The best grinders will always be the strongest players. If they could grind twice as much as you could before, they're still going to be grinding twice as much and killing twice the monsters you can. You aren't going to be able to catch up to them any more than you could before. If everyone's level doubles, then no one's does. The only way to change this is a widely-attainable level cap.



The problem isn't the content. As you said, 2K2 used to get 100+ players, and that was when there were fewer monsters, fewer items, fewer things to do. The focus needs to be on trials and getting them to upgrade.



I sure didn't do anything like say there should be a FAQ team or something.



People come up with a lot of bad ideas. I come up with a lot of bad ideas too. The difference is that I realize that they're bad before I post them.



The impact that the traditional concepts of supply and demand have on the 2K2 economy is pretty limited because of how influential people's beliefs on what prices are "supposed" to be are. When changes in supply/demand happen that "call" for a change in prices, people don't change prices, they just refuse to do business.



You're quite a ways away from this stage, so far you haven't even bothered to try and publicly identify just what all the variables are.



I think it's time for you to come up with some actual reasons as to just why what I'm saying is somehow incorrect.

There is really no way to get all the variables unless you do the experiment.

You just proved my point... we need to get higher lvls without grinding so much. A lot of people are turned off because you can't get past lvl 40-50 (phys, mag, wis) without grinding for months maybe even years. that is boring. Plus the only way to do that is find/buy maps which takes so much damn time. It would be nice to have better monsters that you don't have to buy or find.

Do you see me griping about differnce in lvls... no i just think it shouldn't take years. My phys lvl is 21 and will probably stay there because I HATE MAPS
