Minimum wage: do we need devaluation? [updated]
supermaghe
Just a short article to focus on a problem caused by v2/rising: minimum wage is now referred to hourly wage and no more to daily wage.
As the minimum wage can not be set to less than 1 IEP, a newbie will be paid up to 12 IEP/day (if they work 12 hours), but they will produce something that is much less valuable.
Many petitions are on going but I am not sure this is an error: this could be an admin choice to increase money earned/spent...
So what do we do? In my opinion we have two choices: let the market regulate itself (prices will anyway rise) or devaluate IEP issuing money. Usa congress has already started USD devaluation.
What is your opinion?
Update by admins: We have just modified the lowest minimum salaries for every country by dividing them by 10. The change comes as a result of the fact that in eRepublik Rising, the salary is paid on a hourly basis, not in daily basis anymore. Example: A minimum national salary of 5 local currency has become 0.5 local currency.
Also, we have improved the balancing formulas. We've spotted some issues in raw materials consumption, thanks to your submitted tickets, and we have just fixed them. For more info about how things work in the new economy module, you should constantly check the eRepublik Wiki.
Nice job, problem solved. 😉

Looking like it, now the govt. will have a tighter budget..... hmmm
For now, harvesting prizes are way down. "market" is drugging them to the v1. In grain now iss needed 30grain to make a food... and the total cost will be near the old one. so salaries need to go to minimum till admins write to us what they intent to do...
Prices as a whole will rise, IEP to GOLD, will also change, I personally expect it to be about 100IEP = 1 GOLD.
@5n4keyes: that 26 on your avatar is impressive. I am still not used to new levels. 🙂
it's in this way in all countries
I say we let the economy run it's course
Let it run it self and I can see RM companies the world over going bankrupt...they cant afford the wages as they need to sell thousands to make any real money. Being the fact that the average person makes a few hundred a day...its overstocked worldwide.
The minimum wage is currently 0.1 IEP so no we do not need to devalue IEP.
People jumped to soon and didn't wait for the admins to do something.
