Hey everyone
Most might not agree with this, but I feel like it is fucking things up a lot here.
The market has been broken ever since the meta dragons were introduced. They are indeed a great addition to the game and I enjoyed them from the start. I think there is an unnecessary reason for this. Let me explain why.
Last fall, when the eggs and relics were added, everyone went crazy. It's normal, it was a new way to spend gold... on something useful. You reach a point of the game where making gold isn't so hard and buying wearables can tire you. Some like to weak ugly ass strobe clothings and other ultra uber super white and stuff, but I feel like for a majority of the population, these items seem useless. They don't add anything to the game. It's just vanity in an environment where... vanity seem ridiculous to me.
Anyways, with the introduction of eggs and relics, most people wanted their own and started paying a toooooon of gold for it. That isn't an issue. The issue is that with time and decreased droprate, they became even more expensive.
Eggs prices have come down as their rarity increased because more and more people had them. But relics are so damn rare the prices are going up! I bought my first relic (bloody talons) for 2 mils about 6 months ago. Now they go for 5-6. That leaves the older player with very nice stuff they bought for a lower amount of gold while having more gold than the newer players who can't really afford the relics.
I think the relics droprate should go way up. What is it now, 20% maybe? That means that if there are an average of 15 people doing a champ, and a 20 % droprate, one would need what (I suck at maths)... around a 100 champs to have a chance to loot a relic... which could be a gold relic? (btw, when is the update on that one? it should be transformed into a control relic...)
Prices are too high. Rich, older player have theirs, newer players can't get their hands on it.
It's the same thing with taming SS. I GMed taming paying 125-135k per taming SS, now they're the double of that price. I could never have been abled to buy the scrolls at that price, why should the newer players have to? You don't even make more or less gold from looting them. Half the droprate, double the price, it's a break even for taming SS farmers but a hell for newer tamers.
The system right now gives a huge advantage to already rich, established players, while making the life of newer ones a living hell.
The meta talismans are making dexxers more efficient. Dexxers are usually for newer players... but they can't afford the relics either (hell, I can't afford them myself).
If we increased the droprate on relics, making them cheaper, the game would fine a new balance between newer and older players, making things more accessible. There's no way it's right for an old player to have been able to afford 110, 115 or 120 taming with a meta pet in a year while a new one would need, say, a year and a half. It's unfair.
Not only would it do that, but it could correct the market for other things, that aren't meta-anything related.
As a disclaimer, I have a stage 6 dragon with arguably the 3 best relics (for champs anyways, one could argue bloody talons is a better one, but it's a single target only). I would lose a ton of gold if you did what I ask. But I think the game would be better for everyone.
And maybe, maybe people would actually pay for the dragons EXP, which require a loooooooot of time, because they'd simply have more gold, having spent less on the eggs and relics.
What do you think?
