@xwalero: Why is it every time a pro take advantage of something, it's dirty... Every legit players began with the same thing when they started to maple. Why is it that some can work their way up and become pro while some can't... Making spell trace easier to obtain does help the less funded ones because they don't need to waste meso on that. But, since the pros are gaining so much from it, all of a sudden it doesn't make sense anymore.
It's a simple logic. Pros gain more because they aren't on the same level with the less funded ones. If Nexon were to give away something like 5%all stat neb to every players, ofc pro will gain more range from that single neb compare to the less funded one. Are you going to say that "pros are taking advantage of the nebs in such a dirty way" again? That makes no sense at all.

As for the price of endgame equips... You're just not seeing the main point of it. A lot of people with above average scrolled equips doesn't mean there aren't new players who need those equips or their new char that they decided to start playing.

[quote=c5548christine]You mean it's not stupid if they are all dirt cheap, and even mules have a full set of RA and tyrant? Like I said, it's just wrong if endgame equips are dirt cheap. How is nerfed drop rate make anything easier to farm? Do we get more drops from shared drop system? I can't understand your logic.[/quote]
At this point, it doesn't even matter if endgame equips are cheap, 'cause there's a LOT of people with above-avg scrolled equips... the clean ones won't make a difference.
Nerfed drop rate has nothing to do with this event... you can get spell traces from boxes, attendance, evo world, crusader coins, and still, they went from 25k to 90k. That doesn't make any sense. It's just a hype because of the I-wanna-scroll-everything fever because of star force. Even though this updated was supposed to help new players, "pros" are taking advantage of the scrolls anyway in such a dirty way (I mean come on, it's more than 100% of the original price).

[quote=c5548christine]People don't seem to understand that no one born rich on maple. If they sold lots of nx to begin with, then they deserves it. I don't see why pay-to-win is wrong on a free to play game. Not all my guildies sold nx to become pro either. It's just not right when endgame equips are so cheap. It got too cheap that I can put a set of RA + tyrant cape on my mules. That's just not right..
It IS too bad for lazy new players, but not all new players.
It's so silly now that people quit maple because they can't be a freeloader anymore.[/quote]

I guess you are right, I forgot that everybody went trough that, I guess im just sad that I havent baught one sooner aha

I'm more disappointed TGI Fridays increased the price of Fridays Shrimp by $2 </3

[quote=xwalero]It's just stupid that they're so expensive... it's even easier than before to get them. I'm not joining the hype game, just gonna farm then and if I need more, wait til they're the 25k they deserve to be lol.[/quote]

[quote=JoeRochette]I mean, I'm not a socialist, but I feel like maple is all about getting the pros richer because they are the only one that can get those drops and they are the only one making money off this. Thats too bad for the new players [/quote]

There was a point when the so called "pros" were poor and helpless too. By the way, people these days have it so easy. Ra tops are like 50m. Back when I was starting to fund it cost 3-4b clean. It baffles me as to why people complain about these new prices. We all went through it. Now it's your turn

[quote=Millipede]Boss drops are no longer individual among players in the map, they are back to the old drop system which was shared drops. That, and I believe drop rate was nerfed to some extent or is not working correctly so there's a big increase in prices since there will be a lot less supply.[/quote]
Do you mean elite mobs? I thought I read something in the notes about those being instanced. (I think the actual elite boss is instanced)

I have no idea what the hell is up with the Spell Trace increase. The Nut Boxes made them EXTREMELY easy to be able to farm.

After the maintenance, I went to go buy some Spell Traces and they jumped from 13k each to 36k each.

How do all of the boss drop/spell trace sellers instantly know that demand is suddenly up from the starforce patch? The second the patch went live, spell traces went from 20k to 80k. It's like someone planned this

You can buy spell trace for the silent crusade shop. Only from the npc in edelstein, not from the ui

Event box gives a ton of them... I dont see why they're going up.. Maybe just a bubble?

Spell traces in Broa have also mass inflated to 75kish o.o

75m you say? I'll be 100% scrolling weapons from now on.

People want to scroll so they can enhance.

You can easily just get spell traces from evo or crusader shop now...15-20 coins for 100 traces if I remember correctly.

Spell traces are 80k-100k in El Nido... that's just too much. They were like 25-30k.

I guess I'll just wait longer before I buy one -.-

lol we decided no longer cheap fafnirs f2
dunno about the rest tho ;

Boss drops are no longer individual among players in the map, they are back to the old drop system which was shared drops. That, and I believe drop rate was nerfed to some extent or is not working correctly so there's a big increase in prices since there will be a lot less supply.
