Why Is It That Quests Give A Drastically Smaller Amount Of Emeralds Now?

I've noticed in several quests that I get a lot less emeralds. For example I just completed Purple & Blue. The Wiki shows it as giving around 2.3 LE, yet I only recieved 1/2 of an LE. https://i.sli.mg/VhEcVi.png Is this just because of the quests give more xp thing?

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dunno

 

The wiki hasn't been updated with the new emerald rewards, but yeah we nerfed the emeralds quests give. LE's value is like 10x lower than it was pre-gavel so this is part of stopping the rapid inflation from getting worse. Considering the amount of quests though the nerfs aren't too big of a deal and you'll still get like an LE from doing like two quests at the high levels.

 

Doesn't that just make the gap between rich and poor players even bigger? Wouldn't adding a black-hole where alot of $$$ can go to be a better solution?

 

There's a lot of those already now, such as re-identification which gets pricey very quickly.

 

Really don't think that lowering the emerald reward was necessary it only makes emeralds harder to get stubborn players won't change their price. Also was re iding not enough to lower the prices of most items already?

 

Yeah, now we've got the people with stacks on stacks and the people that will be lucky to get a stack.
