Exchange ratio chart (KR,JP,NA,EU) FYI.
This is just FYI, I was writing an argument, but I deleted it and I am just leaving this chart for those people who are still interested in other TERA's ratio.
Here is the comparison chart of the ratios of KR, JP, NA and EU (sorry RU, Russian is too hard to translate for me)
Apparently, NA has the worst ratio, but it is FINE as long as it has been decided according to the amount of item exist.
But one thing that I am still questioning is the ratio of non-tradable items. Why do they have poor ratio like SES, MES? Of course we have had some double drop event so that the supply of those items were a bit more than others. But NA TERA is not the only server that have gotten 2x drop event. Do we really have 10 times more t11 MES than KR?
Tbh, it really seems like BHS/EME want to RESET NA TERA's economy because they have ruined it by giving away too much things since the beginning.

No other region had gave so many enchanting mats as NA.
People just dont want to understand that conversion rates is accordingly to the amount of those mats in players had.
Players that only made Event's and AFK the rest of the year are the ones complaining the most as far I have seen. They thought they were going to start the game with all their alts with top tier gear +2 to continue to be afk and coming back only on events.
Even people who didn't run events in NA and with a minimum effort will get the posibility to start with a high or top tier gear with these conversion rates because how much we had been rewarded doing only the basic dailies.
They did
I completely understand this, but non-tradable items are different from them. None of the events have given non-tradable items(especially scrolls), 2x drop event kinda gave more non-tradable items, but 10x is still questionable. Also, EU and KR also got a few 2x drop event.
Players whine wanting events after events after events, EME forced to respond to shut them up, influx of mats come in, events every week, every mat is now worthless. Should have really seen it coming. Everytime i see people asking "WHEN NEXT EVENT EME PLS WE NEED MORE [filtered] BECAUSE IM LOW ON X MAT WHINE WHINE WHINE" Im like "Go ahead and devalue everything more"
/shrug
So calm down. Kyra is comming
This game isnt doomed becauswey you cant reach BIS +9 after 2 hours in the new patch
More mats from events * crap conversion rate = few mats from events * good conversion rate.
It's just another instance where BHS think that everyone is korean and they want to balance everything arround k-tera (like what they did with ping problems), they rly think that a game that sorely lack fun content need hardcore grinding..
Wellp, there is only ~1.4K avg players now down from 10K on VM5 patch, let's see if ppl will come back in droves just to re-gear and re-do everything with much more grinding so they can just run 2x new reskinned dungeons 10201021x lol.
You're so naive.
Players that are already at +15 VM9 will start with a HUGE advantage on the new patch, rest of the ppl will be forced to deal with "k-tera like grinding"(every1 asked for it) just till they catch to Top+2...
Well i don't know about you but I've been seeing people saying "ERMG CONVERSION RATES SO BAD EME PLS FIX" and whining about the conversion rates being bad when the answer is clearly obvious and the answer to them fixing it (Spoilers: its a no) is obvious.
BHS prorbably has a idea in mind of how many tokens they want the average player to go into so that Hardcore players won't have a massive advantage and be finished with the patch within 1 damn day while not screwing the casual players who will continue to carry on as they are so everyone starts on even ground (even if their starting points are different).
As with your example maths showcase, we would probably still end up with the exact same amount of tokens as we do now...the numbers would just look better to the public
Tl;dr people need to stop whining for 1 DAY about stupid things and just live with the stuff they're given
