Why all the trend towards single player?

[LordB]

Well it is an economy sim (I use that term somewhat tongue in cheek) it isn't supposed to be equal the game is supposed to reward building your base and then trading intelligently. Everyone gets the same canvass (that little island we call home) and then from there equality will never exist again.

That said I do agree with you idea that adventures like IOTP BK and RB shouldnt be the primary egg drops, an event should encourage new adventures being tested and discovered for farming which results in new guides or ideas etc etc.

many of us have hundreds if not more stocked up for IOTP..... it is quite available, just worth more than it use to go for.

During an event like this because of the speed (20-25 mins) for the reasonable chance at 150 eggs it is simply the most efficient way of farming a resource; would be negligent not to mention the adventure as a farming tool.

And it is silly to equate ls buyers with not running IOTP/single player. I buy the ls for twice the amount during the event while I am efficiently farming IOTP and a few other adventures to remain nameless.

Many of us have hundreds of IOTPs? What many are you talking about? I don't know anyone with hundreds of any adventure and been playing for over 2 years have guildies been in since server start. You sure must spend a lot of RL money on this game.

Well now you know someone! It was really simple, took that rarity provision house, manufactured map frags, sold anything and everything for map frags... and then used untold map frags to buy IOTP, SA before they were removed from the shop. Most of the serious players I know were doing the same thing... I am pretty sure the rarity provision house was from a christmas event so no gems involved in the process.. just basic planning. You should travel in different circles, could have gotten good advice before it was too late.
I should have and could have bought thousands in hindsight.

I have spent RL money on the game though but not since 2012 or early 13, but it was wasted in gem pits which have since been demolished and now the gems sit in my inventory with nothing to be used on,

@Narasn. I agree for the most part on that idea. The biggest egg drops shouldn't be from the easiest adventures (traitors pirates wots) they should be from follow up adventures like RBN and ML (to really limit availability) and then co op adventrues, to increase cooperation. But I think the goal was simply to make it really easy, even RB swaps drop tons of eggs.

I can understand buying some SAs, probably not hundreds, but not sure about IOTP. IOTP is a good adventure for lower levels, and you could help out guildies or sell it, but I think frags would be better spent on BKs or RBs. Loot is better and you can make more selling those LS (assuming that BB doesn't make IOTP a highly sought after adventure for an event - kind of hit the jackpot there). Hope that the investment pans out for you. I will keep hording my resources for the rainy days of the future: well, whatever I have left after this event anyway.

Why would you buy adventures that continue to be sold. There is unlimited supply of those. (sigh) Economics can be tough I know; I've been selling IOTP for 100 eggs almost all event long, which would mean a return on investment of 3000-4000% so yes yes the investment did pan out....

I buy what I like to run with my guild mates is all. Already have so much stuff in my star, trying the corner the market on something like an adventure, just doesn't appeal to me. Would rather be socializing in chat, or running an adventure, then playing on the TO or in Trade. Has nothing to do with economics, more to do with what people are trying to get out of the game.

Which leads us back to the starting point of the thread, in that BB should try to promote co-ops more during events. Having Traitors and IOTP be two of the main adventures that got focus because of egg drops seems a bit out of sorts. Maybe an overreaction to the Halloween event, when everyone was only running BKs because of the drops.

[JohannusRex]

BB advertised well in advance that IOtP would be dropped from adv store, and I like many others with an RPH stocked up on them. I ran through 25-30 and then began buying them in TO for map frags. Once I had enough eggs to buy a 2nd MMA, I was able to chain the advs. I hope they return this adv to the store, also, now that my stock is gone

[AlliNel]

In the future BB, should not provide events drops in ANY adventure that can't currently be purchased with map frags or gems.

agree

[Gwalben]

I made most of my eggs from Outlaws, though there were other simpler/faster ways to do so. Not easy to come by as it once was but not too bad. If I couldn't find, though, Traitors and Bandit Nest are both a lot faster and available in the shop for fragments, so it's not as if all of the higher egg drop adventures were that tough to obtain.

[Troll-Phu]

you guys do realize that Ubisoft is a "for profit" company??? of course they want you to send money, you don't go to work for free do you? if you guys want all the cool stuff then I suggest spending some money. BB in the future make all event quests/adventures limited gem items!!!!!
