Square Enix. Please hire an economic advisor.

But that's ok, because now you can earn more money through quests. Wonderful, so when FCs can -finally- buy a house, the can start earning that money back quickly and ... uh ... store it all on their retainers, I guess.

Stopped there.

You can't develop a decent economy in a theme park.

I mean, look at crafting, it's basically useless for the first 50 level cause the game throws equipment at you for free.

TLDR: I don't think I should have to wait for the server economy to even out.
I'm a special snowflake.
I deserve to have everything the way that I think it should be from day 1.
and if it isn't I'm going to armchair dev all over these forums!
because I know what this game needs more than the people who made it.

Oh I read it. I just think it's silly to get upset when it's been less than a week since it was patched in.

The economy has been in the game since it launched. Yes, this thread probably has a lot to do with people wanting housing, but the economy has been crap long before patch 2.1 hit. The game has multiple currencies, crafting, gathering, and a market board so the devs clearly wanted there to be an economic part of the game. And right now that part of the game is at a standstill.

Well technically we are the customers. Therefore, it's not what the game needs, it's what we need (and maybe even want), so I suppose that does make us all "special snowflakes." If you're happy with the game, them I suppose that's your right. However, a lot of people aren't, and they voice their opinions and concerns on this forum. I'm pretty sure that's what the forums are for (to give the devs feedback, not tongue baths). If everyone benefits from an improvement, the devs or maybe even you, I really don't see the problem.

yep if they're gonna make economy based on players then they should higher someone who knows what they're doing. They should learn something from eve online if they're gonna copy it

[indira]

the market on my server alot of things went down 50% from last week, i dont see any point farming right now just a waste of time.

major problem is crafting is pointless, you buy all your gear from npc's. mmo crafting should be the sole provider of gear without it there will be a garbage economy. 1.0 you had crafting only for gear and it had a strong economy. now with ARR its the opposite.
