The equipment difference between alts and newbies just got even bigger. Are you replacing ingots with anything? A few half decent weapons or armor parts perhaps?

Not what I meant at all, I know very well how to acquire creditsThough it might mislead people into mistaking that now they can't acquire money at all
But if you see how poorly equipped some new people are, because they can't afford proper gear with easy ingots....
"So learn how to make credits"... hah, optimist
Ah well I suppose we'll be teaching our newbies how to blitz again
Waaaaaay overdue but thank you. Ingots supplied a small part of my income but my main source of revenue was from old fashioned blitzing, so the you 200+ people are all rich flames do not bother me.

To do this right, everyone should have access to buy and sell in player owned stores. Just removing ingots without giving non guilded and non AI players an alternative, is not going to be good for the game.
Plus it always takes a crazy amount of time for prices to re-adjust so game is going to be crap for a long while.
Not that I ever made much out of ingots directly anyway, but I hope people still keep buying the things I sell, rather than sit on their hoards; otherwise I'm going to be stuck again. Similar concern....
Overall though probably the right thing to do.
ewwww.... sounds like ppl think ingots is the only way to earn credz... what about mission loot, dynas, tradeskilling, blitzin, tokenguns..... YEAH i mean WORK!!!!! forget ignots, u can earn MUCH more by doing normal work that dont destroy the fun for ppl, but rather help ppl

Ingots were the most simple way of earning credits, since you did not have to sell to other players, just feed merchants and get a very good return on investement. Of course this was abused by pro credit farmers.
Thinking that prices will suddenly drop because of this is just a dream, there are billions of credits in the game and people have a lot of problems in lowering prices. In EQ 2 prices went through the roof during a dupe bug, dupe is gone, crdits have been removed, prices are still as high as they were and the dupe was 3 months ago.
We need a global market, everyone should have access to player run stores, player city shops should have booths reserved to rent to non guilded, non AI people, getting all the objects lying in banks on the market and making them available to ALL players will settle prices to a better market value.
OMG, Finally. Thank you FunCom
Good move, Funcom! Maybe it's not the best possible solution, but definitely an improvement.

Look at your post, now back at mine. Now back to your post, now back at mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through posts, reading the posts your posts could look like. Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again, my reply is now diamonds. Anything is possible when you think before you post.
Removing the ingots will help probably with the farming problem, but on a side note FC just made the farmers more RL money. The farmers will now horde their credits from ingot sales untill after the removal of ingots. Now that credits are worth more they can go to ebay and sell the same credits for X amount more than they did before. It might deflate the AO economy but for the ingot farmers that planned ahead its going to put alot of money in their pockets.
