I don’t know why you are quoting my name but with someone elses post attached.
Anyway.
What would happen is that when you inject coins into the economy… gold isn’t going to inflate, but it will deflate
In my post, to which you replied but then quoted some other guy, i wrote:
All you did was say it will also inject money into the economy, which causes large and unpredictable amounts of gold inflation, which just messes up the economy, which sucks…
That is factually correct. Introducing more of any currency causes inflation. I.e. that currency loses value, which causes the purchasing power of that currency to go down.
Because the amount of introduced gold depends on how many bonds are bought on a given day the inflation rate is unpredictable, especially considering the limited server size.
“WoW tokens are easily one of the WoW community’s favorite addition to the game and I know for a fact A LOT of New World players would love it too.”
what the hell are you talking about? WoW tokens literally ruined WoW (amongst other things), a lot of people hate it and cancelled their subscriptions because of it.
Please GOD NO! A in game token to spend real money for in game gold is not the route to take. It then becomes pay to win and will run the game into the ground just as WoW is doing. I want this game to thrive and just because you are too lazy to play to obtain gold is not the games fault.
Wow is a game made easy to kids it was made by Everquest devs and made just like eq but easy and they target kids with commercials so no they will not made this like wow if you don’t like it go back to wow
All and all you understood what I was trying to say. The biggest issue with that is that there is not many ways to generate coins into the economy right now.
) Quests - they are limited. Especially when it comes down to story and side quests.
) Hunting monsters.
) Expeditions.
) Ruling a territory - bring some coins back into the economy, however it’s has a narrow path of distribution towards small group of players.
So essentially what would inflation leads to : Not what in general would lead to. Not every material or service in this game can survive an inflation. Take for example running expeditions - the only way it’s possible to do expeditions right now it’s because the raw goods invested into a Tuning orb is no that high. That allows players to run expeditions and generate coins that way. What would happen if alchemy motes go up in price due to inflation? That would be a huge problem… because the net coins you get from an expedition is FIXED amount. That means it would not be reflecting the inflation situation at all. And if you reach a point where it would be e no go, to make an orb and run expeditions with your friends because of expensive materials while expecting the same amount of X coins as a reward from it… Well guess what people stop doing expeditions as one of the prime coin generating mechanic in the game → Even less and less value for in-game coin generation which will lead to heavily dependent economy on unpredictable coin injection… I mean do we really want the entire economy to be controlled by unpredictable and uncontrollable shady operations?
the guy is a real joke he wants to be able to pay real money to buy gold but he got his friend banned a few days ago because he actually bought gold with irl money, THIS GUY HAS TO BE A TROLL
otherwise I’ve just never seen such a coward/dumb*ss in my lifetime
That is why I told the guy I think you were really trying to argue with that allowing people to generate gold in exchange for real money is, despite having nothing to do with my original point, a terrible idea that messes up the ingame economy.
It wouldn’t eliminate bots. It would only lower their price to just 10% less than the proposed token. The solution is to remove bots altogether and make gold selling such a cumbersome operation it becomes impossible to sustain even in 3rd world countries.
It’s a very bad idea to suggest to a company on monetization systems that affect gameplay. It shows consumer intention and if a big honcho sees it, it’ll get shoehorned in.
For now AGS has only done cosmetic and that’s fine.
not all bots are gold seller you know? Some of them bot for themselves. There will still have bots. Lots of them. They can make a account so fed with gears and high trade skills with bot money, and then sell accounts too.
