Gold Wipe Poll

[RandomDude]

I haven't had time to think this one through but what about a gold:xp conversion with exponentially decreasing returns?

Would that even be something that players want? It would be a nice way to take out a big chunk of xp that's needed for levelling in the low-mid 30's.

Why not wipe everything instead?

[Rhekimos]

Wipe gold, looms, levels, titles, posts and passwords too. It's the only way to be sure.

[Osiris]

you should totally let me merge alts! say get rid of my gen 2-3-4 alts and transfer xp to mains! would totally make sense in this convo and not just benefit me who has many

[Pandemona]

How about you implement shop respecs to make it easier for us to get rid of our unnecessary gold ?

It would be great for those who want to try over 9000 builds within a day, also it might mean lesser retirements because most people will no longer need to retire and change their builds, therefore lesser loompoints around which will probably increase loompoint prices therefore reduce the amount of gold players have.

For example, i just realised that i've made a mistake with my build and put 3 to shield instead of 2. So please allow me to pay for it with my gold rather than my time. If you want you can make it more valuable as you get to higher levels as well.

So if you are worried about people changing their builds before strategus battles to have the class advantage, it will cost them so much that it will not be a viable way.

My posts i sent few weeks ago about excessive gold we have at the moment, i am still of the same mind.

paying for respecs and loom change would be nice ye

Let people dump their gold into some cosmetics. Make off-season items available for some gold for example (1 mil for a christmas hat or pumpkin head etc). If you make something ridiculously expensive the people with money to burn with pay for it, especially if they can show it off in game. Basically we need TF2 hats

That and let people dump their gold into some titles that get announced when they join the server like for the people who own fiefs, or let people skip the respec timer. Stuff like that.

Don't just delete gold. That undermines the progression which is half of what makes some players come back and stay invested in their character

Please let me know in advance so I can buy about ten thousand plated chargers before the wipe. For entirely unrelated reasons. Certainly not for the purposes of an armored horse based tax haven.

And remove booths. They don't help the market at all.

Hmmm, I actually find this puritanical approach pretty convincing.

Also that players shouldnt be able to spend gold on looms like you say. IMO even with your suggestion, as long as there are market sharks there will be some people who never have to worry about gold or upkeep. Which is unfair to the grinders. So should the market in general be limited?

I personally believe the market was the single worst addition to the mod. It made chadz and crew lazy. They used it as an excuse to not deal with some problems, and it's part of the reason gold is so out of control today. It's too late to straight up remove it, but it needs to be reined in. Getting rid of booths is a good start. I like loom exchanges, but not the idea of selling loom points. I liked it when the amount of looms you had was directly related to your gen. It felt more personal back then. If they add more gold sinks, but also limit the ways the market makes some players super rich, they can then attempt to balance gold gain.

Stop killing the mod! If you will wipe; you have to wipe everything like gold, lp, experience otherwise just a bullshit.

[Gristle]

If you will wipe; you have to wipe everything

Why does it have to be all or nothing?

[RexArmadilo]

wipe is not a solution

Maybe you can do new exp/gold and repair system

Stop killing the mod! If you will wipe; you have to wipe everything like gold, lp, experience otherwise just a bullshit.

[Mirliva]

Why does it have to be all or nothing?

Why there must be a wipe? This is the question. If there'll be a wipe; it have to be for all because there is people that only playing for fun like STF Characters and STF Characters need golds. And also; if you wipe golds "marketplace" will be fucked up.

[fetus]

Looms are expensive and people not buying it instead they loom their own items by retiring..
Wiping gold is not a good idea but maybe you can make it hard to gain ? Idk how tho

[Bronto]

I know someone already said this but I'm reinforcing the point:

Sell heirloom points all the time on shop tab where you buy other items. Just add an icon.

Sell respecs all the time in the same manner.

Charge ludicrous prices, rake in that digital dough.
