And I am part of those who got demotivated with the CE prices. 3 OOO you seriously need to fix this.
I'll stop playing for a while or maybe use my mist energy once in a while, but at this moment I think i'm too demotivated to play.
Well anyway, good luck in fixing this guys
In better words,
ZOMG IT'S DOWNROCKETING
Or even better
IT'S DOWNROCKET SPROCKETING!!!
I paid for energy when it was only 4500. At least now its 7k, so i got the starter kit, good deal to craft my stuff. But now its easier to sell CE to buy recipes, so all in all its a good time to buy CE. There are many other games I could spend money, but this one is my favorite PvE, others games fights seem boring compared to SK.
Tl,dr: this game is worthy the money, CE is pretty valuable now
Last week I had 15 guild members and 20 some odd friends. This week only 2 have stayed on as guild members and and 5 friends. The prices of CE have defiantly killed the population of the game. I am also thinking about going back to WoW.
My guild is pretty dam active kinda slow this week since people are a bit busy end of the semester for many of them so they have to study and such, but ya no complaints here.
awww... my guild has .. 7 active members out of 70.
I hope you drown in the irony of your current situation. Weren't you making a killing on the energy market post crafting cost changes? It's a good thing you kept shouting down all those "whiners" with their "suggestions" and telling them to leave eh?
trolololol
It's evident that many people stopped playing the game.
Unless 000 loves to lose money or to screw their supporters and/or costumers, something will be done.
Wow NJ Magnus said you were an idiot and now you just proved it. I have lost all utter respect for you, you will be removed from my friends list forthwith and I hope all you little a-holes who are partaking in market manipulation get banned for life.
You are bringing down the game with your stupid nonsense and shenanigans.
CE isn't valuable just because you are selling it, drive off all the players you idiots, and CE becomes WORTHLESS to you because no one will be around to buy it.
IDIOTS ALL OF YOU!
@Jauoad What happened to your little fanboism hmm? It's not so fair is it? I told you this would happen.
This is what happens when you refuse to band together and fight the system.
I was never a fanboy and don't call me that. I know when to defend something and when I shouldn't. The increase of CE for crafting was never an issue for me for alot of reasons. The broken exploitable CE market is and t he results are evident when you play the game.
There used to be 13 full channels and on top of that 1000 people doing dungeons. I think now it's less than half of that. That's just awful
It's been less then half that since I quit playing the game. Then again I was probably not in peak hours however I did notice a significant drop. You sure you aren't a fanboy? You sure acted like one.
Yah, the market is very exploitable and broken, let's hope they fix it or we will all be up poop river without a paddle and no lifejacket. I also hope they will ban the people doing it permanently.
some people like me are just burning their mist energy, setting up the AH auctions and leaving for 24h... I have CE and I'm doing it...
but the social tab could display last time each person logged in... 3 hours/days/weeks ago... very useful for guilds
Right? Totally downrocketsprocketing. We're all doomed! End of days!
For reals though, if this means smaller crowds and fewer beggars, I'm all for it. I'm here to chop goblins up, not speculate on the market with people who don't know a thing about economics.
Edit:
I didn't mean to be insulting here. No offense intended. Though, if folks wanted to learn more about the economics involved,

and

Would be a dandy place to start. You might even figure out a way to change things for the better.
This thread is going to get locked if it derails further into personal attacks. Fair warning.
No market=no game
...for F2P. :P
I can definitely tell there's been a drop of activity within my guild and friends list, though it is summer. I can't contribute it entirely to the game.
Lolol guys the reason the market can be manipulated so easily isn't because of a few rich players.
The reason they can set up walls of 20 bids is because nobody is SELLING their CE. Let's say we had 500 players selling CE to the community. Do you know what kind of a wall you'd need to overcome that? A pretty big one.
But since almost nobody's selling, that's why it's so easy to put up walls and make CE prices rise. Nobody sells because a) they don't think the game is worth it or b) They don't need Crowns anymore
Beyond 5* recipes, you don't need crowns for anything. Forget about the AH, any good UV in there can be bought outside the AH with CE anyway. Crowns are worthless and inflating over time, where CE is deflating and accumulating value. This is why nobody's selling their CE. No manipulator could change the market like that if there were a decent number of people selling their CE, so ultimately this massive price increase is because the game has no content and their system is messed up.
Put aside your idiot F2P rage and your P2P ego, damn.
Wow...............
STOP COMPLAINING!!!!
And for god's sake, whoever is "boycotting" or quitting are morons and idiots. Lose your own game, money, and everything. Smart move.
And for god's sake, who CARES if it's hard. It's free, and you can buy stuff with crowns and even crowns for ENERGY!!! And even, the game didnt change at all, its as usual as normal. AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, ITS REWARDING WHEN YOU WORK HARD FOR SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /killalltrolls

People have been saying this for weeks now, 3R SERIOUSLY needs to release some endgame crownsink content. I know they can't just snap their fingers and make it happen, but I wish they would tell us that's their plan, so we'd know they're on top of things.
When I first started playing my guild was 100/100, that big crafting update dropped my guild to 60!!!! then since that time I'm lucky to see 3-5 people in the guild online at once, typical thing I see now is someone logs on says hi and then few minutes later they've logged off.
Hell I do the same, the older players are defiantly leaving in droves but there is a pretty steady flow of new players however like I've pointed out in the past most of these players will get fed up and quit before spending a cent on this game, I mean who would want to shell out money for a game they can barely play.
*edit*
Note too the begging has become terrible in this game, THANKFULLY you can just ignore the trade request because I cannot stand near the AH for more than 30 secs before someone is begging me for CR/CE.
My friend ( The one who introduced the game to me. ) RARELY plays now.
My friends list rarely reaches 10.
And the guild I'm in has 2 members in the morning and about 9 at noon - afternoon. Out of 75+
CE price is on a rampage !
Literally !
and then on monday, ima buy like 50,000CE and make the market like 20k for 100CE =D
i k33d, half my friends list is gone now (although i havnt been logging on on the weekends derp) eh I'm used to it. but really... I'm broker then i was in preview - and CE then was 20k.... i currently have 10CE 700cr and about 20 things ready to be upgraded with my non-existant energy. I guess I'll just by some more energy on monday - no harm in playing and playing for a fun game. I mean come on, i wasted $50 on them chocolate grabber machines and $100 on tony hawks on the wii which i got about 10mins of play out of.
