Players don’t need to sell in an economy like this, as money is worthless within the zarp economy. Keeping the suits is more valuable than the money

All the people with gjuggs etc are just gonna win so big feels bad

that too sir

This could be fair if everyone who participates gets same weapons or suits spawned in to use..
I doubt poor people will risk their shit against rich players!

HA! joke's on you i got golden edf!

You think they give a fuck about the economy in this first place is quite the assumption. It all started going down hill when people made billions from a glitch on the event wheel and they did jack shit.

Can I please get a 3rd golden juggernaut suit please

But i thought the event involved ripping suits, and therefore removing the fun? Sorry if i'm missing something, but that's the impression i've been given.

"Suit RIPs Leaderboard"
> "Adding more items into the economy"



One of the leaderboards is designed to encourage people to engage in combat and RIP special suits. The new leaderboards will remove more suits from the economy than it will add due to users wanting to be at the top, and the fact that very few new items are actually being put into the economy.

I get an event for players to start playing again, but an event based on just suit rips seems wrong at this point in time

Gotta say, this is kinda sad for all the new players

Sure we'll get more players , but after they find out that the "epic gold loot" is only given out to the richest players they'll leave.
And sure a competition of the "big boys" is pretty cool, But why make it in the middle of a crisis? How about you make events that boost new players to populate the server back to normal give it a good reputation ?
After all the restoration of the server , Then you can make competitions like that.

This event isn't harmful to the economy, nor the player-base. It's such a small thing it won't have much impact.

The reason people don't enjoy themselves on the server is because of the item scarcity. From the way things are laid out, you can (virtually) only obtain suits through real-money purchases.

If we want to see some improvement I would begin to look into the ways we could make suits and special items obtainable through means such as crafting or via an NPC (questing, new stores etc.)


I think a lot of you are failing to see that if you don't need absurd amounts of money to purchase an item (and rather, you obtain them through crafting, questing, or something along those lines), it'll really incentivize players to stay, producing a higher player-base.

Because, as it stands now, seeing the large prices on our items - and not fully knowing how to earn the money to purchase the items - is a major turn-off to the new players who join the server.

And if there are no players flowing in, the server will begin to decline because, inevitably, players who have been here for a while, will leave (when old players leave it's usually with different reasonings, though, such as boredom or exhaustion of the game).

A) They’re making people more likely to RIP other people’s suits and therefore decreasing the amount of suits in the economy, this in hand will then increase the price due to the lack of stock of these items.
B )The people who will win are the people who are already rich, they are best equipped with suits and IP weapons that no one who had started recently could actually compete with. This means that the golden items will just go to the people who already have the money to obtain these items and therefore just increase the gap between new and old players
