Russian Garena User Account Migration

And this, or migrate them on a different server and make it a league option when you create a toon so they can keep playing there. they would have their own permanent standard/hardcore league. Thats the only possible solution that wouldn't end up in pissing off both playerbases. A lot of standard players will quit if their hard earned wealth is merged with a horde of botters. I mean 1000 alchs to 1 ex is so ridiculous... the botting must have been atrocious there.

I am suprised that GGG even considered that merge, let alone apparently going through with it.

Yea, if these rates are correct it seems quite suspicious indeed.

To make it clear, I have nothing against russian players in general and some of the racist comments make me rather sad - I have met some great russian or asian guys, and some unbelievably idiotic american or european guys here. Making such generalizations is always very dangerous.

For crying out loud. It's a video game. Their server got shutdown. It's only right to migrate their accounts to an online server. SPAM. Ruined economy. Give me a break.

There is already SPAM. If you can see it by having Global Chat on, that's your own fault. Turn it off. You don't need it on unless you have a specific reason to have it on. When the reason no longer exists, turn it back off.

Standard economy is already ruined due to the existence of approximately 3 and half years of items. A few more from another server are not going to make any difference.

Rip standard

Sorry Sir but you have clearly no idea what you are talking about. There are people that play standard/hardcore since closed beta. Of course a 1337 guy like you don't give a shit about these noobs but they spend a lot of time to collect their things and when this merge happens every single currency item besides ex are completely worthless. About 500 fus per ex means a 6L cost 3ex so these people do not only loose all their non ex currency the value of their 6Ls will drop a lot too. People were banned since day one for botting here while at garena EVERYTHING was about botting. No one with at least half a brain would try to defend this horrible idea. So the russian garena goes poof and therefore we fuck every single non russian player? Sounds legit! Sorry, I should have said: sounds ggg legit. The whole thing is a panic reaction because most of the vocal minority already left so they don't want to loose russia too but this shit will backfire beyond your wildest imagination!

My country's economy is already ruined,what more harm can inflation caused by 100 billion fake euros do?
Screw my country,nuke it from orbit.

Oh man, [Removed by Support] and move on to another game boiz.

Garena is about to hit the fan.

Russian garena? I believe, massive duped/hacked/botted whatever items will come too :/

I see already russian texts here that noone can understand except for russians. Just give them their own server and throw them all there.

Expecting most used words in POE will be Cyka i guess

Please stop your prejudices.
First of all - size of Garena CIS playersbase is so small that it's negligible even compared to russian playerbase on GGG servers not counting all international players.
Second - there are already large amount of russian players on GGG servers even if you do not realize that. Not every russian player is illiterate prick spamming chats with russian text for no reason (these 12 year olds or adults with 12 yo mentality usually only enjoy PvP focused games anyway). The fact that you're not aware how many russian players are now on GGG servers speaks for itself. Even players that don't speak english usually hang out in russian guilds or just with their friends and rarely if ever interact with other players. For example my friend when he started always asked me to translate skills, trade for him etc. Now he learned basics and can do everything himself and rarely asks for help. If I wasn't around he would've probably end up playing on Garena or not playing at all.
Third - few players that actually played on Garena are mostly casuals. More hardcore players either stopped playing or moved to GGG server (or never moved to Garena if they started playing before Garena was even an option) because economy on Garena is dead. Not because of bots or anything like that but because there just not enough players. Simple example - try to look for Shavronne's Wrappings on poep.ru (which is like poe.trade for Garena CIS) for Prophecy league. Right now only 1 online and if you include offline results - all results fit in a single page.
Fourth - even if there were bots and they run 24/7 since the release of Garena CIS servers - they will have negligible impact on standard economy. People that rule standard economy probably have more wealth than entire playerbase of Garena CIS servers combined. League end transfers to standard likely have more impact on economy.
And the last - if Brazillian Portuguese launch is any indication then russian players will have their own global and trade chats and will have to type "/global X en" to join english chat. If someone does that on purpose to spam chat - then he'll be muted.

People would be too annoyed by this and stop going to chat. Would you like to Mute 50 people everytime you go to the chat?

Every game, EVERY game (d2, d3, dota, cs, overwatch and many other games) i come to contact with russians and it ended up like cyka cyka, leave, spam, report
