Inflation due to VIP market
A H R
Over the past few weeks, we have seen a new update, which I think is better implemented in a different way. In my opinion, the best way to buy items was for people who are air fighters, for example, to sell their ground add-ons in the market, and ground fighters are the opposite of this.
But the recent update has not only caused us to reach these items too late -it may take almost a year to reach the last items-, but also caused a terrible increase in the raw materials of food and weapons. So that it is not logical that the price of weapons is only twice the price of raw materials, and there is nothing to say about the price of food compared to its raw materials.
I hope that Plato will make a serious decision about this irrational inflation before the price of weapon raw materials, such as food, overtakes the price of weapons.
Again, I suggest to design a market for selling items for players so that these items can be sold there.
Comments
Plato must have activated his market bot to scoop up the overproduction. I have yet to know anyone who is religiously buying up FRM to buy storage space at price that is way above what you can buy normally, or anyone who is in dire need of 50% boosters, as those you can get more than enough in Power Spin. The same thing applies to WRM, although there a partial factor could be that ton of Q7 factories were build, and the supply of WRM has yet to catch up.
ARMs? Ok, now we start talking, because I bought some in preparations for air boosters as well, and there is no doubt in my mind that plenty of players are doing that. Depending on how many 50% air boosters we will be able to purchase, it will change dynamics in air battles and air weapon market, because arguably the scarcest useful item will now become quite common. Since HRM are tied to the cost of work tickets as well, it is obvious that its prices will rise as well.
The question I have, is when Token Prices and Gold prices will follow the trend, as its highly unlikely that with so much cc being distributed to players they will remain unchanged.
I was genuinely surprised (years ago) when I noticed that some players would produce stuff without first doing the math. Basically not knowing if they generate profit, less profit (by producing raw themselves instead of buying it) or not at all profit (that is, loss). So I wouldn't be really surprised if people did buy storage with FRM instead of using CC, for instance (also, in the hype since introduction of VIP store, continuing to buy FRM/WRM? maybe?) Also, it doesn't help that Plato did not adjust the VIP store prices,as announced.
Yeah exactly. A lot of people just produce without calculation. Part of them are using AQ5s and Production for personal use… other part is just … crazy to not do the math xD
Plato list the VIP price for Storage as being at a 50% discount - which may have been true when the price was first set. So maybe folks see the 50% discount and don't bother doing the math.
Enough people won't do the math, who do you think kept producing FRM worth 5cc (when it was priced at ~1cc) , at a cost of over 30cc (work tax), and that multiplied by several companies every day? 🙂
I have 13k frm and 6k wrm, dont know how ahahahah
Incidentally, they calculate very precisely and are producing with cheap workers (if not free) and make a lot of profit.
Thank you for bringing it up. I was thinking about the recent economic changes today.
Well, looking at the bigger picture, i think the update has the potential to balance economy out. What was happening before it was the market, prices, supply / demand, were not balanced. So companies were not profitable etc.
The players were dictating the supply and demand of that market with the tools they had. It did not work.
So seems like they had to interfere themselves by trying to control the Raw Material supply and demand through the VIP Shop.
Plus, this is like a loyalty club addition that can encourage spending as well. Overall i think it’s positive if they use it the right way. And has the potential to balance the market.
Do you think the price of weapons or food is already balanced?
Depending on how you define balanced. If you work in your own weap/foos company, and produce your own raw for them, they are profitable, so yes. We can say that!
We don't say to this economy anymore. The economy you defined is also weaker than the economy of Robinson Cruzo.
I think it's a good thing, now they can make purchases with guns or CC or gold or anything else, they can create a market with this VIP, this store is a good thing.
I think it is better to provide conditions for the players to sell the useless items left in their warehouses in a new market.

THANKS ♥
Plato doesn't do much and he doesn't do it often, but one thing can be said and that's that he doesn't often fix shit he's fucked up.
this is the new economy, or whatever other brilliant modification comes around. this is how it's gonna be.

my bet, wrm will increase in 3 days
a lots of player will reach VIP lvl 5 and buy +9000 storage for 262 wrm / pcs
I mean wrm _price_ will increase
All will settle in a new state. Economies tend to do so.
How do you explain why wages are rising so much?
Is this really due to the fact that players are saving up work tickets (working out players) for the event Spring challenge? (Regarding the description of the last two of these events, there you need to collect tokens that can be spent on drawing prizes.)
Somehow I don’t believe this reason.
Don't you really see the cost of the goods is rising? The only criterion for increasing salaries is the increase in the cost of the home, and you see that both are increasing.
Another question.
If there are many companies, is there a simple way, for example, is it possible to remove the checkboxes for working in weapons companies, and leave the checkboxes for working in raw materials mining companies?
Or is there only one way left, namely to click on each production company?
I think thats it.. Check all, none, or individually the companies.. I'm not aware of anyway to select just certain types of factories or plants. There maybe a script out there that will do what you're looking for, but i dont know of one offhand and ofc 'use at your own risk' applies..
IF you WaM all your raw material plants and not your factories, the next day it keeps the same items checked as the day before for production.
Unless you use different holdings for them i guess.
This will increase the price of weapons and food.
imo, overall, its a good thing.. For newer players it gives them a chance to make some money WaM'ing WRM and/or FRM's,..
We have to admit that the number of multi -accounts is much higher than that of the newcomers.
multies are not an economical question.....agree support new players is important...
I answer to crvnazvezda.
Multi-accounts also an economic problem.
Since they can be used as hired workers at appropriate salaries.
Not to mention other sources of income.
bmo it is not (only) the VIP,
it is mainly hunt for workforce.
ooks like workforce is the biggest deal..there is not enough workforce on the market...
pragmatically check the
-job market
-q2 house market
they are the keys.
5500 x 7 = 38 500 USD
Q2 house = 46 000 USD
very close..maybe the closest in erep history
q2 house
Input data.
Location of production of houses on Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines.
The purchase price of raw materials for the house is 985 ss.
*-*-*-*
Salary 5300 (It’s me who’s working for another player now).
The cost price of the q2 house, if raw materials are bought on the market and the q2 house are made himself - 47161,14 сс
*-*-*-*
And the current highest salary offer on the market from strong players: 5450 cc.
Then these results:
The cost price of the q2 house, if raw materials are bought on the market and the q2 house are made himself - 47938,34 сс
*-*-*-*
Lowest price for a house p2 on the market:
- with tax (2😵 42989,79 сс
- clean 42129,99 сс
Current production costs are higher than current sales prices in the markets.
@Odonacer
new players and houses could induce new workforce.
q2 housa has importance from this point of view.
What makes people think the VIP market has any influence on the current prices?
I am thinking this is much more likely the result of Black Friday and everyone upgrading their companies to Q5 Food and Q7 weapons, thus driving raw material prices.
The same is happening every year.
usually 0-1-2-5-30 pcs. of Q7 weapon factories are on market at price 1107 golds.
now it is 2084 pcs. of Q7 weapon factories on market at price 1107 golds.
