NCwest offer to us 400 NCoins as lowest amount of package what is with VAT, about 6,25$.
Against this the Adena sellers spam their 100 Million Adena for 5-6$.
After this if we compare, that what we can do with 400 NCoins or with 100 Million Adena, I guess if we luck the L2 Store often can win the 100 Million Adena.
Why did I write this?
Right now as the Lineage II is F2P, many players arrive to here who did play in another F2P game or on private servers and while the RMT is illegal action, these players I guess show to this way less care and disrespect the game, so while they would be able to buy NCoins and if they would mainly buy it, if the Adena would be more expensive or the NCoins more cheaper, but in this form, these players will start to change the RMT.
Also, thanks to the issue, that appeared the Adena inflation (at least on the Naia) need more and more Adena what may motivate more people to buy the Adena, while they can't farm out enough.
Also improve this issue a development issue, that between 85-94 the different zones gives really low amount of Adena or drop (except Garden of Genesis).
While the level 97+ zones gives 10-20 times more drops and Adena to the players.
I do not know, how much the NCwest or the NCsoft did count after this issue, but mainly they could sell more NCoins if they would give better deals as the illegal farmers.
In the MMORPG.com interview Sace told, that the presence of the illegal farmers is part of the healthy population (what is after all right).
But, the illegal farmers are just "part of the healthy population" if they offer their 100 Million Adena for 25$ and not for 5-6$.
I have to agree with you.
The prices are totally out of controll. For example a Blessed R99 Bow is like 20-25b. Blessed Anthy/Vala or Tauti being sold for 40b+, Longing Talisman which is 30b and more.
Getting a decent Aug on R95/R99 Weapons cost many billions. 2x SA on R99 ~8b.
Why i know that some would say "you don't need to such stuff if you don't have the Adena for", i must say that many will play with the idea to simply "get" the Adena since it is really cheap.
NCWest has to stop all this RMT or try to make RMT at least a bit useless via the L2Store and the NCoin prices (which are too high i think).
NCSoft has the answer to the RMT issue if they truly want to do away with the practice. Simple: price NC coin under a much more affordable tier structure AND make it possible to purchase advanced weapons, armor, accessories, buffs, and other game enhancements via the L2store or Galleria, and scrap the limited time and seasonal item sales models. Make all items available through one of the two sales points year round.
PC Points are a perfect example. Here is a means by which you can obtain elemented weapons of all grades, buffs, enchants, etc. The problem? The items are on a timer and the price for PC Points is TOO **** EXPENSIVE for something that will go "Poof!" in a cloud of smoke in only a couple short hours. Would it really hurt if you made these items permanent, albeit not tradeable? And how about changing the dynamic whereby a player has the option to either farm for PC Points in lieu of adena, or be able to accrue PC Points automatically as you level? Just throwing it out there. I'm sure there are other, better ideas. Come on, NCSoft, get real about making this game an overall better entertainment experience.
I'm not saying that they'll ever be able to purge the world of people who want to cheat and take short cuts, but they could at least drastically limit the influence of RMT in this game by thinking outside of the box. Ultimately, it will only enhance their bottom line, if they take the right proactive measures.
Well, the next update will take some economy balance. But won't solve the problems, what we have here.
To get example Blessed Boss Jewelries may just with some luck was available for those 4-5 people who has on the Naia, that they found some people who sold the bottles to them.
While example the Talisman of Logning or the enchant to +15 or these stuffs are really expensive for them too, just the most richest ones from them able to get this.
But there is a problem, with a part of players too, if they know too, that someone is a cheater they sell the stuff for them if 1-1 guy from the event get any top item.
Like a cheater guy for the same weapon gave with about 10% better deal, than me and this guy didn't make problem from it to sell to him, while the guy just bought it to resell...
Also as they make the deals, that ok ok I sell you in 8bil when u with pain got the 8b, than "gave me 8,5" u get the 8,5 while again come the answer, that another will give me 10b.
Really I farm whole day, but how the hell I can get anything in that form.
Really this Kaliel's Blessing is the worst event ever, it make up side down from the economy.

this blessing event kaliels was made for who has and can login the most awakening accounds at once wins the prices on a high chance. we talking about people logging in 25-30 accounds just for being 1 Person ofc it doesnt appear to be much when you see that server status says we have 6k+ people online but that person has 25-30 bigger chance of getting the item over cusual players who just have and play 1 accound/1char which is awakening. therefor this Event is "rated T for teen" ( a nicely said ) Bad event
Nc cant throw out such events where people could just be using multiple accounds.
No Farming events. no massively logging in accounds to get smth being Afk cause the kind of player i just wrote about could just make an Macro and automatically use the kaliels wishes on each accound. now for the kaliels Tokens ( Why are these items tradeable ? thats like a Warm Helloooo to these people that massively Farm these tokens and then trade them onto their main to bam da la bu alot of items onto their main character. not smart at all :)
