Wolf Tails From Event Claimed Already
Comments
Come on now, if they were really new players, they probably would not have spent real life money on the style tab necessary to use it, and many newer players don't stay. Heck, why do we even have to have wolf tails be a rare commodity? Can't we all be Holos?
What is wrong with making tails an unlimited prize?
I know a few newbies who spend NX 1-2 days after playing.
8 years ago, I was total level 35 when I brought my first NX card.
I am unsure how much play time that would equate back then, but I normally don't spend money on games I am "trying" out, and suspect many people do so for similar reason. Those people are likely the exception, and not the rule.
It is hard to examine those who constitute the rule, when the fulfillment is that they do not stay.
I agree with you, Bliss. I feel like it's okay to limit the money prizes (we already kind of have inflation nowadays), but why not make the item prizes all unlimited? That way, we can at least try to keep inflation down while also flooding the market with so many wolf tails that there would be little point to continuously making alts to get them! A perfect solution~
Can you imagine? 100K wolf tails in AH galore.
Today I came back and there's no free winning entries with coins anymore. All left is 1st place gold entries. Pretty disappointing event, very easy to abuse.
Lmao!Don't go into these bot event with expectations. U'll be surprised if things work out or won't be depressed when it doesn't.
Someone will get rid of it 4 cheap when their fashinogi funds run low. just wait 4 it.
But the gold dump...man. FSn puppets are gunna cost me an arm and a leg now with all dis inflation.
I hope to gosh that it wasn't just 1 or 2 people, or else the market is screwed.
Mari's prizes seem to go much slower than Alexina and other servers from what I can tell so it seems we have less alt abuse. I think 2 of the 100m checks still went unclaimed at all last week. So far at the time of this post, NONE of the 100m checks are claimed yet which is surprising since I know people like me piled their coins in from last week o.o
Remember when Nexon ended the Hamlet's Delegation event early during G13 because people were abusing multiple accounts to get lot of free items? Those are the good, ol' days.
On Ruairi currently.. it's running around 35m. Taking into account recent event item prices, it's pretty reasonable to obtain.
For example:
• Autumn Breeze outfit box F ~12m
• Tulip outfit F ~9m
Over 20m just from those alone. The tail is possible to obtain and the prices will go down. Yes, the count goes away fast but at least there are still ways to obtain it.
Billions at the end of this event.
Exactly. What a nightmare.
My issue is that we're encouraging these players with our purchases. In any case, those two are heavily inflated, even by the standards of any event. Honestly, Tulip would likely go for 5 million tops, and Autumn Breeze Set even less.
In any case, we should blame Nexon for making these tails limited.
I too blame the person who buys the item for such a high price they set the price ceiling standard with bot gold.
Everyone values an item differently. Some people are more willing to pay for certain things. If it isn't at a price you like, then wait for it to lower to the price you value it to be.
Also, the prices that I mentioned aren't inflated. Those are the prices they have sold for on AH in Ruairi:
Either way, I don't really see an issue with them being limited. There are still more tails to come with the weekly reset and I'm sure the tail will come back again in another future event. If you can't get it now, eventually you'll get one.
Except that prices are inflated by the amount of gold being doled out every Thursday, and even more so by the number of players who invested time in alternate accounts. Placing too much gold in too small a group is generally a bad thing for everyone else.
Having back to back months of gold giving events tends to do this. Purchasing tails from certain individuals only enable them further to screw up the market, but this is much more apparent on Alexina, as we tend to have something actually rsembling a player base. (The larger the player base, the smaller the ratio of people with alternate accounts who have received such a massive amount of gold, compared to the rest of us.)
They sold because that's the only price anyone could buy them at. In terms of Nexon's track record, there have been years with which certain features have returned, and seldom few yet to return still. Things like old blacksmithing manuals are apparent, as are things like oversized sweaters, as are Yui Puppets and Fate Stay Night Puppets (Alright, the latter two should be fairly obvious.)
There's no real reason to make it rare either, and the market isn't simply "It will eventually lower to a price I want", especially when there are players I could name who have sell items for extravagant prices and they are the only individuals selling them.
The real issue primarily is the gold. The wolf tails are symptomatic of this, but making them limited in number isn't necessary, whereas nerfing the gold rewards in the instaprize should be mandatory for all future events.
Well, I guess that means the rest of us are still....boned. Damn, this event is ruff on everyone else.
