That's what I said ^_^ lol!

How would you feel if you were a new player and your working your ass off spending hours to make 10k, when other players around you are shooting you as soon as you leave 'unstick me' with guns worth 200k, 300k, and beyond? Guns they earned simply by trading and having connections? Gun prices are fluctuating by the week and this is a big problem. For example, weeks back I remember an MP40 was around 70-80k. Today, people are telling me that it is worth about 50k now. Wtf? This is should not be happening. My suggestion is that Era have more gun stores that sell guns with fixed prices. This way people will actually have to work for their money instead of hustling and manipulating other players who don't know any better for profit. And to keep rare guns rare, the NPC-Server can just spawn one or two of these guns every so often, but not enough for the weapon to lose value.

I agree to a point but. . . some guns tend to get buffed/nerfed, therefor manipulating it's economic price. They also start to become more common, which decreases the price.
Perhaps they should look at Runescape and take there "Grand Exchange" system into consideration by having set prices etc. This can also prevent scamming :P

Well, most people like Era due to its simplicity. A lot of gamers nowadays dislike games that are complex, unless it has a larger playercount and big all around.

I was told that most people don't have have 1,000,000$ in there bank account, and that players are only worth what they are due to there guns they own. Which is why I shot my idea out that guns should break and players should pay to fix them. The price to fix them would rely on the guns economic price.

Or what about if you have a question PM a FAQ? There have been many times where I have asked a FAQ a question and they had no idea what the answer was."
Levels team? What do they do? I don't see any new levels or quests? Do you? 
The events team does an excellent job, no complaints there.

Agreed, I've witnessed some naughty things staff do. From abusing there rights to spawning guns for friends, I've seen it all.
One thing I find fishy is that, when Deo was promoted to manager, why were his friends Squirt and Dunez all of the sudden hired/promoted? Hmm.
