Edit: Nvm, mind was changed.
You complain when your gears were bad at the heavy farming ppl had to do to gear up and the few ppl who put the effort out to do so now you complain about how easy it is too gear now that your gears are better …
People really care about a pixel economy. Who would bother farming in game when they could work hard in real life and use the money for the better good?
"I have no problems with it, so obviously everything is fine."Just because you're not having issues selling and buying items, doesn't mean other people aren't. I've seen many, many people in world chat, guild chats, etc... trying to sell their damas and having very little luck for days on end before this expansion was announced. In regards to the pinoys, of course people are going to be buying and selling things like crazy at the moment; everyone is preparing for the new race (as you said yourself). After that though, the economy will dwindle again just like it was before everyone knew there was a patch coming. Damas very rarely sold then, even at 12-13ec each.
there are individuals who are waiting on any slight change to come from PEs, as they have stacked banks upon banks of Damas with these ridiculously low current prices, essentially waiting like a predator, and once their moment comes we will see the heaviest inflation in the EPW Economy ever.

Ok ? Never understood ppl who bring up real life as argument on anything game related but yeah x D
So the only way this could've been remedied is if it wasn't introduced at all. *shrug*
I've noticed that the people having issues selling shit are selling too high, and those people having issues buying are buying too lowsame economics as alwaysso what's your indicator that epw's economy is shit? you'll have to pardon me if I don't simply take your word for it, thus far your only explanation of "PE have completely destroyed the main way many people farmed EC or rerolls (by making damas useless)" is flat out wrong and garbage -- people are constantly buying and selling damas in world chat still, nothing has changed other than the price -- as someone who made 200-250k ec a week before PE's and massive ec sinks like cape engrave there's this thing you do in a market that's called adjusting. people who fail to adjust will have the most problems, but that's no indicator of the market being crap, just the player. you're agreeing with domgrath, who's most notorious for being one of the biggest players who has trouble adjusting to anything.
Donation. Why farm in game when you can get it quicker by working irl. More power to you if you got money like that to blow on a private server. But I'll take my hard-earned cash and put it towards the stuff that matters to working adults...like bills and outside entertainment (take that anyway you want
