yes they have control over almost everything in EU.. and its not strange at all.. they are god.. they decide when and where and what dropps.. but they dont decide the MU of items.. the traders does
And MA started the crash. One and only. It is human nature to panick and sell up stock if a situation changes for the worse. But this change in the amount of items was a decision by a human being in an office. In my opinion it's just wrong. There shouldn't be anybody playing god with real money, the role of politicians irl and national banks are to keep the economy stable and their money at a high value. The only ones that don't do this are the corrupt ones who don't care about their people. If you would like to compare this way then there is your answer - MA is a corrupt (virtual) government. Take Zimbabwe as an example, corruption in their leadership caused their currency to become worth less than 50 pence for 10 billion zimbabwean dollars.
Now to everybody who is saying "the trader decides the price" and let me make this point very clear.
A baker in Zimbabwe has the ability to sell his bread at any price he wants to. But he has to keep up with the economy so if he wants to make 20p for a loaf he would sell at 4 billion zimbabwean dollars. If the currency is worth less then he HAS to sell for more if he wants to make enough money to buy grain to make another loaf. Now this would be slightly different in EU since its items not currency but the concept is the same. To keep up with the market crafters have to bring their price down as amounts go up to keep a balance.
If suddenly thousands of choppers flooded into the market, there is suddenly more of this item 'currency' which devalues it all. Once again, in the Zimbabwe situation i'd be able to get more money for fewer items, in EU it's more items for fewer money but it works the same.
Because there are more it means it is harder for crafters to sell them. This is what makes the price drop by a hundred or so peds each time a new auction is made. Crafters could still sell at the higher price but they wouldn't make the sales and only because of the increased numbers introduced by MA. MA know the market prices, they know what will happen to prices depending on how they run things. It is 100% the fault of MindArk for this price drop.
If you're suggesting that crafters could have created an agreement not to sell lower than a certain price then this is actually illegal so no the crafters have no power over competition.

Oh and just to add on:
When there is going to be a change in real life it is announced often months and sometimes years before it happens. This gives people time to make the sales they need and is fair for everyone. The situation with MindArk is that these things happen instantly with no warning whatsoever.
The real life situation here means people can plan, people who want to wait the extra months get the lower price and people who want them now have the opportunity to still pay more. The price decreases at a slower rate and people will know in advance. The prices won't crash at speed in this situation because the current owners in majority aren't the crafters competing with eachother and are current owners who would want their money back or to keep their vehicle during the no-drop month.
if they were realy worth 2000 ped or more the price would have stayed there
the price drop because no one wanted to buy them at 2000 peds
for me i wouldnt pay 2000 ped for a choper than it will be gone later on they were made for PVP decay
do you think MA make more money poeple selling at 2000 or 500 peds there more poeple are going to used them at lower value and going to mount gun on them
the only complaint are the poeple that baught them at high price and the poeple that taught they strike it rich whit the bp
the way i see it here
poeple only want a limited supply send a message to ma to only make 20 of them the stop making them
This is completely wrong. I barely saw any gungnirs on auction for more than a day at a time before the massive influx. They sold easily, it's just people like you who wouldn't buy at that price and so assume others wouldn't.
>>>> Money DOESN'T grown on trees. And it also DOESN'T in Entropia.
If things appeared out of thin air in the real world then NOTHING would have a value.
These items literally appeared out of thin air and only retain some value because they aren't in unlimited quantities.
and just to know , how many of your over 7k posts are complaining xD ?
