At 100:1 rate it would mean that a run at anything would be 90 times cheaper.
If it's already so hard to find nice mu items while hunting or good mu bp's while craft or even those rare resources imagining it with 90 times less markup.
Every thing near 100.01% markup?
100:1 like in pion?
It would mean your deposit lasts ten times longer, provided the loot formula remains the same.
Suppose you used to deposit $10 and usually blow it in a day. On higher levels, not hard to do. After the change it would last you a week, and then some.
So 10 days later you have converted all your PEDs to loot. 10 x more loot = 10 x more MU.
Looks like you moved the decimal the wrong way? Althou, it's not all so simple ofc. Both supply and demand would increase and nobody knows where exactly the market would balance out.
All this only makes sense if the loot formula won't change.
Also, all PEDs ingame should also be multiplied tenfold, obviously. Anything else would be theft.
It might lower the value of some high end items. Not as much as it might seem at the first glance. Consider the increased mass of PED ingame, rapid inflation is inevitable.
It would also significantly increase overall activity level. Existing players would spend more time online at bigger mobs/make longer mining runs, with bigger amps.
More people would join the game and retention rate would improve (game becomes affordable for a wider audience).
More people online creates positive feedback loop. People tend to feel better with other people not while walking alone in the ghost town.
The total turnover wouldn't immediately increase tenfold but it could grow closer to the same level as now over time, eventually maybe even surpass the current levels.
The advice to switch to the lower level mobs if cost to play is too high sounds nice. I've done that myself at times and I've recommended it to others but... we all know what's the problem with it. The game's specifically designed so that higher level mobs are more interesting to hunt. If your evade and HP allows you to hunt Spiders without effort but have to spend your days with Kerberos instead, it'll get embarrassing very fast. Might as well spend your time sweating...
If you happen to own a LA and/or large amount of CLD's you'll obviously preach us about the amazing beauty of high turnover. Would be foolish to expect anything else.
Relax, MA won't do it anyway. They've prolly already considered this option at some point but it's way too risky short term. And long time strategy... that doesn't sound like MA anyway.
