A Currency only works if you can buy things with it. If i cant use my silver to buy wares i want. Why would i sell wares i dont want for silver?
I don't see how increasing claim upkeep would solve the issue you have. I firmly believe you just need to increase your prices. Moreover remind yourself that what you are trying to buy are cash shop items, which mean real life currency. There is and will always be people that make a clear distinction between real life money and in game currency and will never accept to sell their items acquired through real life currency. In my opinion, real life currency and in game currency are closely related are both are bound to the same unit of value: time. If I can earn 500s/hour of play and I can earn 15$/hour at my job then what should I do if I need money? Then you of course need to take into account that the hour spent in the game might be more fun than the hour at work and that you can only spent so much time at work, etc. But it's all a matter of perspective.
The thing with claim upkeep too is that it is a way for the game to dump a part of the silver earned by players, as such silver is theoretically infinite and will only lead to an increase of price. But this way of balancing the economy is very artificial and needs to carefully balanced in itself in order to avoid cases like: John is a noob playing only 1 hour/day but he needs to play 2hour/day if I want to earn enough silver to pay his rent. John can't play that much so he quits the game.
You will always be at a disadvantage compared to the player who plays more than you. And increasing the money dump balance will only create a greater gap between you and them.
Well if you sell a prospectors pan for 5k id buy it. Now do you sell it? (it is 5x the price Heffernan pays for one, Should be in the range of its actual worth).
People in this thread seem to think im mad or something because i dont have enough silver to buy one. I dont see that as an issue at all. If i dont have enough for one id just gather up enough. My problem was strictly that ive been selling wares & services for silver which seems to only go down in worth.
