The Direct Trading Issue with the new law layed down....

See, what you think most would miss guys, is one, they are putting a cap on the market price, as we cannot list them for what we used to be able to between 30-40B above and below the market value aka , we will never be able to move the market price again. which doesnt make it much of a market, or a market price if its been set, by the gold coins that came from thin air...

Clearly, if you arent going to be supplying the people with GC, those without are going to be willing to pay more for GC..so its time for them to go back up to 350B per GC, either that or continue the suppliment to the market, otherwise, in one way or another, people will be livid. I couldnt care less but the issue of that, is I have all these coins I could be selling at a higher price now that the market is ' IN HIGH DEMAND ' not that ya know, supply and demand have anything to do with econ or anything :P but no..cant list them for higher than 79 or lower than 73. pfft.

I wrote about this all last week 8 threads to be exact on this very issue, your late to the party. Look at gold coin solution and every thread last week on gold coins.

No im not, since my vote counts 3 times yours :P

CALL ME LATE AGAIN lol :P

Enough of this. I'm bored of b**ching. WildEyes believes the 3 word story is pointless, yet all she can offer is more whining. Once more- half the reason people are leaving this game is because other players have created a culture which greatly exaggerates the negative feeling towards this game and its gamemasters.

May I just remind you all this is a game. Nothing more.

That was good!!

Now, now, chilluns...
@Wild: I also have advocated this course a few times, and still cannot figure out why there is such resistance toward this solution. As you pointed out, the whole entire point is supply and demand. One other solution (albeit probably unrealistic) is for all of us as players to agree that GC price is 100B and set that as our standard for trade amongst ourselves. This would at least facilitate player-to-player trading so we can get on with business instead of spending our gaming time trying to track down elusive GCs I am currently using this method with another player, and so far it seems equitable for both of us. I invite comment, or other ideas.
@ Tom M: I really enjoy the three-word and four-word stories; sure, they won't build me a corp, but it is one of the "fun" activities here. But I have to say that I disagree that players are leaving because of the culture of negativity toward the GMs. They are proba

I'm going to weigh in on the GC debate for a moment, then tune out...

I've been waiting for people to buy my cash for GCs for over a week now. Obviously supply and demand is way out of tinker at the moment. I would like to see the GMs allow the market to be let loose for a little while, to see in which direction it goes. It's no use pegging GC value at $76B if GC sellers believe that their actual value is north of $100B- the system will not work and that has been proven by the current situation of massive sales of game money but no real demand.

Furthermore, the ability to make game cash without the need to necessarily buy it or win it makes its value far less than something which cannot be produced, such as Gold Coins. Game cash is not used to purchase population, space stations, or anything that would give people an incentive to buy the currency for GCs. This means that unless the GameMasters make space trading a market based

+1

"No im not, since my vote counts 3 times yours :P" (the fake) Wildeyes

I think you have grand delusions in your head that you are the 'real' Wildeyes.

Far from it.

You seem to think much more of yourself than most players do.

And by the way, YOU ARE LATE. This crap has been going on for at least a couple of weeks.

Your statements are in fact a re-run. Keep up, or shut up.
