I think that adding more channels and much better spawn areas will DEFINETLY reduce the amount of these people.
And as a side note to IMC, Listen to your community and share information with us as well so we can communicate with you to make this game better for EVERYONE, what happened in the 3rd of nov patch where you did not share the “economy changes” in the patch notes is eradicating the community, We don’t like when info is hidden from us and we have to discover it by ourselves, If you want us to test your game to the fullest for YOUR benefit, you have to share this info with us.
We are the community, we are the deciders of what is good for us, not you IMC, and probably you could’ve seen how many people quit because of the slow progression and frustration that you created already, which is a really bad way of starting a beta on its first week, don’t you think?
Think of the impression you’ll leave when the game comes out.
If anyone has anything to add, feel free, this is an open community to share ideas, thoughts and feedbacks.
