This is for People hate to wait their mist energy to refill to pay for elevator fee.

So, I have come up an idea, which require co-operation(a lot :/). When ce price is low, you can buy as many ce as you could. When the ce price is high, you could sell all the ce you buy and you would earn the price difference. However, it require co-operation since the amount of people buy ce will affect the ce price, so it also make it harder to work. An example of this method is, if the ce price is 7700cr, we don't buy the ce to make the price low. After a while, with the ce price low, like 5500cr, we will buy ce. Then we will sell the ce, the result is that you earn 2200 cr for selling each 100ce.

If you have any suggestion to improve this method, Post :D, we all want knight too be rich man :D.

Sadly, there's pretty much no

Sadly, there's pretty much no way to coordinate enough of the community to do something like that. Especially since it requires a lot of the community to be buying and selling at the wrong times so you have people to buy from and sell to.

Or you could just leave it

Or you could just leave it fluctuate naturally instead of trying to control everything!!

This is impossible. The lower

This is impossible. The lower the CE price gets, the more people will be willing to buy it. You cannot possibly control the entire market. Also, your scheme of mass selling once the price goes back up does not work, because assuming you get the entire market to hold the price down to 5k, you now have no one willing to buy CE for 8k.

Take a course in microeconomics, please.

Energy sellers can do the opposite. Stop giving energy at low prices.

"An example of this method is, if the ce price is 7700cr, we don't buy the ce to make the price low."
if the price is low we wont sell you energy and you'll be stuck in T2 forever. Dont try to fight the people that has the control here.

Anyways it's too idealistic, you have to convince 99% o the players to make a big change and you wont find that amount just on these forums (making them agree will be another problem too)

This only works in markets you have any chance of cornering (hint; it's literally impossible to corner the ce market). You'd have to get the greater majority of the playerbase (or if you want to be technical, the majority that use the ce market [which is everybody in this case]) to sign on too, and that would never happen. I doubt even a quarter of the base has ever visited the forums, let alone would go along with your plan.g

It also doesn't help how when you *do* decide to dump the ce, you'll drive the price down through the floor due to oversaturation. The majority of the players in your group will miss out on lucrative profits, and a fair amount will probably lose out. Those who buy in/dump first would be the ones making money off those who buy in/dump late. You'd be preying on them.

Basically, this is a pyramid scheme at its heart. For shame.
