Elite vs non elite and double drop weekend

edited March 2017 in TERA PC - General Discussion
So Eme wants to know how to make elite look more attractive so people will buy it...how about they stop listening to the non-elite whiners and nerfing our benefits we PAY for. Ghilliglade double drops back when it dropped gold elite players with their gold buff would have made alot of gold but with the "gem" drops and the rare rng not so much.

65 quest award gems why cause non elite whiners would whine about x2 gold elite players get. You want to get more people buying elite then stop listening to the people that dont want to buy elite and nerfing our benefits because they complain.

After 336 runs (4 65s using both reset scrolls every 5 hours) - 1 diamond, an emerald maybe once in a full set of 12 runs and sapphires every 3rd or 4th run. So yea Id rather have the gold drop back because even with double drops the gem rate blows hard

We also got random costumes (limited) and gem bags they got nerfed and the whiners have already started in global about how its unfair elite players are getting a whole 15 emp a day.

*note: had they been gold drops I would have made 132,400 gold at 400/ave drop was 200-300 per run

    Back in day resets didnt work on Ghilli but I had 8-65s so I ran ghilli on all 8 and with elite cleared 25k-32k per day
    THAT was worth paying for elite in HUGE way

    I believe that there was an alternate reason why En Masse removed the gold drops from Ghilleglade... The same reason why they've nerfed the gold drop on open-world monsters, BAMs and dungeon bosses for LV 65 dungeons.

    2-3k per character. i used to make like 15k a day only through ghillieglade. and that was without any reset.

    After 12 runs, this was what I got. I prefer the gold thanks, also after opening over 15 gold finger inner boxes Ive gotten 1 Practical(useless) yellow inners, 3 blues and a ton of greens. One big reason players probably leave Tera, its hard as hell for a solo person to get gold yet in other MMOs like Wow farming gold is easy and well it does have tons more players that stay on their game. Heck even a low pop p2w f2p game like Aika is easier to farm gold then Tera is.

    That's pretty good, especially without resets.

    No need to assume EME had any responsibility about it. It was brought this way simply because we are following KTERA patch. KTERA translator brought up this attention before we had gold dropping back in the days so we had about 3-4 months to prepare for this before Ghilleglade reward got nerf.

    So again, all the changes were done by Bluehole, the developer. Not EME.

    I'm glad you found out the alternate reason why En Masse removed the gold drops from Ghilleglade, my friend. I was going to mention it while adding sources, but I decided to let it be.

    EME has also said they have the ability to change or add things to the game as they see fit. As elite we get 4 ghilli runs but we dont get 2x the ace dungeons, celestial arena, echoes of Aranea, not sure about HM dungeons. We also get the "old" power pots, no Valkyon responses, and vanguards are dailies do we get double of those? So selling elites in store advertising this stuff we dont get isnt that false advertising?

    EME has control to fix or add to game as they see fit, it's just more profitable to make players buy EMP if they want gold.

    This is far too many people who'd like Tera's economy to get completely destroyed. You are currently complaining that gold still has some value instead of being a completely obsolete currency....

    Higher gold count does not equal more gold. Purchasing power is what matters the most. I've played MMOs where gold counts went into the billions and one where even trillions. 1 mil gold there was equivalent to 1,000 gold here due to how inflated everything got. If you noticed, many things since GG and TAR have doubled and even tripled in price. Why does it matter if everyone can get 30k in a day if everything will just go up in price requiring you to farm even more gold anyways? This also hurts anyone that tries to start the game when they see everything costs multiple hundred thousand gold, and this also forces people to get Elite just to farm gold.

    I don't even know why people want a 10 second instance or BAMs that can be 1 shot to give a ton of gold. It was stupid when BAMs as elite would drop up to like 35 gold per kill as Elite when they took 2 seconds to kill, or GG giving several tens of thousand of gold for 0 effort and time. Gold isn't even hard to farm, you can just sell stuff.

    A long time ago, they used to. But now, they basically don't. BHS switched to a unified global build system early last year, and they have been slowly consolidating/eliminating region-specific customizations. Furthermore, the patch cycle is now one new build every 3-5 weeks, and these by default would wipe out any changes EME made.

    EME can run events that provide special drops in content, or do things like double rewards. But, generally speaking, they avoid anything that changes the underlying global build now because it just causes cascading problems from them and is contrary to the goal of reducing variation (and thus reducing patch delays overall).
