I think the q6 weapons should even out soon. At the moment they both are about $4 more than they should be. Q6 food should be at $3 and q6 weapons should be at $31.50.

The q6 food looks like it still may take a while to come down. There are only 16 players selling q6 food and they are still squeezing all the money they can out of it by charging more than double the value. To me it looks like the q6 food will NOT go down until a majority of the players selling it change their prices. There's just not enough of it right now.

Good newspaper. Voted and Shouted.

Thanks for the comment Mike. I saw that there weren't many people selling Q6 food, but it could be a domino effect, one player drops the prices of their food, and so will everyone else. But that only will happen if a person selling it would like to drop the price and get the prices drop to where they should be. Hopefully more people will start making Q6 food and even out the prices, same with weapons.

I read an article about how this is turning into a game for people that want to pay real money. Because it's costing more and more money to upgrade companies these days.

I disagree somewhat. I think Q6 tanks are slightly under-priced and I agree that Q6 food is overpriced. I think there will be much fewer Q6 food companies compared to Q6 tank companies.

My reasoning is in my article:

I came to my conclusion on the weapon prices by looking at the current pattern. There's about a $5.25 gap between each weapon quality except q5 and q6. There the gap is $10! Are they really twice as good as a q5? No.

Yes but the difference between Q5 and Q6 should be greater than Q4 and Q5 because the Q6 has 6 hits while the other weapons have only 5.

It should not be a linear relationship through all weapons because they are not equal in hits. You should add 20% to the amount Q6 is greater than Q5.

All other weapons do NOT have 5 hits and they ARE linear:

q1 - 20 fire power 1 use
q2 - 40 fire power 2 uses
q3 - 60 fire power 3 uses
q4 - 80 fire power 4 uses
q5 - 100 fire power 5 uses
q6 - 120 fire power 6 uses

If I go by your article:
q6 is 144% > q5 is 144% > q4 is 144% > q3 is 144% > q2 is 144% > q1

7 Q5 costs 174.65: and is worth a 3500 (7*5*100) influence bonus
5 Q6 costs 170.00 and is worth a 3600 (5*6*120) influence bonus

So yes, they really are worth more than 10 USD in value.

In the past, there has always been a clear gap between Q4 and Q5, much larger than the typical 5.25 gap that separates the other Quality weapons. This is because once you are to the point of supplying all of your fights with weapons, there's simply nothing better than using the highest quality weapon in all of them. Thus if you've sold weapons for a long time and trained up through the various quality levels, the highest quality moves pretty fast to players, while all other qualities are a matter of pricing relative to the buy-bot and waiting for it to buy out your goods. I sold all my remaining Q5 weapons for close to 1.20 above the current market because the buy bot is chipping away at the supplies every hour on the :51.

@Quintus - Math rocks! I see what you are saying.
