I request that GM team considers account binding magic stones.
Without account binding they will not do their job in controlling bot traffic, and inhibit bot farmers ability to make 2nd class bots. Players already have suitable alternatives.

-WP survey and Videos
-WP gifting.

Please reconsider the current server settings for this item.

Thank you

Edit: Also make a recycler for them as well since some people are swamped with them.

I agree with this 100%.

I was thinking the same what stops a bot from buying one from a vend.

edit.
Do the videos work in other places besides the US?

Remove Magic Stone or make them optional for change class.

[Mencret]

totally agree, i dont want botter can bought magical stone with z

[kfrag]

I got random people calling me after trying to do some of the surveys...
(I would spend 10-20 minutes on each and something would bug out in the end, thus no WP...) ;
Magical Stones should be account bound, but people that can't use real cash to obtain a stone have a really hard time getting WP.

Get a text service that doesn't use your actual phone number. Then you can do the text verification surveys without fear of future bothers.

People still buy and sell WP for zeny.
This is enough to make sure people that want stones can get them.
But Heim made magic stones required for sending mail and renting carts so we'll see how that goes.

Stops a lot of random vends. But I agree. Make the stones account bound. So +1

[kerly]

I for one don't have any surveys available. :T

[TheSquishy]

Sometimes you don't but people can still gift you WP.
Make friends and have them do you a favor.

in the mean time, please bind them stones.

[Tetsamaru]

They need to allow lower WPE gift amounts. 1000 is good and all but if you're just gonna give your friend a Magic stone. At least let us give them 100 WPE points. Some people seem to really have bad luck with the surveys for whatever reason.

[unpageable]

Making the stones account bound would be great, but that still doesn't stop bots from churning out low tier stuff like Drops card and Hydra cards.

haha, magic stones have nothing to do with bot traffic control or anything else, are you that blind? magic stones are just a new source of income. 1$ per char, how much do you think it makes? And the oportunity to buy it with game currency make it available for people who don't usualy pay for a game. There is no burden for players because the ones who buy stones for selling are already kafra shop (ab)users and would have used another item to make zenys from $.

I should make a captain obvious account.

What are you even talking about? I merely ask they be made to do what GMs intended more effectively by account binding them. Oh noes they can make money. They are a business after all,
what are you 10? They need to make money and reduce bot numbers to make more players want to give them more money. Even people that are so called "KP abusers" need a reason to want to continue playing and spending their money on this game. They don't need a buncha bot farmers under cutting the market.

@Tetsamaru
I dunno if it is feasible for a $1 gift. It depends on how warpportal is charged per transaction or if they are using an in-house service. But lower donation options would be nice. I have noticed that stones are putting a dent in the botted goods market but I want to to go further.

GMs don't give a flying about bots, magic stone aren't meant to stop bots invasion. I'm 10 and I got that. You mad?
