Whether an item release is "good" or "bad" for the economy.

if its a scavenger hunt, OBVIOUSLY theres going to be people who can just buy all the items off people in a matter of 7 hours (way to pull 4 hours out of your ass). now those are the only people who get a good prize? i played like 6 hours yesterday to try and get this **** and now its 10 goddamn event coins.
way to **** up on every level, goddamn retards

I easily spent 12 hours mining and working for my prize. If you had started when I did, and worked as hard/fast as I did, you would have gotten a prize.

i started a few hours after the event began, and i did work as fast/hard as i could, and i also feel i played way more than the average person

its too bad people who dont play 12 hours a day cant get a cool prize.

look at demon stone, at one point i was in possession of the ONLY one, now theres like 500. is the economy ruined? no, it just helped the masses, instead of those <10 people who have every item (THEY ruin the economy)

The event shouldn't have been so unorganized to begin with. So I have two choices:

A.) Just let tons of rare items be released (which would have probably been over 15 rare, overpowered items released by now, destroying a lot of competitive balance of GK's economy).
B.) Stop the destruction of our economy, but in turn upset some of the players.

It was an easy choice. Try to look at it from both angles.

What is "competitive balance". How do you determine how much "competitive balance" an economy has, and how does increasing the number of a bunch of rare items in the economy from one to two or three, or from zero to one or two "destroy" a lot of it?
