At first, Mindark asked planet partners to develop local economy by creating planetary specific minerals, loots and blueprints. Arkadia is the only planet other than Calypso does this right, but seems like everything went wrong since the update of Planet calypso update 2012.5, which released abundant new looted weapons which alot superior than those crafted weapons. Then update comes after that every planets adding new weapons follows the new eco standard, the weapon-crafting business is like BOOM drop down to almost nothing. Then the sharpnels and explosive blueprints, which make those gamblers don't even need to buy resources from any other players at all. The Vu comes last week released even more (L) Weapons from mobs in Calypso, Cyrene and Arkadia, from what I see it Mindark cutting down the economy bit by bit. The connection of Hunting, Mining and hunting is almost fell apart, I mean crafters can gamble with Explosive bps and no longer need to buy oils from hunter or minerals from miners, they don't need to craft weapons because no one would buy it anyway since there are way superior guns drop from mobs and almost always available on auction. Hunters don't need to sell oils or loots to Crafters since they don't need to gamble on Simple I or Clothing bps. Same thing happen to miners which the markup of alot minerals drop to ground, which is already bad before the Mining Mania, and got even worse after that. Where are we exactly heading to with the shape of current economy? I mean working economy? even Calypso is "not that working" any more(compared with what it was). Don't even need to say to other planets.
People asked for better returns.... people asked for better mu.... Seems like every one wants their cake and to eat it too I love arkadia tho and even thought I duck out to calypso for events and some shopping, I think arkadia is the place to be. I am ok with losses, I just wanna have fun
Sales this month of approx 25k ped. Just under 100k for the year. Are you sure weapon crafting is in trouble?
This quot has always been dumb to me, of course I want to eat my cake what's the point of having cake you can't eat. Would it not be more appropriate to say, "They want to eat everyone elses cake and theirs too"?
It means that you cannot both posses the cake and also enjoy consuming it. Once it is consumed, you can no longer enjoy posessING a beautiful caKe As it is gone.
But I will enjoy it because I will be full from eating it and out getting another one Why would I want to possess a cake and just let it go stale? Now if it was a piece of artwork such as a painting or some other object like a trophy I can see that but a cake is to be eaten and I enjoy eating it not possessing it. I would feel crappy not having to eat that cake not enjoy not eating it. I would rather not ever possessing a cake ever if I can't eat it.
You have one cake. You want to eat it and still have one cake left so you can eat another one. Perpetual enjoyment
Which kind of makes me think that on your avatars birthday if u log on they should give you a consumable birthday cake that has 100% experience bonus for x time
Where EU is heading? Who knows? Perhaps from a RCE Sandbox to a Micro Transaction (Pokemon style) MMO? Regardless: cake is cake.
