Ya, I really prefer the cash shop being vendable as there are alot of players in the game that just don't have the money to buy everything they may want. My freind relies on that exclusively to get the Kafra shop items.

If it became un-vendable, it really would make the game "Pay to win".

Oh jezz not more of these rants.... I have proven this in other threads besides all the proof that the cash shop does not equal buying zeny it also not the most effective method of gaining funds... Yeah you can make a good 50-100 mil but the competition is so high and the hundred or 2 mil you get really won't get you any high end gears... I have made so much more hunting rare items rather then selling cash shop items.. I would say of a new player needing an immune or something sure go for it but if you want a deviant or any high end gear your going to spend so much rl money just to get the item. It is stupid your better off doing it through the game. But hey anyone who wants to more power to u cause your just making Ro money which will improve my game play.

i have a solution to the bot problem but it required some effort from GM side..........
i think bots disconnect when they see a GM thats y GM's use the sleeping skill...........
all the GM's have to do is go to popular maps for bots like izlude phen botting map, ant hell vitata, etc n im sure some bots will disconnect.......
now the solution is to make this thing work without GM's having to do it manually.........
basically like a "bot" GM that goes around popular botting maps n forces bots to auto DC.............if they end up Dcing too often they may give up botting that n regular cleaning of bots by GMs together will reduce "contribution's" by bots to ragnarok.........
either that or use a game guard/ shield whatever its called.......
also one time 1$ login fee to start playing this game sounds decent......

i have no issues with cash shop n selling WPE n i encourage ppl selling WPE to ppl who cannot compete with USD in thier countries.....or are not working atm whatever i think u guys get the point......

i read the maint thread n saw how so many ppl were QQing about the box not being worth 300kp yet they still bought so many boxes........
i think if u want ragna to be going on forever spend ur real money wisely on this game........

Potatoes.

This is basically a nicer way of saying what I was about to say.

Its not only a legitimate business strategy, it is a beneficial on to both the buyer and seller and hurts the chinese leeches that bot and sell zeny.


Deal with it OP

Totally! I would rather Gravity benefits from it than those leechers.

Isn't all this possible whilst maintaining a better sense of game balance however? I'm sure everyone realizes RO can't live without cash shop, but there are games that are far more profitable than RO because the cash shop doesn't interfere with game mechanics.

Just some food for thought.

Most of these WPE sellers are noobs that saw a +12 Triple Critical Jur and think it's the most overpowered gear of all time. Next, they want to have everything +12 because it just flows better aesthetically.

Noob: B> +12CEB[1], +12ImmuneShield[1], +12NidGarb, +12ValkArmor(+3VIT/+3INT/+3STR), +12CargaMace2xAKCards, +12D.Boots[1], WCP, Observer!!! PM ME!!!

Mr. A: I have em all. 50k WPE for all of em. Meet me in the empty room in Eden. Code first, obviously.

Noob: DONE AND DONE BR0SKI U DA MAN THANKS YOU RLY DID ME A FAVOR THERE! U A BAUS! NOW I CAN GO PWNXZOR THE VALKZ! ^_^

Mr. A: Yep, good luck with that.

5 minutes later..........

Noob: Ehm.......... How come I can't use G.Fist? Do I need to phone in for those funny cutesie flying balls first? Yknow, the cool floating balls around my face?


Noobs buy their gears with WPE, so they don't learn anything at all. I'd rather fight a nubcake Sura with +20 Gears all-around then fight a real pro using a +6 Triple Wolverine Lucky Mace, Hood[1], Sandals[1], Adventurer Suit and two non-slotted brooches.Oh, and with no headgear. It's not Pay2Win. If you notice, the nubs only buy PvM stuff. So they deal 20K more Acid Bomb damage than you. Big whoop. Omg, their Immune Shield is +3 upgrades more than yours! G to the motherfking G. It's over. Now he can take a little less damage from a maximum damage GoH but still die in one-hit. JUST LIKE YOU! Uh oh, I guess you really need to take a little less damage so people would think you're a pro.

Really? Don't even joke.
