I still don't see it:

New Mystic completely plus 12 Slaughter in 2 days

Lancer Imp Lance plus 15 in three days

Yeah let's completely ignore any funds previously accumulated and just say 3 days for an imp lance L0l

I didn't spend any gold achieve this as well when it comes to a shortage one should measure assets gathered before, during and after not just one polar side of it, that is a narrowed mind set and why these threads carry on further than they should/

So you're clearly stating with no premise of previously earned gold and farmed materials, you made an imperator lance and +15'd it in 3 days. lol. lol

No what I am stating is I used no gold, this is true, but I used mats earned before. Shortages are defined by supplies that are available, show me a broker that has no feed stock posted, show me a player base that is not hording any of it for the next patch, then I will agree their is a shortage. Until then all I see is people wanting to rage with little to no idea what they are even raging about.

This is the trend that most devs are going for now in terms of farming or grinding anything in any MMO. When one grinding method is overused it gets nerfed.

1. We got the massive ghilliglade nerf.
2. No more dismantling.

It's [filtered] like this that either drives people away or creates forum riots.

@Feii
Plus for the feedstock the 48FS isn't guaranteed, if you had read the [filtered] outline that Treeshark gave us then it said a 60% chance to drop 48FS per boss, not 100%. Anyway, It's still a good enough droprate to have been worth farming for.

I disagree, played a few f2p/ subs.

Devs norm try to create a nice balance and allow a few streams of revenue to exist for the casual player.

For example, Vindictus and that is a money grubbing game, but it was still easy to make a decent amount of gold as a f2p player.

What I currently see in Tera is borderline ridiculous and they are strapped for cash obviously. Regardless all f2p games are p2w always have...

It's 100x easier to make gold, and get max/mid tier gear on Tera than on Vindictus. MMORPGs historically haven't focused on extreme casual players either. There are multiple other genres/types that are meant for casual players, such as social/mobile games, and even some of the games on consoles.

Probably better to compare to MMO's that have a healthy population of players, as they're obviously doing something right? As compared to say Vindictus..

I think a tweak to Feedstock being equal drop to MWA in DSU is an important and non-damaging way to go about a fix.

The point is if you play the game, not just log in go afk, surf the forums, but truly play the game. You will get every thing you need to plus 15 a character in time. But if you just hit 65 or want 12 characters at +15, you will have a hard time and you should. You should be invested to get a return. That is how I made out so easily as well I invested time in friends who we help each other . If one of us has an easy time and another hard we reach out to help the lesser. Point of this thread is to declare a shortage, there isn't shortage of Feed Stock, just a shortage of people wanting to invest. I am sorry but me as well as 6 other guildies in our guild got plus 15 with in a matter of days of getting VM.

The only "investment "of time I want to do is enjoy dungeons which give me like 5 feedstocks lol

Its not the point only in feedstocks but we need seriously changes for semi, spell and our POOR drop in Ghilly.

I kinda fail to see the depth of the problem, or maybe we just have different PoVs, however, the way I see it is:

A newbie who is just starting to gear up and stuff, won't have money (in-game) to buy feedstock, it doesn't matter if t9 costs 15 or 25g each, he's better off farming for gear pieces with the same name instead, at least up to +9 it's the safest bet even for mid tier gear (in fact, he might be better off selling whatever feedstock he can get).

LFG parties with a +15 requirement aren't something new, just like +12 were in the past before awakening, and it all got worse after crusades were introduced, we all know guilds that only do hard mode runs with their cliques and that would only do training runs once in a full moon... and even then they will only take a single noob, no more - and you gotta be friend of one of them beforehand, othewise...

Now, if you just gotta get into those groups but you can't get +15, open your own group. No +15 will join you? Open a +12 one. Players need to be skilled to clear content on +12 mid tier? Well, then teach them. You don't wanna "lose time" carrying them? Well, you either grind to get feedstock so you can join those godly groups/guilds or you invest time in forming your own group, either way you need to put some extra effort - cause hard mode stuff is optional, so is the BiS gear.

Anyway, I agree spellbind and SES can use a tweak in their drop rates.

you also most likely +15'd back when the feedstock event was around.

Aulon · August 2016

@Comets sorry you are assuming wrong, it was last tuesday. Though I did plus 15 my Sorc during that event.

that in a nutshell explains the importance of casuals obtaining +15 weapons in a timely manner.

You keep seeing ppl write oh mid tier gear all you need, but ingame its a bloody different story. People who farm HM dungeons and DSU only want +15s so you need to have em as the new kid on the block. Otherwise you get cut off from pretty much a third of the content that Tera has to offer and nobody will stick around long if the hardest dungeon the community allows em to do is DFNM fodder dungeons.

You could always make some friends, or join the groups that don't have +15 as a requirement... I've done SSHM with Slaughter gear as multiple classes, and other people also in Slaughter. The tank had Lucid as well, and the healers rarely have +15. Even now, I still do not have a single piece of Imperator and still clear everything.

The biggest issue just comes down to the fact people complaining they can't +15 imperator do not want to party with anyone with gear below that even though they most definitely can.
