I've considered this myself pertaining to sup monk runes. For the past week, 'oh just ran out.' well then quit showing me that you have them. how can there possibly be that many people buying that many runes? every 10 seconds of every hour of every day?

agreed. its the golden rule in effect and its not good for the game.

It's not a particularly good 'fix' if it's going to take weeks to have an effect, is it ? All I have noticed is that the rich are richer and a bunch of people who just happened to be online at the time have joined them...

Maybe a point. But by no means the game. They made a step in the right direction with the economy - not the biggest issue. We'll give them the match when imbalances are fixed, and when faction unlocks are viable (eg: 8x faster).

Does anyone know if this update was the cause of the lag I've been experiencing lately? I've checked every possibility I could think of but came up short .

no not 4x 8x or 16 x

you are forgetting one flat statement they made (besides no UAS NOW) which is their goal is to MATCH the amount of time it takes to get everything the way you choose.

it is an ALTERNATE method NOT a faster method doing what you want to do anyway

as close as they can get it the time spent unlocking will be IDENTICAL for PVE/PVP

they have said pvp will not be an express lane for unlocks to the country road of PVE

if you are getting expectations up for a exponential bump in faction you are setting yourselves up for disappointment

just my opinion but they did state the same rate for both

So is that being rated for people who are rushed through the game and aquire skill points, or is it being rated for people who walk through the game for the first time?

If its the latter then pve will always be many times faster to unlock skills than pvp. I still find wheel's ~37 multiplier to be the most telling for how out of line the faction gain is.
