How to combat the jelly-headed market price increasers
Wed, 06/20/2012 - 08:11
1. We lower the prices slowly, 1 or 2 crowns at a time.
2. Soon, the prices will be like when the game began, costing about 4000-5000 crowns.
Umad, rich knights?

Well...
The rich knights are (con)trolling the stock markets, which is causing new players and veterans to rage. They get their money out of the markets, so if we lower the prices slowly, they'll lose their power!
(I cleary remember the prices being that after the official release.)

Yeah but you still didn't
Yeah but you still didn't explain WHAT WILL YOU DO in the practice.... how do you push rich people to "get their money out of the markets" ?? (i didn't understand the meaning of this sentence... I just quoted you). How do they lose their power? Develop your concept from theory to practice please. I am (we all are) really curious about it.

Ok, one more time...
Rich knights are using the stock markets to massivley harvest money.
This method makes it hard for new players to cope, and may end us up with a decreasing playerbase.
We are not forcing them to decrease tha money, we will get people against their idea to lower the prices 1 crown at a time.
After 2-3 months, the stock market prices will hopefully decrease by 1k, so that means in a year, we can send the prices back to 4K!

This is the worst proposed
This is the worst proposed plan for lowing the price for energy. Maybe this is why the F2P forum playerbase are always upset. They have no good ideas.

You think you can control the market and they'll just watch you do it?.
For every 1cr you reduce, they create a 100cr increase.

Logic time:
For starters,
Logic time:
For starters, let's say we did lower CE prices to 5k or even 6k/100. This is only a short-term solution as it'll instantly go right back up to the current price it is now: 8.5k/100. The problem lies in missions, nothing more, nothing less. I feel that the people who are manipulating the market are very wrong doing so. But because of how the market is designed, it was obvious that it would be exploited in such a way eventaully.
Overall, although it'd sound rubbish and wrong to me. I'd have to say that if you have problems with CE Prices, why not just buy some CE? Then you can post prices for 5k/100 like you want! But, you wouldn't do that because you'd be losing out on major profit.
So sadly, until Missions are removed/nerfed or some form of a good crown-sink (not UVs) comes up, CE prices will keep rising.

TBH, if everyone buying CE
TBH, if everyone buying CE knew how to PROPERLY use the Market Tab, then the CE price would probably stop rising (or even slowly start lowering). You have no idea how many times I see something like this cause the CE price to go up about 200:
Offers to buy CE
1) 8200 x 1
2) 8201 x 2
3) 8250 x 2
4) 8300 x 4
5) 8301 x 20
(The numbers on the left are there just so I can refer to each line)
The first problem is rather minor, but it's going from 1) to 2). When there is only one offer at a certain price, it's better to just post another offer at that price. You'll wait a bit longer, but most people selling CE sell in bulk (i.e. they don't sell just 100CE and call it a day. They sell like 500 CE or more, most of the time to afford something expensive).
The second problem is going from 2) to 4). I cannot count how many times I have seen people do this. If you are trying to undercut someone by offering a better price, undercut at the MINIMUM AMOUNT POSSIBLE! Adding in that extra 50 crowns (instead of just 1 crown) does not make you get your CE faster, nor at a better price.
Normally, the second problem mentioned above gets reversed when someone sells a huge clump of CE. However, at 5), when someone is trying to BUY CE in bulk, the price will get stuck at that point for a good while. When the CE price gets raised due to someone adding in an extra 50 crowns, and then someone posts a ton of offers at 1 crown higher, than the CE price gets frozen at that higher offer, raising the CE price by about 50 crowns.
Please explain how you shall do this. Oh, and it didn't start out at 4,000-5,000 crowns per 100 CE.
Also, the "rich knights" won't be mad. They're still rich.
