Sylpheed Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Looks like one of the best months in a while to me. Never thought I'd say this, but it's nice to have a major quest that isn't focused entirely on the Gods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoko Kurama Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I am excited for the Quest. Hopefully this one will be a *real* GM quest (unlike certain other ones), but probably not. I am terribly disappointed that the Gold Dragon lost -- what a tremendous mistake. It had the potential to be a new QBD, a solo high-level moneymaker. Instead everyone went for the Summoning supplies Dragon. The problem with that is the same that is there with every such dragon (including QBD). The reason people do them is for money, so if you have them drop noted resources, people just dump them for quick GPies, and that just crashes the market, and over time GP/hour decreases sharply. That's why gold caches are better, it removes the middleman, and you just get the GP up straight, and you can do whatever you want with it. With this dragon though, all it will do is crash summoning supplies, and that will be that, and once that happens, it won't be of much use, as a moneymaker, to people not looking for summoning supplies. At least a Gold Dragon would have been useful to a variety of players. God, people are shortsighted sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not really short sighted just different goals then yours. and it shouldnt decrease to much with combat scrolls being usable again. [spoiler=click you know you wanna]Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies. The fault is not mine! if you had this childhood and loved it put this in your signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza285 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I wonder if we will see a new familiar pouch come from these dragons. That would be a nice twist to this poll.

Ammako Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The majority of the profits you get from QBD aren't straight-up coins, you get what practically is noted resources which people dump for quick GP and yet it remains one of the best money makers in the game. We don't even know what kind of drops those dragons will have nor how they will work, so what if we waited until that point before knocking them? And then there's what michel's saying; if those dragons turn out being 5 second kills that let you quickly farm a couple summoning materials, then they will remain popular as a way of training Summoning. Making the best GP/hour isn't the only reason people do things in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least a Gold Dragon would have been useful to a variety of players. God, people are shortsighted sometimes.Direct gold drops from monsters also leads to higher inflation with gold being worth less because of so much of it being in game which leads to higher prices for everything because people with access to this gold monster have all the money they need to buy things they want except they don't because supply can't keep up with demand so you have to pay more to get what you want. The point is, there is far too much gp already in the game; intertrading between players (using the GE middleman as you put it) will, overall, keep the price of everything down, meaning the average player can afford more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strilmus Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 while it would have been nice to have cheaper herblore supplies, people would rather have price gouge farming than deal with the ridiculously low gather rate for summoning supplies, i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Arcane Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Had to double check what I was told just in case the quest could come out earlier, but yeah, be about the 18th. Heist on Tuesday, apparently a no update week after that and then the quest *should* be on the 18th. Can't say that this is absolutely guaranteed, just what I've heard is all.

Th e Doctor Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Posted an idea of Heists and a DnD a while back on my blog, it will be interesting to see how their update will compare. Dragon update looks interesting? Abyssals getting wand/orb is well needed. If they have another 3 months of content like this, that actually looks useful and entertaining, I might come back to playing to catch up. Also because I miss hyt...

Roleplaying only works if everyone plays by the rules, and even then it's only as good as the weakest player (If RP communities ever seem viciously elitist, they have a very good reason for it) Unfortunately, we have an entire community of players that could not possibly give less of a shit about either the rules or roleplaying....
