Just thought you’d like to know what Marco said about the loot that we think is weird.
To repeat an old phrase - the PE economy is dynamic. Sometimes out-of-the-ordinary things happen. One things to remember is that in the dynamic economy various things influence it. The number of PE participants have risen a lot the last few months. This is of course very re-assuring. Also, in VU times there is a lot going on - also things out of the ordinary occur. VU’s are like that.
So far, no bugs have been discovered in the loot system post VU 7.1.
As to the shortsighted remarks about MindArk’s “ambition” to ruin PE, I still find it amusing. Why? Because it is just a ridiculous remark. MA is determined to move PE forward for years, hell, even decades, to come. That is done by long term commitment. That requires mutual respect between all of us, and MA would be really stupid to try to squeeze out some short term profits when we are in it for the long term. PE is a work in progress, and it always will be - the community input is very important, even if I don’t spend all my time responding to every notion, idea or comment, I do read most of it, and convey information back to the creative team (which I myself is a part of), where it is analyzed and prioritized. Right now we are focusing on fixing old bugs and issues, and then we have a ton of content waiting about. We already have two teams working with development and a third is being recruited, to step up the pace of additions. I have been with PE for three years now, and I intend to stay a lot longer. PE is the greatest experience in my life, and the project is probably the most exciting I will ever be a part of. Because we are making history - you and us, together.
Happy hunting!

When talking with people they are dead sure its supposed to be that their 10k valued item will remain so, or only become more expensive. Actually any item with high tt+ value is a big risk. Many players dont accept it as a risk and therefore anything could endanger that items tt+ value is seen as “MA’s fault/error/unfairness” etc.
Kind of like real life. Some company finds a massive oil and the prices drops. Some country starts a war and the prices goes up.
I like my PE experience beacuse it keep’s changing. Get bored sometimes, wait a while, browse some forums, and in a week or perhaps a day, something interesting pops up and it’s fun again.
great post marco! I agreee things need to be shaken up a bit definately but just crazy when lil snables start dropping one of the best weapons in the game
[QUOTE=Dash Smashing]
i think this post is especially funny now.
how many imp 2780’s dropped from bugged snables yesterday?
i would SURELY consider that a bug marco.
[/QUOTE]
I doubt its a bug in its proper meaning (bug ~ programming error in software).
It doesnt even have to be any error in configuration or settings either. People accept that 2-3 high tt-valued shadow parts can drop during 24 hours once per a month or two. Is it really impossible that 10 low tt-valued im2870s drop in 24hours?
Ppl always complain about MA’s informing but time to time the informing and dealing of matters inside player community sucks like nothing else.
well this is what i think. Say every 100,000 snable drops a Imp pistol.
One guy goes and loots one post an EP and brags to everyone in town.
then 100 people go and start killing snables like crazy and next thing you know snables are dropping like 1,000,000 a day and you got 10 imp pistols droped.
*numbers do not expresse any sort of stat or acuracy dont take them literaly *
My mind is different & so i keep cool & see how manny of the imput wil come true.
One point.
Marco is one of the best writers i know & you wil have a very low chance to give him a critical replay. I gues he write his posts in the 3 days before posting & show them in the team-meeting before he shoot it out on a board
