Well think about it..


Remove Cap -> Marketplace Full -> FSP for 150K each

Cap -> Marketplace USUALLY Empty -> Fsp 100K each

by the way you just checked at the wrong times, the marketplace has had tons of fsp lately.

its be nightmare if the cap is off.people with lots of fsp to begin with can simply like sell fsp for 110k each and buy for 105k each and repeat and repeat until they just simply sit there and watch $ rolling in while doing NOTHING besides setting prices!!!

is that what has been happening?

It did happen before the "standard" price for FSP in the MP became 100k. I remember starting out the game and seeing the last page (out of 4 or so pages) being all 100k and thinking WOW that's insane! How do they expect to sell those? But yeah, people did it and still do it. I've seen bios (and FSBox posts) that state:
Always buying FSP for 105k
Selling FSP for only 110k!
:lol:

Good for them if they manage to do it. They will actually be performing a service. The person offering at 105k wants to sell - they bought. The person buying at 110k wants to buy - they sold. And, who would complain if there were always arbitrageurs around at those prices?

And yes, I posted something very close to this in it's own thread and the official MP thread. Even if prices work under 100k I think the cap needs to go.
