Hate me for it if you want but wasn't this what eu is about, having a chance to break even/profit??
Indeed. Doesn't it feel nice to know that there are players who withdraw some IRL cash in this universe? (still, the stories of little depositors withdrawing amounts like 100,000 $ have become extremely scarce -or did I miss something?-, compared to the first years of the game).
By the way, it's MA who has to encourage deposits. Since the markup on many items has fallen, including hunting skills and related, and MA not only does not seem to care, but encouraged that (give away of free skills during 2x/3x events, the 10,000 's series of Iron challenges, ...).
This topic is somewhat sensitive since MA needs more cash than usually this year.
Then why don't they (super easy/points 1 & 2 most important
):
1.
Sell the inventory of their avatar "Marcus Callender The Estate Broker": shops @Cape Corinth, Booths, Estates, ... There's plenty. That will encourage lots of deposits.
2.
Fix the damn storage (lags, having to scroll down, etc): less time spent there, is more time spent hunting etc, some more peds/h for MA. When I hunt one hour, I easily loose 5-10 minutes with the storage.
3. Rebalance the Molisks with much less regen: it used to be a good mob, especially for beginners, who are left with few choices (in 2007, we could choose to hunt so many different mobs with a Korss H400...). As a depo beginner nowadays, I'll just get bored.
4. Fix the horrid noise that laser riffles make (IR 41 etc): it's so horrible I am sure people make inconsciously some of their hunts shorter, it sounds like a spring, boing boing - geez
