I tend to make on average ~ 100k a day with DC alone.
I might investigate this on a mule and see exactly how much one can make in a 7 day period (one week) with purely DC.
You should also note that BG now offers 500k a day - while it's hardly anything compared to what it used to be, there's that, if one has the patience and ability to play.
zOMG is being revamped and worked on (supposedly), but I'm hoping that the cap goes up for that as well. Assuming it's capped at 500k a day as well - that's still 1mil a day.
That's quite a lot compared to the "old days" when I first started.
Or maybe back then i just sucked at questing and saving gold. lol
I remember it used to take a week to make 1mil for me personally.
(keep in mind, I was in high school and never purchased gc either).
But is that only on one account? Because I certainly don't make 100k on average from the DC a day with one account. Of course, it's a CHANCE- which is part of the reason why inflating the standard gold shop's prices so severely is problematic.
What's this BG you're talking about? If you mean Booty Grab, the games I've played of it haven't had any kind of modified grant and still pay out 2k. So it'd have to of been a recent change that I'm not aware of. But again, we're talking about newbies being one of the primary users of gold shops. Most of them don't fully understand the site, and they're not going to know what BG is let alone that you can find threads full of people's tanks to play the game on. Some people might not even be able to run it properly.
No one has any idea what's happening with zOMG and it's not going down until the 30th, and they even said that the maintenance could take weeks+.
And yes, I know what it was like 'back in the day'. This account is '06 and my original was 04/05. There's no sense comparing the current gains, though, when the original pales in comparison. MP items are ranging from 200mil-80bil+, and those kinds of numbers weren't even possible/only reserved for the original release items like the Nitemare Scarf and similar.
Top that off with kicking things in towns being useless due to low payout, posting giving low pay out, game items being not too valuable/time consuming to collect/iffy to collect due to game glitches like unsaveable buckets in fishing/newbies won't have any idea how these systems can be turned into any kind of profit.
I'm not against raising the gold shops prices- but we're talking massive inflation, before any of the other systems have been beefed up to compensate, on top of the fact that we already have a gold sink shop that's not receiving updates (Dernier Cri).
imo they're punishing fresh faces more than they're doing any good to balance the economy with the way they're doing things and prioritizing things, which is
really not good when people are leaving in high numbers out of frustration.
