Meso Farming Crackdown

My sources have told me that Nexon is really starting to crackdown on meso farmers. A guy I know was told by multiple farmers that their bots have all been banned and that they wouldn't have mesos available in the foreseeable future. If there is validity to this statement I think we will start to see a more positive Maplestory experience. In general how would you guys feel about Maplestory's prospects, without the huge influx of mesos being introduced into the Maple economy long term?

[quote=beradude4090]no what he said is correct. Learn definitions please[/quote]

Apparently you're confused too.

The post he replied to: "meso rates have doubled over the past week, the inflation is insane but at least this deflates the items in the fm"

Which is essentially saying meso rates doubling over the course of a week is indicative of insane inflation and since mesos are harder to get, items that are bought with these mesos will naturally cost less.

What he replied with: "That isn't inflation. That is deflation. Fewer mesos means the cost of the meso goes up"

Which is saying meso rates doubling is indicative of deflation, which is flat out untrue. He wasn't talking about items, because the post he was replying to already mentioned deflation on items which are bought with the currency that doubled in value.

So I don't really know what either of you are talking about. Mesos inflated, items deflated.

[quote=AssMuppet]Considering all my tyrants are 15 stars and nobody makes 15 star bowman tyrants thats hard to believe. Nor can anyone sell untradable items that can only be attained in game.

My heart was scrolled with primes I had from the 9th anniversary. My superior gollux set was pre-scrolled by a 3rd party for an nx trade, but I cubed it myself. My black shoulder was paid for by nx unscrolled. Long story short almost all my items were self made. Very few people keep dex when they cube it, because it's not considered expensive enough. (Even though its scarcity drives up the prices in the higher tiers.) Most meso vendors don't sell items or if they do they're grossly over priced. So to say any of my purchases funded meso sellers is very unfounded and deeply based in misguided speculation as well as personal vendetta.[/quote]

I contacted the major player meso vendors in Windia and asked them about it.

I think that the reason why meso prices are going up now is because they just patched the meso exploit from star world.

I haven't leveled in a long time. I have no excuse for how I behaved other than I wasn't in the best of places emotionally. I may not have treated people poorly, but I did in fact do things I'm not proud of. I got a well deserved month long ban awhile back, and I no longer macro in an definition of the word. Sorry to any maplers that I made feel like their efforts meant nothing, but its that same feeling that got me started in macroing in the first place. I did my time and if I do decide to train again it will be legitimately.

5 Items I own were previously owned by someone else. I can show you the original and its current state if you would like. You make accusation, but you have no evidence to suggest it's the truth. You can either retract what you said, or you can provide evidence to show that I am wrong. If not I can dig through the items I have purchased and show you the values upon purchase and then where they sit now.

Nice to hear that the botter Monopoly will take a hit.

Making clean slates costs spell traces and meso was a meso sink idea.

If it was pre-made how did I complete it? Anyways, glad to see you're being pleasant as always. Grats on the 250 by the way I know you worked hard.

Edit: (I've also been close to quitting a couple times. Chances are the gear you saw pre-completion was me trying to sell it before I went back and perfected it.)

Eventually it will be cheaper to buy Shield Scrolls than try your luck with Clean Slates. Good job, Nexon.
With meso rates this high, NX rates will drop to the point where people won't bother selling it and will just use it for themselves.
Maybe people will realize spending 25b to star force Tyrants to 12 stars is a bad idea, hmm? 25b * $9/b * $0.80/1k NX = 282k NX.
I'm sure you can get a Tyrant to 12 stars with that much NX, when Guardians are only 2.4k each.

It's way too late for nexon to crack down on mesos farmers. They should have done this years ago bc right now the inflation is so high that you need to buy mesos in order to do well in this game. Cutting back on mesos farmers will not do much with all the mesos already in the economy. The prices may slightly go down but w/o more mesos sinks of any kind it won't have a big affect at all to the game economy. What needs to be done is basically remove majority of the mesos in the game already. However, that will just make everyone upset and create even more problems. Point is there hardly anything Nexon can do now to fix the game with out hurting some players in game experience. Nexon went too long being lazy and not caring and this is the price they need to pay now.
