Yeah... that doesn't really work with this topic. The issue with the duel stones was trying to make PvP a little more profitable when they are used. Of course you still have the choice of boycotting the duel stones area and just PvP in the world to get moneys or of course just simply refuse to duel in lower cost stones. It wasn't taking away from your options, it just seemed like some of you thought it was one option too many.

This issue is about an option of play style being prevented due to an unnecessary item. Of course people don't have to use it but when there is barely any markup and its extremely convenient, most people will use it. This in turn prevents players from becoming merchants of the goods the stone sells.

Just my experience but when players have the power to handle the economy themselves, it tends to stay stable with less effort. On a shard that is both pvp and rp these types of things are important and quite frankly should have been taken into consideration from day one. If players need to rely on each other for supplies more often it will help build a stronger community. This is just one of those little steps that adds to that.

I understand that people are lazy and want the reg stone, I get it. Though lets look at this rationally, only a fool needs a reg stone to pvp normally. People fought fine before such things existed and would do so here without it.

Oh and please don't lie and say that it would alter the pvp, as I find that rather insulting to all the work maka put into it. To claim that removal of a stupid stone would undo the very balance of the pvp world is just absurd.

Again, the stone will not likely be removed but an increase in the cost is a good idea for several reasons and since nobody has complained about a small hike in the cost or a reason not to do so we will probably take that approach to get a feel for how the population handles it.

Shade why the heck do we need to buy regs from npcs please explain to me will it make a difference if i can run to ocllo and buy them? this just allows me to buy them while im dueling incase i dont have supplys before entering a duel or if i ever run out.

You can't remove the stones because pvpers duel each other for items or money which you use supplys and many pvers run out of resources often depending on skill level.

Removing the reg stone is like removing all bankers to a different location and making them have to take a risk to bank, theres no logical reason as to why you would need to remove the stone because the money goes to the same place lol expect the reg stone is more expensive than normal regs.

Also your really talking about how players shouldn't be able to depend on them selves? Where was this in the summer when we had to make fun by our selves? If we have the money to buy an expensive bag of regs why not lol? It's not like it's costing you anything I hunted for my money and I can use it on the reg stone where regs are more expensive and it's going to the same place as the money of the npc is going *into the shard*

The reason why it will effect the PvP is it's something we rely on while dueling we know it's there. All these resources they weigh a lot and you will always need regs when dueling and it's never going to change. Removing regs from places like pits/tours/duel stones is like removing logs when lumbjerakcing on a tree..

The reg stone is for players and to make their lives easier but it is still costly, just like stackable items it's easier and makes the players life easier. You don't see me posting about kegs being useless now that manas/gh pots can be stackable so why even bother making kegs anymore?

Raise the price I don't care but you shouldn't remove it
