I actually am surprised by the market change. I mean, it makes sense due to the fact whales are pretty much done whaling, but that RMT hasn't managed to keep it about the same, if not even higher, is very interesting. Maybe Amazon is actually actively banning (most) bots. I'm kinda sad I didn't buy some gold from the market when it was 800+. I totally view the time saved leveling to be worth a few dollars in gold lol. I get it's potentially a good thing that gold is greater in value (i.e. less gold = more value), but it does make me a little sad in terms of how the market board prices are still stupid high and that it's now more expensive with real world money to pay for the knowledge boosts.
This is goodideagaming, right?
90% Bots playing Lost Ark, 10% across ALL servers playing. BOT spam is way outta control. Doubt anyone will come back even with the gold cost drop.
material does matter how many, the T3 horning successful rate is so low
I think a major point you've missed that's led to the price drop in the last few days is the 5x aura of resonance potion from the login reward. This essentially more than tripled the supply of honing mats into the market.
is it me or does it feel super hard to make gold as F2P now since everything is tanking? I kinda feel like I gotta toss $100 or so to get a decent amount of gold again to work with.
Could be just your server, mine crystals are at 615 and 622 for blue crystals
i am a little worried gold is a honing material too i dont like the gold making is going down
How many hours do you play to upkeep 6, tier 2 alts, I cant even keep with 3
Oh lol, so basic economics :p
It's one of the reasons I sold all the mats that weren't bound, eventually the bubble would burst for the people rushing to t3.
How do get all your alts to T2? you cant knowledge transfer every alt since there are requirements. Do you do story mode again on all those alts?
Someone put 280k crystals for sale. There is no market crash its simple supply and demand.
did you use knowledge traanfer for your alts? wondering if i should for mine past the first one
Why the fuck am I more interested in this than the actual real life market fluctuations smh
Has there been any talk of making bound mats roster tradable?
Been taking a DCA approach to converting my gold to BC. The lower the price of BC goes, the heavier I DCA in that day. Working out quite well.
They banned a lot of bots and gold gained value, that's it
Great honor leapstones cost 200g on eu
I'm quitting Lost Ark cause it's very obvious the game has major flaws, bot issues and P2W aspects that should not be in a well-designed game. Players said no thank you to Diablo3 when it was balanced around real-money auction house. It's time to do the same again.
Bought all mine at 800-850 (close to 15k), one day later i saw them 520… I'm pretty mad
Its not only materials everything else down for example engraving legendary books nearly half price
Great analyse, thanks for your tips and content 🙂
Buy crystals gold will always inflate more than crystals.
whales and bots were controlling the market prices mostly
it's just bots, nothing else
lots of people quit trying to rush to argos and just slow rolling it and not wasting gold on mats anymore
dude dont be so afraid to talk about what really is affecting the market you jump into the new stuff were getting before talkinga bout it. its the whales and bots were controlling market prices becasue they wanted high prices to make high profitrs after spending lots of money to get to t3 quickly. stop being so afraid to say it
Games kinda dying. That is why the crash happened. A lot of mid tier players are jumping ship. I will explain how my friends feel and why they stopped playing.
The P2W whales and RMT players are so far ahead that they have no hope of catching up.
People that got lucky or did the above behavior now have a massive gold advantage and by extension access to blue crystals. Someone that does not have multiple alts in T3 will be able to access them. The price of everything in the low tier has crashed.
SO basically the game was too P2W. They basically said, I may not need to drive a Ferrari, but I don't go to Ferrari owner meetups to remind myself I don't have one.
Great video man
This is market manipulation by the bots haha, ban waves are not effective we need real time gms or they wont get another cent from me
I till dont understand the Exchange Market…
Like how it works and how iI buy or sell stuff, maybe im dumb, but its a very confusing system..
Your takes on a few of these things are wrong.
The majority of the playerbase didn't decide anytime recently that they wouldn't pay high prices for T3 mats, they've mostly been holding waiting for hope that the streamers they listened to that said honing rate increases were coming immediately would be correct and they weren't. Whales and big pushers already have finished Argos P3 and have no reason to buy anymore. These people were the principle reason for high prices as they were the majority of the buying pressure. With all that buying pressure gone, prices inevitably fall like a knife until they find a level that more people are willing to buy at than are willing to sell at; buying overtakes selling and the price starts going up again.
The second things you got wrong is the bot problem. Bots don't cause inflation; that's just content release waves. Bots ALWAYS cause deflation. Bots operate on the principle of superior efficiency and always aim to outnumber and outfarm players massively. This massive influx of mats and items always results in massive price decreases that happen rapidly. No natural phenomenon is the majority cause for what we're seeing in the LOA markets right now.
The one part you did get right about bots is that bans happen in waves. What you got wrong immediately after that, however, is that prices are going down because bots are gone. Nope. Bots are coming back stronger than ever and its why prices are going down sharply again when they were stable just a few days ago. Stable prices are what happens when bots have just disappeared in a wave. Price crashes are what happen when they have shored up their numbers again and have nearly full operational capacity. We are clearly at a point where the bots have re-created their army; not freshly at a low off a ban wave.
Its a fact that the bots are re-appearing much faster than ban waves occur.
Great Honor leapstone EU central right now is 220, i am on Kadan..
The reason I want blue crystals is for future skins and for expanding my storage slots. The hoarder in me needs those extra slots haha.
Just curious, are you using a gamepad with the changes that you’ve made to the standard key binds?
I think you overestimate how well informed most of the players are… it's just 100% bots
In the other regions, has the Crystalline Aura gone up in price over time or has it remained the same? For example, 30 days of Crystalline Aura is 420 Blue Crystals in NA/EU. Is it anticipated to remain at 420 Blue Crystals forever?
do raids
Does this mean buying gold with white crystals is also a waste of money at the moment?
Glad I just bought 12k blue crystals over the past week or so. It was a great investment they said, maybe in 6 months I can get my gold back, thanks for the advice "experts". Bots and whales have just about killed this game for me.
Bot’s banned
And whales finally understand how to free to play
Now its a good time to exchange gold for aura crystalline 🙂
Now everyday I have to stress out about my real life stocks and my lost ark stocks.
Dollar Cost Average is the key
the market crashed because of stupid dipshits like you
