I dont see the point of these threads. People delt with what they were given and were greatful back in euro.

Its just as hard to make cash for the player next to you on screen,stop all this carebare **** man up like majority have. And deal with what you get.

As lev16 sin mostly solo I think its sort of OK now although I got 68k I think. My problem is carry weight, often I have to leave pots behind and I pickup only light items and usually leave the cave with bag half empty because of the weight... that's for those smart alecks who wonder why so many pots and items are left all over the caves, gold I don't know why pple leave behind, maybe in grps they run about so fast they would be left behind trying to pick up all those little patches of gold?

Only problem with gold I see is mobs should occasionally drop bigger patch of gold, or mass drop. It is very rare to see cats or omas or bones in Oma to mass drop, happened to me so few times, prob could count on fingers of one hand (sin lev16, warr lev10). We don't need 30% accross board drop upping, we need mobs to drop bigger patches of gold once in a while, not those meager three-gold pieces graphics LOL, they look so poor no wonder pple don't bother with them.

And there seems to be too few mobs about outdoor in provinces which then goes hand in hand with too few little bosses like OW - I didn't even see one yet. Mobs generally are too thin in provinces, you can make good gold from spitting spiders but I don't know about any place where they would be significantly more plentiful, like they used to be in SV north in classic mir, as one example. Don't like this mir's SV, snakes are far in between and everything is poor, I challenge anyone to run in a circle and round up 15 or 20 snakes for a kill like you could on euro and usa mir in some places in SV (same for Yetis in WW near WT area of that map). Drops, at least those from the little mobs remind me of korean mir setting that we once had for a short period on euro before it got adjusted back to 'normal'.

Bottom line - drops from mobs seem to be poorer here than they were on euro. And I have only got items with extra +dura occasionally, no other added stat ever, like on copper ring or any other item, would that break the game? I don't think we need 30% upping accross the board but structure of drops could use being tweaked a bit.

I forgot to mention the turnips that the peasants ate. Offal was probably a luxury.
FYI the current government is borrowing more than the previous one.(To fund austerity?) Verifiable if you cba to check and not just spout publicity material.

On topic I already said people complain that they don't make enough gold at the start of every server. Seein as this is low rate then its probably a sign that everything is as it should be.

Aware of that, there stuck in a snowball effect though, nothing else they can do as the person who actually suggests proper austerity measures will instantly be voted out of parliament. They have to make good on all the "promises" the previous government made.
+ their trying to blag the economy's doing well with their "help to buy scheme" which is only going to create a massive property bubble worse than the last one. (as the amount of houses built/bought has a positive effect on a countrys GDP and credit rating)

We have too many promises we cant keep, such as benefits/pensions/useless "public services" , when the public services are one of the main employers in a country, you know there doing something wrong. But none of the party's can change this as they just wouldn't be given the chance by the mainstream as it would have a negative impact on millions of peoples quality of life for the next 10-20 years while it sorted itself out.

So they just borrow more and pretend everything's fine!, and try to blag the world that were doing well by building loads of houses! (which are then bought by rich people who charge extortionate rent, thus driving the cost of living up)

Gold is really fine atm - it really does not need to change. I think alot of the pot drops etc are due to low bag weights which I find atm.

Gold rate is perfect. You gotta work your ass, and that's how I like it. Keep it low.

Still yet to many any edits, awaiting on more opinions.

Leave gold drops as it is, it does not need upping at all, as mentioned before just be nice if it went to bag automatically in grps and evenly divides as there's always some tit hoovering while your busy

I think raising gold drops by 30% is a bad idea. With the gold as it is now makes it more valuable and makes you appreciate the value of shop items, if your short of cash your going to buy a candle rather than a torch, going to buy a DE rather than a TT, going to run to places instead of using the tele stone.

I hunt bug cave and find to be making a profit rather than a loss every hunt, get a good amount of pots drop to keep me going and I seem to find more MP pots than HP pots. Get the odd item here and there to sell might even make a bit off of the TM.

On day 2 I was hunting bug cave and found I was caining pots but go good exp, I ran out of gold and had to chestnut hunt. I then went to MM as I felt it suited my level more and I was breaking even through the drops, couple of levels later a bit better kit I can now handle BC and make a profit from there. Maybe people are hunting areas that are too high for them for better exp and suffering the repurcussions of using so many pots.

Leave gold as it is, people will gain more in time we are only in week one.

People seem to not be able to adjust to Low rate servers.. People are too used to playing basic custom rate servers where gold is not an issue but now a server that has been done properly comes a long they see it as wrong or don't like it.. Better sense of achievement when you earn your first mil.

All this chat about Tories doing good. Don't be so stupid. They are getting rid of all the rights we have as middle class or lower. Ni company that would pay lower class would give them health insurance. All this stuff we have to loose while they and there friends who they then employ is stupidly high paid jobs. They are bread for riches not earned them.

I think increasing gold isn't really going to effect much. It will only allow us to buy pots less carefully. If more gold drops people will increase their selling prices so it is not really much of a change.

golds a fkin joke, few days in and you cant make enuff to hunt. Some ppl have lots fine, let them get ahead but when most cant even make enuff to hunt its bollox, not mir.

Just like to clarify there are numerous people with over a mill , and tonnes of people with over 500k , gold drops from mobs will be increased 30% next reboot, although quests should probably be rewarding more gold than drops to make them more worthwhile.

Theres always ppl with millions whatever the drop rate is, its the rest of us that get fkd over.
i hate quests, i did em to get horse and non since. ppl like quests can do em but dont give em more ffs.

Its simple if you want cash cash hunt like mir 3 people did in ants etc.

if you raise it 2weeks down the line everyone will have millions a then gold becomes worthless. Like every other server

I'm doing fine as an assassin for cash... some caves burn through my pots as I'm getting hit too much but some caves I can go and only take few pots because of all the pot drops I can pick up and use instead of buying.

I do need to buy a new weapon soon though, not sure how much I need to put aside for that... probably going to break the bank and make me skint again

Read the thread the view is mixed some people aren't happy with it and some are.

To say it is not mir because the gold rate is low is laughable. How much gold did people have during the first week on the official servers.

People will start getting drops which they can sell and gain the gold.

There is quests for the majority of caves via the noticeboard in town which give good gold, if you level in bug cave there's a steady quest which you can do as you level and give you 35k a time this covers half my pot costs for the hunt. Try the noticeboard quests they might help you out.

Imo it should stay the same maybe minor adjustments, high exp caves should have low gold drops as making lots of both in one hunt is too easy and allows u to progress too fast. But caves like bug caves and other noob areas I wouldn't mind seeing ocassional mass drop like on euro, always feels good getting one and having these caves as good cash makers ensures they stay in use throughout the game. Used to enjoy euro when u had to alternate between cashing and exp

Agree with whoever posted about the 'mass' drop mobs, in 32 levels i have only had 1 'mass' drop (2 piles of 2k gold and some other bits and bobs). Also wtf have u done to the added item droprate, not 1 added item in many many hours spent hunting lol
