    Explains why I'm constantly broke. No, wait. It doesn't. I'm in the -1% that has never been able to obtain millions due to lack of everything. The extreme minimal in drops, the lack of enchanting luck, ETC.

    Screw the broken [filtered] economy and the crap RNG that has it in for me. As well as the P2W players.

    What you get in 1moth farm, I can in 1 hour of mongos kk

    I'll wait another mongo event
    And then, when next Mongo happens and is not nearly as profitable and easily exploited, there will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    If Civil Unrest fails to run for the 3rd time this week, expect a really fat mongo event :). It would be then truly hopeless.
  • BHTrellisBHTrellis ✭✭
    NO! NO MORE MONGO'S EVER AGAIN! I HATE the damned Mongo event. I feel like the only player that sees maybe 1-4 of them per event, and ALWAYS the small ones. And that's farming EVERY area in EVERY channel. The P2W players get their hands on them before I get to see any if at all. So I call for a ban on Mongo's.

    Remember our last strongbox key event? it gave 2k alks as a jackpot. I said sure, lets buy a ton of strongbox keys so I can stock up on alks for the future. Now those alks are worth nothing and people after spending $300 on keys I got enough alks as people who farmed mongos for a day.

    Lesson learned, never spend money on cash grab events thinking you'll get something valueable because they become worthless later.

    I'm busy irl, so I'm away from the game for about 3 months now and I lost both mongo events.

    Still, I'd like to thank enmasse for the last mongo event, it disheartened me so much for not being told that I could prepair myself for the next patch in 1 hour, that was the reason to suspend my elite that I've been paying religiously for the past 3 years, even without playing the game.

    omfg finally someone who talks about it, it was time. game is ruined market is [filtered] only p2w player can do something

    Yeah, right, nope. You can do just fine in Tera if you have skill(be it gaming skill or trade broker skill), time or real life cash. If you have neither of those, it will suck for you. If you have even one, you are good to go.

    Y'all broke the economy selling Vm gear at millions just saying. As for the EMP to gold ratio....it wouldn't be increasing if people weren't buying at 1:10 then selling the item on at 1:20 value. Emp sellers get wise to this trick. You can sell at 1:40 but the person you sell to can in turn make up their loss and make more.

    Mongo gave new players a boost and I enjoyed it. While it did saturate the market I'd say wait until next major patch too see how it goes. There's +15 everywhere now. It levelled the playing field to a degree but just be glad mongo didn't drop VM

    I don't understand how having items drop benefits "pay to win" players... If things are affordable, wouldn't it be the opposite? Killing mongos required no gear, and could be done before even level 65, which had nothing to do with spending money or not, as long as you knew where to go... Which is possible to know without spending a penny.

    I'm sorry but thats how even real world stock markets work. When you hear of x coming out and buy up stocks, people out there will also have heard and buy it up, forcing the prices to generally get lower once the market saturates.

    Its why I only play TERA market, and other games' markets when an event or something initially happens then, dump whatever is sell able right after or during the event. Holding it for days weeks months, after the event is well... bad market playing because you end up seeing prices drop really steeply to settle low enogh down that you likely won't make much of a profit.

    EDIT, this is why many people too wait until a week or month after the event to buy up stuff they need. get it super cheap.
