You have my utmost support.

Beware of using too much logic and dissecting PA's thread on "inflation", you might get your thread deleted for arming the community with facts to fight against their senseless arguments.

Never forget tho:

1. They are misrepresenting inflation in an economy.

2. They are misrepresenting the bdo economy with discussing only silver gains.

3. They are misrepresenting silver gains with the chart provided.

4. They are misrepresenting previous cron price adjustments.

5. They are purposefully forgetting to add that new items require 100-300% more crons stones than 3 years ago.

6. They are purposefully forgetting to add that new item prices are 500-1000% higher than those 3 years ago.

7. They are purposefully forgetting that they adjusted crystal prices by 100-1000%, making them the biggest silver sink in the game if you want to actually use them at endgame spots.

Never forget. Never forgive.

I don't think they care unfortunately...they know there will be whales with very deep wallets that'll still throw rivers of money at them, even if according to the math other people have done, outfits are now less profitable in terms of crons compared to vendor crons at 3m, so they're getting pretty much scammed compared to what it is currently b4 patch. The grind was really rough, and now, it'll just be unbearable.

They were finally starting to be seen as a company that started to care for their game and playerbase, even big youtubers were surprised, which brought a lot of people into the game, and this made PA look at all the potential money, and they couldn't help themselves, they had to go back to their abhorrently greedy tactics.

I'll be making my last tapping spree on the day before the patch, I'll buy the crons with the billions I got, see if I can get at least one FG to TET (only real upgrades left for me to get apart from Deboreka, and screw deboreka enhancing), If I get it, I get it, if I don't, I don't, won't really matter, don't intend to even download the patch, this was the last straw for me, will be uninstalling, am so glad LOML didn't convince me to buy their outfits (which were cool, but, they didn't fix anything about the game and the expansion was a buggy mess), had my fun with the game, will be organizing stuff in the game in case for some reason I wish to come back like a masochist in 1-2 years, and that's it.

Despite the ups and downs in my gameplay, PvP or otherwise, had fun, met and played with a lot of amazing people, and I wish everyone in the game the best of luck if they keep going at it, or best of luck finding another game that respects you more than PA does.

To the community, thank you for all the good times. To PA...I see PA started deleting/hidding several posts that aren't in favor of your Cron and outfit changes...that's a real bad tactic...sheesh, expected better, even from PA.

The patch isn't even live and EU already have close to 50% increase in prices of TRI FG items xDDDDDDDD . Have fun grinding 25 more hours on top of the 50 you already did for every single TRI FG item, when people already got them at sub 50b silver literall a month ago. #progress.

If PA doesn't value our time, then we shouldn't value their game and just refuse to invest any money into it and also just play something else. Not even whales will want to put money into a game that is dying because of the company's poor decisions.

That's the whole point, they value your money, that's why they increase price of crons and outfits, and amount of crons you getting from it, because now its worth nothing. PA gave x2 silver from grinding and only increassing crone prices by x1.5 when they should do it to x2 to counter inflation they caused.

That sounds like a very backwards take on what is going on here.

PA has probably just noticed that there is not enough of an incentive to swipe for outfits in order to get crons or silver and now made it more difficult to get crons via F2P methods, thus trying to incentivize more swiping (not gonna work on me, and hopefully many others). 

You seem to gleefully ignore the fact that compared to back when people gained less silver, they also needed a lot less to get gear upgrades, because the bunch of Deboreka accessories (which are a major cron sink) were not around back then. Same goes for Slumbering Origin armor, which, starting at DUO -> TRI, also needs a LOT of crons. 

Also keep in mind that "double the silver as back then" is not being earned by your average player, the only people consistently making 1-2b/h are players that are already highly geared, and, guess what? Getting to a higher gear will become 50% more tedious starting Wednesday, because PA decided that the game was too friendly towards players that aren't interested in buying excess amounts of costumes from the Pearl Shop.

Everyone stops playing BDO because of these trash pay to win changes. The game becomes too WHALE friendly, too grindy, too bad. Right when the game was on a good path and kinda left the Pay 2 win realm, they decided "F U we the same as Kakao Games, just cash grabbing the f out of this game"

They actually gave me hope with the positive changes they made ever since they took over from Kakao and with the recent Heidel Ball, just to make some of the worst changes the game has ever seen to date, incredibly disappointing

Exactly, no point playing anymore, everyone quit :)
Cya never PA
