Hello Everyone,
I am making this post becouse i think i may have finally figured out the structure of this game on a simplistic level, and wish to Share my information with the New comers to the game, and the undereducated.
From What i have Gathered from observation and Trial and Error Testing. I have come up with these ideas on thegame.
This game is far from gambling in any sense but one. Investing.
Investment is low Risk Gambling some may argue, but It is this Low Risk Investing that makes this game what it is. You may lose your PED while out mining or hunting, but does that mean you are getting nothing in return?
The answer is You are getting something Valuble while losing your PED, It is Skills. These Skills Allow you the player to become stronger allowing you to use better equipment, Or Perhaps even sell your skills to someone else, willing to buy them. Making Skills Very Valuble in itself, and cutting what seems to be Real money losses, to just a little loss in the long run.
Clothing has got to be one of the fine aspects of Asset Buying and investment. Becouse the Resale value of them, Armor Can also be a good asset also. Anything you can equip that has TT value is a Investable Asset.
positive Mark-ups also help value too. So if you ever wonder why people would shell out so much money on clothing, Well think of them as investing properly into the game and helping the economy out in the process.
*(L) limited items are mostly for Skill progression however and make poor Equipable investments, but skills have value as stated before.
Trading in this game Is The most profitable method of making money in this game, providing you are smart and adhere to the "Buy Low Sell High" rule. You are infact investing in someone's random loot and projecting a return on your investment. So if you want to make money with as little losses as possible, take this route, just trust me when i say Deposit and stick with solely Trading, until you feel you have enough gains. to take risks in other activitys.
When you make a deposit For the 1st time, Sure MindArk must take a small %. They need to be paid for providing the game to us. It gives us the oppertunity to play and invest in each others hard work. They also Get paid from the Decay of items, so everytime you goto the repair machine think of it as paying for the game. And there is no Fee for repairs other than the decay your items suffer. "Be fair Repair"
Other Things that come in the form of Fees, such as the auction house "AH" as i enjoy calling it. These Fees are for the loot pool. also buying ammo and using it up goes to the loot pool, and anything you TT to sell is loot pool items. Word of advice, Dont TT many items unless you absolutly have to. It is best to sell to a trader to get a little more PED from it. And let the Crafters Fail a Few times on those items to feed the loot pool even further.
Everything in this game is Investment based, So when you are running around without any PED at all, but you have Armor, weapons, clothing, or just a bunch of skills, that is ehere your PED went. and they are all Value.
Also Just so you know those valuble Items Can be taken to a Bank in game and used as collateral for a month long loan, to get some PED back into your pocket. you will have to pay a fee to get these items back, but its the best way of Temporary Selling, High Mark up items when you are in a pinch.
I am sure i can go on and on. but lets see what everyone has to Add onto, and or Call foul on.
