Tera Online "Cash for Gold" System

I am really worried about the chronoscrolls idea.
I understand that gold farmers are a huge problem on online games, however one of the reasons why pay to play games will always be better than free to play, is because there is no micro transactions which can be sold in game.

What the chronoscrolls will do will open this up, what is to stop someone buying 20 chronoscrolls, selling them all in game and then buying all the best stuff they can get? it spoils the game for players who spend hours earning what they have.

Implementing this will make it so £ is power (I say £ as it is my currency) and could potentially destroy a huge part of it's community.

You completely misunderstood what I meant.
They sell untradeable items in which cannot be used for a gain in personal wealth, what I am concerned about is how these Chronoscrolls will be sellable making it so people can just buy Chronoscrolls, sell them in game, and become very powerful with little to no effort.
Diablo 3 Auction house has already been spoken against and is a typical Blizzard easy money option for them.
The point is, these Chronoscrolls will make it so someone could spend months of gameplay working towards in game wealth and strength, but the person who just buys and selling Chronoscrolls will always be ahead just because they spend more real money into the game, it makes it so real money is power, and skill means nothing compared to equipment, as when the game economics becomes more fluid with money things become more expensive ruining it for players who do not spend real money except for their subscription.

I don't know if you know, but the PLEX system in EvE nearly annihilated goldselling, up to the point you'd either bot or buy PLEX to get easy 'gold' in EvE.

Many people want to have this easy way to gold and if they know they have a legit way to get it, a lot of them will take this way rather than getting it illegally.

Sure, it needs a bit of foundation, but once in correctly in place, there's little to no profit for gold sellers.

However, I sort of share the vision of Kracen.
It works in EvE, because you NEED a constant cash flow. If your ship gets destroyed you need to buy a new ship and new modules. This means if you PvP, you will lose A LOT.
I don't see TERA doing this, that when you die, you'd need to rebuy your gear.

Still, gold only can buy so much. If it'll be like WoW, gold won't be able to buy you the best gear.

Many Peopel think after they read that wall of text that Bluehole or Frogster want to do about this problem but thats ''WRONG'' becasue they know they cant do much !

The only Reason for this Cronoscroll is to make more MONEY ! That scroll was only created to make a Soft start of a Cash shop !

This Crono Scroll will ''SUPPORT'' Goldsellers

here an exampel :

Goldseller sells 1000gold for 5$

the Cronoscroll for ingame sell is worth around 300g

So what what do you think will many ppl do ????????????

Right, Many Peopel will start Buying Gold from Goldsellers to buy there Ingame Time why should Peopel pay 15$ for 1 month when they can get 3 Month for 5$ ?!

these numbers are all random but im sure it will end like this.

Iam not a Fanboy of a other game i only say this because i know Frogster to good the only thing they are interested is you money and peopel are worthless for them, dont believe what they say and learn to read between the lines!

Actually, in TERA PvP servers if you PK and die you'll lose gear.

But they might westernize that shit too, IDK.
