Price reductions and their market effects

Dear GM
I understand the need to "downsize" SC and the need for price reductions. I even agree on principle that this is a right direction. BUT this prolonged bit by bit reduction in prices is killing the market because everyone (including yours trully) simply refuse to invest in any goods, weapons, ammo etc. other than the absolutely necessary to keep countries running, because we know for a fact that next day or next week it WILL be cheaper. This is economics 1.0.1.

Furthermore, anyone in their right minds will try and dump anything they don't need right now on the market to avoid losing money. This the effect of constantly reducing goods and commodities' prices while (effectively) increasing the value of cash. Something must be done about it because many countries/CEOs that weren't so well off to begin with will soon go under. Just my 0.02$

I second this

I agree.

ditto. Especially the ongoing problem with High tech services on KB.

Yes I agree also my empire has been running massive debts and I feel this is y

I dont think the main problem here is the reduction but the changing output-numbers of corps. I can't remember that it's been said the Corps and Countries now also use up more resources, so there's just a big increase in supply while not in demand, correct me if I'm misstaken.

And dont know about the Players that 'haven't' been too well of from the start, but on KB I see some stablished econ players like myself seeing their FI tanking, would really like to know where the statement 'increased FI need for Game Level due to generally increased FI' comes from ^^

I have seen large decreases in FI as well, with no real justification as to why.

Of course everyone is worse off. My Financial Indexes have taken serious hits both in KB and in LU. Air Transport, Electric Power, High Tech Services and Softwre (and to a lesser extent Services) corporations are constantly taking heavy damages in all worlds I'm aware of (which is all worlds except for WG).

Anyone can confirm or falsify if there hasn't been an increase in demand of products in Corps/Countries when the Output was increased?

Yes, I have dropped from level 10 to 7 I was on the verge of getting back to 11, and the only thing dropping is my FI, profits are good, Assets good etc., just FI dropping...
