Is it only me thats dropping my jaw when I hear about people throwing stacks of meseta around because I have never had a stack of my own while things are selling for 2-4 stacks?

Just curious

I've made stacks from selling 1 thing, and I've also made stack(s) just by saving up. It's a difficult thing to do if you don't play religiously, or go hunting a lot, but you can do it if you look for the right rares. Also if you look ahead and know what to save/sell.

Psu-Pedia is your best friend for drops. :D

Personally though, I have never bought anything for over a stack. I think that is just a bit ridiculous. But that's just me. :\

Gachas are my money pit. I've made over 600mil from my Gachas. As for buying stuff over a stack, I bought my Dark Repca (7/10 at the time) for max meseta and my 46% 5/9 Ice Agito Repca(Now 9/9) for 300mil from a friend.

I really don't have Anything better to do with the 250mil I still have saved. So I'm waiting untill I find something else I can use it on.

I was never saying that I am poor, i always have at least 10-15 mil and the most I have had is like 50, but i was in my friends party the other day and he was like "yeah so i bought this weapon the other day for 3 stacks" and im just like =(

Sadly you just get shafted sometimes.

This game usually revolves around some random noob that has no idea what they are doing picking up that godly unit in Phantom Fissure and going "LOLWUT IS THIS FOR" and making enough money to buy anything the hell they want without any form of dedication whatsoever.

I have about 120mil over all my character (85mil or so on my main), but that's only because:
- I sell a lot
- I don't buy often

When I have most stuff I want, and there's very little I'd want to spend money on, it just stacks up...

To answer your question though, it's perfectly normal to have never had a stack, getting rich requires an amount of luck over anything else.

I've had 10 mil max. Most of the time, my meseta sits around 2 million. But, I play under 3 hours a week, so... :p

Rust
Jan 3, 2009, 12:44 PM
Never got a big amount of money, but seeing people dropping complete stacks doesn't make me drop my jaw either.

Meseta have barely any worth to me.
I sell stuff at very low prices, and only use my money to buy clothes/parts and restock on mates after a mission.

SStrikerR
Jan 3, 2009, 12:45 PM
The most I ever had was probably about 65 mil because I found a P.Wand board, but I traded it away for a few items I really wanted, including a grand cross. Which, sadly, is now worth shit >_>

So mark me as having 15m at the most.

darkante
Jan 3, 2009, 12:54 PM
At most i had 50 millions, but i usually waste it on something useless i could just go and hunt. And then i just repeat the cyckle... Lol yay for doing thing spontaneously.

Now iīm down to 20 mill. >.<
MUST TRY TO RESIST! XD

I rarely grind one mission to long before doing some random mission with crappy payot, but i got most of the things i want with some luck.

how did you get so many frags into your common box.

i think the mesata count is what everyone was looking at but i saw it. its impossible to put anymore than 99 frags in your common box.
if you done that then its possible that people could say you glitched your money.
dont get me wrong you probably got it legit like a lot of people. just pointing out frags aint your best friend :P

Send the stacks through the 'Delivery' option at the NPC shops in lobbies, and you'll be able to stock several of them in your box that way.

I've had a stack and a half. But yeah, it's hard to get that much, unless you get a really rare drop.

Or have a very awesome Gacha.

Those Gachas are the biggest scam ever. >_> Seriously, some people charge half a mil for one turn just to get a chance at a Rattlesnake or something. And most of the time, you never get it. It's ridiculous.

On topic, most I've had was umm...60ish mil I think. I've never had a stack or more ever...and I've been playing since '06.

Ezodagrom
Jan 3, 2009, 02:53 PM
The closest I got to a stack was like 70 or 80 mil, when I sold a red/force ^^.
But as soon as I sold it I bought some weapons and divided the remaining meseta for each char. Right now I have around 10 mil on each char ^^;.

BFGfreak
Jan 3, 2009, 03:17 PM
As for the gacha, you still need to find an item worth turning the thing for half a mil, and then pray that sega doesn't release a mission where said item drops like candy next week.

Sometimes, I feel like this game knows who's been playing for a long time and going to stay, and who just got the game and will be quitting next week, and then give all the rare items to the new guy who will lose interest in a month.

Shinko
Jan 3, 2009, 03:18 PM
Mm... Its not really that hard. Well at least for me. I just changed to the xbox side about 3 months ago and i have 2 stacks.

Its mostly cuz i don't buy stuff that often and sell things alot. Especailly things i don't need or have any interest in. I also focus on one character mainly too. IDK its just not that hard for me. Its used to be when I 1st started on ps2/pc side but i guess since i've goten the hang of things it's become fairly easy now.

Oh and as for the Gacha.... well i dont mess with that. Its all just a big scam and I don't like to scam others.... I'm a nice person XD

Cracka_J
Jan 3, 2009, 03:31 PM
I can't really say gacha is a scam. People know how many items it can store, and they can see what they're taking a chance on (albeit no grind/% info).

So I can't really hold a gacha owner responsible for other people playing their game. Just means they got stuff people want in the gacha. Hardly a scam.

Most of my friends on here know how much I've amassed through pwand sales, so I won't state any exact numbers, lol. I'm just gonna say it's pretty damn easy to make money in this game if you know where to solo.

Well yea im guess ur right about the person knew what he/she was getting into when they bought it but still.... idk i guess its just i don't like the fact that someone paying alot of money to just get junk..... i just won't do it. Just don't seem right to me XD. Plus i make alot of money fast without gacha anyway.

Let's not forget the huge influx of money created through the grinder glitch about a year ago. Some players created an insane amount of S+10s, and then a bunch of other players hoarded the S+10s when they bought them for under 1K a pop. All of them should have been banned for life in my opinion, but Sega decided to essentially give everyone a free pass.

That influx of money led to inflation on just about everything good, which in turn spread the money around a bit and ultimately has led to players valuing items at more than a stack of meseta. Even as a player that tries to stay as legit as possible, I've got about 80 million in the bank. I'll probably buy something before I get to a stack, though. Just keep playing, and pick up EVERYTHING (both green and red). If you leave stuff on the floor, you're missing your future fortune.

That's exactly how I feel. I never play gachas for that very reason. You can easily spend millions and not get anything worth a damn. If I wanted to gamble, I'd go to the casino. >_> As low as the odds seem to be of actually getting those items in a gacha are, at least make the price more affordable. But seriously, 500k a turn? And some are much higher than that.

As for making money, it's easy...if you get lucky and find enough really rare boards that are still worth something. Otherwise, you'll make enough money to get by, but you'll never have 3 or 4 stacks of meseta.

At least SEGA got out the ban hammer for couple of hundred of players, for the PS2 side, it seems to me everyone has forgotten the incident with selling scape dolls for max meseta glitch. You didn't even have to go through the trouble of stacking S+10s when you're duping RAW meseta.

That was the time where people didn't care for store prices, they saw an item they want, they dupe the meseta and buy from the shops regardless of price. I had some items for storage at max meseta, one day they were all gone I was like "wtf." Seriously if you were around during that time meseta aka haxesta was easy. All you had to do was save it all up.

Bottom line, PC/PS2 servers went from 4 full universes to max 4*s on Universe 2, and now, not even 4*.

The 360 side is still boasting a nice population, even newcomers, the other day I saw a FULL party of non AoI players on Moatoob.

For those who do not have over a stack, take the time to go level up your techs, bullets or photon arts, if you do so you're *unconsciously hunting for rares* eventually persistence will pull through and you will be rewarded. Just don't expect a psychowand [b] every time you see a board and you'll be fine.


Getting back topic, usually the people you hear spending stacks around for items are people who only play one character, amassed a decent pallete, and SELLS that pallete for maybe a stack or two when they decide to change classes, then spend it ALL on a new pallete of roughly the same value. The REAL rich people are the ones who's amassed not only one but 4 characters of beefed up pallets while still making money on top of all that. These are the people who have enough meseta to feed their OCD urge. IE: Getting every PS0 replica weapon at 25% 9/9 just for the hell of it, and spends quiet the penny while purchasing them in no regards for future use or resell, just to have it.

mvffin
Jan 3, 2009, 05:00 PM
most I've ever had is 2 stacks, and that was from selling a Spread Needle/G I had. I spend money too fast to stack it up, I usually save up just enough for what I want, and then spend it all. Lately i've been staying broke from buying Gekitsnata boards and having them come out crappy %.

Jan 3, 2009, 06:55 PM
Most of the people on the PC/PS2 servers that have lots of meseta stacks have exploited hacks/glitches and haven't been caught. This is more for older players, since newer players weren't around for haxeta. ST didn't swipe most of it away, I can name 5 handfuls of people who still have their haxeta, and I don't even know many players.

Honestly, if I had been on the haxeta bandwagon, I would have had a huuuuge boost right now.

The other half are just lucky. Hunt Pwand or Agito Repca.

DarkEliteRico
Jan 3, 2009, 08:31 PM
Most I've had at one time was 2.5 stacks, not i'm down to roughly 32 mill. Buying and selling are not one of my strong points, neither has saving. I'm always hunting when I'm on but they USUALLY don't pan out for me. I get shafted more then I'd like to admit.

Its no telling how much mesta I had over the time period I been playing this game but I atleast have about 60mil+ in storage at all time. Its easy for me to save up because I only play with only one character and she a WT always and don't make weapons. Only armor and thats rarely so I sell all that I find. But I never paid for nothing in this game that was a stack or more because I only consider afew items even worth that much like Amore Tip.

I remembering having alot of money during 1up.
That was the time everybody had tons of materials, and rare boards just started dropping.
Tons of synths, and items were still worth something.
You pulled a (let's say) 36% Sweet Death? You just sold it for 30M!
That was the only time I would have had a stack, if I saved up only a little bit.

I also only had one character back then. That helps alot, too.
Especially if you are a pure fighter/ranger/force class.
You can sell off all things you do not need like that.
Today I play FM, FG, AT and PT. I need every kind of weapon/armor now, and cannot just sell it like back than....
The drop adjustment and the rare missions do not make this any better.

Back then: You got various thigns and sold them for a reasonable price.
Today: Be uber lucky and find one of the few rare items being left in PSU, and sell it for a HUGE amount of money.

N2TrAnC3
Jan 5, 2009, 02:59 AM
All it takes these days is one lucky synth.... Get 50% in some form of a desired item and voila! Theres a stack or two or three. A few days go I pulled a 50% Light Gekitsnata and within a few hours it was sold for 175 million. If you re trying to make money in synthing make sure you follow the market and know where/what the majority of the community is playing. I wont go into how much meseta I have but I feel broke if I have less than a stack. You never know when you will see a deal of a lifetime for a stack in player shops, so I try to keep a stack in my common box at all times. A few months back I saw an SNG 8/8 for a stack and I kick myself everyday for not having money at the time to buy it. Id say the majority of players biggest problem is impulse purchases, buying stuff you dont need. Items like synthesis materials, and weapon boards. Farm them, and save your money!!

Cracka_J
Jan 5, 2009, 09:13 AM
I think that the big lesson though, is that money can always be earned.

Like people have said, all it really takes is one in-demand find, or one hi-% synth, and you can have all the cash you want. Uber-rare items/units, or high grinded superweapons (as were starting to see more of with this 2nd grind bonus), are likely a once in a PSU experience. Hi %/Grind melee weapons require both the pulling of a hi %, and the luck of obtaining a high grind. If you have one of these and sell it just to obtain cash, you will likely not be able to obtain the item again in the future.

So while I USED to believe that meseta was the constant, never changing sinkhole that you should be investing unwanted rares into, there are just some rares circulating these days that are more valuable then any amount of money, imo.

Like I said, you can always find meseta. Finding or trading for that 1 weapon/armor/unit may be a once in a lifetime deal. It's all just fake numbers anyway. Whether you have 1 meseta or 800 million, it all disappears when the servers get shut down. Might as well have fun with it :)

I tend to be dirty when it comes to selling stuff. I have like 99 Goldanias and when prices for them raise, I tend to throw some of mines in my shop. And I basically do this for most of my items. Everyone under me has at least 99mil doing this.

I did buy a Psycho 0/10 recently for 65mil, only to sell my 7/7 one for roughly the same price :P .

garjian
Jan 5, 2009, 03:24 PM
ive come close to a stack before... my strategy is buying popular items cheap when the population is low, selling them high when the americans get on.

btw... how exactly do you make money with a gacha? buy the cheapest 3 repcas you can find, and say its 7/10 32%... then fill your gacha full of the stacks and stacks of grinder base c you made back in the days of hsm c until the gacha is full with stacks of 99?

ive never been able to fathom it... how do you advertise it properly? and how do you make people believe that rattlesnac is geniunly 10/10?

I don't have that much luck when it comes to accumulating alot of money. The most I ever made was 3million during Mag 1 and 2. Events are the only way to make alot though unless you have a lot of spare time, shop or gacha machine.

Jan 5, 2009, 04:22 PM
I just tell people this when they need money:

Sell Grinder Base S's - on the PC / PS2 servers, they're going for 200-300k a unit. They drop pretty decently from the GBR missions going on now, and you can trade in copernia and olpad for them, too. I actually just took all my copernia and olpad, traded them in for bases, and sold 28 of them at 250k each for a cool 7 million. Nothing to brag about when people are selling things for easily 2 or 3 million for a "cheap" item of its sort, but for a guy who doesn't have hours upon hours upon hours to pour into the game and has yet to reach a cap when it was a cap since the game came out, it's not too shabby.

As for items selling for multiple stacks of money, do you really need that much money to throw around? At some point, they should play Uncle Pennybags, stand in a lobby somewhere, and give everyone who comes through after clearing a mission 200 meseta for "passing Go."

And the gatcha thing - all I have to say about them is this:

Heh, meseta is quite easy to earn in this game...once you figured out how how to play the player shops, it's like a game within PSU itself.

I made about 60mil in one day when I finally gave up hunting my first Pwand and just decided to buy one instead some time ago. Trying to hunt to that one Agito Repca or whatever and hoping to cash big is kind of a waste imo, while it can work...most will never cash big like that and there are much faster ways to get meseta fast without glitching/ebay/etc.

We got hacked, but I don't think the PC/PS2 Servers ever got hit by the S+10 exploit

You did- it wasn't as prevalent as on Xbox, but there were PC/PS2 players that were banned for S+10 duplication.

Jose!

Oh. Never knew that. Thought it was only a 360 exploit.

Sadly, a stack of meseta is nothing in this game anymore. Now because of the s+10's, people have BILLIONS. Others have an account full of meseta and thousands of s+10's still sitting in gachas waiting to be sold for stacks upon stacks more. You can thank Sega for not doing a rollback the one time they shouldv'e. Even just a couple months ago, people were getting their accounts unbanned with thousands of s+10's waiting for them. So just look at it this way, one guy gets his account back with 2,000 s+10's and he magically has 2 billion meseta to his name. Pretty awesome huh?

I've been playing for over two years, and I think I'd definitely have that kind of cash if I was as cheap and smart about my finances back then as I am now. There's really nothing I want these days, so my money has accumulated to over one stack. It just took a few good investments to get that too. So no, it doesn't amaze me.

Let's not forget the huge influx of money created through the grinder glitch about a year ago. Some players created an insane amount of S+10s, and then a bunch of other players hoarded the S+10s when they bought them for under 1K a pop. All of them should have been banned for life in my opinion, but Sega decided to essentially give everyone a free pass.

That influx of money led to inflation on just about everything good, which in turn spread the money around a bit and ultimately has led to players valuing items at more than a stack of meseta. Even as a player that tries to stay as legit as possible, I've got about 80 million in the bank. I'll probably buy something before I get to a stack, though. Just keep playing, and pick up EVERYTHING (both green and red). If you leave stuff on the floor, you're missing your future fortune.

I totally agree with this. Just because some people have multiple stacks doesn't mean squat to me. Some people have cheated/scammed or bought Meseta. These guys are no better than the population on PSO that used to run around with duped J Swords and BKBs.

You can easily make over a mil on either server by just doing a couple hours of White Beast. There is always something you can invest a million in to turn it into more money. If you have been playing this game for even more than a few months, and you have never had at least a stack, with the way the economy is now, stop complaining about it. It's not hard to learn what things sell for what, or how to resell. If you really cant make any money than you are just bad with money, its not about luck at all, its about you wasting the money you find on senseless crap instead of investing it to make more money.

All the people that I know on 360 that have multiple stacks to constantly spend are either A. always grinding something for a profit or B. spending just as much time shopping around as they spend doing runs.

I stopped reading at that point, I knew it wouldn't be worth it.

The difference with what you said is: I got the game 2 months after it came out, not 2 months ago, and I wasnt complaining at all.

And I am gonna clear this up too, I have lots of things that I could sell for over a stack, I just never have. What astonishes me is what people have been saying, that some things that cost a stack are considered a steal.

You know how people have stacks?

Scenario:

So I was in a party today, and an ex-hacker was in my party. Apparently she quit in December 2006. She renewed 2 weeks ago. She still has all her money.

I'm just going to say at the whole gacha discussion, right now.

I only wasted 10k and I got a Solid / Knight out of a Gacha. =D (Ain't I special guys?)

And, stacks, wait what?
Stacks are 100million, correct?
Excuse my ignorance, but can you even TRADE that much?
I see you guys selling stuff for like 300million, it confuzzles me.
Last time I checked the max in a shop was 99million, and in your box/bot too. (Besides that delivery trick.)

Invest it into charity.
Brag.
Give it to friends.
Drop it on the floor.
Buy stuff constantly.
Just have it for a rainy day. (Rainy day on PSU, lol....)

Same.
Actually, just last week or so, a random dude walked up to a friend and me and gave us four million for no reason what so ever.
He must've been pretty bored.
Or selfless.

I'm going with more of the bored part.

I saved my money for years and I have only updated my main's pallete twice once during 1up Cup and just recently during the Parum GBR.
The rest of the stuff I have is ridiculously old, like my Ulteri 10/10 that I've had since Seabed runs was retired yesterday (but will never be sold)
