maybe they should put an alter or something in the game for members so they can purify normal essence. It would be something that costs nothing, but has a 25% failure rate. That way, f2p can still sell normal ess to members, and they can purify it to make the better runes. I don't care to seperate ess. I think that the market for pure ess is going to push prices through the roof. How many members do you know that mine ess to sell? I know of none, it is not something that I care to do, so I buy all my ess. Maybe they could place a mine cart like at the coal trucks... so each run you can mine more. Or have a dwarf there that you can pay to bank the ess for you, like you can with the gold in keldagrim. ( this of course would be members only ) just my 2 cents worth on this.
