Actually I believe the rigs already provide enough of a gold sink, since there is always one or two really rare items in there that people vie for. They can always add others.
I just read the entire Ask the admin thread, and it seems to me that we're getting twisty politician answers about the whole nerf question. He's obviously saying its a response to dolphin mania, and trying to say that the changes were "minimal". And he'd like us to believe that the problem is "lack of communication". Personally I'd say its "lack of ethics". In addressing the problem, the best he said was "We'll continue to make adjustments to compensate for the adjustment."
I'm losing faith that this will amount to any kind of "compromise or compensation" david =/
Am I missing something? In what way are RIG items a gold sink? You purchase them with cash and you sell them for gold (or keep them).
Nothing bought or sold on MP is a gold sink except for the 2% market tax. A gold sink makes gold disappear from Gaia. Buying on MP just transfers the gold to another user.
I don't get into RIGs so it's possible they do something I am missing. Mostly though I thought they added gold to the system - buy a RIG for cash, open it, hope for a rare you can sell for a lot of gold.
And yes, the ATA answers seemed a bit elusive and perhaps ignoring facts a bit to me as well. I am willing to overlook that if the promised 'adjustments' to undo the 'unintended' effect of nerfing our ROI are fair and equitable. I am less concerned about Lanzer's answer for WHY they did it than I am about Gaia fixing what they did and not doing it like that in the future. Time will tell.
