#3660, "RE: Am I the only one?"
|
Are you the only one? Nope, but you certainly fall under 'those who even have less problems'. I don't know how fast you collect coins, but I don't particularly have problems with gold either. While I'm fighting near hero I figure I avg about 20 gold spent every hour so I do spend a a good bit for someone who tries not to spend too much time going out of his way for getting coins. Trying to sell stuff definately falls under 'going out of my way' for me. I don't like carrying anything I don't need to carry, or going from town to town trying to find a shopkeep that'll take my stuff. Much faster to kill a 'broken' gold mob.
But people certainly are having problems, there's no point denying that. The common imm response seems to be 'it's cause you're too lazy to get off your ass and explore'. It'd be one thing if difficulty in gold collection really added much to the game, but does it? When you're killing that newbie at lvl 20 out of moves, no potion, sitting on the mountainpath to Akan just waiting to die do you ever wonder if it's supposed to be this easy?
When I was a newbie and I asked for gold spots people readily gave me places and mob names, the inn, bandit camp, blackclaw... when I asked about practicing they gave me areas and mobs too. Would you tell anyone your gold spots now? Your practice spots? I wouldn't. I don't want to chance them getting rebalanced. Re-exploring looking for new spots takes time, time I don't have now.
The problem is that the changes affect some a lot more than others, mainly newer players and the 'casual' players who would like to be able to play at a competitive level without re-exploring(which is pretty time-consuming) with each change. They really felt the changes, those who have the time to re-explore or had prior knowledge were affected to a far lesser degree.
There definately was a shift in the relative level of power between players, the gap basically widened. Some think this is a good thing, and respond with 'well, if you don't like it, get better' which basically sums up your argument and voices the sentiment of most imms.
I'm just saying there are some who disagree.
