Does anyone know the logic of cutting teh workers posts for both leather armour and leather helmets to just 3 workers?
I can only presume that it is an attempt to restrict people from using them in min art sets and to once again shift people into spending more gold. In what one must presume to be a mis guided attempt to get people to buy diamonds.
I frequently fail to see the logic in a number of the regulatory actions taken by the Admin, I am not sure if that is a reflection on my own mental capacity, or theirs.
The other alternative is to try and balance the economics, in which given histoy maybe its a temporary measure that will then be readjusted themselves later.
Is there something else I have missed, because both of these answers seem insufficient to me. Sure the restriction in these goods will make people change arts to less cost effective sets. This will increase gold expenditure, however I would not see an increase in diamond expenditure. As a user I can only see it as frustration that these arts exist, but in very low levels.
Given this what is the basis for making teh desision? Or again have I missed something.
I am rambling now, better stop |
| What does this server need? It needs money to be maintained. Its ad free, so that's great. Diamonds is the only choice they have to keep this game going. |
for TK_97:
constantly ruining this game won't help them increase their diamond income in any way.

i have given up seeking logic in admin's actions long time ago. i suggest you do the same, it's a pure waste of time. btw, i have recently found a similarity between my cat and admins - they all can handle the game economy with the same effectiveness. |
Are they trying to force us to buy better artifacts?
Or are they trying to force us to enroll in the mines? |

Since you're not the only one who thinks this way, I believe it's theirs. They fail to understand the basic of economics: the higher the price, the fewer the customers (in this case, the price being diamonds); also, the lower the quality, again, the fewer the customers (quality here being their customer support). It just seems to me like they haven't thought it out well enough what would bring them more cash. It's just like buying something expensive, but good - you pay more money once, but in the long run you save up more by not having to buy the same cheap thing again and again; they're taking the easy way out and buying the cheap stuff (no quality, but more money in your pocket NOW) without realising that it will hurt them eventually.

@3
Add to your cat and admins the politicians and the economists in real life :P
On topic, the only logical solution I find is that they want to help us type faster by encouraging the click-wars... |
| the truth is that they don't care about this server and they don't need it. they just keep it running. who do you think you are? this is just a side project. the admins, they don't even speak your language. |
i could suppose my solution..... as with changes in thief guild+workoholic penalty, same now with clearing avaible resources, i have to take break, around one month, to calm down (really to calm down)
maybe with some more same changes, it force me out of this game
fighting great
economy ***** :-( |
| well, the only logical explanation that i've come with is that the admin want us players to buy not only the minimum set for AP (which always consist of leather armor and medal of bravery). When the supply for those 2 decrease, the price will increase, then the demand will decrease because players buy another items as a substitute.. |
| i hate to say it but all of the admins actions are all to simply increase our time spent enrolling instead of encouraging us to fight. now it takes even more money to fight and for those of us saving up for tgi it is killer and now all i do is enroll and hunt hoping i can get enough money for a tgi so i have something new to do. i hope admins stop trying to kill this server and start improving it |
| Since no one mentioned this theory, which I believe is most plausible, the admins may have reduced work slots for the leather items and medal of bravery in order to keep these factories running. Before this players were buying these arts in order to work in them and then dumping them on the market at low prices. Maybe this is the admin's anti-dumping policy by directing reducing the production. |

take a look, leather armour is only part of the absolute cheapest set in the 8ap and 9ap sets, and even then by only 2 gold and 1 gold/fight respectively |
| So there's a shortage of leather items. Why not use some other arts to skirt around this issue? |
@God5end
simple. its cheap.
agreed with MileTeg, 3 workers are not enough...
as for the money to keep the game, i dont mind ads as long as they are virus free
i really hate click wars cuz of worldwide connection delay... |
| i agree ads would be nice because then the admins may actually pay attention to this server |
| More people WOULDN'T want ads on this server. The fact that there are no ads is one of the appealing things about this game. |
| but if theya re off to the side and dont pop up at you what is the problem? |
adds suck. they distract you and disturb the enjoyment of the game. it's just annoying. and btw, from my experience games with adds are no cheaper..
back to topic, just buy a sword with mor ap instead. it doesnt cost much more. i know the change is not right but you all overreact |
Its not so much as I have a problem with it, nor enough money to be able to compensate.
My issue is, that of the multitudes of actions the Admins decided to take in running this game, they decided to make taht change. As someone who likes to analyse things I wanted to work out the thought process they may have used to come to the desision to restrict the work places at leather sites. Based on that thought I could see no good answer, so put it out to everyone. After all, if I can understand what the logic is of Admins, one can better understand their vision for the game and what may or may not occur in future. |
vision for the game and what may or may not occur in future
I think your goal is quite unrealistic. I bet even the admins themselves aren't fully clear on what their vision is yet.
Anyway each change is better analyzed in hindsight. I think my theory is pretty reasonable. Instead of making the facility economy fully functional on its own (which would require a lot of work and tweaking) the admins are doing minor changes so the facilities can work with only occasional maintenance (filling gold in).
I don't think this is about diamonds or forcing players to use other arts. |
