zkey prices got screwed because of anet's careless programming not one time, but two times. aside from that the economy is already total shit. a bonus weekend where a bunch of silly trash drops certainly will not change a thing.

If Anet thinks that they're killing the economy, the easiest way would be to just make Zkeys untradable and undroppable in explorable areas. Problem mostly solved.
That said, I like the influx of money, even if hyperinflation and price devaluation (overfarming) are destroying any semblance of in game wealth we thought we had. Every time I get more free money, the closer I get to my FoW set. Yay for fixed costs.

Fenix... or somebody, can we just close this thread. I am seriously sick of the fact that there have been over 6 threads (here, in Q&A, in Sardelaic) in the last 2 days about people complaining about z-key prices.

The masses are starting to catch on to your get rich quick scheme, people are opening up multiple dummy accounts, and the demand for keys as more people get high levels of the title is going down.

Imo XTH should be removed, but Z keys should be worth more ( maybe 10k? )

then PvP'ers would have a way to make money easier

( and I obviously mean arena players)

to the OP:

learn the reason why the zkey price dropped before you complain about it. it was caused by double points for predictions 2 months in a row, not from double faction on the occasional weekend



aaand im sure people with multiple accounts dont help
