SOME OF THE PROBLEMS

Gold Limit
I am trying to get market licenses, but I can only get 10 gold a day.I know at the moment it is rare to get 10 gold a day because of the price still right now to get all of the licenses it would take me at least 128 days to get all of the licenses considering I had the money.(Which brings me to my nexst topic)
Country taxes
Governments are one of the most confusing parts of this game. On the outside it looks simple but if you get deeper it doesn't make any sense, there are no places that actually show who the congressmen are. And presidents are basically the same as congressmen but with a bigger ego.
Item Prices
They are caused by supply and demand, governments, and who could forget. Plato.
Everyone knows how supply and demand works(If you don't flip on the news and look at gas prices).
However not everyone knows governments cause. They set the taxes which decide who can sell. Small countrys who have high taxes are going to lose, big countries who have low taxes are going to have lots of inflation and a surplus of market items.
Don't be an eUSA be a smart country
Lastly who could be a bigger market player than Plato
I have seen the highs and lows of the markets, countries get slaughtered and other countries at peace but lately Plato has been on everyone's nerves
If you look at the market prices that were 0.50 a few months ago are now 0.06.
Here are some ideas on how to get Plato the message:
1. Unfriend him(Do you really want him as a friend anyway)
2. Sell at higher prices this will give you more profit, if everyone does this it will balance most of the problems out
3. Don't be afraid to right articles about him I have 2 forfeit points both of which I have no idea of how I got.

If you know supply and demand, you should know Say's law. Selling at a higher price goes against this. You don't want the items that you sell to be stuck on the market. You want currency in your account, so you can put it to work. To get the currency quicker, you have to sell at a lower price.
voted, but Clarissa makes more sense. I like your attitude, though, so subbed also.
plato needs to fix the economy already >.> the "bot" doesnt seem to be doing anything
economy needs to be fixed, because it is getting hard to turn profits in companies.
i produce 26.000 raw units per day and selling them for higher price than marketprice is possible
if you have licences for countries where the bot is active. you can even buy cheap stuff were you live and sell it elsewhere to the bot and make profit...
thats why im asking you: why would you want licences for all countries? if you sell in places where the bot isnt active you will be killed by taxes in 9/10 cases (even if they are low).

we have managerworking you know? it doesnt cost much to buy you enough companies so you can produce all you need regarding food. and weapons can be bought with money its not that expensive.
new products wont change a thing - the problem is managerworking
because with new products you will just built some companies more - and nothing changes

well i have just workers for my 2 q5-companies and in V1 i had like 4 or 5 companies with 20?workers each back then and i never had problems to find workers at all.
and with manager-working gone most companies will be disolved anyway because they dont bring profit (at least the over9000 q4-raw-comps)
It is obvious you don't understand economics when you say this: "2. Sell at higher prices this will give you more profit, if everyone does this it will balance most of the problems out"
Everyone will not do it. As long as they can make a profit at 5 cents (and they can) then they will sell at 5 cents unless stronger demand moves equilibrium prices higher. We have too much supply and/or not enough to demand and that is why prices keep falling.

sorry for posting inbetween.
does anyone know why we even got the manager-working?
i heard the whole change with all companies managed in one account etc was to make it easier for newbies to manage companies ... but why manager-working?
its not like there were to few products on market before.
or is the manager-workings aim producing surplus + creating the bot as '3rd party-demand-thingy' just part of the erepublik as 'economic-simulation of RL' aim the admins have
.. and at the moment they are just simulating the economical downfall with 3rd party demand falling to zero?
well in V1 i think every worker produced more than he needed so there was no shortage of products too
+ it was even profitable to hirer in low quality companies
at least i had workers in q1 house and q1 & q2weapon if i remember correctly
and problems with enough workers were in small countries like north korea or so because they had just 25 active player

"Now that we do not have these to build anymore may have help increase the surplus of raw materials"
well i think with v1 to rising to now we lost many old players too (who had probably many companies and money). but yeah from house, gift, defence, hospital, food, weapon and tickets (and 5?raws) to now just food and weapon (and 2raws)
its a shame
the reason admin added manager working in many companies is simple... selling gold for real money... if i have to buy more companies to increase my income the likely hood that i'll be too impatient to save (because i was probably to shitty at this game to save up in the first place) goes up drastically. now everybody thats old or a gold buyer is not only self sufficient but massively over productive. gold sales go down. now we get more upgrades in quality, constant sales and offers an......
of course massive deflation forcing players to be left behind if they dont buy gold.
admin is desperate and is making the same mistakes the american auto companies made. instead of listening to customers they are trying to tell us what ro like.
only problem for admin is there will be no government bailout for them... so if they loose to much its just game over...

hmm but i at least have 6 companies (+6old q5 raw) with gold bought and the rest is all raw q4-bought with currency because its not worth to change it into gold and also payd with gold i traded to currency because currency is cheap... it was like 5gold (one achievement)= 1 q4 company
and back then i made ~90cc/raw company every day with 90 companies in the end i could have bought a new comp every day...
well now thats not the case because raw is not worth 0.3cc or more but 0.07cc.
its true for production companies you need to buy gold from admin
or youre lucky and sell a cheap upgraded company you have and buy 2new ones with the money until you reach q5 or q6... (thats my way of doing things here)
but for raw-companies you dont really need to buy gold you need to invest your achievement-gold
but with exchange-rate gold-cc + new achievements you can have many companies really fast
Here's a list of all the congressmen: http://www.erepublik.com/en/elections/country-24-election-congress-date-2012-05-region-0/1
eisenmutter2 you just proved what i'm saying. once upon a time it was easy to float thru not buying gold from admin. but every month that is made harder and harder for the sole purpose of increasing real money transactions.
this game is designed to be addictive not fun. thats why its hard to get your friends interested.

i just will wait for the day everything get better, then i will finally sell all my currency and make big profit...
before they shut down the bot or let him be on very low level it was a goldmine. so i wont complain (too loud) when there is now the time i wont have loads of money but just enough. i dont use all trainings-booster and doing it is senseless because i will never catch up to older players.
i have time and will just wait till they drop and the economy is booming again.
(maybe i will go down before though...)
