Lets talk a bit about this from the beginning
Weiner claims to be a professional cow
First of all 95% of the player base is working with the wrong numbers
Lets talk about august 2017 heine fishing event
Because i had to work and i din't play that much i found myself kicked off of main top parties - undergeared they said
Where's the problem i tought. I have a good job and i can spend, a lot
In 3 hours i spent 10k $ on bait packs, and i was a moderate spender far away from the real whales.
Selling the baits i equipped 1 toon with everything including a +10 set and a +12 weapon when they were sold for insane prices
10k usd in 3 hours guys, not in 3 years
At that time there was a full scale war between dh and rs - naia and guess what i was so overgeared that everyone wanted me lol
from totally undergeared and rejected by everyone
to totally overgeared and wanted by everyone
in 3 hours - price 10k usd - the only thing i had to do was to punch in credit card numbers for 3 hours
it required to me 3 hours only because after the 1st grand the wallet is blocked untill someone from the support unblocks it
i could have done the same in less than 1 hour
That was august 2017 - i moved to chronos cuz naia at that time after the rs departure was dead [before the heine event there was the last ele shirt event
(guess how ppl made +10 shiny shirts to get that +16 r99 weapons)]
Then came the cloak event october 2017
I was in chat with sandra, a moderate spender too, and to get two cloacks legendary 10 and 15 he spent more than 30k $ in 6 days
(p.s. sandra was in nova) a moderate spender spent 30k usd in 6 days
Now do we wanna talk about the real whales? The real ones?
The ones who said they were selling the mats they've got from zaken server even if that server was closed 2 years before?
well multiply 10k and 30k usd x 100, to say the least x10 x event
i've seen what fleur wrote elsewhere in here, he's right
So please use the correct numbers, first.
Now to the topic
I've alwasy hated mixa when he does the mixa's things the mixa's way but this time i'm with mixa.
Also i don't understand why you are attacking Draecke.
When all the real whales began to enchant the circlets me, draecke, omenofsteel, yidao, even dudot, ozzy and exe told to ncwest lower the prices
Draecke sold it's greater vitality jewel to afford a circlet
at that time ms were too busy to brag in herochat, allychat, clanchat, worldchat trashtalking vs peppinio from nova
do you remember weiner? i do.
Do you remember when someone said in clanchat that peppinio's father was selling toilet paper for a living? Yeah i was there dude
And now you come in here to complain
You've just got what you really deserve
Two dead servers.
The only real reply in here was deleted
They buy to link their brand new toy in the chat, to let the others see they've got it first
this is on l2, this is on wow, this is everywhere in the videogame industry
the only difference is that in here it will cost to you a lot
I could have bought anything in here worst than weiner did
but the problem is a question i made to myself
do i really need to spend that much money to aoe in 1 second 3 clans in a siege?
the answer it's no, at all
i have other things to buy, things that i can touch irl
i'm still playing l2 spending the right amount of money and the right amount of time
So now the "professional cows" can enjoy what they've done
I'm more than sure that they will keep spending at least untill there will be another dude online to whom they can shift-link their gear.
So Bable2 is correct.
Btw i've logged in on naia and there are plenty of ppl buy and selling dragon claws as hardin event stuff
so ncwest business model is working as intended.
