lol, I know right?

Its kind of sad how far they take it, it's an online gaming site, not some sort of strictly run economy. Damn!

LOL.
It's an economy nonetheless though .
Can't argue that it works xD.

yeah, their form of an economy definitely succeeds, its just that When one of us look for a loophole to make a ton of money( NP ), we get shot( iced ) for it. That is the annoying part.

A tyrannical Monarchy at that.

[Shadowfool]

that's so dumb that you can get frozen for inflating. Its a fucking market system, let it run it's course TNT...

[Ambition]

LOL. Do you guys know how fucked up the economy would be if TNT didn't regulate anything?

Imagine the real world without government regulation of business and its practices. Monopolies, trusts, no minimum wages, no labor laws, and no price floors. A world without opportunity.

[coqs]

inflation is pretty fucked up even with TNT trying to control it...

Yeah, your probably right, it would be out of control, but we are talking about super strict control By TNT. People can't get away with restocking too much, they control every little detail in the economy, and they are extremely ice happy.

[Ambition]

How are they controlling every little detail in the economy?

[RKO]

How are they controlling every little detail in the economy?

Main shops, check.
Games, check.
Item prices( inflation) Check.
Auctions, check.
Trading Post, check.

What else can I mention that they monitor to the extreme?

The easiest way to inflate an item is to do this:
You buy a few for the cheap initial price. Then you put on the TP for a higher price. A friend of yours buy it, and resell, for another friend of yours. You can do it with a few friends with money, sell a few for a cheaper price to each other, and then you all sell the item for the price you want. Of course, the item must be retired, and in the end you and your friends must hold all of them.
If your patient and have like 10+ friends that are up to do this, already with some stocked money, you can make it look like very legit, and you'll sell on how much you want. You just need to assure that no one is going to be a total jerk.


PS, RKO: They should check those draik/krawk itens. Hell, they're 16 mil now. And those lab maps, they're 1,2mil now. And they aren't even retired. I mean, they used to be 1-3 mil each draik/krawk item and the map used to be 500-800k lol

I like your plan alot, the problem accurs when one of you buddies decides to bail out and start selling early, which in turn can slow the process down.

I think the inflation of Draiks/Krawks and the Map pieces is due to extremely high demand vs. small quantities available. Way back when, the demand was less, thus the prices were smaller.

I mean after all, I should know, I was around when the maps were as low as 300k per set and the Draik/Krawk MPs were low as well.

I remember those days... I took a break for a few years (or at least didn't check the prices of draik eggs) then when I remembered about them as I almost had enough spare neopoints to purchase it I found they had rose to like 12 mill..................

Sorry .

I don't think TNT is doing a very good job controlling the economy. They're too near-sighted some of their decisions.. ie. increasing the possible games played/day makes inflation inevitable.

Ya xD. I saw someone on the AC buy 7.
I'd buy one but I'm scared TNT might release them in the attic.

Well if the attic is releasing draik eggs, I think any item is no at risk of being lowered.

That's why I'm refraining from hoarding any new items .

Since they're retired, there won't be any released from the attic

Well, I still need about 6 of them. So hopefully I will get them before they are too pricey.

Well there's still a decent 15 or so that are priced between 200k-300k on the TP.

[Junsu]

Perhaps we can inflate snowbunnies like we did with meowclops
