Was thinking this today.I feel my gold is worthless without being able to buy diamonds.
Brings back memories when 'ThePit' has said that he runs game without instructions/guides.
FYI - He said that not because he chooses to run the game without instructions, but because it's been stated multiple times that Frogster did not leave much of ANY documentation about this game's backend for Gameforge when Frogster got taken over. Frogster was basically thrown to the curb, and like a 2 year old, they said "well, you'll take this away, then we won't tell you what you're doing har har jokes on you nah nah nah nah". So if anything, I'd blame 90% of Gameforge's issues on the lack of documentation and therefore Frogster.
And getting information from Runewaker? Good luck with that. It's like getting bricks from an ATM machine, just doesn't work.
@ Rustyx - how is different gold sellers ability to buy anything from AH they like? I remember reading somewhere on net that their automated client could make X millions per hour and their client was stripped client (almost nothing except needed stuff). That is main reason GF wanted to ensure everyone has all files untouched - because with stripped client - one hacker on one machine could easily run 30-40 clients at the same time?! I am sure they had more then once computer... so just try to imagine what kind of gold they had... and as I said - how different is if they can get all best gear from AH while in process creating huge surplus of gold? Without good gold sink - economy can't get better... and gear gets too expensive, especially to fair players.
I am not sure what this is in reply to, but this seems to have nothing to do with diamonds on AH.
Gold spammers surely won't have a problem with that.
Whatever methods they have for generating gold doesn't affect economy till gold enters into circulation; and since they are not players, they have no use for items on AH. Yes, they can destroy the economy and drive people away; but there is no profit in it. Any parasite that overwhelms host will find itself without means of support.
Cike proposal is interesting, but ultimately runs into same issue. Rubies come from diamond use. Ability to obtain diamonds --> Ability to obtain rubies --> ability to obtain megas. Unless it is token-only shop.
