All hail the collapse of the economy!

Woot for e-friendships! 

[Narure]

My tria slashed in half  i was loaded anyway due to the mercinary work... but then i have to wonder where they got all that money from so quickly.

Woot 200^th post

*edit*

ahh i see, they have put a 175000 cap on

[drah]

They seem to have re-capped tria at 150k today. (I'm guessing they found someone exploiting again!?)

So I'd advise anyone trying to rebuild up their tria... not to bother for now, at least until we're told it's been resolved... just spend it on skills as soon as you make it!

... just spend it on skills as soon as you make it!

Why Shang's perpetually broke.

that seems to be the one thing devs want to overlook. especially the ones that spent the cheated money on skills before the cap.

[LARAGORN]

150K isnt a lot of Tria for some, but for me, it is loads. I have never even come close to that   I think I had 70K once, but that disappeared very fast training.
Guilds are going to have to rethink their treasury department I think. I guess they will find out how many members they can trust

[Jackdaw]

I know some people and guilds who were building up large amounts of tria by honest means and it a harder blow to them as they may have had rp ideas in mind for that tria rather than personal use.

I can't figure out all this talk about people having been able to super power level unless the bug allowed you to duplicate progression points and allowed you to shortcut the practice time. If they got a few extra levels it is not a big deal. If everyone now owns a pair of sw ss it just means that the playing field has been leveled until they do a readjustment of the weapons.

From one perspective it is an interesting twist to the game. How will all those who were rping wealthy merchants going to handle having worthless stock? Maybe someone can establish a bankruptcy court.

[Coneitic]

you cant duplicate pp

but pp is the easy part

getting the trias to spend them, thats how people got away with it

but this is the devs version of fixing Yliakum.... Enjoy

We didn't overlook that. It is just that besides a full wipe (which is not that nice) there is not much we can do about that. Removing excess skills is a lot more annoying to people then removing excess trias.

I have to give credit to the devs and the GMs. I think they handled this situation as well as they could have. They fixed the bug within 24 hours of Vigilante's "charity spree," and I think the wipe was well thought out. Two of each item can be stacked, so that means we all have at least our two best weapons. The money wipe I think was fair. 150k is quite reasonable.

Thank you, devs and GMs!

they handled it within 24 hours of the economy crash.

they also handled it 2 months after it was reported.

so know we all know what to do to get a major bug fixed =)

and your right jorrit

but i hope this action here makes a good impression on having a soon to be wipe.

There's a lot of middle ground between posting a bugtracker and screwing over a several-years-old economy.

Flood the forums, spam the GMs, badger the devs, just don't ruin the game for everyone else. I know there'll be a lot of people who are going to leave over this... all for what?

[Eid]

Just to let you know, the economy was failing long before this act, and there was a tria wipe less than a year ago due to a Platinum bug
so it was not several year old economy

[Roahn]

There's a lot of middle ground between posting a bugtracker and screwing over a several-years-old economy.

The economy was screwed many weeks ago, after dozens of people discovered the bug. I lost count of how many people suddenly went from rags to riches overnight, yet the bug wasn't fixed until after Vigilante did his stunt.

Flood the forums, and your posts will be deleted and the threads locked. Spam the GMs and you'll get kicked. Badger the devs, and you'll be told they're too busy, and besides, you're just a tester in a pre-alpha game. I honestly think the game is much better now, after the mini-wipe, and after the devs were forced to fix the duplication bug.

That may be true, but there are still better ways to handle it. If anything, Eid could've saved himself from getting banned.

Maybe, maybe not. Whether or not the topics are locked, you'll still get noticed - get other players panicking, pestering devs, etc.
I know I for one would've joined a campaign to resolve this had the issue been known to me, and not posted in an obscure part of the forum by someone who barely spoke english.
And it's not like you're spamming porn or viagra adverts either - it was an important issue that nobody really knew about.

And, of course, there was always the chance that the damage wasn't as bad as you thought, and that the economy could've been salvaged...
