Join the new world

The race to zero can be avoided by adding an escalating series of decimal points to prices and steadily increasing the Quality values (Q5-->Q6-->Q7-->etc.).

Inflation of Qs and dissolution of prices is the best solution to the redistribution of market pollution. (yes, I consult Dr. Seuss for economic theory)

The End is Nigh!

Since there are no decimals or Qs, it looks like the end is near.

What really needs to happen is eRep needs more jobs to reduce the concentrated production levels.
The tree of manufactured goods needs to be increased. It should take 5-10 Sub Parts to equal a Q5 Weapon. And each sub-part needs 5-10 sub-sub parts.. That way you broaden the base of employment and production, which in turn creates a new dynamic of problems that actually prevent over production of goods.


The Economy in eRep needs Diversity.

Am I hearing that you are advocating we bring back Carpenters and Production Managers, as in early V2?

Yes.. Although not under the same roof... Have products that need to be manufactured and sold on the market. So instead of just a handful of goods in the market, you have dozens of goods that (A Factory) has to purchase in order to complete an assembly.

Take Weapons Raw Materials and break it out into 5 different products that need to be manufactured and sold on the market. I'm not calling for skilled laborers. Im calling for product diversity and a hierarchical product line.

Perhaps you should specify the month as well; one year for an eRep Financial Meltdown is really long...

Remember the good old days before Admin's started managing the economy to destroy the value of currency and make gold purchasing a central theme of the game?

Yeah me too...
