How bad are no-delay hackers in your server?

First 1-4 dojo spots usually taken up by them over here... tons of CRA/empress items being sold by them... is it this bad in the other servers?

Lol well when you do it right at the reset no one really has a chance to that day

@CaptCandy: I agree with this. Paying is famous for his damage, but there are so many more NL's that hit 50m also.

I'm always about 5-10 seconds off of beating a hacker in dojo for first place.
Extremely annoying at times.

@Feeling: People don't need to be famous to be strong. Some people just play the game and not socialize or make videos, so people don't know them.

They just log in, merch/farm events, boss, sell for profit, upgrade equips, etc. while not socially interacting with anyone else in game.
It doesn't mean they don't socialize, for instance, they could be on messanger or playing with their friends while doing so.

It's not that hard to do so either, given the profitability of events and merching, one can easily accumulate a couple hundred bil in a year.

For instance I've made slightly over 100b in the past 3 months, yet I'm not a famous merch in Bera; nobody knows me like @CherryTigers or any other big name merchers.
Especially since I usually merch 'smaller' 1b or less 'no name' items in vast quantities on these characters, things may seem like several people while in fact, it's one person using multiple characters.

That's why I wouldn't be surprised if there are dozens people making hundreds of bils (or spending thousands in NX or good stuff) without acknowledgement at all while getting strong.

@Scomomage: no i didn't use it to explain the situation. i was simply telling him that the purchasing power of mesos isn't increasing. You seem to know quite a bit about economics. I felt the need to correct him in the simplest way i could and he would've just gotten confused with the way you define inflation and deflation but then again so would dictionary.com

It's not too bad in GAZED. There's only a handful of hackers here and only 2-4 of them run weekly. I can beat most of their times anyway, so they're not a problem for me.
6:30 ish can even get Rank 1 Gloves on slow days sometimes.

@CaptCandy: Their buff in Seed is definitely overkill. xD
They have really good DPS as it is (maybe I'm just saying that because I'm an Aran...).
I can't even think of 3 super-strong Kaisers in our server...

[quote=The0neAnd0nly]That's depressing because I've seen you get in the lower six minute range in dojo.
I'm not sure how high your range is but with you time you should be able to get 1st at least once a weak.

Haha yeah he uses no delay on all his chars

@Feeling: Really? I looked up top 3 for Bera a week ago, and they were all lvl 2xx Kaisers, which prompted me to ask the question, "Do Kaisers Really Need a 50% Buff?" in Seed

You're missing a crucial part of the definition, which you ironically posted. Inflation deals with a fall in the purchasing power of currency. RA equips are getting cheaper from supply, not the purchasing power of mesos, so your usage of inflation is a bit liberal.

I don't know about no delay hackers, but in Windia, even if you get a 6:xx dojo time, you might still get top 50 gloves only.

[quote=saaww]^true story. the real reason for CRA equips inflation is that the drops are seperate for each pt member now. so a pro who can solo just gets 5 lvl180 mules with him and get x6 the drops.[/quote]

It's deflation.

It's about the same here in Bera, usually around 3 or 4 out of the top 10 are hackers. Getting rank 1 gloves is extremely difficult for legits now.

[quote=raystarlmao]There's a new system for boss drops. You can get 6x the normal drops now from bosses like CRA & Empress.[/quote]

[quote=MasonGrayson]Top dojo spot in BelloNova is usually taken by hackers, I believe. Top 10 is still manageable at the right times, though.[/quote]

Not really hackers (no-delay), they kill the bosses legit but they use a program that teleports them to the next room after they kill a boss.

In Scania it's pretty hard for any legit player to obtain top 1 Dojo Glove; most of them are obtained by hackers and some did more than a day just to probably piss us off.
