And I know I used a lot of AP to mine and begged and whined and did everything so that our crafters WILL be the best. You will find that level of dedication ...not so often. But I will gladly prove everyone who thinks that automated heroes can provide information about how much time it needs - to talk to 30 people in a guild, tell them how the game works, how they should develop, give them equipment, advice, demand resources - do automated heroes do THAT ?
No, only people who run well-organized guilds to that ! Automated heroes get stuff for free , so they dont feel the frustration of missing 20 AP when you mine 40 AP silver. You can "track my progress " but you can never understand what the progress cost me. So I honestly dont believe that anyone who has not played the game seriously has a clue where the balance lies. You need to play the game seriously to see how it works - to play from the position of a person who strives to be the best and not like a bot. Then you will see how easy it is and where the balance lies - and how much effort does success cost. Everything else - its just calculations and guess on your part... its not the real deal .
I think that the main problem of the game is too easy getting of free diamonds. You craft and sell for diamonds. Look at the beta, how many people sell there goods for diamonds... For the best players this is the main motor of being even better. You sell for diamonds and You use it for extra AP points..24AP base + 24AP from diamonds. That is two times faster game than normal....And the players that dont sell the goods for diamonds or dont buy them for real money? they are developing normal or even slower.
Look at the alfa realm. There You dont develop so fast because You cant sell items for diamonds. Of course there is some stuff for diamonds, but nobody buys it (no players). On beta realm there are plenty more of players and full of diamonds.
My point is that the monsters are now well balanced, the crafting is in my opinion ok, but the problem lays in the diamonds, which you transform in to 24AP each day. Some players on beta have earned during two months play about 500-1000 of diamonds or even more... That is free premium and free 24 AP...
On alfa everything cost...and diamonds are more valuable...than on beta.
look at this.
1. player that dont uses diamonds -> no premium -> each move cost 2 AP, two time slower travelling -> slower gaining of points
2. player who crafts on realm with many players -> free premium -> extra points from diamonds, faster travelling, everything cost 1 AP -> too fast gaining of points (faster than creating of new locations)...
I'm now controlling some players on alfa and some of them are without premium, some are using diamonds from "testing premium". My account uses diamonds that I bought from real money and I know what is the value of each of 1 diamond.
