Trophy Inflation

[alatar]

Yes we understand that. What we are saying is that it is funny that you bring this issue up AFTER you cash out.

not proper use of ironic
it actually makes a lot of sense.
making a post about the trophy system AFTER becoming extremly familiar with the economics of the trophy system or making a post BEFORE becoming familiar with the system. you tell me which would have more imput.
would have as much credibility as somone who has never pvped complaining about pvp dynamics.

SOOO, what you are saying is alatar is dumb and doesnt know about the system????

You are the weakest link sir!

This is exactly what I was thinking when I read this post.

It may not be his intent, but it seems blaintly obvious.


I believe the only answer involves adding new prizes with an exorbant price tag. Hopping up the price of existing rares only 'makes the rich richer' or however it goes.

well it seems also everyone skimmed over my post wtihout actually reading it.

i make 90% of my income ingame from selling spawning rares, if this was any attempt on my part to make myself richer i would have done everythign necessary to advocate increasing the trophy costs of these prizes, which is the opposite of what i posted, but thanks for reading.

please stay on topic

I've suggested what I believe to be the most viable alternative, providing new incentive for veterans while keeping old rares within grasp for new players.

I believe that is the topic of this thread, is it not?

[BlackFoot]

turning this thread into a flame against me for turning in trophys instead of trying to improve shard is not staying on topic.

Regardless, you have already obtained X rares in the amount of time you have played, Y.
If the current high ends are bumped up significantly, there is no way a new person could obtain the same X rares given the same Y playtime, giving you an unfair time advantage.

Traditionally OSI left what was in the game alone, and added new moneysinks. This is the course I believe should be taken. Take it as a personal insult if you will.

[BlackFoot]

your opinions and suggestions on trophy inflation are good, not insulting.
accusing me of trying to manipulate the economy with a trophy poll thread is hilarious and also insulting.

There are those of us that dont go around buying everyones trophies though, I have maybee 50 or so but they are all won by myself. Lets see that means I have not cashed in for anything yet and...what was it that you dont have yet? Oh nothing, ok.
