This game is very much based on a market economy, and the concept of a "greedy" bishop is EXTREMELY hypocritical when the fact of the matter is that many on this board and elsewhere that harbor animosity towards bishops purchasing ele wands do so because they secretly hope that prices would plummet as a result of ele wands incurring reductions, thereby ruining bishops all around and taking a significant hit on Nexon's finances too. I suppose we really should institute land reform while we're at it because it sounds to me like you have a problem with the fundamental concept of haves and have nots being dictated by their ability to purchase said items.
What idiot would go to NLC gach otherwise o_O;; For the? The fact that some of these wands are gached at Mushroom shrine also suggests that people are more inclined to gach there, increasing the supply of dark scrolls even more so and making scrolled items cheaper in general. While the wands themselves are not necessarily the central reason why people gach, the simple fact that there is a chance to obtain one, as well as other things is an incentive that steers many to spend money on gach, especially those on the fence about the matter.
I did go spend $20 right when Ele weapons came out to try for one. Since then, I never have. The fact of the matter is that nowadays, chances are you're not going to get one. I haven't known anybody who's gacha'd for Ele Wands at NLC since their release.
The problem I have with a Bishop buying the multi-colored wands is that by doing so, AMs who have much more of a use for them can't get them. If ele wands were common, I'd have no problem with it. But since they're so rare, it makes it much harder for AMs to get the weapons.
If there was a famine, and there were only 10 loaves of bread and 10 people in a store, is it fair if one person buys half of them just for themselves?
But we're arguing about one case here. I know that most Bishops just buy 1 wand and then go back to training.
What I really want is just a reply. Even if I don't get my way and there's no damage reduction, I'd be upset but I wouldn't quit because of it.
