Many of the items, especially the pills just don't make sense with their current pricing.

Many should be moved to a new category with a new lower type of token as to not mess with the current gold token pricing.

This would be winwin by making gold token more worthwhile if you add some new items for it, while shifting the less valuable items to a new token, getting you more tokens/ped spent in the store and also helping lower level players at the same time.
 
Pills make perfect sense. It's the playerbase that made the MU on all (mayhem) vendor items based on pill price and MA wants a cut, it's very simple.
Instead of the player getting 0.7 PED per mayhem token, the player gets like 0.7 PED per Gold Fen Token. You say this doesn't make much sense? :)

Pills have always been a thing you buy yourself with extra tokens rather than buying from players who bought from the npc.

What's different? OK, you don't buy and you don't sell but it's the same thing, just that this time MA is taking a share from the MU, as TT. And why do you say "always", these pills are not even 1 year old :D
This event MA becomes a sort of a participant that tries to sell some items with a certain fixed MU and, like the recent webshop sales, they might not have played the best card they could, but, it's definitely an interesting perspective and a step in a good direction for them as well.
 
Without the potential to profit via markup this game is just an online casino with fancy graphics.

Over the past couple of years MA have removed markup at every available point. Now they have decided to charge markup on 'prizes', on-top of their percentage cut from all the hunting needed to buy those 'prizes'.

I would say this action will spell the end for the game, but with morons willing to pay 10kped+ for an SB-10 FEN they'll probably have enough suckers to keep them going.

I will disagree that they have removed markup at every point. They have just divided up the potential markup among many people instead of giving it to single individuals. Be it the shrooms or tokens, I welcome that move as we have always complained of handful people getting all the stuff and this seems like a good direction.

As to your point about markup on prizes, the trend has been there for a while. The resto chips are what come to my mind of things already in game for a while which had markup built into its acquisition cost.

You contradict your very point of the end of the game by the fact that people are still willing to pay 10k+ for SB-10. So i guess i do not need to debate that.

Its one thing to speak of one's opinion and totally another to call others moron's for making a choice which you do not agree with.
 
It's not an opinion that 10kped+ for sb-10 FEN is moronic, it's fact :)
 
Well they cant be removing all markup and then creating an item such as sb-10 which creates 20k mu for players based off your numbers. (obv flawed thinking here as well but point stands) can they?

Toeksn start high with original items, as they get sold out price drops allowing you to get the worse items (lookin at you sb10) cheaper and once all items are gone they add another wave, maybe there will be better or maybe it will be male havoc thong, thats the informed choice (gamble) you have to take when deciding what to do with your peds and tokens i think its a really fun and well designed event though im going off topic here, i ofc think gold tokens would have functioned much better at 1pec
 
It's not the U items that bother me. Sure, it's scummy to not only take a cut of all that additional hunting but to ask for 6000tt of tokens (and even the tt of the fap :laugh:) for a 'prize' but the items are unlimted and I can live with that.

But to charge a huge markup on L items is simply BS, especially when they're the only 'prizes' that the less skilled and the players with lower ped cards can get.

exactly. there is practially no event ongoing for people who just arent rich enough IRL to permanently hunt lvl 50+ mobs or those who are not yet skilled enough.
 
It wont happen but a conversion would be good 1-10, 1-20, 1-30 platinum for gold. That sort of thing.

18k gold trades in for 6k platinum

Fingeres croseed for second wave of items for us noobs

Yea but that's the direction MA wants to take. They aren't trying to retain new players, they are trying to keep their whales happy, which certainly makes sense from a business perspective. Looter profession is a good example - punish new/casual players right off the bat, but a new whale will just spend right through it anyway.

And it's obviously working since in any of these threads you always see outcry from the plebes, but with the whales saying "nah, everything is great, y'all just need to spend more/grind more".
 
Being able to set anything with 1 pec or 0 pec tokens would be a fantastic bonus. Just give us 0 pec pills or anything, then we can make mu from it. Make us farm tens of thousands of untradeable 0 pec tokens for a single pill even, just make something that isn't paying you MU for the lower level players.

You guys make it really hard to bring new players into the game and it's hurting my affiliate income. :(
 
Drop silver tokens of 1 pec with the mayhem tokens during november mayhem so we can get 2 tokens for double the tokens during the mayhem in november so we can get more vendor items and more vendors and more and more and more
