Thee Economy/guns/era life

[ilovegirlzz]

ever since the "balancing" it seems that prices have dropped and some have raised but overall the economy has gotten worse. the reason i say this is because there are a lot of weapons that were selling then stopped or became "unsellable" i.e flak/bow/ss/pl9/scythe. some weps were good and cheap like ivories but u dnt see those being used at all. u dnt see a lot of guns being used simply bcuz they suck.

now that the guns are "balanced" i think all the guns should be taken out of shop. that wud probably get some stuff circulating. u know ppl wanting 1 of a kind guns and all. also raise the prices of flak/ls/bow/flamer/mvp items or take them outta shop.

just an idea. i thought it wud do some good.

No. They need to add MORE guns to the shops.

ok this is about the economy not raiding stay on topic people.

[Rave_J]

honestly if they wanted rare guns they would just auction 3 of a kind guns ect
like they use too. people cant sell cuz era depends on people ot mine or pick flowers ect
once new people quit making money theres no new money in the economy

i notice alot of people want cash or a mil for a gun
well everybody is broke lol

i can easily say selling light saber 600k
then get 2 other people and then everybody be like tis worth 600k
u c what im saying how u know what guns worth its just what people prices it to be as

Era should not be about an "economy". If anything, we need more guns in shops and the prices need to be lowered...a lot.

Except for a few event items (such as the Halloween Scythe), every weapon should be obtainable through some shop.

Sales sums it up pretty nicely.

Partially disagree,
In an ideal Era, yes... every weapon should be drastically lowered in shops and be made available to everyone, by some means.

However, that ideal Era can't be seen without a reset. The impact of such a drastic shift to any player who obtained an item in these, or harsher conditions would be unwarranted.

However, In a reset, the slate is clean and such an approach would definitely be a wise route to go (amongst other things).

era gets reset more often than a white chick gettin her something altered on her body.
fine put every gun in shop. and lower prices..then when everyone gets everygun we will see who has the most skills WOOT HOOT end all trading

Even better idea, lets just delete all the guns and stick with the basics (Uzi, Shotgun, Ak47).

Can't add guns to shops until you reset. Many players who own the current items that aren't in shop paid a lot for them, and if you add them in shops you're screwing over those players.

Reset has to occur so everything is wiped. I do agree though once there's a reset that every gun should be in shop and able to be purchased.

"Prices and availability subject to change." Its a common sense practice going on in marketing for eons. You cannot guarantee that something will always be rare and expensive, just for the sake of a few people that wanted the best, first. Do you think the people that bought the first PC's or digital televisions were screwed cause they paid thousands for something you payed a few hundred for?

Resetting Era should be a last resort. While the idea of it sounds good in the beginning it normally causes more hate and discontent than restructuring what is already there and making a new path. No economy is ever perfect for very long so just make the best of what you have and try to move forward.

Your point looks shiney on-paper, but lets be practical.
In reality (since that's the basis for comparison), the price of an object doesn't just randomly fluctuate. The reason the price drops or changes is because its value changes due the market shifting.

For example, if an MP5 Navy is released in lets say 2002 (irl).
The weapon is revolutionary due to its rapid-fire and close-quarters capabilities.
Its initially priced highly.
Its value would depreciate by 2012 because by 2012, they'd have released an MP5 Navy SEALs Kick-Ass Explosive Shot Kaboom Bullets Woohoo.

Which would virtually be better than the one released in 2012 in every way.
Alongside the multiple improvements by competition and etc along the way.

However, marketers keep in mind the affordability of an item (Era's Market Affordability, amongst other things, is much different). Therefore, the original Mp5 Navy would've been depreciating due to (competition's improvements as well as its mass-availability) and the new Mp5 Navy would be granted a much higher price.

Hope this outlines it well,
You can't mimic the events of reality because these are two different elements and the mentality of the people is different.
People base their purchases on specific elements which do NOT change in the weapon.

Again, no one is saying a reset is the solution to all the problems.
A reset is way to successfully (favorably) implement the already conducted solutions.
Just because you reset, it doesn't solve your problems... not permanently.
However, if you know the measures needed to be taken to prevent said issues from occurring. The best approach is to reset and implement these measures. However, prior to a reset, everything must be in-place. All problems must be conceptually, developmentally, and etc; solved.

You can't prevent an event that already occurred.
Furthermore, solutions to certain events display more cons than pros if applied in the aftermath.
Therefore, a reset is a blasphemous thought. To be quite frank, a final one is overdue; not sure it should be carried out by Alfonso though... We can wait a few more managements for the right head.

lol u think the items in shop didnt fk people over already. they added 18 guns to shop w/o a reset the only reason you saying that is so you dont lose money for yo mp5n add every gun to shop..era has had like 4 resets all bcuz of the same reason the economy so having another reset would do nothing but lead to another reset and so on.
