Yeah buddy, I understand...but you know why?
Simple...this market mechanic is pathetic...if someday, market players decide to put every 100 of CE cost at 10.000 crows, who gonna stop them?

Say it's pathetic, but for real, if you own something, you sell it at wathever price you want.

Try telling the cashier at a supermarket to lower the prices or give you a discount just because you want to or dont get paid much.

But to answer your OP: It doesn't use 100 energy to complete a full Vana run and you can't blame P2P people for selling their CE for the most that they can obtain. It's still quite easily possible to farm Vana purely on CE while making a profit.
To answer your 2nd question: They may have to introduce more crown sinks, nerf payouts even more..something along those lines to lower CE prices, since promos are only a temporary solution to the problem.

@Zolota
If the price was to be reduced to 5-6k due to players refusing to pay 10kcr, then they would all attempt to buy it with the cr that they've stored up..causing the CE price to dramatically increase again.

Vanaduke is an hour? Um, sorry, but I solo FSC in 45/50 minutes.
Runs I go with my friends are usually around 30..

Elevator passes will not be removed.They have already trialed them and said that they are a permanent addition. Giving CE out to every P2P would not work due to the rage that it would cause, it only being a temporary solution, it screwing up the market etc.

CE isn't expensive because sellers are greedy; it's expensive because buyers really, really need it. And often in this sort of game, the buyers vastly outnumber the sellers.

If you want CE prices to decline, you need either of the following:
A) Fewer people buying CE with crowns (more people making the choice to spend real money on the game), or,
B) More people selling CE to get crowns. This is usually accomplished by creating a new feature like punch the UV gremlin, or those featured accessory auctions that everyone whines about.

Wow.

You know that P2Pers have to work to get their money, and they will need their daily essentials. SO calling them lazy about a game even though they work in life to get to where they are in game, you are yourself lazy.

I DON'T care what age you are, this sounds to me like a 3 year old crying about somthing they can't get(money, credit card accounts).

And before you ask, i'm not P2P, I fact, I can't because I'm too young to get a account and, [Retracted].

No wonder your FSC runs are so long, no doubt you have to PUG with that attitude.

I 100% agree with Tom..
Also, who are you to call us lazy, when you're the one sitting on a computer, while we're working in real life to get money.
I don't think spending a small amount on this game is a sin.
You can farm FSC as much as you like, you'll make maybe 3500 CE if you farm it for 48 hours?
Hell, anyone could go get a job at a gas station and work one hour in real life for that.

Edit: lololol, Mr. Devilite already said what I did.

Nerf Mission FSC crown payout, increase crown payouts does nothing but make CE cost even more. People farm mission FSC since it is a direct warp to FSC. But imo its crown payout should be lowered to 4k-5k per run instead of 7-8k. Make clockworks FSC worth 8k-9k per run since you have the travel the first 4 levels to get there.

People will keep buying CE no matter the price if they can afford it. So as long as mission FSC still gives 14k-16k crowns (not counting tokens) for 100 ce people will keep coughing up 8k crowns for 100 ce. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if CE reached 10k per 100 while mission FSC was still giving out 7k-8k crowns (then 3-4 tokens at 1k each) for 50 ce.

Yeah, the same person who made the remove BN thread, not LD.

Stop crapping in GD.

Least I don't go insulting a playerbse for what they do.

You have "Friends"? More like anonimous faces from a PC.

If you can solo, go do it then and leave your pointless threads in the GV. I rarely see people acting like god If they buy stuff. Seriously.

Yet, if you have freedom, then why can't you swear, or Post [Retracted] or insult each other? Also, by telling me to shut up, aren't you violating MY "freedom"? Hyprocritical at most.

Most of them, never seen "Most of these People".

So the Goverment is Greedy? That Local Corner Shop Is greedy?

By calling the P2P player-base lazy, that's just as bad as naming/shaming. It's a contradictory statement, as you are P2P as well. If you want the CE to go down, and for P2P players to do something, start it yourself even if you don't trust the gaming payment methods. It's your own risk. I am P2P.
With all your comments on P2P, you might be the most prejudicial people I've seen on the forums (and this even includes the F2P-rage thread a little while back). You call P2P selfish and lazy. You say that promos don't work anymore (lol Mirror Boxes?). You say to remove Elevator Passes. I laughed at this thread. Don't say I'm targeting you, since you took the risk of naming and shaming the P2P community in a pointless thread on the forums.
And yes, I may have bias, being a P2P player myself. However, I didn't take any offense due to the ignorance present within this thread.

Calling someone lazy is an insult. Saying anything else is just spinning the truth.

Once again, they are manipulating the market just as much as a you are. They are just trying to get crowns, you're just trying to get CE. They aren't scheming and I can guarantee you that they aren't really controlling the market with the strangling power that you seem to believe they have.

So hows using the market tab to sell CE at a better profit any different than using the market tab to buy CE at a lower price?
