Auto water gathering was introduced yesterday (along with auto shoveling), did you mean that workers can now gather water (they can :P)?Destabilizatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618175514930441531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-394613682665013082016-07-06T17:21:53.927+02:002016-07-06T17:21:53.927+02:00@dobablo: it's worse than that.

(Of course the merchant and the red lamp house owner will be more rich than the average miner).<br /><br />Here the miner income is artificially limited. If you hit a gold vein, the government says you can only sell it for peanuts.Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-58438322462629540042016-07-06T11:07:30.905+02:002016-07-06T11:07:30.905+02:00That is not an early adopter issue punishing the i...That is not an early adopter issue punishing the innovator. It is a market-shock issue. In this case, the supply of older resources has gone down because players are focused on the new content but demand has not dropped because, unlike WoW, BDO materials continue to be useful into the next patch.<br />The closest real world equivalent would be a gold rush. Everyone has rushed off to exploit in the new content. There is an oversupply of innovators and risk takers! Players are doing it free because it is new content. The people that really get rich were the merchants selling good old shovels and moonshine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-68282741639807991422016-07-06T07:24:27.856+02:002016-07-06T07:24:27.856+02:00Ironically, what the people with new ideas and tec...Ironically, what the people with new ideas and tech usually need most is government subsidies, just ask Elon Musk, who now wants to remove them for other people.<br /><br />Subsidies for new tech allows them to take the risk and enter a market dominated by large established players.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
