A lot of my guildies think theres going to be a roll back since the number of zombie rings has gone out of control and its basically the 2H 50% pink scroll expoit all over again. Who else thinks there will be a rollback? Just in case i moved all my money and good items into storage. Am I stupid for preparing for a rollback? EDIT: So its not an exploit. Say you farm 1000 tokens in an hour. You trade them in for 12 rings. Sell them for 4mil ea. Thats 48mil profit an hour. Thats without 2x. With 2x drop youre looking at almost 100mil an hour. Yup thats how much I use to make an hour before the event. Sounds NORMAL. EDIT 2: Dear Basil I am sorry I made you so mad. I just repeated what my guildies were talking about and I get flamed for it. Goodbye.

its not an exploit -_- last year everyone complained that it caused ks wars and high levels would just camp out at bosses and it was too hard blah blah. so this year they changed it and made it a common drop so everyone can participate in it. quit complaining that about eveyrone getting too many rings blah blah -_-

[quote] KrewBoy : You have a good point but why such a change in the drop rate of tokens from last year. Im still saying 10-15 rings an hour does not sound normal. [/quote] Because last year, the event was complete fail. You could only get coins from mini-bosses, and 4th jobbers with ultimates took all the maps and ksed each other into oblivion. This years event was made to be for everyone, after last years debacle, to use a term mrb himself used concerning the situation. AND if you really want to get technical, the pink scroll thing wasn't an exploit either. Nexon knew people would make more than one character and claim more than one scroll, and they didn't care. It's not against the toss to recreate your character as many times as you like. You got a pink scroll every time you did so. There's nothing against the ToS concerning remaking a character over and over, no more than there's a section on rings being to easy to obtain. No such thing. Those are not exploits. Exploiting a glitch is like what happened with OPQ a long time ago, or the abuse of the donation NPC. Both things they banned for and had server checks to fix. They didn't and won't have a server check to fix the things you've mentioned because they are intended.

The way you're defining exploit is puzzling. The current rate at which the rings are selling may be 4mil, but that is likely to change as factors of supply and demand would not keep the prices so constant. I think we all know the amount of rings being flooded into the market. Shall we just sit back and watch these rings be worthless in the upcoming week?

*rollseyes* The value of these rings are going to plummet. They really won't rise until 3-6months after this event is over.

I'd say the same thing about the "exploit" of there being so many people "exploiting" other "exploiter's" "exploits" and continuing this "exploiting" "exploit" chain. Yea, you get what i mean *exploit*.

[quote] KrewBoy : Defenition - "to use selfishly for one's own ends" - straight from the dictionary Is this not what people are doing? [/quote] lmao. that's not what exploiting a glitch is though. exploiting a glitch in a game refers to breaking the game in a way that violates the ToS, such as pulling your cord out of your modem to glitch a pq, or subtracting money from the donation to "steal" the mesos and make them out of thin air. You have to actually be exploiting a glitch, not just being selfish. As far as that definition* is concerned, then, by your own definition, you're angry because you won't be able to "exploit" other players later on. You want the rings to not be as common so that YOU PERSONALLY can make more $ off each ring. You're worried about making money "to use selfishly for one's own ends" and can see that these rings will be worth nothing. That's really a jerk way to be about it, btw. It's an event. Why care about the value of the rings? Who cares? The whole thing is made so that everyone gets something as a treat. Not so some 4th jobber can either ks the hell out of other people or farm all the coins and keep the prices high so they can make a profit in the FM. It's an event to give people a prize and have fun. That's it. The rings are for everyone. Deal with it.
