Are all of you wearing pink glasses or something?

1. Lineage was supposed to be hardcore, i guess. Hardcore = NOT grinding/farming/leveling 20 hours a day!

2. Main reason of a f*cked up economy is, Maintaining yourself to actually level. Soulshot arent an option, there a must! If you buy 5k soulshot for amount X, and you use that 5k ss to farm. The amount of adena you will get from farming is < X. (< = less then). When Luna launched i started again. But I quit after 2 weeks, ik was level 27 or 29 and i ran out of money, I was still using gear i got @ level 6.

ps. dont bitch and dont call me noob, i played the game for 5 years, i know what im talking about.

3. NCsoft is not gonna stop the adenafarming/ebaying business. Simply because ATLEAST 25% of the payed accounts are Farmers. And probably 80% of the "real" players will quit if they cant ebay. NCsoft needs them farmers, cause the game is bady designed.

4. All the problems stated above are core problems, therefor it will NEVER be fixed. Yes they have shadow weapons up to level whatever. They are just delaying the problems untill your on a higher level.

I could go on and on about this game, for example why it can never be a PvP game in its current state, fact is i played the game for 5 years  .C1 was cool C2 was ok, then it all went terribly wrong. 

Oh yea BTW, MMORPG's cannot be called games!

I dont see anything wrong with the prices. The people that complain about prices are the people who do not know how to make money in the game.

Thanks for the reply. I did forget to mention common items and that is my fault. Common items are a great addition to make weapons and armor cheaper. A lot of people don't even enchant their armor. This makes common armor very helpful for those people but the armor loses its set bonus. My main purpose was to show my view points and the game communities view points on the economy and how to help it. I hope this gives people a better understanding and a little more incite on Lineage 2's economy.

Most of these ideas were taken from the community. Unfortunately, I am limited to 1500 words. It is impossible to put forth all ideas in 1500 words or less so I just put in some. You have to remember that this isn't my job and I'm just doing this in the spare time of my real life. If other people think they can do it better...then do it.

nice article,

All i want in the game for materials or basic mats mostly would be. To give Warsmith's or any player the ability to crush and/or change loot items. To get materials from them. If you get avadon gaiters material, crush it and get skins and thread. Even better would be an option menu giving the exchange for that particular item. Make an Exchange Npc to see what possible items you could get for that exchange.

It would keep the basic mat prices down and also make it so there would be no taxes . Try it out on an event to see if it works. Has to be better than some of the earlier events we had.
 

Very interesting article and discussion.

But I think that you miss the point!

NCSoft earns money from botting and from selling adena for real money.

Actually NCSoft makes more money from botting and selling adena than from the subscription of the game!

So NCSoft forces the prices up to make more players to use bot programs and to pay real money for adena.

So this article is a nice try but has nothing to do with reality!

That's why NCSoft doesn't solve the problem with bots and adena.

It only bans some bots from time to time just to hide.

Lineage economy is based completely on bot system.

Even noobs know this!

Don't hide behind your thumb!
