Pretty sure with ZeeeQi's script release to public, Balron's are not always being farmed! **In Response To Earlier Post** ((2AM CST and still here farming 4AM nobody else has come)) - ZeeeQi's the only one I see during this time Balron farming the last two days so he's still making good gold even after releasing the script. It effected those when he's not farming basically so he's still making good income for several hours. My view on this is.. IT IS WHAT IT IS.. You change anything people gonna complain.. YOU don't change anything people gonna complain! You cannot make everyone happy it's just the way of life. I rather be doing something else right now but i'm doing a public service by taking nearly half of ZeeeQi's income currently
.
I think +C should be working on other things than Variable cooldowns because no matter what gets done people will find a way around it regardless.
BTW! I've noticed while I had a shift change in RL and when I can be on, that from 10PM CST-6AM or later AFK checks do not exist at all (3 Weeks of farming personally during these hours non stop with 0 AFK checks).. Is this why Parox and others farm during this time
Maybe a NEW GM that can be on during these hours would be a good thing perhaps? We are more worried about when most people can be on than when barely anyone is on.. Which is when some of the top tier players are hard at work making that gold with no other contenders without anyone else realizing.
** BTW +C your random Green HUGE blood elemental AFK check (9PM CST time) two days before auction asking what color am I was good! First time i've seen something other than what day is it.**
Couple of points: 1) You whining about timezones is really low, as someone who has to manipulate RL work etc to attend any auction due to thhem being timed best of US/EU players makes me mad.
Take the good with the bad. If I get a few hours of fewer players competitng for a spawn, that's excellent, but it doesn't make up for the fast the other 90% of the time I am shafted.
2) Naming and, attempting to shame, especially by making an inference some players are choosing the time they do activities to avoid scrutiny, is exceptionally low form. Scummy even. We have some unwritten forum etiquette here, notice nobody else is naming players. This kind of highlights the point to your post, that you are here to "take down" certain players, not add constructively to the argument.
Back to some general comments on this thread.
There seems to be an argument for "Punishing a player because they play the game too much". Constant reminders that they "play for hours farming gold" I understand it is frustrating that I can't play as much as I want, and you all feel the same. But this is not a fair or valid argument. It's a rather stupid one.
The other big thing that is i believe being overlooked, now that ZeeeQi has been named, is the discrepency in the perceived wealth gain vs the actual reality. We all have the auction data. ZeeeQi, paroxysmus and others you have mentioned ARE NOT SPENDING THE MOST GOLD AT THESE AUCTIONS. So, if their methods are annoying you, then you must be really mad at the few top dogs who spend significantly more, right? No, you're not annoyed at them. Because you've bought into the faux rage that a few players continue to stir around the "issue" of ballys. If you read the auction data you should be laying serious questions on how thhe real big spenders get their gold, we should be nerfing that, right? If this is actually about the good of the economy then there is an obvious problem, bigger than balrons, damaging it. Balrons is a distraction so the rich get richer and young players like ZeeeQi and Paroxysmus are struggling to catch up.
Last point, with ZeeeQi releasing the script for free (not charging 10s of millions for it like the other thread) and offering to help set it up, 100% of players now have access to this same wealth source. So, the problem is literally solved and +C can get back to much more important things, like FREEING THHE HUES! You cannot logically deny this statement is correct. If you do, you are really making a statement like "tell them to stop playing the game better than me". You wouldn't tell Daigo to stop using a shoriuken in Street fighter, because you couldn't beat him, right? If we take this balron problem and apply the ad infinitum argument to it, we will in a few months be saying, nerf X... a few months later, nerf Y, etc, ad infinitum. At some point we must all acknowledge there will always be more and less efficient ways to obtain gold in this game. Some of the posts have made it clear this is not actually about balrons being a problem, but that some of us, through lifestyle choices, can play the game for more hours than others and some players are annoyed at that.
EDIT: I Just noticed the auction data and actual wealth has been posted in the other thread on this topic. Logic dictates the discussion will turn at this point, right? Since we can now see the balrons are not the main problem, something else is... if this argument is actually about economy and not about keeping younger players poorer than the older ones...
