Over the years as an experienced gamer coming from many different areas, it has come to my intention that player-run economies often give a better satisfaction to the experience it self. This however can't happen with the new price-floor update. When players lose the ability to run their own economy, the game usually dies off because it's lost one of it's unique and important features. I sincerely hope the game doesn't continue heading down this path in the future.
I do understand that there may be a struggle for money to pay off the employees and the server maintenance fees. Truthfully, some players have suggested much better alternatives to this update. And if those are still invalid, just find a more efficient way to maximize incomes, perhaps open the game to a bigger age group.
I just think this update needs to go before the whole community tears itself apart. |
