If you are just suddenly taking money from people, they're going to be pissed. If you implement a new system to make money, it won't fix anything. If you sell guns like sg552s at an npc shop, nobody would ever bother to make more money than that. If you implement a system that takes money from the rich and gives them an item in exchange (IE ww2 shop), then those items will just become priceless again and nothing will be changed. And this happens in every regular game. Every RPG I've ever played has the occasional crazy disgusting weapons that nobody in the world can afford. There's only a few of them on Era, the only difference is that 5 : 200 is a lot worse than 5 : 6000000.
If you want my opinion, I've said for a long time we should implement a series of new quests with prizes like certain undroppable hats or some that lead to shops, like the xm8 mk23 shop. Others yet would give like 10 undroppable buffs and can be completed once a day by any player. Only, this time, make the quests WAY harder and possibly have items that the player is required to purchase prior to entering the quest. Maybe they need to bribe a security guard for 5000 dollars, etc. This way, between the door charge, the price of food, the price of ammo, and the probable cost of losing the quest (which apparently wasn't important in the previous quests, which one trial can walk through on his own with a handgun and probably not die). Also, the poorer people wouldn't be partaking in the quests as often because they don't have as much money to throw away. Therefore, the ones who worked for their money still have a bit of an advantage, so nobody gets angry, but their advantage will be constantly being reduced.
And Wil, sorry your "ever so useful Business Admin" thinks that barely changing what's already implemented to include stronger guns that would mess the economy up 4x as hard as it already is might not be the best idea. The reason some of them arent' at infinite stock is because they'd be too overpowered at infinite stock.
People talking about socialism and progressive taxes, seriously? This is a video game, guys. Do I really need to worry about my hard-earned virtual-money going to "building new roads in our community?" Are you guys turning in to robin hood? Maybe people could have a little fun on Era if every once in a while they would treat it like a game. |
