It's looking like we're back up. Doom gloom and tears are over~

Jeeze. Small contender? By MMO standards, they're NOT a small player on the market. Only compared to the bloated mutation that is WoW, are they "small". WoW is an OUTLIER. CoH is more normal for the industry, and an unparalleled success story. -
I think you'll be glad to find out, my friend, that this does very little to your ticket farming rate.
It's just a baffling change all in all. -
The real moral of the story is that there will always be a 'most optimal' way to level, or get inf, or get whatever; and that way will rarely resemble 'normal gameplay'. That's not really something you can 'fix' unless you want to lock everyone into a rigid linear one-way path.

Powerleveling's taking the hit here, not farming.
But don't let facts get in the way of crowing, I guess. -

Anything that makes the AE even the smallest bit harder for PLers is good for the game.

Every little bit helps

More load screens, more server stress, maybe a 10% reduction in speed - being generous - and some required rejiggering of missions.
Crippling blow to farming, this is not.
Nor will it save story arcs. Not sure what the intended goal of this is. -
Basic rules: play how I want you to play, so that we can establish a proper upperclass sneering down on those plebian 'free players' and degenerate farmers.

Quote:While I won't dispute the fact that I'm on the internet more than I should be, the market just doesn't move quickly enough and the number of auction slots is just too small to realistically spend 4 hours a day on it. 20-30 minutes at the start and end of whatever playtime I had, and that's assuming my bids for materials came through while I was doing something else.Originally Posted by eryq2
Yup, play 4 hours a day and you, too, can has awesome lootz.
I mean, I guess I could roll a bunch of alts? But I've been doing it primarily on Sivasiri because I forget what I'm doing on which character and then I'm overriding my own bids and it's just a huge mess. I don't really need the added income. -
I just wanted to post a sincere thank you, partly because I really appreciate the thread, and partly to spite the comments about 'you're not starting with nothing, you have years of experience and no new people will care!'
I just picked up the game on Aug 21 during the 2 dollar sale on a whim and the advice of a friend who said we should try it with Freedom around the corner - and now a little over two weeks later, with the information gleaned from the thread and others like it, I'm now within ~100m of my first billion influence.
Experience is invaluable, but without people like you sharing it, some things might be a lot more irritating than they are.
(Also I'd have nothing to make my friends go 'where the hell did you get all that cash what are you doing are you a wizard', which is also pretty invaluable.)
