Then why even bring it up if you already know it is not a problem?

The minute you cannot brute force character advancement on the stalls I will be concerned. At the moment no singular event in Salem seems to calculate out to higher than a 500s/hour grind rate (give or take) in our testing.

We have a few ideas for some very desirable store-bought items in the future that we are talking about adding as a 50K or 100K silver-type of thing that should re-stabalize the economy if vets seriously are shying away from it (which I doubt).

Scavenging things from other players does not count

.

Neither does items that are not injecting raw silver into the economy.

I see 18 savage charms. Meaning you put about 540 silver into the economy in that 1-1.5 hours. Which is as intended.

I've occasionally offered to trade an item only for another item, not for silver. It's been based on my needs at the time, not my opinion of the overall value of silver. I'm sure other players do the same, and that doesn't mean that silver is becoming worthless.

Also, we're not done adding things to Salem. There will be more silver sinks in the future, no need to try to rebalance the economy right now. I think it's been staying pretty stable considering the game is unfinished and changes almost constantly.

Agreed and you guys did a fantastic work balancing the economy compared to other games. A prime example would be Iron bars. Before the mining patch a single bar would sell for around 50s (give or take). When the patch hit, the prices raised to almost 200 (cheapest at the stalls at that time) for a few weeks before going down to... 50s.

You're just a fat greedy merchant who wants to get even richer at the expense of the little ones. Send your resume to Goldman Sachs.

If this is aimed at me you seem to need to put your reading glasses on.
