Why the hell do you all have so much Loyalty accumulated? You need more gazebos full of rumbling archeum saplings in your life.

Haha. I feel like I'm waiting for a massive loyalty cost item that only hoarders like me can get. Or something very lucrative I can buy en masse.

Not sure what I'm going to do with mine moving forward; just burned through most of the loyalty on 6 of 8 accounts getting rumblings and subsequently TS trees for the car I'm working on. Only thing I can think of is to save them up and each day on the first of the month go ham on explorer's chests and hope for a goblin glider.

Reading that thread you posted tuco is amazing. It's like EVE, reading about wars is almost more fun then fighting in them.

I hate Archeage and love Eve but I'd rather zerg in AA than Eve (although I'd probably just prefer a heavy brick on my penis than do either). The big pewpew fights that make the news in Eve rarely actually address the actual mechanics of the fight. Cram hundreds of people into a system and time dilation ramps up; takes literally 30+ minutes to do a single action. I'd alt-F4 long before I ever sat there long enough to watch my ship acknowledge a single command.

Oh man. It's like the worker's pots all over again. I really hope it's not a dupe and just a guy being very dumb with his credit purchases. Or someone banking on immortal XP tonics becoming much more expensive after the 55 patch and that didn't come true.

The Apex dupe was fixed. The most likely case is that it's the same thing that was done in Alpha. Gold sellers using fraudulent CC's to purchase starter packs(they come with 10-50 immortals), then quickly converting the sellable items to gold before the account gets banned. Kinda wish they could've done it with something more useful, like labor pots.

There's no way someone's gonna spend 6 apex worth of creds and then sell for less than the cost of 1 apex.

As for it being a market speculator? LOL Immortals sell for 8-12g, and they move a good bit (people running Serpentis etc, saves on armor repair even if you're 55) absolutely no reason to sell them for 2.3g-3g.

Yeah this has been around a bit actually; bought over 500 lucky quicksilver tonics at 2g each around a month ago. As long as it's being done on insignificant items like this I say who gives a shit and buy them all up.

Yesterday we ran 3 huge Halcyona pushes. All were successful. We captured video of the last one, which was a huge battle that we emerged victorious under.

The East has been getting wrekt in Halcyona recently (and was also easily destroyed on the halcy after this one where we were busy with other stuff). We even had someone post in the PRX on the forums that the East would never again win consistently:
Browncoat_sl said:
Uh no, West still wins 8/10 times when PRX shows. The other 20% get split from a stalemate and then winning. Don't give people more credit then they deserve. The day will never come that the East wins most Halcy so move on.
So getting three under a row meant a lot to us.

Forgetting the content of the video, do we really need a 10 minute video of random MMO zerg fights where the scene switches every 15 seconds? Needs more editing or longer scenes.

The scenes encompassed all the fights, which were over within the same period of the broadcast because both forces were generally aggressive. Anytime the gankbus force had the advantage they pressed it and wiped us, and anytime we had the advantage we pushed and wiped them.

Editing can always be better, but I generally prefer a guy make a video every couple days with just the fights bunched together than a guy make 3 videos total and give up because the editing process takes so long.

Unnecessary jab: if you want I can record a video of me making awful builds inArcheAge Builder - Arche-Base

That's the typical thinking of people who don't understand the economy. Gold sellers rebuilding their stock is a bad thing. Unless you enjoy 100g labor pots and 800g Apex, etc.

This is the thinking of someone who is largely done needing gold outside of the aforementioned loot pots as I farm Auroria for the only feasible element of gear progression I have left outside of crafting towards Ayanad armor, which I can do without any input from outside players. Given that I made the majority of my gold playing the auction house across my varied accounts, your first comment was good for early morning humor though. Please continue to provide valuable commentary toward this thread given your love of PRX and boundless knowledge of game mechanics; political, economic or otherwise.

You're right. Fuck everybody else if it doesn't affect you. Fuck the game, who cares if everyone quits because they can't afford anything? More land for you.

Yes, I'm sure this miniscule blip in the scheme of things will be the tipping point. If a given action, while obviously not what anyone would want for the game, stands to profit you and you don't take them up on it (while someone else obviously will), you're an idiot.
