So much petulant butthurt. So little time. Might as well start at the top and take it in order:
- Thanks for the apt demonstration of what I was talking about, Lexius. The hunting and digging dovetail nicely into doing missions, which (at least on the crafting side anyway) has simply taken the place of grind-crafting for cash and levels at the stables.
Which would be massively overcrowded with players doing the same were it not for the revaluation of the dapper. But hey, so long as YOU'RE happy, everyone else can go to hell, right? Right. Moving on, but again - thanks for the apt demonstration. Enjoy your charmed life.
- And thank YOU, Subox, for not being one of those whiners. What's the difference?
You actually brought up a viable complaint. You're right. Hunter missions are exceptionally undervalued. If an adventurer is risking life and limb on, say, a bounty hunt for bandits, they should get paid handsomely for it because the adventurer(s) is (are) out there doing something the guards should be doing but for some odd reason cannot.
I don't think it's too much to ask for that kind of complaint to be more prevalent. I'm sick to DEATH of hearing what people DON'T want. Thank you for saying what you DO want. It shows you've actually thought about the issue instead of just whining about it like the previous poster.
- Riku, I disagree that our grind trash should be worth anything to a merchant. By definition, a merchant is a person who buys low and sells high. Frankly, I'm amazed they even allow us to compete with them on such favorable consignment terms.
As far as the optimal path to wealth, I have to again state that I see very little difference in doing the crafting missions and parking my butt at the stables grind-crafting. If anything, it's made the money-making process a bit more efficient in my eyes. Maybe even helps form an actual economy by creating artificial supply and demand (since the missions never change, the same mat types are always required).
- Jela, I agree that the missions lack variety. All the regular missions need some kind of re-write. I'd happily volunteer for the job. Where do I apply?
- Neela, see the difference between "whining" and "complaining". Thanks in advance.
