Metals don’t discourage you from the normal routes, remember that leveling up gives loot boxes. To maximize your chances you would need to do what you normally do to gain DP anyway because that also rewards XP, which helps you level up.
The reason why some people managed to get some good DP today or not is whether they trusted me (or just like shiny things) when I said that they will be useful in the future. Don’t forget that some people literally saved a bunch of them and only now cashed in everything.
I’ve also already stated that we are moving towards the end game of the DTP over the next long period where our precious stuff will be frozen. I’m hoping that during this time people will be able to max out on things like upgrades before we eventually start again in the new system.
As for whether the current prices are too high or low, it’s not easy to be sure yet since it has only just arrived, those who had a full inventory of metal items likely have none left, so we shall see how quickly and easily people obtain the higher price ones.
I thank you for your information. Now I fully understood what has happened. All “reports” about people getting suspiciously fast DP I have maybe sent I will revoke with this message.
