Tokens

Post#1 » Sun Feb 07, 2021 11:28 pm

Hi,

The market is quite poor in tokens, would it be possible to have a token merchant based on your tier at like the double of the price of the one after raid?

Why not just kill the boss for tokens?/ I mean you solo damn near every top boss but you wanna just buy VT and DSK3 tokens!?

I personally don't agree with tokens being so easy to get these days and also giving loot?? I mean they used to be random drop off bosses yet the tier 9 boss is now 100% drop plus a mushroom to buy 1 token from each lower tier. So for every Luclin kill you can get 2 vt tokens and 1 dsk3 token and 1 token for reach lower tier..

That's 2 vt tokens and 1 dsk3 token a kill, seems a little to given away right now as it is. Not to mention now you receive loot off the click of a token. (only reason they are being sought after anyway..)

I'd like to vote removing the mushroom selling tokens at killing boss and taking tokens back to a % based drop for they are and always been a chance reward not expected and defiantly never been expected like this just for the loot clicks.

The token system is around for a good while now and always been a love/hate thing. I just want to put it in here that the DEV team is debating for a good while now to change/remove it completely. It was a good thing back in the days to help piggyback alts but at the same time it can completely ruin the player experience at THF, making it possible for new players to completely skip/miss out on our custom content. With 10 tiers out there, the skip is really huge now.

It's a tough topic too since the economy is also heavily relying on these tokens right now. Which is actually a good reminder that economy also needs more attention and we have to make it more meaningful.

That being said, nothing decided yet and we will most probably start a community discussion about it before touching the topic anyways so you guys can hear your voice.

Can't say I have much to say here. Think I kinda side with Lillu and team though. I don't really use tokens. I flag the hard way lol. Alts or new players. They get the content and I get things to do win/win. They just probably miss the difficulty with me being a higher tier then them lol.

Hi,

I spend one year and half on zek in vt when luclin was launched.
I did vt/dsk3 on thf before i quit in 2014/15, i'm done with this zone...
I don't want to use programs it would kill my fun.
I use tokens as clickies.
I bought about 80 vt token the last month (@snorks thanks for your Gringotts vault...)
I have almost no upgrades in game except super rare loots, tokens are the only way for me to get them.

Hello!

I think I may have meet you 9 years ago?? 8-)

Ive also been farming the same zones for rare's just as long and been in and out of server for 10 years and if you need loot from a zone you are not done with it :lol: Farming mobs/zones for rare is what Everquest is?? Asking to buy tokens for loot cause you don't want to raid the zone or "your done with it" is not what tokens where made for at all. Tokens are the only way you want to get loot that's not EQ :cry:

Suppose we can just agree to disagree but tokens should not be your only form of looting nor anyone else's, I came back after a few years and Im still farming the SAME mobs for rare's because thats EQ and I love it :P

- Beat could agree with you on the tradeskills lol.
- It must be the snakes?
- I'm not really understanding. A man of your skills makes things splat fairly quickly anyways lol.

I mean you don't like them ok I guess. There's always going to be something. You can't please everyone 100% I suppose lol.
But you get those rares and then what is there to work towards in the meantime? :D

I like the token system pretty much the way it is now. After killing in VT for multiple years now I have only gotten some of the rare drops once or twice. Without being able to click a token and possibly getting a rare I would have been burned out. I tracked loot / kills for 30 days, 3 rares total for Talriem Brothers / Luclin. Clicking 2 tokens every day as well - 2 rares.

One character VT having all the common / class items and one or two of the rares it still took me 50+ tokens to get all the items one character could use (misc event augs and xmas gear).

DSK3 gave up on since killing the 5 bosses with no drops that are worthwhile just to get to the last boss is a waste of time. Nice that at least have a chance at the items by buying a token in VT. Last 18 clicks have been -- You are not favored by the gods or whatever the message is so not like it is an easy way to get items.

If you want to get rid of clicking tokens might help to look at drop rate then.

If the concern is skipping content could make the tokens only flag for zone in question instead of everything. If you could also add that need previous tier before turning in the next tier might slow things down for people but still leave a path for those that just want to bring up an alt. That might force at least some content - HoH access for instance since there is no token.

niix
