(Firstly, I'm not an english native speaker, so, sorry for my bad grammar.)
Really, if you are here just to say "stop whining" etc... just don't.
I'm not here to whine, but to expose facts (like they are in my opinion), and to propose an idea to change things. And no, I'm not asking MA to do anything about it.
Sweat prices are plummeting. Since a long time now, and it will continue this way if nothing is done. And yes, it is a problem, and I will try to explain why.
On one hand, the needs of sweat have lowered, maybe since there are vehicles, I don't know. On the other hand, the new VSE stuff makes autosweating very easy. Now, in some places like Nea's Place, I don't know really how much sweat is gathered every day, but my guess is 200'000K since many people have told me that they gather 500sweat/hour, and since I think that there are something like 20people/hour (sometimes 0, sometimes 40..), and I count 20h/day, so I think that I am underestimating.
My guess is that this is way higher than what is needed. This is why 2 monthes ago, you could sell your sweat for 2.2PED/K, and now it's difficult to reach 2PED/K, and in the future maybe, it will be difficult to attend 1.5/PED/K...
You could always answer that it is nothing but a problem, since sweating is free, etc... But in fact, I see a problem in the fact that sweaters could make the exact same amount of PED by spending less time sweating. If 120000K of sweat is sold every day, well.. 120000K of sweat is sold every day. You always can gather the double and sell it for half the price, but.. it's just half of the time lost.
This is where I think people could do something, and I'm speaking about really DOING something, not "telling to people to sweat less" or stuff, 'cause, off course, some people will continue to sweat all the time, and make more money, and it would not be fair. No, I'm thinking about preventing people from sweating.
This is difficult to attend alone, and this is where I need motivated people to join my cause. The main principle is to flood easy-sweat spots with mobs, and this works, it lowers considerably the amount of sweat gathered by hour! The thing is that we need to be organized, to take shifts, and to spend some time doing that. The more we are, the little time is needed; and if we are enough, doing that and sweating will take less time than just sweating, for the same amount of PED earned, if you followed the whole explanation.
Now, some people say that sweat could not be sold higher than 2.5PED/K, because of the price of the mind essence. This is a nonsense, since the thing works the other way ! Not regarding the price of the sweat, there will always be someone trying to make a fast and little profit in crafting ME. The price of the sweat sets the price of the ME, not the opposite, so it won't be a problem.
Finally : I don't want to be a pain in the ass, and I'm not wanting to do that to have fun. But people don't want to be helped, they don't want to stop underselling their sweat, so, doing something like that is, in my opinion, the only way to help them, and help all the sweaters, even those who just want to make more profit than the others, even if it's ridiculously low. (maybe that for those, I want to be a pain in the ass)
Well, I'm done. If you are a sweater and if you want to make a change, if you want to help me beginning to really DO something about what I call the "sweat problem", join me ! If you want to continue spending 4hours to earn less than 2PED, well, just continue to do it ! And even if you are a non-sweater, you can join me anyway
