He was in our sister guild and we do have 200 players, so he very well could have got mats from others. Plus the refining mats were super cheap and plentiful when the elite areas were dropping them like candy.
In Alpha (with a lot less avail of resources), one guy did 200 all professions twice with 30 /played days. So 20 days with how things were since launch is completly plausible. Not all server markets are the same. We never seemed to have duped void ore or gear on ours for example. The most ever up on our TH was maybe 4. Usually just 1 or none.
not entirely true. am at 200 on all trade skills after nearly 700 hrs gameplay…and yet there’s still few mats i cant find even doing hard farming to get it and use to craft item that i want. being at 200 doesn’t mean u can craft anything yet as single person and yet still need help from others to supply specific mats for certain craft.
Let me get this straight, after reading your post there.
Summary:
You want to penalize people who have put in hours of effort to be self reliant because you can’t sell things on the market at absurd prices.
Mind, not every world has an economy as you have described. On my server the higher end materials are more expensive than the lower end ones. The economy you have described is only generated due to the severe lack of real game economy created by the minimal gold earning, lack of npc merchants, and having to solely rely on the desires of other players to produce much needed coin to pay taxes/repair costs/ and crafting fees. Yes, people want and need to earn gold, but prices will only change due to supply and demand (supply being the key issue when initial resources such as iron, raw hide, green wood, and such have been nerfed in regards to gather quantity per node).
Restricting people will actually make it worse. This will now make crafting more of a pain and people will stop buying things even more so than they are now. After over 560 hours, and mind not everything is 200 in my refining, gathering, or crafting by far, but getting pretty close, I can honestly tell you that if suddenly everything were restricted I would simply stop crafting and quite possibly stop playing the game all together. It just would be viable gold wise to have to rely on buying things from others in a game like this with the way the current economy is set up.
in your opinion is what I’m worried about lmao .seems to be very flawed atm sorry to inform you . And how you have responded to each comment shows you only have a 1 sided thought process. Sorry to tell you . If any very few people that have played mmo,s would agree with this idea for this game it would kill it… unless your are one of those pvp try hards… Which kinda seems that is probably what you main focus is pvp .
Yes, our guildie at 200 asks our leader to make him weapons and armor. He has spent time grinding the mats, but not on acquiring all the trophies and crafting gear to do it himself.
There should be a max quantity of points available to use throughout crafting/gathering. How one goes about distributing their points is their choice. This is absurd to enable king of all trades - eliminates the specialized mechanics of preferred crafters. AH should list Player names (optional) so players may cater to one over another. SWG pre cookie cutter comes to mind and why crafters really valued the mechanics of that game (yep - bugs and all).
Crafted gear should be bind on equip not bound when picked up, ie made. This apparently is on legendary gear. People that specialize in making gear cannot sell this gear to others as it is bound when created.
yeah…the only left rn is fishing cuz it makes me sleepy when doing it…just standing and throwing fishing pole…but am working on it now at 72/200. trying to get the fishing questline done by the weekend which require lvl 100 as last step to get Fishing Legend.
Completing trophy is really pain due to lacking of the specific mats and trying to buy it isnt an option cuz its totally overpriced in my server.
give or take…it might take another 6 months or even a year or more to get everyone to be able to make everything and only if everyone wanted to make everything themself cuz going for 200 isnt an easy job especially furnishing!
