I've been playing since 25th and have 4 lvl 60's why did I spend such an absurd amount of money? wish I could get it back. That 2mil astral diamond isn't worth much now.
I am having a hard time getting my head around why your 2 mill AC is not worth much now. I understand that in real life a way to cripple an economy is to make everyone rich. The Nazi's had a plan to do this with counterfeit US dollars and Sterling (but were scuppered) during WW2.
However in the case of NW the vast majority of the player population did not exploit and therefore are not rich with AC.
Also; and this is how I understand it (so if anyone wants to explain where I may be going wrong then go for it) with the above example, the price of goods and commodities increases to allow for the fact that everyone is rich. However, Zen has not gone up. The price of Zen items has not increased. So your 1 euro will still buy you the same amount of Zen as it would have at the start of the beta and the price of items on the Zen market remain the same.
The fact that the zen-AC market has crashed will be healed with time and exploiters accounts banned so save your AC while you play and convert to Zen in a few weeks.
In terms of the AH, so an exploiter has loadsa purples, well in a few months so will everyone else, so this will also balance out. If the market is flooded with loadsa purples, and their cost is therefore driven down then your 2 mill will be worth more. conversely if someone wants to corner the purple market and offer the items at to high a price then they will be easier to undercut when the rest of the player base get said purple items and the exploiter will not sell anything.
I agree it is not good, however is the game truly broken? Is it unplayable? Can you not level your character and seek challenges from the dungeons and PvP?
I am not looking to troll here. Just looking to put my understanding across and seek some sort of clarity to the situation.
