Show me your lunchbox!

lol. how long have you been playing?
nexon did a very dumb thing a while ago, back when they released nlc.
they released the pots. that was dumb. if you want the cause of inflation today, blame the pots.

yeah, youll say "but those pots are the only pots worth buying"! exactly. because it used to have some semblance of balance. now it doesnt.
nexon decimated the only significant meso sink in the whole game.

nexon cut my pot cost in half! now lets extend this to mages... well pre-nlc, mages would buy elixirs. they got up to 8k each. mana bulls are the same 2800. nexon quartered pot costs for mages!

now lets say that across windia, maybe 5000 people train like i do every day, and 1/2 are mages nowadays. you just introduced about 2b in meso into the economy from people saving on pots instead of spending. EVERY DAY. its been like 500 days or so since nlc got released, roughly estimating. who the pineapple has 1t mesos they arent supposed to have? everybody.

it isnt because nexon introduced a scroll worth 1b. its because you spent less on pots every day. and so did everyone else.

While that is true, without these pots, nobody but the rich would be training with the ultimates. HEck, the only people training would be those that are bent on leveling. Which means the other people will focus on making money, which means more monopolizing of Horntail, Zakum, and selling leech. And finally, which is unfortunate because it'll destroy the certain social structure of present-day MS.



Note though, that they didn't remove the only gold sink, they merely reduced the value of the sink.
