TOPIC: Removal of ele bases - effects on economy

Printing will become much less viable.

Printers and x3 and x4 boosters will drop in price dramatically, due to the low demand now.

Money will have a higher value, due to less money being printed.

In turn, AFK mining will be less valuable as the amount of money circulating in the economy will eventually drop.

People who sold their printers right before this change was made (me) are now in a very good spot, while those who stockpiled printers will be worse off.

The way that most people will print will now be by hiding printers, so scan master prices will rise.

I will add anything else that I think of in time. This is just a brief summary, the economic impacts will be much wider.

Ayy man thats good because I have shit ton of item in my inventory XD
Remove the ele base dun affect much player (Include me) becuase I don't have a chance to base there haha

I think there is no elevator bases they will hide those printers so scanmaster prices will be up

This would be a good moment. For bib to start adding fees to be allowed to base with them. Like 10 mil . No body gonna raid bib lol

Well, that was in elevator bases so lets see how it works in places like carpark.

people just can just tgun entrance and gluon any people who make it through

Great....

Finally, I can sell some dupes that aren't only in the elevator!
Nevertheless, elevator bases were overrated and the dupes were repetitive. New ideas for bases are now more viable than just going with the flow, will be interesting to see how my experimental bases will work with a larger defense force.

How about the pickaxes rising in price because supply stream stays the same while demand will skyrocket now, because mining is the only profitable income now.

Pretty sure that would harm the new players more than it would harm the current miners bud. For two reasons: we already have a shit ton of pickaxes and we already made enough money to buy even if the price raised. But new players would have no way of getting a pickaxe.

Raiding any other base is really simple. Just HC everything and rush in with a suit/Gluon because no one except for Jabbe has a good reactiontime.

Or people will start to actually bother to make normal bases that take skill to defend. Seriously it's not because elevator bases were overpowered as fuck that normal bases are underpowered. They worked for the longest time even when handcannons were way more common.
