In all seriousness this was a stupid and pointless necro.

And I only brought up the Cr's cause it shows how cards going Cr are far more likely to bring in profits to older or richer players than newcomers. You can't have massive inflation than expect new players to make up the difference by getting cards go Cr. Anyway, Happy New Year and best wishes for 2012.]]>Sat, 31 Dec 2011 16:25:26 GMTTrey or Andsom before bonnie came out? Going back to the equilibrium, the cards retain their value, while also not groqing to expensive that new people can't get them. If things get much cheaper, then one man will buy them and have a monopoly... Of cards. I'm getting tired of these posts, but i feal i have made my statement. We both have supported our sides of the debate. Good job and what not. Congrats on 7 crs. I had 7 marcos myself. Who knows, maybe we will have a fair debate later!]]>Sat, 31 Dec 2011 07:58:19 GMT
As for your world view, there's normal supply and demand. Then ld's come and artificially inflated prices for a clan. If missions for the Ld's then became more specific, that would only increase the amount of inflation and speculation. Having non specific missions controls this inflation and speculation cause it allows more options both within and outside that Ld's clan. Franky I don't know how you could even support the idea that having Aurora be worth 70k and Kolos out of reach for all but the rich would ever be good for the game. Newplayers would dry to a trickle, and the playing population would shrink as people dropped out without anyone to replace them. Then you'd be left with nothing but the hardcore rich that would only shrink over time. And then what market would you have left to play with if everyone is rich and already has all the cards they need? Your method would mean the end of UR and your market play.]]>Sat, 31 Dec 2011 07:30:22 GMTTremorh would be like 300 clintz, and Kolos would be like 4000. Although with mine cards like Aurora would be 70000, and Kolos out of question. Although its as balanced as it'll get, you forgot the golden rule on why the price of cards go up for there clan. Because of people willing to swindel people of clintz? Perhaps, but this market relies on buy and demand, and as people want these cards, the price will go up whether you like it or not. Even if things wouldn't quite work out your way, face the facts, if prices on UR dropped, some rich guy will take advantage, and all this is fair game in marketing rules. If somebody wants to buy 100 kolos's, then why not? I'd like to say let the games begin, but they already have! The equilibrium must stay in tact, otherwise havock will break loose, whether it be new people running around with DJ Korr Cr, or being stuck with Ogoun Kyu. It all lies on the equilibrium]]>Sat, 31 Dec 2011 06:21:43 GMT
And not sure you can really say much about crap cards going Cr's giving beginners cash. Like wasteroftime said, a beginner with a small collection is unlikely to have it (and then probably only one), while older or richer players will likely have it for sure (and probably in multiples). For beginners it would be like winning the old lottery or new slots, for big collections it'd be like the 50 clintz for a dt, they only have to be there. So not really equalising things.]]>Sat, 31 Dec 2011 06:03:33 GMT
And one of the main things that draw and keep players is that they can get into the game without feeling that the only way they can be competitive is to either have been here for years, or throwing down a chunk of real cash. These are new players, they haven't invested time, money or effort into this game. They don't have they social or guild connections. They can leave at anytime and not lose anything at all. Asking them to look at a massively inflated market that is constantly in flux and controlled by existing players and asking them to pay cash up front for packs since they can't afford the market before they've really gotten into the game is a sure way to turn people off.

A more stable market, with reasonable prices is more likely to get them to stay. Knowing that prices are on trend rather thant suddenly jumping in the next day. They might not spend as much right off as the upfront method, but if you get them to stay, then you've gained a player. And one who might spend later on. Probably more than if you tried to mug them straight off. Long term payoff rather than the short term one.]]>Fri, 30 Dec 2011 21:56:44 GMT
i think you are confusing some of the concepts of economies with the concept of inflation. i dont think there would be a single real world economy that wants inflation.

the market is not really an equilibrium.... because there is such a limited way to release clintz from the system (kate tax, event tax, sell cards to kate) and much much much more ways for clintz to enter the system

as for crap cards going Cr.... its still the rich that benefit greatly from that. the new player is happy he has one and feels "awesome, got 11,000 clintz for that!" Well the richer players would have more copies of it.
Good for rich player, ok for poor player, future players not so much. But what is good with making crap card Crs is it does not affect the gameplay. So newbies are not getting hammered by Jackies Blaasters and Edds and feeling that it would be too hard for them to compete.

hey but thats why we are the players and the UR have paid staff... they get paid to think about how to improve the game for old, new, rich, and poor players alike]]>
