I just stated this in another thread, but i guess I should say it here too. XD
All of those formulas have been available in Alchemist's Case all this time.
They aren't exclusive to Bid Blast at all.
Not Everyone can afford to create or buy an Alchemist Case, Pepper. ">.>
May I ask what the exact percentage for both the Backwings Formulas, AND Risen Quest Inizio is? Because I am incredibly curious about this, and it is quite news to me since Alchemy is broken, flawed, and outright for the filthy rich who make up about 1% of the Gaian population. Users have been refusing to sell their items, support the site, and have even quit thanks to Alchemy. You all are just sitting by and watching your Market become utterly destroyed!
Your Item Quantities are outright ridiculous and Components are not being brought into the Market fast enough to meet the demand. Everyone, not a select few, wants a chance at Alchemy. Levels 1-3 shouldn't be impossible, and most of the formulas should be craftable, not sitting around and eating dust because there isn't enough quantity of something to craft it.
I don't see why you cannot just re-grant items that were already made so you can fix the entire system. Because seriously, I've reached the road-block that is level 3, and I am one of those people who has very limited time online, time that is soon to become obsolete once more.
Pepper, it could be years after tonight before I am able to be online again. I'm not a super-old user, but my one wish for when I can finally return again is that Alchemy be fixed so that everyone, not just vendors, exchangers, and a lucky few can make it to level 10.
I've never had a dev visit my threads, except for Pan. Pan has always answered some of my concerns or questions. I once quoted you on concerns about Alchemy in the Alchemy Feedback thread still in the SF, and I was ignored. I do not enjoy feeling ignored, and neither does the masses of Gaian's users. No, I am not a paying customer, but I am a loyal user who, even long after becoming fed up with this site, still visit on a daily basis.
I am outright begging, not just you, but all of the Devs and Admins, Moderators, and Artists alike. I am begging the team who has created Alchemy to
please listen to the users and give them a reason to stop an uproar that is still ongoing - even if it has quieted down some! The day it came out, the SF was literally flooded with Topics that hated on Alchemy, and I still see them from time to time! Please, please, PLEASE! Make formulas and components more available, consider your users for once and give them a reason to have fun with this feature - not tedious pain in attempting to pass the lowest levels! Alchemy is destroying the Market, and I hate many of the quantities required in formulas, because they are ridiculous!
Philospher's Cache requires 500 of every flower, trash, or bug. It is a level one formula, not a level 5 or 6 formula. I would understand if we got to choose our component or formula, but it shouldn't require so much effort unless the Cache gives out multiples - 5 - 10 components or formulas, even if it is all the same - per Cache. But, it gives out 1 per. It is unfair to have to collect 500 of those game items, spend weeks on it, just to receive one component or formula. It should be reduced to 100 per, and GGB should be reduced to 50 per, unless you plan on changing the quantity given, or allow the component/formula to be individually chosen.
Please, it has been months and nothing has happened...
