How about 10 gold times the level for forum post? For example, it should cost 1500 gold to post when at level 150. That will sink some gold.

I watched the marketplace. I think HCS should make a line graph that show the average price of FSP in a length of 6 months.

Keep trying and good luck,
I'm done suggesting this idea when I was about 140-ish, because it got absolutely nowhere.
Maybe dedication and perseverance would yield a different result.

Even though it will likely never happen, dare I say I actually like this idea :shock:

Although being a flat rate of 1k per post or something would likely be more fair to those higher up. (Dont ask why Im wasting my time hammering out balance issues on something like this :lol: )

The gold per FSP is rising at an alarming rate! It's at 173k gold per FSP! 3 days ago, it was at 165k gold! I think it is caused by people overbidding each other. The solution is for someone with bunch of FSPs who is going to clean out the marketplace by selling FSPs to all selections. Then he should get the gold per FSP down to 75k.

I like Angie's idea of charging 1 gold per message sent in game better :wink:

no MP cap should be implemented, noone shold be able to tell someone who buys fsp with real money what they can get in fake money for them. They should be able to mark them at 1 mil per if they want to.

If they implement this, will you stop posting? :lol:


Seriously though, bad idea. The purpose of a forum is to communicate, share ideas, etc. Charging a fee to post would reduce the number of people posting, therefore destroying communication between players in the FS community. For example, I often reply to posts in the Newbie Help section to give pointers. Why should I pay a fee in order to provide others with game info? That's totally backwards.

And then it will be back up to 170k within the hour.

What if someone broke the marketplace and cause page to malfunction, rendering marketplace unusable? That would leave players to trade gold for FSP.

Is there anything we can do to reduce the gold per FSP? I always buy 1 FSP for 160k.

there is nothing you can do against the marketplace price.

Wait there is, not selling fsp or buying any for gold.

If no one wants to buy an fsp for gold it means the prices for the fsp will drop, till they reach the point where players want to buy again.

However that won't happen.

Since gold is a fake currency and fsp are obtained through spending real life money.

Putting a cap on the marketplace isn't the way to go.

There has been a period that a marketplace didn't exist. People bought and sold fsp for gold back then aswell. Putting a cap will eventually mean that the marketplace won't be used anymore.

The value of gold is decreasing rapidly because there aren't many things you can buy with gold.

There are effective simple solutions that I have seen other people mention, such as making Bounty Tickets available to buy with gold only. They just have to swap "buy-able" things into gold instead of FSPs.

Definitely getting tired of seeing the ridiculous flaming going on against Kitteh and Kibora. If you don't like the idea, say so. Or don't post at all. SIMPLE. Leave the flaming back in kindergarten where you learned it.

Some of Kitteh's ideas make you think, or even help you develop better ideas in your own heads.

Find something constructive to contribute, or hit Alt+F4.

I suggest never placing a limit on the mp, why should anyone be abe to say how much fake currency someone can get for their real currency? Let the mp raise to 1 mil per fsp then we will really hear complaining but not from me cause even if it takes many hunts ill still be able to eventually buy an fsp without ever having to donate.

Link to one.

Btw, sam, why'd you bump this? It's a 20 day old thread, it would have died...

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=97231

Although not many people agree with his ideas, a lot of thought process goes into creating suggestions like this one. And although not something I would personally agree with, some of the ideas can be reformulated and made better.

So take this time now to stop with the rudeness, it is becoming a testament to your inability to argue a point. Flaming is not part of forums, debate is. Debate intelligently rather than flinging insults like a monkey throws it's own feces.

And back to the main topic, I'm sure FSP price will fluctuate much like money does irl. The problem is just creating an FSP sink. Perhaps converting all remaining gold into FSP, or vice versa? Just a thought.

And since further bumping this thread would be pointless, forum PMs about this topic would probably suffice...

-
- Adding the name who put the bid will inflates the price on MP even more


How so? If there's a name there's a target. Who wants to be a visible target trying to convert large sums of gold? I don't see the logic in your statement.

Removing the ability to Bounty a PvP Ladder attack is something I've been thinking about. If enough people want it, I don't see why not. It might be a relatively easy tweak, unlike the rest of the suggestions.

lol, maybe that would be a good idea.

And fourbrezio, both of those ideas show a lack of understanding about how the game works, which would be fine, since we all do it too at some point, if he didn't present his ideas as fact and consistently rip off other games.
