Yes, you read that correctly!
With the USD rapidly falling beyond the All Time Low, Mindark will have to make a tough decision on a boat taking in water.
What is the problem;
You deposited your PED at say a value of 1USD/10PED, but now, your original 1 USD is worth around 12 PED.
So, if you withdraw 10k PED that you deposited a few months ago, you will actually have to withdraw 12k PED now to get the same value. That is bad for you, but good for Mindark. I am sure they feel the difference already.
But, there is also the problem!
When the Dollar finally starts climbing up again, pretend Bush finally says something more clever than the usual garbadge, the stocks may go up, and so the Dollar will rise.. But that means you will be gaining more on a withdraw that you deposit now.. Good for you, but bad for Mindark.
If Mindark has to fork out say a million USD in speculative PED, then we willl see a significant decrease in loot soon as soon as the Dollars starts going up again, if at all... (Apocalypse in mind and all that...)
The falling Dollar may also be the reason why prices on some items are going up (Korss400/mid ranged L weapons & tools).
Now for Mindark this is a junction point.
If it is that Mindark decide to "lock" the PED value to a prior version of the Dollar, and convert then to a more stable economy such as the Euro.. or the Yen.. whatever, then we will also see some odd action. There is a vague possibility that MA will do something like that, because;
1: If the dollar goes up, MA have to fork out more.
2: If the dollar crashes, EU will be fucked.
3: If the dollar stays this way indefinately, then pink unicorns really do exist.
The solutions for MA as seen from an economists eyes; (a friend of mine)
1: MA can change the value of 1 PED. ( 1 USD = 8 PED)(example only!)
2: PED value is changed from USD to EURO at the maximal low of the USD.
3: MA rides it out and looses many customers and alot of money on the cost of us.
4: Point 3, but finds a pink unicorn to cover the player base losses.

I am fully aware that there is no such problem, as long as the Dollar does not go up, WHICH IT WILL!

"If you are not enlightened in matters concerning analytical conciousness, please don't post anything, just enjoy that some people do."Ummmm, there is no such problem
MA converts all USD to euros or seks upon receiving, and so they are quite happy to give back out less.
