You got mining which will give you anything from 2 to 12 per piece...
If they are going to fix the bug they have to fix the loot problem. For I can imagine a great exodus the minute this bug is fixed.
I can kill clackers, and low level rouges... but I get nothing out of them. I can kill the low level tefs as well and get 16 for each tooth... but what I\'d like to see would be something like this.
Rats = 6 per fur (as is now)
Clackers = 10 per shell piece
Tefs = 10 for each tooth (weak ones first in the coliseum) , 12 for medium, 16 for the hard, and go 4 up on each step...
The other creatures I don\'t know but more creatures should have an item they drop that should be worth an amount per their level of difficulty. Such as the rouges and others... in where starting rouges go for 10 a pop, and the hard ones go for 30.
Ubers would go for 30, starting, etc...
If you are going to fix a bug you need to allow people to buy things easier then... for there are rats, but it takes forever to get enough rats to buy anything worth buying.
Not to mention there aren\'t enough rats to keep everyone happy either.
I really love this post mercat, but if we get more ways to earn more money we need more ways to spend them, so we need more stuff ingame and we need more content creators for them 
Actually spending right now isn\'t the problem it\'s gathering the money for spending... the collecting/trade/sell or buy ratio is a tad bit off. (sort of like the Stock Market)
Right now I have 53 Progression Points. the cost of adding one progression point is roughly 24 to 60 trias (I think). To level up in light armor it will cost me almost 240 trias, and 6 pp to do so.
I run out of money before I run out of Progression Points. To collect enough tria to level once in light armor I need 15 Tefs teeth or 40 rat skins. (don\'t even go there with the eyes just yet)
There is a way out of it, allow for every \"level\" the person rises, they are allowed to spend a set amount of progression points towards their character for free...
Sort of like this:
Level 1 - 7 = 5 progression points
Level 8 - 14 = 15 progression points
Level 15 - 21 = 30 progression points
But in that case a real level system would be possible. What you could also design would be a progression tree, in where spare progression points and \"money\" could be spent on special traits, but only if you have the levels in your character to do so.
Lets take a blacksmith for example, we could create two progression trees like this: I\'m not on the team so I didn\'t finish it
The Weapon Smith has a starting point Woodwork, that would be 5 PP, to get to Whittling Level 1 he will need to put in 10 progression points. To enter a level for Basic Design, and Wood Engraving, another 10 PP to each.
Then you get to go to level 2, Basic weapons Level 1, allows you to create clubs and wooden sword handles, this would get you ready for level 3, which then would allow you to start working on metal...
Now For Basic Weapons Level 1, we would be looking at 15 progression points, as would be Wood Clubs, and Wooden Sword Handles.
Now you ask, ok, fine what about if they want to add levels to a specific trait, they will be able to. Lets say they want a superior Wooden Sword Handle which will be able to be sold at an average of 50$ to get to that point they will have to have at least 10 levels in that skill, which with each progression will cost 5 pp more. So level 1 is 15, by the time you get to level 10, you have put in 375 progression points into the skill, which will make him a master in that trait. A person will not be able to progress past 10 points, at least for now. Since an entire tree will be well over 5,000 pp to fill on one side alone I expect if we do up to 10 smithy levels before they get to a master smithy. So by the time a person is a \"level 100\" character they will either be specialized in one trait, or diverse in many
For items though we would have to work on other things...
And if you are looking for a content designer tell me, I might have someone in mind for you... like I said I am working on my own MMORPG, but I am also a CEO of a fledgling game company. And one of my 3D graphic designers is of need of some work. Unless he gets off his bottom and writes me that proposal I\'ve been asking for the past two months. Trust me it\'s not laziness on his end, he is finishing up school.
In any case hope to hear what people think about that idea
But this would allow the ability for cost to be less of an issue for training, it would also allow more items to be made... and also it would start an economy over there in which people can buy or sell items of various quality, and craftsmanship. And it would also in the long run take care of some of the money issue... by the time this would be implemented I would expect a lot more things to be in the game by then.
And if you say this looks like a Diablo style concept, don\'t fool yourself I had the idea way before they did, the only problem is you can\'t copyright an idea
