That's been suggested before, however, that takes a great deal of fun out of the game and would probably do more harm than good.

I'm annoyed too that basically the only way to earn big ammounts of money is through merchanting... I'm not very good at it xD

There should be other options....

Also while we're on the topic, where do people buy guns like pbp, angel, shipka, deagles and other weapons I've never seen on stores

• PBP was released in the "shotgun shop" along with the Spaz-12 and PL-9.
• Deagles used to be in a store I think (I want to say Pyro Tech with the M4, but I'm not positive).
• Angels were a business weapon for Bounty Hunter.
• Shipka was Mongrel Mob's gang gun.

To be honest, the majority of guns you can't find in stores are leftover from gangs (Shipka, MT, G36k, PPSH, Daewoo, etc). Which really makes me realize how stupid gang guns are as well as the decisions to just untag-lock them after a gang fails.

yah this would never happen but.... What if SOME how, *just imagine* era's player count was like 1500, and atleast 1000 people played a day.. Would you release the same guns or make new ones? Since almost every gun on era is discontinued they would be hella lot of money.

Within 3 months I went from having a Ap0 to having a PBP and shipka, its not all that hard.

But you're a master in merchanting =/

[BlueMelon]

Current rare guns = High price, rare, = people quit with guns = price goes up +rarity
Release of more rare guns? = Less rare = price goes down = Balance in economy.
Auction off the guns to take out money of the economy

You cross-server traded your stuff from Zodiac to Era.. I remember my friend doing it with you too!
what r u on about?!

[CharlieM]

If you decide to release rare guns in auction everyone that has them now will USD them before the auction and then quit. You have to work to get good stuff.

[Spikedude]

Making money is hard, but like Frankie said, you need to get connections. I don't ever work for anything now. I sometimes cut trees to get like 2-3k at a time and get ammo and stuff. But I have friends who hook me up with items to use or sometimes even have.

Otherwise, businesses are the best way to make money, because if you work hard, you get promoted. And a good place for those connections.

Deagles were sold in that 1 shop that I wanna say scimps owned, but Im not sure. The shop with the ap0 gg,got turned into a motorcycle shop and is now gone lol.

I agree with amsel ,if I didnt work for am and the only reason why I do is because my friends own it, and if I didnt work there Id be broke I wouldnt have ammo!. Ammo meant a lot to me when I was a noob

They are, but not on as full of a scale as they will

[Aldaris]

It's a system that is royally broke, and nothing that I can think of will fix the problem. I agree that items, as of now, are priced way too high. When people ask for "$10,000,000+ million" for a gun, they are usually referring to that amount in other items. Currently, players with guns starting from the MS won't accept direct cash for their items because it wouldn't suffice in comparison to getting more items that they can eventually sell for more items.

In my opinion, I don't know what the staff is doing. Ammo, specialty drinks, and food are all quite expensive in comparison to how much money a player can actually make without consuming too much time. I, for one, have put an end to using food / specialty drinks because it is far too pricey to consistently buy on a daily basis, but that is for another topic.

As far as the gun crisis goes, there is no true solution. Players, as Frankie suggested, have far too much control over how they price their items.
