It seems someone from the elyos side spatalos server has won the Godstone: Khrudgelmir's Silence by spending 300,+ euros cash according to this topic thread @ GameForge forum threads (LINK - Scroll down to 4th of the last comments) by the GF user name Ari4nni

Quote

Quoted from "[NICK]Ari4nni"
Well today is the day I get the OP godstone. I have all the odd number tickets!

Tradable or not I will be selling the mentioned godstone and be sure it won't cost less than 3 bil ! :P

Ely - Spatalos, let the bidding starts!

To the current situation a lot of players/certain staff from GF are against this. That Godstone was removed from drop since 1.2, roughly 3 years ago. NCSoft has taken it down for a reason. It should not be given no matter what, that Godstone is the same problem as the strike/-spell resist scrolls back then at the aionshop due to advantage of pvp. I wonder if NCKorea knows about this.

Someone sold " Khrudgelmir's Silence" (10s, 10%)
for b/o 1.7 Billion Kinah on Telemachus Elyos Lfg today..

Seller said he paid 100 Euros tickets only to get it..
So.. since some spend 300 euros and still haven't got it..

This godstone banned at 1.2 cost between 100 to 500euros now..
Depending on your luck

These kind of things is an example what makes the population drop and the players leave the game its not only the fact of a new MMO. I thought there was a slight chance of hope, but there is simply none at all. Its trully a German mentality.. They wont admit that they failed horribly. They screwed it totally up and they will ignore everything and censor all flames. From now on we can expect everything. We also know how this company handles it.

But wait there is more juicy stuff..

Quote

Quoted from "Seven"
Regarding marketing decisions the influence from the player base is relatively low. The company will decide on whatever they think will yield them the most money. If they consider the people buying lots to bring in more money than they lose from "quitting because P2W" players, then they'll add them and won't remove them.

Also to those who complain about GameForge being "greedy" - keep in mind that when GameForge earns more money from the game they are also able to hire more staff for it and provide better service, so in the end you players also benefit from a publisher who cares about maximizing income.

This quote of Seven made me really speechless. I lost words when he said provide better service for us players.. Which clearly isn't even true nor changed at all due to the majority of the players that has experienced so far since the influence from the player base is relatively low.

Quote

Quoted from "[NICK]joannei"
Easily, they check the data logs and give the players who bought it with game money, the same ammount back.

That money will be obviously taken from the person who received it, and the REAL money that that person spent....refunded ...

2 problems here:

First: Gameforge programmers know how to use programming, but lack experience...(data log bugs...errors..patch problems...shows that), tho with some encouraging, they can easily acess the data log files and find out those players bussiness details!

Second: Gameforge Boss, must be a "well fed"(just well fed, don't take it to other ways) person who is trying to fill his pockets with money ignoring the alrerady good profits, to keep himself well fed. Because of that, he will NEVER allow such "Refunds" happen...why?
Because Gameforge already got that money in their pockets...they will never give it back...never.

FOR AION! FOR GREED DESTRUCTION!

Got blackeyed already !?!?! Hunt for the name!!!?!!!?!! Found it !?!?!

Lord Makarov: "I haz been playying Aion for two yearz, read many foromz too, I no see problem, one godstone no unbalance server hurrhurr"

I fully agree though, it's a nyerking big mistake and disrespect to the entire game they did this.
The only reason I keep playing is my friends in the game - I sure as hell am not spending a cent in their retard shop anymore, they can go nyerk themselves.

Just as a correction of your incorrect information, these godstones were not banned or taken away in Korea, just the 'drop' of them was removed, thus NCkorea will not give a nyerk. There are players with these godstones still unused there and some of the popular korean pvp vids features these godstones, even after they were 'removed'. 1 godstone will not make a difference at all, whoever pays 300 euros on this game is a sad individual, whoever farms 3 billion kinah and spends that on a godstone is also sad. Don't worry about it, some scrub will buy it.

/care ;D

I think its not about this single GS (but many other ppl will get it too for sure)... But imagine, if GameFail is able to provide item which is not able to get for real money, what can we expect next? This can only be worse and worse (y i know its hard to imagine, cause they already nyerked almost everything)...

Thats what i meant. Used the wrong words :P Indeed removed from drop. I can still remember the old players back then who has used this godstones and still have it. Ye but this is just the start what Gameforge is capable of. To ruin the gameplay even more

[cezi]

And you didn't see stuff like this coming? Only took 5 minutes of looking at previous gameforge games to know the direction Aion would turn, if you don't like it, don't play

Thats so true, for you.


Because you are bad anyway, with godstone or without .

Answer from: Vian

Hello Guylian,

This stone was not banned, it was removed due to it being 2 powerful with the wide amount of players having access to it. However since this stone will be very hard to get and will be contained as a very rare item, we have classed this as not being over powered.

If you have any more problems now, or in the future, please feel free to contact us again!

Best regards
Vian
Aion Game Support



This is the purest definition of pay to win. This stone is only achievable by paying real money, thus having a greater advantage towards other non paying customers. Ah well...

I'd say 100-300e.

For 300e you can get 2.5b kinah .

[avriela]

If it was up to 50 I could consider it but with 300 I can travel almost anywhere in europe or eat good food out every day for about 10 days. No thanks.

[cezi]

It's not a guarantee either, I've never understood why people drop a load of money in games tbh, more money than sense i suppose!

I saw this coming but didnt quite expect this rare godstone that they would release due advantage gain for pvp. I didnt say, i dont like Aion anymore. I just play to hang with friends and enjoy the game till it lasts. If it may be the end of it, so be it.

[LKaz]

Well, whether or not they do things like that people still throw money at GF so they just cash in on it, though even NCsoft wasn't this bold. It's not whether or not they will nyerk consumers over, but by how much. And their excuse is even worse, they just use the same flawed logic of NCsoft. Rarity of something does not justify it's power and unbalance. Same thing with DP, they justify the ridiculous power of it by giving it a CD & requiring DP points.

In the end though, this will not have any significant impact on their income nor the player base as a whole, so they'll just continue to cash in on it.

tl;dr opportunism of a mediocre company
