Well heya there maplers. As evryone noticed (and if u didnt I suggest u go to FM and get urself a heart attack), prices are reaching unbelievable limits. But the real question here is why ? Maple is gettin so real and related to real life that it has it's own economy issues? Or mebe was just a mad merchant that wanted to mess with our happy maple-bubble world? Some people said it was a dude from Bera that caused this, no offense but... WHY U BERA PEOPLES MESSED UP OUR HAPPYNESS D; Certainly I dont know what's really happening and as a Broa user, I would like to share some ideas to you peoples.... 1) First of all, save ur cash. Scrolls, items, EVRYTHING is gettin overpriced as I keep typing this thread. The most clear example, Gloves for Attack 60% (GFA) were aroun 4~5.5m TOPS. Now I've seen in my world not less than 15m! How the deuce u explain this is happening? I mean, we have passed thru inflation before but this is gettin critical lmao... Claw atk 30% is 50m now. Sins are really messed up lol. And this is a more funny fact. Since evryone know, bandit branch (rogue-bandit-chief bandit-shadower) isn't as common as before, but inflation still hits them! Dagger 30% was no more than 8m (since nobody actually bought them), but yesterday I saw posted for around 17m and one sold for 18m! Weren't dits ruined up already? Why u get it against that poor class D; ya that includes me since I quitted this char. Theres not such thing as "Dit pride lets all keep wasting time and money for a no future in Maple". 2) Second thing, go do quests that give GFA scrolls. It's certainly an easy way to make a lot of money. Yay lets take advantage of the inflation <3 3) Third thing, which I consider the most important one, haven't you think about taking a break? Welll certainly I have and it's wut imma do for now. Sell ALL my stuff and take some small vacations until this economical issue slows down. Well I just hope this thing gets over soon. I was thinking about quittin until I decided to start a paladin (dont start another hero-paladin thread/comment plz), but when evrything seemed to be just fine... POOF the market booms up and turns into a lame place to be. I think this is pretty much what I was planning to say. Why? Cuz I am mad bored and I wanted to express my feelings towards the current situation our Maple World (yes that sounds lame) is facing. I expect some flaming and some other recommendations from good peopl as well that wanna share ideas on how facing this issue. Thx a lot for your time. NiCo

Usually maple shields were like 30-35m, but suddenly merchants started buying mshields like crazy and started to sell for 50-60m, it didn't work, everyone stop buying maple shields , regular players forced merchants to lower prices, now shields went back to 30-35m lol. Their plan got backfired If you guys stop buying overpriced scrolls, you'll force merchants to lower prices.

Prices in Kradia are still relatively stable. For once I'm glad it's so dead.

Diputeibol said: " If you guys stop buying overpriced scrolls, you'll force merchants to lower prices." Exactly, its not because of this site thats selling mesos for such a cheap price, its not because of merchants selling for high prices, its because we are giving in and buying, which shows these people that their new rates are working, raising the prices even higher! we need to cut back and stop buying all the overpriced items and by our own force return the economy to what it was, if someone offers u 15m for a gfa just stick it out and refuse there offer! its the only way the economy will return to what it was a few weeks ago, by us choosing to return it to its original state by showing these meso generators and merchants that they can keep their overpriced items, because we dont need them THAT badly

IMO... 1. it's summer.. so most maplers can play more time (compared in school days).. 2. i bet these sellers in fm who has (most of) stores are the same people who sells meso for dollars... since they are running low in meso to sell, the best option for them is to make the items in fm inflates.. in this way, those maplers who wants to scroll items or buy godly items will pay more meso.. and when they pay more, they (FM sellers) will get more more meso.. and when they have enough meso, they can sell more meso for dollars... in the end, the one who buys meso for dollars is the loser.. 3. they are greedy (as if meso is a real cash).. well, this is just my opinion..
