L2 economy screwed?

General Discussion Started Last reply 5 posts
How did this -f2p- model has affected the ingame economy mechanics?
Some of us have the impression they have gone really REALLY ****ed up since there are soooo many sources for adena including the adena *cough* bot *cough* farmers, the sellers and the ingame sales of items purchased through coins.
Do you guys believe there's some way for casual players (aka the ones not willing to buy any coin at all and to spend more than 4-5 hours playing daily) to go somewhere at this game given the current situation? or is this "situation" a product of my imagination? :)

discuss please, thank you

It is very much possible. Due to abundance of items, instanced raids, that can be farmed by everyone and free soulshots that make XP cost close to zero, it is actually much more possible, than ever before.
Ah, maybe you are jealous about those +15 weapons. Well, these are not any game-changing factor, and if you lag behind, it's not because few people in every top clan have those.

Look, if you wouldn't buy NCoins might be you wouldn't pay neither for the 13$ monthly fee what was before.
I have some friends too who doesn't buy too much NCoins neither, but can make adena in legal way.

Use your brain, than you can make Adena.

Economy (at least in barts) have several problems because bots that farm kilos of adena and the new campagn that is the only way to enter in altar. This is the worst thing ever created by a dev project thinking in players to get their equips r95.
In bartz we have not enough players lvl 95 + to finish the campagin and make altar accessible, this result in a huge problem: Who had r95 equips from before glory days is fine, after it seraph leather chest (one of so many examples) from 300kk changed to 1,2-1,7kkk, u can't find soul crystals r95 in a.h, neither weapons as well.
So... well, that can work good for korea... but...
With so many events its impossible for prices to go down, which is such a shame.
