Silver & its deflation.

[Mr_Bellflower]

Raising claim costs does nothing. It is not, nor has it ever, been hard to gain silver. It is actually easier now as you can run an additional client doing nothing but auto-shifting for gold bars. The entire argument you are basing this on, the good old hasty generalization with a single person doing this to you, is a bad argument in general.

Go test 1,000 or 750 people and if they do this then we can take ti seriously. Until then the suggestion is simply off and incorrect. A majority, we're talking damn well near 75% to 90% of the active traders, will trade for silver. How do I know? I've traded with damn well near every single one through alternative accounts. You have had a single experience with this and it just so happened the person wanted an item. Going off, damn well near a red herring, and assuming this means silver is inflated is quite simply wrong.

This is why the economy is not, never really was unless you ask yourself who wants to waste a few thousand on silver through the shop (Unlikely.), inflated. You want a shop item; expect it to be a pain in the ass to obtain unless you pay for one in real money. That will get you one every time.

I left a purse with 500 silver in a stump last night and demanded JC turn it into a bear paw since silver is worthless now. It's still there.

Dock fight gambling. I'm calling it now as the number one way to sink silver. It'll be like heavy weight boxing in the late 1800s and early 1900s!

I support this idea. JC did say he wanted to add gambling to the game at some point.

I do not mind paying a huge amount of silver for a shop item. I wish there to be a reason to sell things for silver. If i can gain silver easy enough & the rare items that i actually have to buy from other players i need to trade items for.

And so far i still do not have the items i wished to buy. If you do not see the issue with this i dont know what to say

[Mr_Bellflower]

...then make a thread saying you are interested in buying? Some people will buy the pack simply to sell a part of it to you; simply because they can.

Economics: Its how **** works bud.

[NeiroShop]

My thread about buying one has been up for quite a long time.

I must say that making it harder for low end players to gain silver will stop them from enjoying the game. Putting high taxes on people with millions of silver, however, will sink more silver without making it harder for us.
If you say higher taxes, higher stake claim cost have nothing to do with the economy, you should check with the Treasury office in Providence.

[NeiroShop]

Could simply make the town taxes higher. Hermits without town claims shouldnt have an issue. Or after a certain area is claimed the claim tax increase.

Anyhow simply adding another gold sink for higher end players would probably solve the issue. (at least for a while)

[Mr_Bellflower]

***** it.

Salem: Communism The Game. No silver & no taxes without representation from our glorious communist- Wait, what's that Bob? Communism has not been invented yet!? Welp, that puts that idea on hold.

Onto topic.
How about we just raise stake claim to 500 silver to spite people then. That would produce more tears.

[hitori]

just disable NPC buying stalls for, say, 2 months

the only silver sources will be stumps\silver ore\item mall

[JohnCarver]

I highly doubt that silver has lost its 'value' and your experience with the singular player who no longer uses it as currency is not enough evidence that I should increase silver sinks.
