New ways of getting mesos in to the game and a more safe trading system.
New ways of getting mesos in to the game:
While playing the game people start to hit some problems considering the mesos that are available in the game. This problem started since the starforce cap got raised to a max of 25 stars for some items.
Getting a lv150 item up to 22 star can easy take 30billion of mesos, in special of you destroy it a few times and the new buy price for the equipment is 5billion mesos (or even more).
In my opinion the biggest problem starts at the market / trading system. Selling items nowadays with in special a value above the 30billion mesos is close to impossible since there are close to no players with that amount of mesos left.
People still want to buy the items but simply can’t pay the price in mesos, here it starts to go wrong.
To name a thing, I got several items on sale with a product price that’s above the 100billion mesos for each equipment. Now that people can’t pay with mesos they start to offer illegal ways to get the item such as Nexon codes or PayPal transactions. In my case 9 out of 10 times that people are interested in a equipment they want to buy it in an illegal way, this is not because they want to pass the rules but because there is simply no longer a reasonable way to get such amount of mesos legit.
I do have a solution for this problem and that solution is rather easy to fit in to the game.
As long as I can remember there are meso bags buyable in the CashShop but those are extremely outdated right now. A good change to the game could be that the mesos obtainable from the Unique Meso Sack gets raised to 1,2billion mesos with a small change to get up to 2billion mesos.

The best possible meso sack that is buyable is the Unique Meso Sack and cost 3k Nexon and gives 6million mesos with a small change to get up to 750million mesos, from experience in the past I know that you close to never will get above the 100million mesos out of it, this while 1k Nexon got a value that’s laying around the 500million mesos according to the Meso Market trading system (atleast in the Luna server that I’m playing) so 3k Nexon will sell there for around 1,5billion mesos. This is around 15 times higher than getting mesos from the Unique Meso Sack.
This change would bring the market back to live and also will probably stop people from using illegal trading methods, I’ve been banned for this in the past and I don’t want it to happen again but I can understand the fact that people are going for the illegal options since a legal trade has become almost impossible.
Side note:
Meso farming outside Reboot is simply not an option. I did test it myself in Arcana: Cavern Lower Path (probably the best meso farming map), I’m maining a NightLord that 1 hit kills all mobs, used a Frenzy totem, 3 pets with auto pet loot and no meso drop gear for my test. In 5 minutes I could pick up roughly 2million mesos, for 1 hour grinding this would mean 24million mesos.

2- A more safe trading system:
The meso cap in the game is not so long ago expended to 30billion mesos. This was a good start but its still by far not enough to make a safe trade for more expensive items possible. With the arrival of Umbra equipment’s and more people getting 15 star tyrants single items with a value above the 300billion mesos isn’t that rare. At the moment there are 10 trades needed to get such amount of mesos transferred from 1 player to another, this brings high risks for the buyer and also the seller.
Raising the meso cap for inventory’s and everything might be a hard job to for fill in. A much easier solution could be the possibility to exchange mesos for tradable meso bags that fits in the Use Item Inventory. For example if those bags would cost 1billion mesos to buy and can be traded back for 1billion mesos and could stack up to 100 per inventory space all trades could be done at once and instantly remove the risks to get scammed on trades that consider large amounts of mesos.
Just as in the auction house this mesos bag could get a 3% transaction fee as people want to trade the bag back for real mesos. This would make it 970million mesos after using the bag.
Sorry for the long letter but I hope that it can work as inspiration and can start a movement.
