More acceptable EC earning speed?

I understand what you mean, but right now is not easier.

I find 10 mob kills for 1 EC more monotonous and time consuming
than being PK-ed from time to time and still keeping all EC you made
from each kill.

Your spawn point is not far from mobs you farm on.

Yes, I would like to be safe there when blue named,
but this could be a sacrifice to give us what we need.

And satisfy more players than just farmers.
Well I said I like the idea, if people want to make it PK place then ok, I just hope no one will get disappointed, I know as PKer what for me means PK area(just to defend myself Im factionless so I dont gank :o)

This is not just PvE or just PvP server.

We can't ignore any of the groups, especially knowing
that lot of people like both PvE and PvP.

As I said, I would like to have that area PK free,
but not everyone would, and I don't play here alone.

Lone players play SkyRim or something...

The question is if Aga would even listen to us on this matter. :)

A "more acceptable" EC earning speed implies the current rate is unacceptable. Please put forth your arguments that supports this assertion.

You cite the difficulty of acquiring wealth as a reason for EPW to make EC farming easier, but this is already many times easier than PWI. I  run a couple of GVs, fire legions and Ares a week and vote 3 times a day and find myself to be accumulating EC at a reasonably fast rate. It's really not that hard, unless you just want to obtain all your gear within a week an call it quits.

All this would accomplish would be to drive the prices of current tradeables up, and increase the availability of R8 gear. It would most likely render dragon mostly, if not full out obsolete, and would also mean easier access to event/boutique forge items. The economy would suffer from heavy inflation from this.

For me EC is mats same as any other.
You need it for Boutique Forge, for R8 recast and so on...

I have 20 toons, my wife another 20-ish.
We were farming EC in GV pretty quick for basic needs.
Two of us, 6 toons together, good for Demonics for all
toons, for some Lunar Capes and so on.

But not for everything.

EXAMPLE: to get tripple -int on sin R8 wrists your average
attempts number is around 1000, which is around 103500 EC.
1035 days for lot of people who farm 100 EC daily on average.

1035 days is nearly 3 years, which means 300 EC per day still
doesn't make it faster than about a year. To make it in a month
you have to make 3500 EC each day.

And you still might not get it yet.

Days, weeks, months of farming, then nothing.

Those fricken' mat farmings in PWI to finish "Step 2"
crafting quests take much less time.

Do you want things to be worse here than there?

More important, do you want it worse for you,
or for those who don't?

Think of all people that work and can play just
couple of hours a day.

Then think all the people who play 10+ daily.
A PVE area where they can mass pull mobs and get massive bunches of EC?
Unbalanced. Sorry but "i only play 2 hours a day" is never a good saying because other people do the exact opposite. Same with changing TW times to pinoy timezone. It would mean the americans and euros would start losing out while the pinoys got times tendered to them.

"ugh" tell me about it, I have 9 r8 toons soon to be 10. and i can say that practically all my time here

is spent farming dragging my alts through gv and TT and it gets tedious at times. I spend most of my time

here alone. (not a complaint) just the way it is lol., i do all my bh's daily and hope for purple divines, I invite fac mates

after ive cleared to boss such as lunar sot abba and ws. So yeah it seems very tedious and too much like work lol

but i stick to it nether the less. I have learned many lessons from  playing pwi since closed beta. one of them is patience

There have been some days whilst  i continue on with my farming and i say to myself am i missing out on all the fun  :tiger-15: :tiger-15: :tiger-15:

There is solution to that too. Ranged mobs you can't easily mass pull.
Did you try to do it while farming Sand in Moonshade Desert?

Another thing: do you think it's fair to give noting to so many people
just because you hate to see some others getting more than now?

"10+ hours players" will just get how much they want faster, then do
something else when finish this.

We all do something else too. Some PK, TT, level up, BH, culti...

Maybe then, the problem isn't that EC farming is slow, but rather you're trying to gear up 20 characters? It's obvious that trying to gear up 20 characters will take much more time than to gear up one or two. Logically, spreading resources thin among many fronts will slow down progress speed. It's unreasonable to expect to be able to gear up 20 characters in the same amount of time one gears up 2 or 3 characters.

You get out of the game what you put into it. I have a full time job and I certainly don't expect to achieve those aspirations any time soon, but that shouldn't stop other people who do have the time and dedication to achieve those. The game isn't designed so that everyone can reach triple int or triple chant. If it were, everyone should just have gear handouts and we'd just PVP all day.

i found ec rate like 300 ec/ hour the way i am farming, i think im fine with it as long as im 95 % afk

DJBFF

I think that this is a bad idea because if you get 1 ec a mob, this game would be boring, many people get desperate for all that ec, and I know how it feels, it feels great when you have reached your goal after all that farming, so I wouldn't complain abbot it.
