Addressing the Economy (mudflation)

[cyryllis]

just make a vendor selling pre nerf fungi staff for 5 million each and guises for 1 million each. At those prices, its not like everyone will have them- and it will remove a shit ton of plat from the game

[raff01]

another problem, more concerning, is the growing number of bored people selling their accounts for plat.

[Ephirith]

If you want to fight mudflation put your money where your mouth is and sell me a fungi for 75k so these assholes asking 95k can put their tunics in their asses, yes i mad, the end

stone of jordan, anyone?

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

If they get mad over losing their worthless unused plat then boo hoo. Go farm and make it back instead of screwing the whole server over with inflated prices. This server lost all it's "Classic" excuse with the long time between expansions so you are right a casino in Highpass would work instead of a wipe. Im also all for banning account selling/trading. That's another thing which makes no damn sense with the whole "Classic" crap.

Part of the issue in all this is that where's a market for new players to interact with? Is there even a market for new players? Since they will only have at most 50-200 platinum for transactions, what can they get? It's not a hypothetical question of what could they get for 50-200 platinum, rather, it's a question of Does anybody sell anything that's 50-200 platinum???? The value of platinum has gone down, right? So imagine that suddenly the market is so inflated that the entrance amount is 300 platinum. Anything below that would be useless. It would be like me going to EC and asking what I can get for 1 platinum and getting laughed at.

Who would sell to a new player other than a new player? Are there enough of them to make ends meet? Are there enough veterans to give away rotting gear or to give freebies to make em feel loved?

I think many players don't even bother to sell when they're low level. And by the time they're higher level and want to sell, there's no point at all in selling low plat items for new players.

My rough conclusion is there is NO market for them. The only market is donations. So random veterans going around and handing out platinum or giving away rotting gear or giving gear on their dead alts away.

Not many sell that range of items because no one farms something with so little profit in it. Anything 2k or below I give away to people, while I am not the norm i think that overall that is the servers attitude. No one wants to sit in EC and sell 50pp items unless they have no other choice.

Pretty much what you said.
