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.

but why? I'm not P2W players but I get good with mongos

I have to admit some of the item prices are way off right now in the broker.

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

wait what how?

Most who play Tera do not have millions

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.

p2w players stock up on supply increasing their wealth they dont need all theses extra mats.

most casual players, the majority, are likely to use or sell mats at current low prices.
Case in point, on my noob brawler, I wasted all the spellbinds I got from Mongos still ended up with [filtered] rolls.
The P2W, rich, or smarter player knows I'm not the only one doing this and is banking on impatient people blowing most of their goods and good ol RNG to [filtered] em in an [filtered] like it did with me.

I blew 8K spellbinds in 30m

p2W knows I'm not the only one and once there is a shortage again of these mats price goes up they sell.

Feedstock now, for all we know will remain the same I mean it wasnt hard to get feedstock prior Mongo anyway. You just had to play the game. Sincerely doubt next patch will make t10 feedstock hard to get.

How is being smart with your in-game supplies considered P2W?

wow. still talking about Mongo event?

Yeah. it's true that Mongo fked up some Tera Econ.

I got many non- flying mounts for each alts. EME gave us 10 mil of Noble Moons with regaining MP, HP, Stamina. There isn't much reason to ride another non-flying mounts without all mp, hp and stamina gain. I feel so stupid for trying to get rare mounts before.

I opened so many crystal boxes to get blue dyad. Cystal box price went down to 1/3.

Inner armor..

3 days of event = 3~6 month of farming mats. But, still the mats are not perm as CASH ITEM.

that example was to illustrate how it makes the rich richer and the poor well remain poor.
