considering the profit that can be made from mind force, sweat used to be at 5 ped which was too high but I think 3 ped 2.5 minimum would be a fair price for all. I also think this is a factor in many leaving. Although prices are bordering on complete explotation with the sweating I have found the sweaters to be much more considerate and with there being no set place its harder for the idiots . yeah the cap is off but the prices kill any benfits that could have had. Anyways I digress , your guide is good bringing ethics in as some people have no clue about that and dont think of the big picture when applying their stupidity.
what profit of mind force ?
there are focus, heal, attack, teleport chips
focus is for the ppl who use mindforce, sweaters and those usually who use heal and attack chips in combat, that is a support chip, and sweaters usually don't pay for being bubbled, and if you use it on your own noone pays you too
heal chips kinda the same, most ppl dont pay you for being health, especially no sweaters
this is kinda interesting since on the one hand they jump up and down in front of the mf users shouting "HEAL!!111!!!" on the other hand "FOCUS!!!111!!!" (oki, Ive overdone it, but you know what i mean) and on the other hand they want to let those ppl pay even more for the sweat and still want to be healt, of course, this would allow them to sell more sweat
this spiral just doesn't work
the tp chips, well they save time maybe, but still, the cash you spend with them is wasted, noone pays for it
the attack chips are all pretty uneco, it is extremly hard to break even with them imo
so, where do you see profit from MF here ?
even if I just use my heal chip from time to time, i can tell you one thing, the eco of it sucks badly
with removing the sweat cap you gave the real MF skillers the opportunity to sweat themselves and save pretty much cash for skilling up
this is quite bad for sweaters, but there is not that much harm done
MF cost a shitload of cash the ppl usually deposited, and spending most of it for sweat is pretty bad, just take a look at the efficiency of them and compare to normal stuff like faps and weapons
now, don't get me wrong, i started as sweater too when the max amount you could get was 5, not 22
i sweated about 2 months, price at 1.3 or so
i know what sweating feels like, and how sad it is for newbies to have those prices
but you should see the other side of the coin too, the MF users are not there to fund the gameplay of all newbies, they couldn't do anyway, since the amount of MF users was always pretty low (since MF has such a low eco) compared to the amount of sweaters
i agree that 0.7 is too less, but since the eco of all chips depend on the price the ME is finally produced for, this makes it more interesting to use MF
try to see all sides here, not just the sweater one
sidenote, i sweat on my own too, but if you think i would actually buy sweat if i had the option then this would be a clear NO
i wouldn't pay for sweat to skill one of the most uneco professions in the game, even not just for hobby
the other thing, sweating is fun
i got 6k of sweat already again and don't even think of selling
either i use it on my own, or see how big the stack can get, so, i won't be at the market with it i guess
in this spirit
