| I believe that there should be a cap on item prices, say $10,000,000 above the store value. Meaning, if I buy a Demon Armour from the store at $8,000,000. The most I can put it on the item market for is $18,000,000. This hopefully would help stop the HUGE item inflation that is occurring with the top few items. Since players can add items for 10mil over the store limit, this still allows players to make quite a bit of profit off of the sale of each item. RM packs should be: 30 day - $15,000,000 - $20,000,000 Max 60 day - $25,000,000 - $30,000,000 Max 90 day - $35,000,000 - $40,000,000 Max This $45,000,000+ for a 30day is fucking nuts! 45mil/19k per point = 2,368.4 points for a 30 day. That's about $16 worth of points (if you were to buy point packs) for a $3 item. The only reason why people try charging the prices that they do is because they know others are forced to buy the RMs at that price and can get away with overcharging. These are the same players that bitch to brad about how expensive everything is when really they are no better then him. |

| Items like forks or rags, should remain cap-free so players may still use them for raffles etc. |

| i like your suggestion not jsut or the rediculous high prices of some items, but some items stay on the market forever coz no one are willing to pay like 200 million for a knuckle duster or 2 BIL for a pellet gun |

Yes, I have used RL $ to buy RMs. And I felt bad that I was selling at the same prices others sold. So I lowered my price to what I listed above. I got sold out in 2 days. Brad probably made a good $200 bucks in those 2 days. People won't stop supplying RMs because there is always someone looking for the best way to get to the top. Whether it's buying loads of RMs and selling them to others, or buying point packs...They won't stop supplying them unless brad ups how many points you get when you buy a point pack. 28,000 points (for $130) times $19,000 per point = $532,000,000 Or 43 ($130 worth of 30 day RMs) times $20,000,000 per RM = $860,000,000 $860,000,000 minus $532,000,000 = $328,000,000 $328,000,000 MORE game cash profit then buying a point pack and reselling it. And that's at 20mil per 30 day. 45mil (what players now charge) per 30 day times the same amount of RMs (43) = $1,935,000,000. So $1,935,000,000 minus $532,000,000 (28k point pack x 19,000 per point again) = $1,403,000,000 MORE profit then if you were to buy a 28k point pack. That's a fucking load of profit, even at 20mil per 30 day RM, they are STILL almost doubling the profit of if a player were to buy a 28k point pack, and sell the points at $19,000. So don't fucking tell me that nobody will sell RMs. My fucking ass they won't. As long as they are making profit, there will always be players selling them. |

| Black Widow may have started this thread about expensive RM's but its far more than that. As Black Knight said, people will ALWAYS buy Rm's but this is also about the rest of the market, its cluttered with items at such silly prices no one will ever pay. Even if there is no market mod as suggested, making the items go back to the inventary as in the past will be a very good option |

| Technically I started the thread. Her and I had swapped for the month. I had posted it while on her account. BUT, she does every now and then sell RMs, so she knows exactly what I am talking about and agrees with me. As long as people are playing this game, there will always be someone looking for a way to profit off the game. Whether it's spending $130 on RMs, reselling them then using the cash to get 10x further with their account and sell the account, or if it's breaking the rules and selling items/points/cash for RL $. |

| the alternative on capping items is ofc i someone goes out and satisfy the need or more affordable RM's. if you can get a seller that are always in supply at a good rate and always selling, the other sellers will have to lower prices to sell or they will sit with their goodies till they kingdome come. it still remain balance between need and supply |

THE RM PACK PRICE SHOULD/ WILL BE RAISE HIGHER & HIGHER.......................... No fucking shit it's virtual currency. You completely missed the point of why there should be item caps. (Not just capping RM prices.) The RM portion was to point out the fact that you are spending about $16 worth of points (if you were to buy point packs then sell the points for cash) in exchange for a $3 item. There is NO price deterioration of any of the items. Just simply saying you can't put them on the item market for over 10mil above store price. To say that DDs should deteriorate, is in fact irrelevant and just further proves that you have no fucking idea what this thread is saying or what it was posted to accomplish. So now, re-read the thread, re-read the thread again, wait for it all to sink in, then leave the thread and think about what you just read. |
