Solutions for Q7 prices and season packs
AunsxOM
Good evening, my dear friends!
A crisis has struck our community out of blue, tank prices are soaring, season packs has made lower division players to start roaring, and overall player satisfaction has dropped so low, that James Cameron is preparing his submarine for a mission to see how does depths of eRepublik satisfaction oceans looks like. Luckily for us, the eRepublik players who have adapted for life in such pressure and darkness, there is a beam of light, since Q6 and Q7 houses, as well as city elections, are coming soon, but still, we need to get to the bottom of the issues that are plaguing our New World. That is why I stand here, in front of you, ready to provide real solutions for real problems, so lets get started.
Tank prices
Many players have noticed a major spike in Q7 tank prices, and, no longer being able to feed themselves and “their families”, are voicing their dissatisfaction in friends feed. I am not a conspiracy theory supporter, but all of this is fault of the elites. Battalion 20 tanks are getting so much free money that they can outbid everyone in job market, which obviously causes rise in commodity prices. The situation has gotten so bad, that me, a battalion 6 pleb, are losing money while fighting in TP battles. The situation is unacceptable and needs a solution badly, so here I am offering you couple who I came up with:
- Reintroduce “Boost the economy days”, but this time each hit would consume not twice, but five times the usual amount of resources. Some might say that this will not improve anything. I agree. But the logic behind this is that if I can`t afford to fight with weapons, no one should. Weapons would be like birthday cake – use them once a year when something important happens.
- Ban everyone battalion 20 player. No more game ruining high amounts of easy cc. Solution more or less explains everything by itself. When reaching Battalion 20, a pop up would appear giving them two options – restart their account or receive permanent ban and eRepublik t-shirt in color of their choice.
- Introduce communism model. Allow governments to set max salaries and commodity prices. This module requires an article by itself, which, hopefully, is coming soon.
Season packs
Many lower division players are extremely dissatisfied with frequency of availability and content of the so called season packs. As many of you know, they are available couple times a year and contains a great amount of very temporary Cruise Missles and less temporary Big Bombs. In combination with Maverick pack, this means a break in hunting season for lower division players, as well as hit buyer cash river experiencing a very serious drought.
I, as a division 4 player, do not really care about this, but making our community better is a goal which I try to fulfill each and every day, so here are solutions I can proudly propose:
- encourage most popular script authors to introduce “Mute players below level 70 in your friends feed” button. Living in denial and ignoring problems usually is the easiest way.
- Plato could introduce sounds when someone drops a bomb. For example, every time someone drops a Cruise Missile, the game would play a clip from Justin Biebers song “Sorry” to every player who has made at least one hit in that battle/division. Big Bombs probably would require full playback of Elton Johns “Sorry seems to be the hardest word”.
So, once again the day has been saved. I feel like I have done my job and am happy knowing that now finally players will be able to sleep at night knowing that solutions for these problems have been found.
Also, as a side note, I am considering attempting going for Media Mogul medal, so I would appreciate if you could subscribe to my newspaper. Some very thoughtful and analytical content is about to be published here.
Thank you for your attention.

Your wish has come true
Your claims about the price of the tanks are correct, but in my opinion Plato is partly to blame for this, but most of the blame is on us and I'll explain it this way:
Houses: Homes in principle require a lot of work force, one house level 5 requires some work? 40 times people will work I think (100% bonuses without raw materials, estimate only, do not produce by myself), people produce lots and lots of houses, and consume, if the houses did not exist all this labor force was directed to weapons, The weapons, yes, the houses make us more work power, but they consume more, so in principle, they only take off the weapons.
The changes and people who did not take advantage of them:
In the past year there have been a lot of changes in the game in terms of countries and mechanics, the ability to see a jump in house prices and kisses after the occupation of the United States in which most of the weapons were concentrated and the sale of a lot of companies, another jump when the TW began between Croatia and Greece, where you have 2 channels daily, In addition, the recent changes in the resistance created a change in the areas of control, whether in the Pakistani territories held by Iran, and so on, which reduced production, all these circumstances, led to a drastic decline in production, rising demand and rising prices. , But if we were smart or we would have worked a little differently, Ham In today was completely different.

Subed!!!
Which size are available for tshirts ?
"When reaching Battalion 20, a pop up would appear giving them two options – restart their account or receive permanent ban and eRepublik t-shirt in color of their choice."
THIS ONE 😃
""But the logic behind this is that if I can`t afford to fight with weapons, no one should. "" so if you can't afford a Ferrari nobody should be able to buy one...
Exactly
Someone already studied for his communism module
maybe Plato will introduce Q8 weapon to solve the price spike in Q7 weapon lol...
so no one will ever wants to use Q7 weapon again
just subscribed s305 😃
If Biebers' song would be played for the one who dropped the bomb, there would be no bombing in lower divs any more 🙂
Q7 weapon factory costs fcking 1220 Gold.. It is like 524'000cc.. For today's prices of Q7 weapons you can finally brake even in 2-2.5 fricking years? No wonder noone is producing Q7 weps and those who are finally can earn some cc from them.. Free market baby! 😛 xD
2-2.5 years is pretty standard time for erepublik companies to pay off.
How about clipping the damage bonus per each Legend level (divide by 2 or 4) and perhaps setting the max strength at 250 000 or similar? Sounds more reasonable than implementing communism 😃
Awesome! 😃
Nice. Voted and subscribed.
"When reaching Battalion 20, a pop up would appear giving them two options – restart their account..."
Restart?!?
You are not serious.
I am not interested in restarting and beginning everything from the scratch, I'd rather quit the game definitely.
I've already spent too much time and too much real money to build what I posses now.
Other ideas you proposed are more or less interesting.
The WEP prices are indeed abnormal at the moment, currently it's better to fight without WEP than lose cc.
Can`t be more serious than I am. I see where you are coming from, I`ve spent quite a lot also, but if I had to choose between playing the game and ruining it with my ability to get a lot of free cc or quitting it and receiving free t-shirt in color of my choice, I think I would chose the later. Great problems require great sacrifices.
The game by itself is boring and not really interesting.
Normally, I wouldn't spend so much of my time and RL money on it, but because of the social aspect of the game, I am coming back each and every day like all others.
And even more, I am still buying these stupid packs.
The best and the most reasonable decision is to quit game permanently.
The time is money.
And the time spent here is lost RL money somewhere else.
eRepublik t-shirt in color of their choice.
Write more English articles, they are great! 😃
