Thanks for the reply. I did forget to mention common items and that is my fault. Common items are a great addition to make weapons and armor cheaper. A lot of people don't even enchant their armor. This makes common armor very helpful for those people but the armor loses its set bonus. My main purpose was to show my view points and the game communities view points on the economy and how to help it. I hope this gives people a better understanding and a little more incite on Lineage 2's economy.
You say you're putting forward the communities view points... that is not true the Lineage II community does not agree with you.
Most of these ideas were taken from the community. Unfortunately, I am limited to 1500 words. It is impossible to put forth all ideas in 1500 words or less so I just put in some. You have to remember that this isn't my job and I'm just doing this in the spare time of my real life. If other people think they can do it better...then do it.
All i want in the game for materials or basic mats mostly would be. To give Warsmith's or any player the ability to crush and/or change loot items. To get materials from them. If you get avadon gaiters material, crush it and get skins and thread. Even better would be an option menu giving the exchange for that particular item. Make an Exchange Npc to see what possible items you could get for that exchange.
It would keep the basic mat prices down and also make it so there would be no taxes . Try it out on an event to see if it works. Has to be better than some of the earlier events we had.
First: You need also to be economical smart, find thing you that are valuable. NCSoft makes farming a part of the game you have to do. Not farming as in using a bot, but farming as in using a site to find particular stuff the market wants and spoil until you get it (and level in the process).
Secondly: NCSoft stimulates a one clan takes it all policy. The end game is over, einheit won because big clan get all sort of extra's like clan skills. NCSoft didnt think people will forget it is a game but they do forget. Einheit members take part in TW and they dont fight 4 their party, they leave clan members in other parties alive and kill the game in the process.
Thirdly, back on subject, botting is out of control. There are a lot of big clan members that don't know how to play but they are 80+ I ask you why? They have 16+ weapons all of them... its not humanly possible almost to have 16+ weapons. It should be extremely rare, but here they are 100 of them all s80 +16
By the way our clan likes role playing and leveling and having fun. TW is not fun anymore, but necessary evil to lay there death and get batches & reps laying death...thank you einheit
I have played the game since OB/C1. The problem with L2 is that it is controlled by the RMT or at least on the Phoenix server. With changes NC has made since C1 they have helped the RMTs gain this status to the point i feel the company is behind them.
All those that say they "play the market" are LOL.
I mean think about it...everyone is trying to buy low and sell high...but you were successfull...LOL x2. Normally thats how the ebayer/botter justify their Adena gain.
I have a toon in the high 70s and still in A Armour. .. And if someone comes on and says i don't know how to play..i would sat that person is an idiot.
Save your money folks ..its a crap game run by an even crappier company. No live GMs, canned answers to petitions, just an all around POS.

Very interesting article and discussion.
But I think that you miss the point!
NCSoft earns money from botting and from selling adena for real money.
Actually NCSoft makes more money from botting and selling adena than from the subscription of the game!
So NCSoft forces the prices up to make more players to use bot programs and to pay real money for adena.
So this article is a nice try but has nothing to do with reality!
That's why NCSoft doesn't solve the problem with bots and adena.
It only bans some bots from time to time just to hide.
Lineage economy is based completely on bot system.
Even noobs know this!
Don't hide behind your thumb!
