an apology doesnt fix an economy but its a nice thing to do
The economy was doomed to be ruined on patch day by the extremely hasty/dedicated crafters. I for one welcomed the preliminary patch notes because I often find myself going broke on day one of patch. Early release of notes helped me to dodge that bullet! :)
Too bad he didn't apologize for lying about 4star recipes only coming in 3.0. . .
oh nose not the economies what are you going to do now that you cant exploit the rare shinys because people who complain about something that can make something drop more is more worried about that sort of stuff.
He didn't need to apologize. He doesn't control the players.
The people who whined about this are likely mad they couldn't make it to the market boards in time before they were bought out.
And lets take 2 seconds to think. - This would have happened right after the game went live anyway. :/. Someone explained it in another post but this was more beneficial than detrimental.
Early patch notes was a good thing as I stated in another post. I don't think it was an accident, I think SE was testing the water and giving anyone behind the curve a chance to get mats before the patch day with no real harm to the MB. The harm would have come today if the notes weren't out before and players with gil bought the boards clear. 3 Days early allowed ppl to sell off mats or buy them, it allowed players to myth farm for mats to sell at a much higher than normal price. I think what happened was good all around. It will help the MB trasition into patch 2.4. Note the revised patch notes reduced the GC seals needed to buy coke, peacock ore and things like that. I don't know when the change was made but I spent all my seals on GC mats and would have saved them if I saw the lower number. Having all this info out as a "mistake" but leaving out a large drop in GC mats cost. Yeah, no mistake there on the notes, just giving us prep time weather we craft or not.
So, it's a big deal that this happened today instead of Wednesday?
Yoshi-P is a good guy, hes doing what he can. Don't rush him.
I'm not sure why early patch notes would be that bad. With several days of lead time, instead of paying through the nose on the market boards you can take the opportunity to acquire what you need yourself. If we had just now gotten the recipes, whoever logged in first would empty the shelves and the immediacy of new content requiring three Golden Boar Asses or what have you would jack the price up to nutball levels as well as give you no option but to pay unless you want to fall far behind.
Leaving out the GC cost drop was a mistake as well. English is the only language they were left out of, I believe. I know the Japanese notes had them in.
These notes had various mistakes all across the board. I'm pretty sure none of it was intentional. They just weren't very organized at all in making these notes.
the funny part about this is ppl rush to buy all the Field Demimateria II and make its price goes up to 47k on Excalibur and then rush to re-sell it later down to the original price 7k/each, and that was a hilarious thing (in the same day)
