[color="#cc8899"]Noticed something this patch that pretty much makes me disgusted in the player market in gMS right now -
Hard to find maple weapons results in massive hoarding, stockpiling, inflation, and general greed. People who have no intention of ever using the guns/knuckles/shields are hoarding them, buying all of them they can find to hold for several months after the patch. This in itself makes the items appear even more rare than they really are, further inflating them (vicious cycle).
This is the first year the pirate weapons have been available and, thanks to the actions of a small percentage of each server, few will actually be able to enjoy them. Even when the anniversary worked this way 2 years ago, people were still able to get the weapons they wanted/needed at a relatively decent price once the patch had been going for more than a day or two, and people were quite willing to share information on where to get each item.
Tldr, bad move Nexon for making Maple Items difficult to find this year, and I'm disgusted in the community right now for the greed and hoarding therein.
-Note-
This isn't a rant, just a reflection. While there I am a bit angry over the way this patch is working out, I really don't find it PoH worthy.[/COLOR]
