You know I wouldn't be surprised. If I was them and wanted to screw over gala, the best way to do it would be to raise the penya/gp ratio so high no one in game could afford it, it would basically kill the cash shop.

That actually wouldn't work, since it'd tempt a lot of CS users into buying CS to get penya, or push some people into buying it from the CS themselves due to lack of penya/high prices for CS stuff.
GP prices rising at the beginning of a new version is nothing new. V12 brought alot of awakening possibilities, so basically reversions are the only reason for which the prices have changed.
Sinner, things like this happened countless times, and it never caused anyone to stop buying GP. Besides, no GP = No game whatsoever.

Well each new version GP go up by 2m max and it restores pretty fast. It went up by 6m+ on Aibatt.
Anyways if TD wants to fuck galanet they are doing it wrong cause they are screwing over the players
and a lot of people buying spro to upgrade their weaps from event, gpros for piercing the new weaps....
The question- is will the fact that there are taxes take alot of money out of game or just give it to a few people who have nothing to do beside buying gpots via penya and rise prices even more.

It makes an impact o.o
Let's say TD makes a vagrant on Aibbat and buy all the CS items around then prices would go up 'cause the cs items are in demand, but they don't know it's TD buying it so, players will start shouting buying [insert cs item here]
for a higher price.Now CS users have the penyas and the CS items available
It's like saying, TD is the Dictator and CS users Presidents!
What can't Dictators do? but I'm sure TD could just take down the CS site

Yeah, the raise is ridiculous. Of course Gpotato prices will go up each version, it's solid proof how huge the additions of each version increase the need for Gpotato in-game.
However, apparently Gala has no clue what it's doing. The prices are so high right now that soon enough, like others say, normal players won't be able to afford them at all. Which will either encourage them to buy Gpotato themselves or to quit. IMO, it will moreso encourage them to quit.
Also, as Gpotato prices rise, the ability to make efficient money through in-game means will gradually get less effective. Which will mean that the only way people will be able to get items to make their stuff better is to buy Gpotatoes themselves, because getting money through in-game means will not provide enough to buy Gpotatoes from Gpot sellers. Just like some predicted, soon the game will only be inhabited by either people who haven't realized the need for Gpots, who just want to talk and mess around, and people who regularly buy Gpotatoes. When this realization finally (why it hasn't hit them yet is...baffling) hits Aeon and Gala, they can either make the game P2P (which will mean they are going to have to do MANY things to the game to make it worth forcing people to pay) or they are going to need to implement more means in-game to make money, or lower the price of Gpotatoes by buying them with real money (which is really only temporary).
Future of Flyff isn't looking promising atm, to me. >_<

Me and my friends noticed that too.
No, can't be only the v12. Prices were rising already before it. On lawolf were already rising on the 10-11 (which was high already, the price was 8/100 for a long time), v12 brought'em almost at 15.
What is fishy here is that I am noticing lots of people which was poor hanging around with +10 sets, ultimate weapons and so on.I smell some sort of penya hack. But that is just my opinion.
I also heard about people having GM status. So if someone did he could really fuck up economy instead of just making his own items he makes perins and buys everything in town etc.

I wouldn't be surprised. The GMs as of late are retarded idiots, who treat people like crap and don't seem to have much sense of the game or fairness. They obviously have no comtempt for the well-being of the game. >_>
