Flight Master Costs - Request

[Dresden]

For the purposes of minimising relative cost and increasing region travel i am making a request.

Given that RvR kill-quest/keep-quest money rewards (in total) were (not very long since) reduced to less than half (in total) i am asking if it can be considered and then actually done that flight master costs ALSO be reduced to a rough equivalent ie between 2/5's and 3/5's of their current value.


T1: 50 brass - no reduction.

T2: 5 silver reduced to 2-3 silver.

T3: 25 silver reduced to 10-15 silver.

T4: 50 silver reduced to 20-30 silver. (Many ppl said 50 silver on T4 live, i asked around)


I hope that this will eliminate ALL of the confusion and acrimony concerning this issue.

I will not be responding to any replies on this topic, i have no desire to debate this issue.

It's designed to be a gold sink, and the prices to fly are exactly the same as live.

Kill quests can also be done in any zone, compare to live, where you had to be in each quests corresponding zone. This is balancing it out to be a similar level of income.

Your response appears to be radically out of context to the nature and content of my topic.

It's unfortunate that the first response to my topic has produced such a result and that it was severe enough to make me want to respond to it despite my clearly stated claim that i would not do so.

I will now withdraw from this particular debate permanently.

We need more gold sinks, not fewer.

This. The prices for some items is just plain ridiculous, and yet tons of people have the funds to just hand-wave the cost. I know people that where farming 100-150 gold a day on the old kill quest rewards. I imagine that there is a LOT of gold floating around this game.

If you are getting short of gold, farm a bit. Destro shouldn't have any gold issues. In a day of helping guildies I had an alt on dessie at 28 with 80 gold. Arena is easy farming. Order is a little tougher, but we still have plenty of gold farming spots.

Or, alternatively, sit in the Emp WC and queue SCs. You can turn in 2 kill quests, plus your 50kill quest and gather gold as you SC, no gold expenditure required.

Also, OP saying that his "solution" to a problem not expressed, will remove all confusion, but that they wont respond because they don't want to argue seems strange. You want to change a fundamental part of the game(gold sink for traveling) but you don't want to provide an argument for why? I'm confused.

This thread was locked while I was away, which is what it is. I will say the following on the topic:

When T4 launches soon, we will have restricted the kill quests to certain areas, as they were on live. Because the kill quests will be restricted, we have increased their rewards again. Overall, low level players should find it easier again to make more money. I do agree that we need gold sinks, but I find flight costs to be something akin to a regressive tax.

Additionally, it's worth noting that flight costs to T3 and T4 will be 20s and 40s respectively, not 25s/50s. Small change, but combined with increased kill quest rewards, it should help address OPs concerns.

Shortly after T4 launches, we will be implementing repeatable quests for completing scenarios. This will allow some gold and additional XP gain for each scenario played. These will require some much-needed improvements to our questing system, and will not be ready with the T4 release.
