The Great Romanian Folder Famine of 2014

next time, boss health is gonna increase for sure...........

It was decreased so that wouldn't surprise us; give us a week at least to get folders and it'll be fine.

Gree, please make more folders easily available. By releasing the RB directly after WD, factions did not have a sufficient opportunity to collect folders. Now, factions are unable to complete the goals and the collect-18 individual prize is also near unattainable.

The only way left to obtain folders aside from farming a few here and there through the ltq is to turn to the black market. Please help us out Gree--throw us a bone!

Noticed this as well, seems to be really bad planning on Gree's part or are they really trying to triple dip players who buy gold. If so that is not good.

an extra day or two in advance would have been nice, for sure. It's a challenge but a very doable one at least. We couldn't all get folders in advance of the event, for sure, but with three full days still left, plenty of time to farm.

I only disagree with you on one thing. The complaining still wouldn't stop, haha

Totally depends on faction size, stats and commitment, Gree most certainly cut the folder drop rate because they are trying to squeeze ever last buck out of those players who are still spending.

A bad plan since that just makes those moderate spenders say screw this. Besides if whoever planned this event had thought it through better they would have realized that a good supply of folders is a much better incentive for factions to shoot for these goals since many would still need to spend gold instead since they don't have the folders there is decreased incentive to try since Gree hits you up to buy, folders, or use energy refills to do missions, and then health regens to kill the bosses.

The other problem is that the beta testing group is now so far ahead of the rest of the player population that data collected from them doesn't reflect a broad enough spectrum of end users and those posting about those complaining are also out of touch with the mass exodus of factions and players.

Great point on that: the beta testers (from who I know) all tend to be long term players at the very high end of the playing spectrum. It would benefit gree to expand the population a bit, for sure.

And yes, it depends on faction size, commitment, etc of your faction. Nice thing is though that is not dependent on stats; more dependent on pure effort. I set up a new account when folders started dropping and have farmed nearly 700. New account, no regen bonus.

I recorded 100 hits and have not seen a change in folder drop rate, fwiw.
