Market failure

In server 2, market has completely failed to function as a meaningful tool for active players. It's gone so bad that it has become a big contributing factor for many players to quit the game altogether. 

In order for players to level up, certain treasures r necessary. Normally, players would have a choice to buy the treasures with either coins or with haypi money, golds. Players can make money by selling resources they make or gain from battles. However, with the price of resources at 0.01, it's almost hopeless for many to make enough money to buy necessary treasures. Even if u have the money, there is no treasures to buy from the market except for nugget. N treasures that r put up cost maximum price. So in the end, players r forced to buy coins to get the treasures. The problem is not many players can afford to buy coins. Nor should they b forced to buy them. As a result, many ppl simply just quit. Having many inactives then contribute to low market price... U have created a bad cycle that feeding off each other. There will b no doubt in my mind this game will fail unless u do something about it. 

Support should provide n maintain steady number of treasures at max price. Giving players meaningful choice between buying it with coins instantly or work hard n save golds for them. Raise the resource price floor so that it would take reasonable time for players to make money. I like this game. But don't make me a quitter too.

Re: Market failure

People like to hoarde treasures, therefore the market is usually empty of expensive treasures. All you have to do is have patience and ask people in chat if anyone has a medal/scepter or anything you need and sometimes someone will sell you one. Many people need those treasures to lvl up but there are only a handful of them.
Hunting is one of the best ways to get money, sometimes money sometimes a treasure which you can sell at the npc or the market. Once you have mantained about 10000 gold every hunt you will be able to afford any treasure if patience is with you

Re: Market failure

You're right. It's weird though, server 3 has more crowns than medals and scepters combined

Re: Market failure

Aznrulez. U don't know what u r talking about. So u r saying ppl need to hunt for how many days to save money to buy 3 scepters? N who guarantees that ur hunt will not b zero? Btw. It's been weeks ppl saw a medal or a scepter on server2. My friend had to wait a month n over 200k points before he finally were able to lvl because his alli leader was able to get one.

Re: Market failure

I do not agree with haypi putting them in. If you absolutely need one just buy it with coins or build 10k+ inf and go hunting for it.

Re: Market failure

If there are so many inactives, that just makes it to where the market won't change. The market is based on the average prices sold. Many ppl either try to undercut to sell their stuff, try to take out the lower priced items to raise prices, or sell items at the max....all of which is in vain.

To restore market prices spam the market with higher priced items and then buy them. This is untested, but I know without a doubt that two things are correct. The market is based on average prices and it is based on sold items/resources.

Also, if all of your players are high leveled(server 2 so it's likely), then unless players are selling to npc's, the items exist....TONS OF THEM. The best way to raise the market is literally to spend more money on items and ignore/cancel low priced items. Sad thing is that the longer the market has been in it's sunken state, i believe it's going to be a lot harder to recover...

Re: Market failure

This is a huge concern for server 2 there are no tresures on the market (nuggets are on)but all others are not alot of ppl who have anyothers the chat is filled with people asking for reasoures and treasure in trade for prestige! There are also lots of spam adds.
