Another spiral rant: Why the economy doesn't work

So lately, been playing this backwards retarded game with Zach and Bitten, and i gotta rant a bit about it.

Sometimes, when I'm on spiral, I open the market window, and just stare at it for a minute or two.

Almost every time, You'll see people offering more than the top offer for CE, but instead of offering +1 crown, they'll offer +5/10/50/100.



The problem is, if it's not bought immediately, the next asshole to make an offer will top that one, and suddenly, bam! the next standard value for CE is that much higher.

The fags selling the CE are aware it's worth something and bargain for every ounce of it, the idiots with crowns just shovel it at the CE sellers like it's worthless, and then complain that they need more and more of it to get CE.

You get no advantage whatsoever from offering +10/50/100 than the top offer to buy CE, it's the exact same as offering +1, the difference is, you're not fucking up the entire economy for the free players community.

Personally, I only make offers lower than the top 5 to not contribute to the retarded inflation, but yea, lots of inbred fucktard people on that game, the economy will always get out of control for ANY excuse.

  2. I tend to quite easily explode when i rant about spiral.

    I don't plan to play much anymore, thanks for the offer though.

    what i tell people is that, the game has a nice concept, gameplay isn't bad, it's mostly the economy that is terrible.

    virtually everyone I recommended the game to, back in the day, quit cause of the player run economy. those who stayed all payed for CE, there's really no middle ground, which defeats the point of being F2P.

    lately i did an effort to play with bitten, zach and our friend pizzacat. but really, we'd just do a boss run, usually jelly king, and call it the day.

    everyday.

    i now have 2 5 star items, which i can't tell the difference from the 4star ones, no fun was had, and i feel like i wasted my time.

    Also, what do you aim for when you're like bitten have have full 5star equipment? even he doesn't quite know. this is the world's smallest mmo where the goal just seems to b "get 5star equips".

    Maybe I'm just bitter, i had high hopes for the game.
