Cash shop

There are a few things i've been wondering about the cash shop and its items so with out further delay:

1. why do abl's exist it does the exact same job a bind lifter does its truly just a way to suck a little more money out of people i'd like a GM to tackle this question if possible

2. Why are ther no +12-16 jewels sold in game like the +6 ones, making +7 and higher only available to paying customers is a no no that means yes u are selling power and if they are sold in game at a vendor ... oops

3. why do plussing jewels fail at all, why do they have lv restrictions and why does higher lvl jewels cost more shouldnt it be one flat rate for the +'ing process especially since they all have the same rate of failure

4. why hasnt there been a severe decrease in pet related items, taking away golden egg aavailability means providing a usuable alternative without one its just a punishment for players

5. transmutor charges should be more obtainable in bigger quantities at a reasonable price since tiering a weapon is expensive ( and no one can run a single end game instance with a tier 4 weapon)

these are a few of my concerns about the cash shop

#1 they are different, BL's are used for items that are bind on equip and ABL's are used for items that are bound on pick up.

the point was why? both items have the same base function to unbind gear. why are there two items for this and why does one cost more

Bind on pickup is stronger bind and happens only when you pick up the item originally from the mob. Stronger bind takes stronger and more expensive lifter to remove. Once it is removed, the item becomes bind on equip and you can use regular lifter.

u need advanced ones to unbind gear u obtained from npc shell/memento vendors, once u do that and sell it to someone and they wear it, they will only need normal lifter to unbind it to make it tradable again... its pretty convenient.

ok im not a new player at all i know what the items do, that sed when u go to use a lifter the item sez bound on it, then taaadaaaa its bind on equip, what i saying is why arent items just bound, and have 1 reasonably priced item for the process instead of a pretty much useless one and a very over priced one. also if abl's are gonna cost more why dont they just make the item perma unbound after abl usage and just use regualr bl's to turn bounds to bind on equip? which brings me back to its really just another way to charge more for the same item, an abl and a bl both make a bound item bind on equip

This is why I grind gold and buy hand me down gear. I have spent enough on this nonsense. The answer to every question is MONEY. That is obvious. To us they seem like reasonable questions. They arent going to change the model until people stop spending money lolz. It doesnt take a overly large IQ to figure it out.

Basically, the items the you get from instance runs are more than likely bound on pick up those all require Advanced Bind Lifters. Wings that you can purchase from item shop also require ABLs. However, the bright part is that once a piece of gear is unbound with an ABL, in the future it will forever unbindable with a normal bind lifter.

here is one person who understands the question, maybe i shouldve just sed why dont we have bl's do the job of making all items bind on eq. and doing away with abl's unless u make them perma unbind an item , its just a away of charging more for an item that should do the same thing

Lolz. People. He understands what the 2 items do. He is asking the question, why are their two items that do the same thing? Its like having Walmart selling you a pan, one that cooks only hamburger, and one that only cooks eggs. Why? Cant we use one pan for both?

I would have to agree they need to do something about the pet egg situation. Those with high level pets that had golden eggs available in AH have a very clear advantage over those that dont have a similar option to pay ONLY GOLD FOR PET TALENT POINTS.

The answer to all your questions is simple.

You are a $ sign, nothing more. What ever it takes to make you go from $ to $$$$ they will do. You think something is to high or unfair does not matter. Just give them money or shut it.

That is how most of the world works.

Two words answer each question, money & greed. The greed factor is keeping my money secure in my wallet where even a dwarf won't get at it!!

That is true, but it seems that their vision might be a bit fuzzy. Instead of seeing a $ becoming $$$$, it would appear many are going from $ to zero due to current policy and practice.

Here is my question, how has the new PvP drop system affected pvp server trade, I know they loved never having to use ABLs.

pvp trade was only minorly affected by the drop rules. only thing it changed was now in order to trade u need to drop ur rep below -30 to drop for trade. so at worst u need to buy a declaration of neutrality to bring ur rep back to zero so the minute u exit guild castle where most trading is done u dont get ganked. i know some people do trades at rez points that are away from major population zones as well, but yea, trade not affected much. if i remember right a declaration of neutrality is only like 30 phirius tokens.

Actually it isnt. You use an ABL and unbind it. the next person equips it, they then have to use a regular unbinder. What I am talking about is using the ABL and never having to unbind it again.....
