Why Are Things So Overpriced Now

[DonWasHereJelly]

as mention in topic some one was selling BR tokens at like 400 per piece if it cost 160 BR token to get one emp from BR shop

400 tokens * 160 BR tokens = 64000 tokens O_O?

if thats the case from https://forsaken-ro.net/tokenshop/?product_cat=tokens

: 8400 tokens = 200 USD

USD Cost of EMP with br tokens = (64000/8400)* 200USD

= $1523.80 (round off to nearest cent)

WEW meaning i would need to donate 1523.80 USD just to get a BR emperium. wtheck is this QAQ

i could buy a ASUS lappy with good gaming spec LOL !

So true, but what can we do. All they think is sell their item not with the best reasonable price, but with the price that only crazy impatient people might buy.

The price of BR token before that would be like around 100 is good enough, but I think there is someone out there that didn't satisfy with that price yet.

Bulk tokens are cheaper now. Cheaper tokens leads to inflation, but the people who were too poor or unwilling to donate for tokens before are still too poor/unwilling for the most part, which means the people spending a lot of money on tokens are the ones that are probably already rich to begin with-- they buy and sell things for more tokens because they can, and eventually everyone else with even a little bit of money starts accepting and following the new price trends, and before you know it, an item that not all that long ago sold for less than 2k now sells for 5k (Blue Emp for example...), the rich become super rich, the poor just find it harder to keep up with inflation and either get bored and quit or try to scam people, and we find ourselves where we are now. Nobody wants to participate in GvG or BR besides the two or three groups that currently do so, which is why the prices are basically whatever they're willing to be bought for. Also, several new people with a lot of money want GvG and BR emps, but they're not being made nearly fast enough to keep up with the demand, so in a rush, they'll pay way overpriced. Gvg emps used to cost around 10k, and BR emps were 16-20. They've basically tripled in price, so this (and simple greed) are the only explanations I can come up with...

Or you could earn it the hard way like some people, it cost so much because of how long it takes to get. There's 2 BRs a week that gives 8 BR tokens per win, so assuming you win all BRs it would still take you 10 weeks to get a BR emp which is about 2 and a half months. This server is already mostly donate to win so raising the amount of tokens to dollar would just make it more obvious and also devalue the token as a whole in the long run.

And yes one of the main reasons I do see prices increasing is because of those people that join the server not wanting to start from the bottom and are willing to spend tons of real money on this game and rush to get their items, therefore paying more like Ohki said.

Or you could wait a few months until the price drop or something~
