ok, I could stand the insane and unreasonable prices when judging gold was availible and any time for the mere investment of your hard work, but those days are gone. unless I am very much mistaken, there is no way of personally obtaining Gold this reset except through countries. I'd be happy not to judge, but my past experiences with countries don't leave much hope of very much Gold in any amount of time. do we really need such high prices for the items and still require cards? I certainly don't think so.

and futhermore, while I didn't like the promotion bosses very much myself, requiring no less than 5000 G on top of a Platinum Card is totally insane!

so basically, unless country funds have been increased by a matter of at least 10x, I don't see a whole lot of upper level buying being possible. that's going to be a rather unconvient sticking point if this reset is to have any chance of success. I'd recommend abolishing the cards altogether right now for starters and reassessing all prices somehow so obtaining high level weapons and promotion items is at least remotely feasible, which might I stress, is not the current situation.

sorry for the rant, but this really needs attention and the earlier, the better

There's this thing called Judge Awards, given to the country that has judged the most battles during the week. That gives a huge bonus to either EXP or the country's vault.

I do agree though, the prices are a bit high. :/

You know what would be neat?

You can buy what weapons you want, and gold's pretty readily available. However, get points assigned to each weapon based on usefulness, power, etc, and limit how many 'weapon points' each character could carry into battle. So you wouldn't have each character coming into battle with a brave, silver, killer, and S rank weapon and projectile weapon.

I doubt it'd be that easy to actually do well, especially with type-effective weapons, triangle reversals, range magic, and staves (hard to judge usefulness). Just throwing it out there anyways.

The promotion boss requires $$ to fight? I think one of the old systems created a cost after the first loss, I like that better.

still an extra 2000 G a week, and that more likely than not going to 1 or 2 of the same countries repeatedly isn't going to solve a universal problem like this

I rather like the point idea

at least you didn't need expesive cards for the boss

2000 gold a week is nothing.

Sounds like an interesting system Bucket, but then you got the country vault being another problem.

I remember that boss, just not sure what was the point of the boss, 'sides exp.

NPCs are going to be out some time soon. You can get gold and other prizes from them.

Plus, people are generally poor money managers so bleh.
