I don't think insulting the devs is cool. They do this for nothing. Show some gratitude.

I’m not trying to be insulting. I’m trying to show the bias that has been put into place on purpose here. Seeing as how there are many testimonies alleging significantly higher drop rates along with proof drop rates became nerfed much later on for items (i.e manastone) in actual patch notes recovered. what was done here was purposeful and unrealistic and is now causing people potential health hazards.

We can decry the problem over and over all we want but until something is done to at least show some basic concern towards the community’s realistic understanding (the drop rates were significantly higher in the past and list systems are being severely abused by account sharing) vs reality (people might actually die trying to solo camp these items) is a major thing that should be addressed PERIOD.

Literally who in the community would care if manastone Value held at 800k plat anymore if someone died in the process of keeping its price tag artificially high in a fantasy game?

The smarter players figured out long ago that Green was intentionally flawed out of the gate with selectively keeping things that were classic if it was against players and changing the things that would have been a positive. Fish rolls, fletching, necro / enchanter pet weapon speeds, etc. That's on top of the crap ambient lighting wrecking the game for raiding or just general visual appearance.

Accept what the game is or walk. Feedback isn't being accepted by the staff.

No server community/developer can fix that, but people trying to get easier access to rare pixels through forumquesting isn't going to work either.

The game is meant to be hard and is meant to exclude the majority of the player base. Either do what it takes or sit down and find another way.

If you can't get a manastone today, can you save plat for a sold manastone in 6 months time? Or a year? One thing is for sure, the camp won't dry out so there'll be the maximum possible of manastones from green/teal between now and D-Day when they no longer drop.

Sorry swish. I must have misunderstood that 15 ppl insta “killing” some pixles popping as mega hard mode which made me stop playing as opposed to realistic health concerns one might face from long term list Position lock...

You are perfectly correct here to assume that people should put in more time and effort on pixels while losing their minds to /list camps vs having fun with the community and their friends.

I’m sorry for being sour but your response is exactly the type of personality and reason people put their health onto the sidelines in risk for pixels. You are actively encouraging terrible behavior and practices while simultaneously stating you want to keep an artificial inflated value behind the over glorified pixels.

( Also I’m Going to go out on a hunch here but it’s likely you already have a manastone/Rubicite or some other era item and have imaginary plat to lose if these item(s) becomes more common within the community). Sounds an awful lot like Greed to me, which coincidentally coincides with a deadly sin.

Post the patch notes in the bug section. There's devs who respond there daily

None of these "not classic" mega threads in the green/teal section have been going anywhere. It doesn't matter how many bold words you use or how long your essay is. A few supporting links and a sentence or two are all you need to see changes happen

Default Reports have been posted long ago.

Reports about the drop rates on /list items were already curated long ago.

Also I’ve already walked away from the game after visiting the /list camps for 3 days and hearing from ppl on #1/2 slots attesting to 10+ sometimes 19+ hr camps for the alleged 1st or 2nd most common drop rates of the 4 /list items.

I’m literally only posting because of a legitimate concern over other human beings health risks here.

Might you be asking for me to apologize for that next too?
