The Future of Mayhem: Vendor Changes
- Between 29th April and 27th May, tokens will temporarily be made tradeable. This will allow a grace period for players to offload/buy up tokens if they feel it is in their best interest with the changes going forward
- In the week directly following the end of this period, we will post a notice detailing the days and times when vendor restocking will take place, accounting for players of different timezones.

Don't worry, this won't be the case anymore. Likewise, a participation in depositing will drastically decrease too.participation in the format has also been very high,
Yeah let's kill the economy!A necessary first step. Now we need (L) weapons and armor that are considerably better than any existing UL and/or require hunting and mining loots to repair UL. MMUGA
If you read between the lines:
Quoting from OP:
"In short, the faucet of tokens into the economy has been increased, participation in the format has also been very high, and the vendor has remained primarily used for the purpose of obtaining high-end UL items. This combined with expectations for restocks of these items has created a cycle which brings UL items into the game at an unsustainable rate - and frustration from players expecting and waiting for said items to be stocked.
Therefore, our plan is to remove UL items entirely from the vendor once stock is depleted, replacing them with exceptional, limited versions, and craftable exceptional limited versions that consume items from the economy. These “exceptional” style items provide long lasting items, but items that will ultimately expire with use. We believe that this still provides meaningful incentive for many players to participate, whilst ensuring UL items do not become more overabundant."
Think that's pretty obvious that they don't intend to restock with UL anymore, at least in the mayhem vendor format. They are giving one last opportunity basically for players who have some tokens left over to buy an UL item if they can afford to, and that's it. I don't think it is surprising to anyone that the mayhem vendor format has outlived its shelf life.
Maybe we finally get away from this buy your way to the top bs and go back to UL items being looted?Good question.

Not definitive, but doesn't look good.
Yeah let's kill the economy!
agreed. He should have said let's kill the game cause that's what will happen thenThat’s a silly thing to say, the economy is already dead and has been for a while now.
lol if you don’t realize they are inches away from that and are pulling all the stop to prevent it, you haven’t been paying attention.agreed. He should have said let's kill the game cause that's what will happen then![]()
I know that. Doing that L bullshit will speed it up even further. We want them to save the game not shut it down. Or atleast I want that..lol if you don’t realize they are inches away from that and are pulling all the stop to prevent it, you haven’t been paying attention.
I get it being a bag holder sucks, but if people spent money they can’t afford to lose that’s on them, perhaps they will learn some financial responsibility.
Perhaps if all of the bag holders rage quit, but most of them are there already frantically selling their stuff at steep discounts.I know that. Doing that L bullshit will speed it up even further. We want them to save the game not shut it down. Or atleast I want that..
OP says they will announce restock time/date ahead of it happening.Well hopefully don't restock while im at work or during week.... weekend be better come on m a people have lives first
People want to know if tokens may be worth holding on for the long term (years even). MA have two main options, one is to temporarily remove UL altogether and the second they have no intention currently to ever re-introduce them to the vendor.

The Economy is in this position because of so many UL items. The only items high end players are consistently consuming are enhancers. I single item cannot prop up the entire economy. Items must be consumed and looted at a similar pace in order for an economy to form.
You’re totally right, they should keep doing the exact same thing they have been doing, it’s been working out so great. Nevermind that the high end are not cycling even close to that much on a daily basis since Twen. I’m sure That stock will jump right back up and thousands will join, any day now.The most active players and those that pay for running this game have a UL item. Remove or destroy that and you will make many of them quit and crash the game. Removing the incentive to deposit and lock big amount of peds is also a killer for the game (no point of big depoing for a $20 L item) . This game won't survive with 3000 players having $100 worth in game. Also by removing the incentive to grind/play and win anything will drop the activity by a lot and kill the game.
They are consuming enhancers and paying a TT tax of 2-4% to MA for all their cycle. A mod nano user going full tilt is cycling 5000ped/hour and paying 100ped/hour to MA in terms of TT loss per hour. He prolly plays min 7-8 hours a day also so 7-800ped/day loss to mindark.
