Yes. Keeping the price the same and not doing anything before it's too late would keep the cycle the same. By raising the price of the "END GAME ITEM" you are getting ahead of inflation.

 

yeah he incentivized it by doubling all the magic hours bought

 

I got what I got because I could literally "buy" it via real money. I gambled to get what I have. I've done that for the 8 or so years I've been on the server. That will always be a thing.

 

This. +1 - It's ridiculous that this is constantly happening and then a reset is bought in under the guise of other reasons. The cycle is occurring again and its being allowed to happen, time after time.

 

100% this. It’s no secret that magic tools were the main cause for an economy reset the last time. When the new economy came out this past summer, the way we had magic tools was pretty good all things considered (24hrs every 15 days). Purchasable magic hours I got used to (hated at first), but it seems this is abused now. Magic kits I still don’t agree with, but I digress.

The issue I see is the use of magic tools for good money. We should still allow magic tools, but we should limit them more and really not have purchasable ways to get more magic time, especially when those with a ton of irl money can use and abuse it (this kind of goes back to the root of the problem we had that resulted in an economy reset). Making things more expensive isn’t going to really help if it isn’t going to change those with a lot of money from purchasing them, it will bar those others from doing stuff.

30mil is a lot of money that a lot of players really cannot even achieve, even with magic hours. 60mil bars even more people and especially makes people not want to get the sword since all the tools that they want are significantly cheaper.

 

+1 60m is rough
As i doubt magic hours will be removed from the shop. Putting a cap on the total hours that can be purchased in a month maybe? To help limit damage in the future

 

+1, bring the price back down. I believe the issue is the Incentives to purchase magic hours, something that was already controversial. When the reset happened I remember there being an announcement about no longer having huge discounts codes. Now we have a 50% off discount code, a raffle at the end of the month to win a mythic sword for every $100 spent, and to top it off, a large amount of the magic hours Koko bought were during additional promotions to double the hours bought. Just let the economy live a natural life instead of occasionally injecting it with things that cause instability.

 

+1 As someone who has just gotten a mythic, I think a 100% price increase is a bit extreme. Honestly it comes off as punishing the server for one player's actions. It seems really unfair to those who were close to being able to buy a mythic to have a sudden and drastic change in price. At the very least, if the price must be increased, I believe a fair warning is in order. Give players who are close a good two weeks or so to finish the grind before the change takes place.
