I propose that as a gold sink, FSBOX and Front page ads could be paid for, For 150k gold or 1 Fsp, This would be a great sink as alot of people use the FSbox too. What do u think.

not a bad idea, but FSP prices fluctuate all the time. How could you put a gold value on it?

Set it at 150k, and if 1 fsp is worth 160k, people can sell a fsp to pay for it, This will also heelp level out the FSP market in a way too.

Have the price of gold to post fluctuate accordingly.

Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!

If you've ever kept an eye on the FSP Marketplace, you'd notice that the price of FSP can drastically go up and down multiple times within any given day.

Would there be a way to have it auto fluctuate? (Sorry, I'm not good with programming stuff)

i'm sure PvPers would love this idea. A lot of people would be getting hit right before they post a message, hehe.

No, It is not a good idea. It will work but I doubt that it will be effective. I know that almost everyone would prefer to use 1 FSP as opposed to 150,000 Gold - FSP is a safe currency. When someone has the option to use FSP as opposed to gold, In most cases he'll choose FSP.

An excellent money sink idea is one without alternative choices, Example; the arena or scavenging are very good sinks.

I do not believe that any modification with the already existing game mechanics or minigames will reduce inflation or create effective sinks. The only solution might be to add new game features which increases the value of gold.
