To many RNG = problems

[Huaua]

Hi, im Avaelius lvl 50 rng and im noticing there are to many rng now, its bad enough that our costs are high, but now there are more rng so prices are booming up. I cant stand seeing a war bow +1 at 70K go up to 130K in 1 week, and guess what, its raising, i just bought it for 130K and now its at 150K, its enough already. Scorp arrows are nice and reliable staying at the same price, but the bows are giving me a headach. Plus now that there are more rng, there are more bad rng lol. sure at one given time you only see maybe 2 or 3 rng lvl 50-60 online, but just today i saw 12 of them, half with shity exp coments like "rnged acc +6!" and "i have a hunters bow +1", cmon, your lvl 50+ not lvl -1.
just waiting for the huge amount of rng to get offline so posting this thread to waste time (dont tell me to go farm, i have enough gil as it is). i can only help for no flames or useless posts like "sigh " that i see all to often, btw im on Odin. anyone else seeing the future here? yep, soon every NA player will have enough gil to just "get by" rng without being to crapy, meaning prices will explode.... :spin:
hmmm ima make a huge amount of smilies

So... you mean there are a lot of rangers on your server and they are pumping the price up? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I really don't think any crappy ranger can get over level 50 since most of them will be knocked out by the level 50 cap and lv 55 cap. Those needs party and alliance but if you are a crappy Ranger then people will know about that and will probably not invite you since that will be a handicap for them.

I don't think there are enough lv 50~60 NA players to make you forget their names and never party with them again in those range. You will most likely party with them once of twice and if you are good or bad they will know and remember about that ^^.

Once prices get too high people will start to drop ranger as a job. I know of a lot of low level rangers that have turned to that in lew of another job because the quest is easier and the dmg is so high. But without proper financial backing and patience many of them will start to notice that playing ranger really isn't their style. Especially when they start to fall behind more dedicated rangers at lvl 30 and higher. As for prices once your demand drops prices will drop too, demand will eventually drop over time as people begin to stop playing ranger and/or begin to craft their own materials. I fully plan on crafting my arrows when I am a ranger once again (killed my low level galka ranger for a taru ranger instead :-D). With a larger amount of ranger products in the market and less consumption as a result of more people crafting and less people playing as rangers, prices will drop dramatically. Lol sorry for that econ lesson guys, I just got done with some econ studying and it always makes me think about supply and demand charts. Now this is all considering that inflation stays at a low rate.

You're wrong.
The crappy rangers will hit 50 using bone arrows and a power bow. How? Same reason I see PLD50/DRK03, WHM50/SMN01, and BRD50/BLM05. Dumbass pts will pick them up. Good equip, skillful play, and proper subs are essential for "good" partys, but good partys are getting harder and harder to find. Shitty partys, on the other hand...

no kidding. Been in too many groups where the leader just HAD to get a 6th man. Guess what? We picked up a mithra ranger at 35.

We thought, hey, mithran ranger, gotta be bad ass, so why not.

We thought wrong....

This "bad ass ranger" was just bad. How bad?

conversation went like this after I checked her (not wearing centurian armor and I got suspicious cause I've seen a few lv 17 pld/war in valkrum with lv 1 (issue, default) armor and I checked a few days later, and they were lv 32 in, get ready:

beetle armor! woooooo. The job I was lving at the time, brd, is still lv 19 by the way cause I had to stop to farm for gil)

but anyway, back to the crap ranger.

me: "uh, you got a bow?"

her/him/idiot: "I'm training up my marksmenship"

me: "well that's fine but do you have anything else cept a light crossbow and lv 1 bolts?"

him: "I craft and I got a bunch of these. I'm just going to use them all up."

me: "um... I don't know, you should go train your weapon skills by yourself and not in a pt if you are going to use crappy weapons."

him: "wtf, you know how expensive it is to play ranger?? I don't got all day to waste money you know"

me: /t leader this guy sucks, we should kick him and just fight with 5 people and wait till someone better shows up

leader: we need a 6th though! It won't matter too much and I don't want to be mean and kick someone.

At this point, I just shut up and play the best I can cause I was a thf at this point and it's too hard to get a pt as it was. Basically, he was just an exp leech. Did crap damage, (probably had zero marksmenship), and kept complaining how I pull too slow.

Luckily I just told him to pull and he does. and then falls into a hole and dies cause it's garliage and newbies tend to do stuff like that :D

I got my last laugh but in the end I think he still made out like a bandit cause he got a free level out of us and got raise cause blm had tractor.

Don't I feel dumb for having 100k in weapons alone. Not even counting shihei I use for pulling or any of my armor. Maybe we should all just fight naked and leech exp. It seems to be the popular trend!

gack I hate wussy pt leaders that don't know how to kick.

:mad:

You made my day.

Or what about the time when the noob party leader in garlaige doesnt notice that hes got FOUR paladins in his party and a whm and a rdm. *sigh* i think each kill took like 10 minutes and i didnt notice anything other than myself hitting for over 50 damage period . just goes to show you when theres like a ranger a thief and a ninja lfg in front of his eyes while i can farm 80k for dispel and he cant get a proper party when theres so many assests around. Then this party started bitching to me that my nukes were to low and im like WTF you newbie i dont see your average hits hitting for over 14 damage . But instead of that rangers and ninjas in the end seem to gil reliant which makes things slow and oftley stupid when farming becomes a chore at 60 +

Im a lvl 45 rng right now and im trying to use scorp arrows (actually i'll never lvl without them :> except i can use better arrows ) My bow: Battle Bow+1 ( hope its the right name it must be the one for lvl 40) Armor: RSE. And until now nobody complaints about me "Yay"
Huaua its true what u r saying it really pisses me off, today i buyed arrows for 50k for one stupid lvl up =( I hate too farm a few hours only to get one lvl up, but if have to deal with so im trying my best.

So what do i want to say with this post.... i dont know :> I dont want to whine about the current situation but pls dear crafter, keep the Prices normal.

i just think about it this way. 1 lvl up at that level is equal to leveling up about 5 times at newbie levels. all time is relavent but the cost is greater becuase ur buying best of the best. if anyone understands me thats how i view things. anyway. ---whatever:confused: :confused: :confused:

5 lvls 14-19, assuming you arent soling as ranger =

~20k exp- allitle more than i thought however doing it this way

1-2stacks of iron arrows per lvl = 1-2k x 3 = 3-6k (respectivley)

then at lvl 16 you get powerbow+1, bone rings + 1 so thats (on my server) -> 21k

assuming at lvl 17(?) you switch to beetle arrows you'll be running abou the same as iron arrows for 2 levels wich is around 5k

so


min cost = 29k, max cost=32k so 40k is not toooooooo far off from even leveling at newbie levels (or teens, whatever) - thats just how i see it :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Minions]

Last time I checked n my server powerbow+1 was 25-30k and bone rings +1 were 6-7k each >.< as for iron arrows, when I was in dunes I easily used up 30 stacks I think >.<. If you go ranger, I suggest you solo now that PS2 came out... not that all ps2 users are bad, just that there are enough bad ones to make you throw your PC out the window...

I just solo'd my ranger to 30 heh

groups just were not worth the pain.. It seems the standard now days is to have an underleve'd sub with no jewlery and 10 level old armor.
