Alright so, Eras Economy....
The reason it is ruined is not because of staff, or spawning, or abuse, or Ace or whatever.
The reason it sucks is because the players and the players only. Let me give an example:
The most money on the server currently is me and dave, we each have about 900k. Yet there are weapons like Mp5 (and many others) that people still say cost 15m. How can this be possible? The players created their own own prices totally ignorant to how good the gun actually is. Looking at the stats of TG and Mp5 right now, and knowing TG costs around 750-900k, using logic and the fact theres about 6 TGs and 5 Mp5s Mp5 should cost a max of 1-1.5m.
The guns like this are outside of the economy, meaning they won't be sold for actual money only for other guns within their league of lame-ness. This makes larges sums of money obsolete. And creates a insanely large gap in the economy. A few examples of how stupid Era players can be:
Gun Stats for 'Tommy Gun':
Damage: 20
Rate of Fire: 0.3
Freeze: 0.05
Reload: 0.15
Spread: 0.17 (19.48°)
Price: 750-900k
Gun Stats for 'Mp5 Navy':
Damage: 20
Rate of Fire: 0.25
Freeze: 0.05
Reload: 0.3
Spread: 0.1 (11.45°)
Price 10-15m
----------------------------------
Gun Stats for 'Shipka':
Damage: 20
Rate of Fire: 0.35
Freeze: 0.12
Reload: 0.36
Spread: 0.06 (6.87°)
Price: 600-800k
Gun Stats for 'Desert Raven':
Damage: 20
Rate of Fire: 0.22
Freeze: 0.12
Reload: 0.36
Spread: 0.03 (3.43°)
Price: 3-5m
The only stat difference for either set is Rate of Fire, and it is only by 5-13 HUNDRETHS (Lower RoF = shoots faster btw) Yet you can clearly see the difference in price, when theres about the same amount of each gun so you can't blame it on rarity. Thus the era players don't know how to tell prices based on stats and the whole getting better guns thing doesn't work out.
Also, I would hope Chris can find out solutions to the things other managers missed, like the obviousness that theres over 100 Axes on Era when only about 3 were actually bought from the EC shop. I mean seriously. |
