SPOILER The Secret Feature And New Bombs

That's completed and it's all in the Beta

 

Does "Crafting Resource requirements are halved" means that the material cost of crafting recipes are getting reduced? Because thats the only thing I would feel somewhat uncomfortable about, as it could lead to a situation where players are hoarding materials until a bomb drops or, if not, feel as if they wasted resources. Similiar to the time when xp bombs affected quest xp.
//edit: just realized that the double profession xp bombs are also problematic this way, as you lose profession xp each time you craft something without a bomb active

 

Yes, the bomb reduces the amount of materials needed in a recipe by 50%. I don't really get your second point though. Eg when I use a dungeon key I don't feel like I should have waited for a bomb, and that I wasted a key. It might not be the best example but it's the only one I can think of rn

 

You are a man of culture I see

 

A dungeon key is a dungeon entry, a dungeon bomb is another dungeon entry (or more, if you are fast enough). They don't become obsolete because of each other, because if you use the dungeon key and enter the dungeon with a bomb afterwards, you can complete it two times.
You don't lose the entry the key provides just because you get a second one by the bomb.
With the profession bomb its different: With 100 Refined Birch Paper you can craft 50 lvl 10 helmets with the bomb active, but only 25 without it. Each time you craft something without the bomb you are essentially losing half of your materials.

 

Yeah but I don't think that they will be common enough for this to be a real problem, or even a worry.

 

what about VIP+?

 

But that is exactly the problem, because they are probably not very common people will begin hoarding materials until someone finally drops a bomb. Which means that most of the time cafting would be a losing business. Especially crafting profession leveling could completely depend on bombs, as the profession speed bomb + profession xp bomb essentially lead to an up to four times larger profession xp output, which mean that the standard leveling process will be "gathering as much materials as fit in your bank" and "search a server with both bombs active and craft as much as you can".
Although I would agree that the problem is not as big as with xp bombs, as materials seem to be easier to come by.

 

Not sure about your first question, but for the second -
What advantage do you get by being able to sell more stuff at once? Its not too big of and advantage, and it’s pretty easy to live with. If the limit was higher, the market would immediately be completely clogged with random garbage that people will put there just because. This way, the market can never be too filled with items and players can easily find what they want. Although, I think the HERO and VIP amounts should be lowered a bit to maybe 7 and 10 instead of 10 and 15.

That’s just my opinion though.

I think they're the same as VIP

 

it's so some goblin doesn't spam it with junk

 

I'm sure it's for some of the following reasons:
1. Keep marketplace postings limited and prevent spam
2. Further incentivise donator ranks (duh)
3. Ensure that you're posting valuable or useful items that are worth your time (and thus, worth others' time)
4. Keep the marketplace from filling up too much to keep server data usage lower
5. Probably some other reasons the Admins have that I can't come up with

 

banned for leaking

 

I respectfully disagree with that maths!

 

oh look, it's me :D

 

Ok let's mute everyone without a rank because that way we'll get less spam in chat.

 

Your comeback would only be appropriate if non-donors had been completely blocked out of the marketplace, which they aren't. You have a base rate of access that can be expanded upon by purchasing a rank. Unlocking more features costs either your time or your money - that's how the world works.

And by the way, you're not entitled to anything here. The fact that you have access to the marketplace the devs made for us players is a gift, not a God-given right.
