if you mean less greedy ,yea! BTW. with that lottery cash, i could hold a nice lootpool for a very long time
I have always suspected PE economy was actually (slightly) subsidized during Alpha, Beta and maybe even a year or two after going Gold.
I would buy MA, definitely.
Then I would buy out all CLD's (to free the economy from the dead weight)
Next step, raise the average return up to 98.5% (or: decrease the average cost to play, whichever way u put it). I would also hire a competent team to monitor and analyze the activities of every player who siphons considerable amount of money out of the game. Should they find out this activity does not meet the standards (= isn't reasonably backed up with investments - uber gear and skill) they would mercilessly nerf down those profit avenues to the acceptable level (but not to zero!).
Despite all that, it would still require considerable financial support (the game would generate loss, not profit) for several years.
I would declare it my right to make public all the avatar names (not real persons names!) who consistently make profit from the game and use those success stories for my aggressive advertisement campaign.
Few years later, as a result of advertisement campaign, but even more so by the simple good old "word of mouth effect", the game population would reach the magnitude that would allow me to stop financing the game economy artificially. In few years more it would start generating profit.
This game is a goldmine. Too bad the current owners didn't understand it while they still had the chance to make it big. I'm not sure if they have the necessary resources today to achieve that... even if they would understand what is RCE and how it can work if managed properly. Which is rather sad.
