I would love to see a max price on FsP in the marketplace "Requests" just like there is on in the "Listing" (100k ea) section of the marketplace. It would allow LOW level players to make fsp from hunting and to upgrade character without having to GvG if they can't afford to donate to the game.

a better fix would be to take the cap off the other side of the market. It is a player run economy. Putting caps on is an artificial influence.

If HCS put a cap on the marketplace it would benefit EVERYONE unless you hunt in caves. right now their is stuff in AH that is hard to sell for 1 fsp when it is Perfect and Fully Forged. If their was a cap everyone would have more fsp their for would be willing to pay a little extra for it.

It would not benifit everyone. People who buy fsp and arena players get less per fsp when the MP is lower.

Anyways, they already did it. It didnt work because no one would sell fsp at that price and people started selling out of the MP via secure trades.

If it didnt work then. . . . . .

yes but King. Say the arenaer's win a item worth 5 fsp right now. It would be worth idk mabey 10 fsp if the marketplace has a cap on it and how much the cap is because everyone who does anything besides arena would have more fsp to spend on the items (my theory is : FsP prices go down so Items that are worth fsp in AH go up)

lol, Your still getting less entry fee per fsp was my point, but that is really neither here nor there since like I said, they tried to put a cap on te MP and it failed miserably.

Im would love a cap, that means it will be harder for people to get rid of their gold while hunting and I can steal more :twisted: That doesnt mean its a good idea or good for the game though.

why should anyone be able to tell someone who spends real money to get fsp how much fake money they can get for it?

King, it might fail miserably and but i doubt that would happen. sure it would take long to buy fsp in marketplace but eventually people would have to sell them and everyone would learn to deal with itif it benefits them or not i know when i first started this game fsp were like 30k each and everyone dealt with it.

Once again. They did this already before you joined. It didnt work.

OR like last time people would sell them via secure trade for what they feel they are worth to them :lol:

if it benefits them or not i know when i first started this game fsp were like 30k each and everyone dealt with it.

Hmmm, when I started they ran between 70-100k, I dont recall them ever dropping below the 50k you can sell the fsp for via the upgrades page :lol:

The MP also worked the opposite way then, the FSP was placed in the MP, not the gold :wink:

If HCS put a cap on the mp, like they did in the past, then the mp would simply die and fsp would be exchanged on sts.

heh im 31 and dont buy fsp on here at all, ive spent maybe around $200 on this game in almost 4 years so im barely considered a donator. My fsp has come from hard work when I was smaller level and also the nice pvping that I do.

@King and Sth. Not everyone would do ST's because simply people are to lazy to do it for EVERY time they need fsp. dont get me wrong some people will do it every time but thats why i said it would take longer to buy fsp.

players who have fsp to sell would do it every time, the ones who want fsp for gold would however be willing to pay a little les gold per fsp but the sellers want as much gold as they can get for them so they will sell through st only at that point.

Sellers would have to revert to the marketplace as many people would not pay that extra 50k for just 1 fsp if they could get 1 fsp for 100k in marketplace

HCS should not cap the fsp price but should only provide us with the ability to maintain a system that can keep the price at reasonable levels that will promote easy trade among the players.

SMALL GOVERNMENT!!! UNION FOREVER!!! WOOOOO!!!!

the thing is the supply of fsp is what determines what people will pay for them so if they cant get them for 100k then they are more willing to pay 150k or even 200k. Ive said it before and ill say it again no matter if fsp were 1 mil gold per Id still be thankful that I can buy them on here without having to put real cash into getting them.

Cap is a big no. It's an easy button to gain FSP, HCS main source of income.

It's a player-runned economy.

Take a real life economic situation. What if they started capping prices for certain valuable goods. Then eventually it loses value as everyone has access to it. This leads to an upset economy and inflation. Just take it in turns for FSP.

The thing you're not getting is that this has been tried before, what I was describing actually happened. It's not debating hypothetical situations, it's saying what happened.
