This is a conspiracy. Merchants everywhere has bought, and raised prices on almost every item we Maplers need. Glove ATK scrolls are been TRIPLED their original price due to someone buying, and inflating the prices due to their selfishness to gain a few extra mesos. Ores, and other Crystals have been QUADRUPLED due to the maker skill that is coming soon. We cant even buy a decent ATK wg anymore due to this problem. The solution? My idea is that if noone buys the equipment, no money for the merchants. So how about for a short period of time, make sure NOONE buys anything from the FM. The plan sounds small at first, but if people put much consideration into this plan, prices might go down! I am, and other people are very enraged about this horrible event, and hope to look for a cure. Discuss pl0x.

My opinion EVERYONE take a break from maple. Maybe like a week or so. Merchants will be wondering whats going on. So maybe they'll lower prices. WE NEED TO SAVE MAPLE. This is like the 2012 for MS. We need to do something.

Wow... my essay said ALL THIS AND MUCH MUCH MORE and even clearer too. And more in depth. Did nobody read it? I posted it earlier today. Please read the intelligent threads before trying to make your own.

Also, maple economics are not in conjunction with real life economics because there is a potentially infinite amount of money which could drive prices up infinitely high. Imaging one person was holding about 5 trillion mesos at a time when all prices were down. And it is spent and diversified to many people after a time of mass consumerism. People notice that all of their stuff has been bought and take notice of all the excess buying, then they raise their prices to a much greater degree in no real direct accordance to the amount of money pumped into the public but the idea is relevant.

I think there are too many mesos in circulation right now. What we need is higher taxes and a reduction in the amount of mesos dropped from monsters. This will make mesos worth more and thus lowering prices.

All I am trying to say, is that we need to make a change to save the MapleStory Economy. So, if you may, please think about a different viewpoint before judging someone else. *OT: Can you believe 3 Years ago none of this mattered? :I

How about this. A sell-out. This problem was caused by mostly FM-King guilds. Therefore, we sell our items for a ridiculously high price, they buy out all of FM, and then we don't buy anything. It might suspend or even end the era of the damage hoars, but that might be a good thing. If everyone can do it, then everyone can make some money, too, and only FM-Kings lose anything. Of course, sell-out as in selling your rare, useless items. And then stop selling, even if you find more.

I like this plan, but the problem is, like someone in this thread posted originally, is that maybe everyone WONT follow up with this plan, and be very selfish. But, another problem with this is that Many FM-Merchants do not buy items for a high price, heck, they don't even buy it for an average price. They always try to find it as low as possible.

Its not just them, its we the people who sell our items to them. Everyone is to blame. Don't say no not me, it leads back to you in some way. I guess my real hope can only be put into nexon... If only they lowered the price of meso bags. At least they're trying to help... in a very stingy way :/
