High levels will not like this post because it doesn't satisfy them. Just an idea to implant in your minds.

High levels are making alts and giving them full frozen. So basically, their alts are giving em to their alts alts and their alts too. That was a joke to someone but I meant it too.

Now saying you have to but I would say the low levels should have a right to them first....sounds selfish I know. But main problem with people who NEED NEED them for a good growth do not have many because you guys keeps using for yourself. I guess this isn't a solution just a complaint. Because who would give away frost orbs if their alts alt needed it?

Yeah, some people get like 50 orbs and dump them on alts. :|

You can buy orbs from me when i have, it took about month+ with friends help to get frozen, lets not blame nobody, unfurtunally ppl demand and boss suply in this game doesnt match so its hard for everyone

Orbs need to be sold to other players if you don't need them. If there are many, then the price should lower (or if you're feeling particularly nice, for free ).

The fact is, you are just widening the gap between the high levels and low levels if you hoard things.

This is not a player problem. Lower levels should be able to get frost orbs with reasonable effort and higher levels should also be able to outfit Alts.

This is a game problem.

Solution? Well one would an automatic script run (nightly, weekly?) that would compare character levels, number of crests, number of orbs and pieces of Frozen. This is not complicated stuff.

Then every so often (weekly, monthly?) loot tables could be adjusted so that if red crests are needed more drop or if orbs are rare more of those drop etc. As numbers increased (identified by later script outputs) the loot tables could be adjusted again.

This could and should be automated. It's not rocket science.

And it ISN'T about making everything easier. It's just smoothing and averaging out the quest resources.

Something like this will be even more needed if player numbers increase in total (given fixed numbers of some quest mobs). It would also be good game design for temporary bottlenecks in quests, temporary as in many months, that can happen every so often.

Why the orb drought now? As Chels mentioned lots of Alts plus people levelling on Ymir instead of in OW plus maybe a spike in new players a few months ago all now getting to the orb level.

Of course some higher player will now comment "I did it so everyone else can too, only takes effort" but this will ignore the shifting nature of MMO resources.

I like your idea of a code - it may be possible once the new build is released later on after this next expansion. I will bring it up.

Orbs aren't rare. Just more people playing and some willing to pay higher than others. Or some are better friends.
