SeanIsFail Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 Apparently I need to reword this my suggestion here is to implement a different way for how to put this the currency or w/e to be run because right now everything is being run by coupons which people can purchase with real money which means more coupons are coming in then going out thus causing inflation.

Ophelia Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 Stating, " Something needs to be done. " isn't going to wave a magic wand and magically fix the server. Any details, real suggestions, etc.? Exactly. This isn't a proper suggestion because you are not suggesting anything.
Genesis Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 It's a free market economy the consumers control the price of items; if you want to make MvP Cards cost less the solution is simple. Say Player A is selling a Maya Card for 70 coupons but Player B is selling a Maya Card for 35 coupons. Consumers would go with Player B simply because they could get it cheater; thus Player B's maya has higher demand; Player B hunts more Cards and continues this cycle. Player A will be FORCED to lower his prices or he will go out of business ( or have a hard time selling it seeing as you can get the same product ( card ) cheaper )
SeanIsFail Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Posted May 26, 2009 This isn't much of a suggestion, is it? Lol lets see if I can get all of these. In a way this is a suggestion in that this server is losing buisness due to the economy being so haywire thus meaning implement a new way for the server to handle things @Genesis I understand that completely, but you have to consider the person B sells his card for 35 coupons great your helping lower the price, but as soon as that one price is gone you have the one person left selling his card for 65 and thus you have the impatient people who buy that card instantly thus keeping the price at 65 leaving the guy who sold his card for 35 sort of ripped off. So that sort of eliminates person A going out of buisness :\. Also we can't just break it down into that player B will hunt more cards because at this point Player A has most likely better gear and is able to hunt more efficently then player B which means player A has more supply coming in and able to start selling before player B meaning people might buy his product first @The people who said this isn't a suggestion As said before I don't know how other servers do it, but they seem to maintain a stable economy at least from what I remember and if I remember correctly everything in other servers was bought with zeny and donations didn't give you coupons, but gave you the item.
Millenia Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 lol compared to another server i played fro is beyond stable.
SeanIsFail Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Posted May 26, 2009 lol compared to another server i played fro is beyond stable. Really? o.o
Sorrow Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Believe it or not, fRO's economy is more balanced than you might think, and it is highly influenced by our actions. When i first joined the server prices were much higher(Gloom card 70~80 coupons, Kiel 65~70, etc) and in matter of weeks i saw those prices fall to less than half, then rise again...my first sinx card took me 80 coupons to buy back at my first week in the server >.> In-flux of new players cauze this; they need the basic cards for their builds so the demand increases as the stock falls, once everyone's happy and stocks start increasing, the price starts falling and so it goes. Time heals...

Rayray Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 dont buy op items then. that will force them to lower prices

iMush Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 uhh... The dqpons arnt dissapearing u know, theyre just getting transfered from player to player Unless a player NPCs items The main problem is nobody has patience no more, and everyone wants to make money the easy way Which is buying cheap selling higher. Rich people are ready to pay a few more cupons to get a card or gear asap And there by not so rich people wanna sell it higher cuz theres a higher demand for cards and gear, making it easier to sell higher since eventually people will get tierd of waiting and buy it at whatever price. Basically the economy will drop (everything will get cheaper) once the flow of dqpons reduces ( will happen soon, since people dont wait to buy f.sets anymore, i think*) Just think of this as a temporary inflation =] U gotta wait till it goes away, or find your own means to dea wiht it (farm cards, or pay the price or donate)

And the reason I think this would be cool is because anybody could just donate and get coupons, but if we had an ingame currency you had to earn it would give people something to do ;p

-R e i Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 This would be good. An fRO Credit card where all your stuffs are stolen if you don't pay back :) I konw they will buy plenty of things and put them into another account, if the guy is in huge debt go ban his or her IP or people who are in that IP will be missing some of the items they got. LOL THIS SUGGESTION WOULD BE USELESS! Right Guys?
