Re: Blade & Soul

Yeah I'm assuming those are a group of people who had played the game a lot previous to the NA launch and new exactly what to do when they hit 45 to make big profits off stuff everyone will need :/

as someone who knew many of these people and exploited their knowledge in many kgrind initial releases back in the day i can tell you that not only is this 100% true but it's probably far more organized and insidious than you might think

depending on exactly how the game is set up a few players might be able to control 80-90% of endgame economy for months after initial release

its great if you're one of those players tho

thing about bns though is bots are rampant as fuck so a small group of players will actually never have a significant impact on the economy as a whole, especially when the market is regionwide (not server wide)

you'll be able to check out prices for a certain material needed for an endgame weapon fodder (moonwater transformation stone) and then realize it all balances very quickly due to the sheer amount of raw materials and gold being poured into the market by bots

Re: Blade & Soul

example: misty woods terrors being farmed like it's nothing

featuring at least 60 summoner bots

Re: Blade & Soul

yea im mostly talking about endgame resources that cant be bot farmed (again not sure how blade and soul operates in this regard) but in games like SUN we had groups timer camping all bosses that yielded the crafting mats required to access gear required to access later gear

it was pretty scumbag

yeah i get what you mean

everyone still has to farm endgame gear but the actual gear fodder (heroic sets required as fodder for moving onto next set of gear) are account bound and non-tradable so no profit there

also our current patch (45) is literally irrelevant because the actual level cap is 50, and the entire game goes through a number inflation (the exact opposite of wow's number crunch), so all the money and shit people earn right now will become literally irrelevant

people struggle to get 10g/day right now, and in 50 patch a single quest gives like 30g (lol) - but fodder/basic mats stay same price as 45 patch because those don't scale to quest rewards & mob rewards

$bots galore$

Re: Blade & Soul

I can't wait till the level cap comes out.

I'm also looking at making another character because blade dancer isn't as much fun as I thought it was going to be in the long run.

Re: Blade & Soul

I got my summoner to 45 now. Now I'm rocking two level 45s but I like playing cat lady more than anything.

[L.B.D.D]

Re: Blade & Soul

if you play a summoner expect to get a lot of hate in pvp and a lot of hate if you accidentally agro bosses like blackwyrm with cat taunt or snare them causing tank rotations to get messed up

but otherwise summoners are nice and relaxing

[Mahou]

Re: Blade & Soul

Even as a summoner, I already get pissed off that my cat messes up aggro. But being a ranged character is pretty nice.

Re: Blade & Soul
