Lol at machiavelli3's finale.
And please, there is not a single thing more stupid than Luden's intro phrase: guess what genius, SOMEONE comes up with a solution, nigh magically, because every solution needs to be come up with. By someone.
Now, since the point of the thread is downright a hole-in-one, but the risk of harming new players is a valid point too, i would suggest a fee up-front, refunded in case of expiration or purchase but not in case you cancel. Or, a partial refund in expiration and none in cancel scenarios.
Ofc, there's always the viewpoint that OOO wants the game to be hard and the economy unforgiving, so that CE costs more in crowns and so the dolar price seems smaller. It's up to them to prove otherwise by taking action as demonstrated above ;)
I read the first post and was to lazy for the rest...
Anyways here what i think should be changed to stop the market price of ce to raise
1. Don't allow the price to change
-find a fair price perhaps around 4500cr for 100ce and set that to the market price
2. make crowns slightly more common in T1 floors(could lower the demand from noobs... correct me if I'm wrong)
3. (this is kinda dumb) we could make crowns and ce the same thing
4. allow X purchases in a day
-this could actually cause the price to lower
