| First and foremost. If you raise leech prices to compensate for the inflation or the fact that you are in reality earning $1/hour playing this game. Think again. I'm only earning "x" amount of cash/hour You, are playing a game. A game in which you choose to play. For example, I don't complain that I don't earn "x" amount of money playing badminton every hour. It's a hobby, hobbies don't earn much. If you want a well paying thing to do, get a job. They usually extend up to at least $6/hour. That's earning over 150m an hour if you cash in on a game site. The fact of the matter is you don't play MapleStory to earn money, and if you do, well you just have a very mislead life Sure, earning 10m an hour is great. It's like saying, yay, I won a $2 cheeseburger voucher for playing for my badminton club. But in the end of the day. If you bump yourselves up from $1/hour ->$2/hour. It's not going to make a huge -insert profanity here- difference. What it will do is this-... The economy Yes, it is inflating. For many people who don't know. It happens every summer . It's just this summer some outside websites have made it worse. If you increase leech prices, you are playing into their hands. You are making the economy worse. Not better. Why? BF leech prices have risen? Apple prices have risen, simple as that. In fact, most BF leechers that don't use apples, haven't increased their prices Demand will always be higher than supply Correct, that is YOUR fatal flaw. And here's why-... We need this money, it'll help us buy our equips You think this will help you buy your equips? Let's take for example normal prices: 10m/hour skeles. You are working towards Gen30 - 300m. Now that's 30 hours of leeching. New prices, 20m/hour, Gen30 rises in price. There is only around 1 Gen30 floating in Broa's market at one time. With all these new bishops with cash. It could easily rise to well over a billion. In result, 50 hours of leeching. You have hurt yourself. Not only Gen30, but ALL mage equips. So I'll make a non mage class Once again, it won't work. Don't you think other mages will do that too? Are you going to TRAIN your non-mage class or leech it? If you leech it, the wheel hits you again. If you train it, you can not escape the grasp that when you buy equips. They will have inflated. Why you ask? Because you aren't special. If you can think of it. So can other people, if you have decided to make a non mage class. Other mages will have too. Simple as that. So in the long run, the constant of the market will balance your leech out with the overall market prices. It will always be a set percentage. And the downside? Not only when you increase prices do other prices rise, you also lose clients. Maybe not a whole heck more. But you do. So therefore you are idealing earning the same % relative towards something you want with less clients. Furthermore, if you do try to lower your prices after the miserable failure. You'll have a hard time finding clients, trust me. People buy o |
