Suggestions for QOL changes

Hi everyone, yachi here
Lately i've been thinking that it would be nice to add to the Kolka NPC more ways to get some money, or even accessories/boss gear
Since the current state of the market is basically rotating on enhancing materials and endgame accessories, it would be good to buff the low end spots like gahaz/polly/fogans etc..
A good way would be to make the trash loot more valueable or make it drop more
In my opinion we need more ways to get raw silver by actively playing the game, and not by just being afk 24/7 for pearls

My thought is:
Lets take gahaz for example
One trash loot is worth 2400, so 20.000 trash loot is worth 48.000.000
It would be good, especially on new players if we could decide to sell them to vendor at their normal price or keep grinding until we hit for example 20k trash loot and exchange it to Kolka for doubled price, maybe receiving ingots

Another suggestion is to make Marni stones actually valueable too
Since exp is not really a problem on this server it would be good to change the properties of marni stones, so you can use them at whatever lvl higher than 56, and exchange them for raw silver, trash loot or for the accessory dropping in that zone

TL;DR This server is focused on endgame content and most new players(especially those new to bdo) cant find their way to gear up. Giving players more spots to get good money from would help this server to grow even more, introducting them to pvp asap and make the server more alive, instead of seeing most people afk for pearls. Adding custom content is one of the things that attract people to private servers, and stuff like Olympiads is very good

Thanks for your time and soz for random english, i was in a hurry.
And especially thanks for the server you guys are providing to us, love you @Kolka

 

I really like this thread, especially that it, unlike So many others, actually stops to give thanks to (well at least one) a staffmember.

I have already made a suggestion for this, I will have to dig it up and repost it, however what I wanted to point out, is that "grey-trash"-loot weighs quite a lot after the first 2000. So it wouldn't be a good idea to increase the amount dropped, or we are going to be right back at; "Inventory management is too difficult" complaints again.

20.000 "grey-trash"-loot items? How to carry that? What do you mean "normal price"? What ingots are you interested in?

 

Actually, it's really easy to manage trash items, just have any horse in somewhere it won't get killed by mobs and you're good, I use fairies to put them on the storage (yeah, you need a good amount of maids/butlers but it's way more convenient).
And we really need a new method for newer players to make money, kinda discouraging when the best way to make money is to afk and sell caphras
On another note I'm actually surprised seeing you talking positive about the server, people do actually change...
(Edit: Typos cause writing on the phone is kinda annoying)

 

Just want to clarify, that this player means: "Maids/Butlers": https://bdocodex.com/us/item/149013/

I know that some of them are named "Fairy" (https://bdocodex.com/us/item/18813/), but they are Maids and Butlers.

The BIG problem here is of course that these helpers, only deliver a certain amount of weight, AND they can ONLY deliver to the Largest City in the Region, NOT the nearest town/city with a storage. Which then means that as soon as you enter Valencia, just east of Altinova, ALL items are sent automatically to Valencia instead of Altinova.

 

@loboram i would appreciate if you ask devs or @Kolka to answer to my post, because all your answers are not what i needed.
When you grind you just put the trash loot in your horse and thats it. Your experience on bdo is pretty bad in my opinion because all your answers are not even on point.

I made a right suggestion that imo has no bad points. I would appreciate if you, as mod, would ask the staff higher than you as grade to answer
I dont wanna start another thread where people insult you cause of your stupid answers, so please @Kolka or @Noyah clear those answers and give me the right one.

1)is it possible to code something like that?
2)can we have a strawpoll to see if players want it?(with maybe more stuff from other suggestions)
3)please review your mod loboram because all the answers are just useless and never pertinent to what we ask

Thanks again for your time

 

@loboram you can close this post, got my answer from kolka by dm

 

Why even make a post then? And there was literally no reason to be toxic, man's only gave his opinion like you did

 

Look...I do not appreciate you tone here at all, since what you are indeed doing is insulting me, without any reason at all.

Like you, I gave you my opinion, and even asked you a few questions which seemed quite obvious.
At NO point did I try to "shoot you down", belittle you, call you names, or in any way insult you.

If it is a big problem for you to answer questions, about your own suggestion, then I suggest that you try as best you can to not insult people, just because they are answering your suggestion, instead just try to answer the questions, and be forthcoming when it comes to debating your suggestion, without the need for name calling.

 

We do need some change to QOL, however, you pointed only things that would benefit the PvP/Grind side, haven't we see enough of QOL for those? Some PvP/Grind QOL also broke other systems and mechanics. Think about Caphras' exchange... We've lost so many lifeskiller players due to this mechanic, and that's the reason why our market is broken. There's no economy in this server. To fix it, they need to add some QOL for lifeskiller, which are the biggest wheel in a healthy economy. They provide so much to the market and other players...
We also need a break to this cicle, where the server gets movement only on the first weeks of a new patch. It's not that hard to keep players interested.
