An article about the future

Me laddies, I have come full circle and I finally understand this game.
It is rigged. Once you get to a certain point you realize it.

Q7 food is pointless, your best place to produce is Q6. The cost to produce Q7 food is way to high.

I can't figure out why the admins would think this was a worthwhile addition.

Houses are pointless. You still have to replenish or refill the energy you use? Really? Wow....

Hiring employess is pointless. I have done so, only to try and help the economy, but I realize it's going nowhere fast, and I'm not getting ahead. I now have about 100 unused production waiting for someone to take it.

Admins shoot themselves in the feet for additions that still have us scratching our heads. I have been absent for a while and have been basically two clicking.

Here was my list of things to do:

Produce, Work, train, Pay employees. Fin.

Next day, repeat.

This is why the radio silence. However, I have unlocked a new mission ("finally"), and that was to get 25 comments to one of my articles. So anyone's contribution to commenting below would be appreciated.

eRep is about macro -economics u need to have a lot of factories so that wam clicks eventually makes it all profitable.

And you need a full line of production my wam click produce more than enough WRM for my Q7 factory.

You need to produce your own food as well.

Basically the aim is to be totally self reliant. This game needs a lot of grind thats why a lot of people quit because you cant even in a year be profitable without a credit card of course.

I also change my strategy a lot now Im not selling WRM anymore and use medals/stashes to buy factories ever increasing my production

I also build up a large quantity of items to sell at once. then i use that money to pay for salaries and build up my stock until i run out of money to pay my employees sell stock again rinse repeat

Natster Day 2,486, 02:32

The best use of resources those who don't buy large amounts of gold is to collectively pool our resources. CrOmega when in operation acted like an economic unit - the unit would invest WAM companies with their members and their members would donate the revenue created back to the unit for re-investment.

Similar could be done with close knitted group, but even then, require a horde of starting capital and you'll be indebted to such a group for a good while. eRep stopped being profitable for companies a long time ago... now the "profit" from investment is obtaining damage on the battlefield.

wrm is still profitable do the math

Natster Day 2,486, 02:35

Yeah prestige rewards are good sometimes. However I'm at the point where bazookas are practically useless damage wise.... Hehe

"profitable", RTK, in context here,means a good return on investment. It takes significant amount of time to get back your investment from WAM companies, less so (if not impossible) if you pay wages for the production. GM clicks pay a little tax and there are no other cost factors on WAM other than buying the company (or paying wage, if you're silly enough to do that).

You will guarantee an income with Raw Material companies, but the payback time is large enough, that there are better ways of using the capital. Such as investing in communes, or as said, taking part in a cooperative investment scheme. But all the significant profit comes in damage form rather than monetary.
