Anyone who has been playing since before the reset will probably agree with me on this: the Market has completely spiralled out of control.

And no; this isn't a rant against people who buy things in the market, since I have made purchases in the market myself.

HOWEVER, the prices need to be static. There's been a trend over the last several months of lowering the prices for things over and over and over, which, while it generates more purchases in the short-term, is going to MAJORLY lose a lot of players down the line.

The reason is very simple: people are NOT getting a consistent value for what they are spending. Period.

Let's say I spent $100 on Naquadah in the market, at $20 per 100k Naquadah. So, I get 500k Naquadah.

Three days later, the price in the market for the SAME amount of Naquadah is dropped to $10. So, a player who spends the SAME $100 just got 1 million Naquadah, where I only got half as much for the same amount of money.

I've been playing since well before the Reset, and I really don't want to know how much money I've spent since I began playing originally (please don't tell me), but since the prices in the Market have constantly been dropping over and over again, I haven't bought a thing.

Not because I don't need the things in the Market, but because I don't feel that my money is being valued when I buy something, and then a few days later, somebody can get twice as much (or 10 times as much, if we're looking at Market prices just post-Reset and 6 months later).

So, really, the Market needs to be stabilized. No more price drops. Unless and until the Market starts holding a stable value for more than a couple weeks to a month at a stretch, I personally won't be spending a dime in it.

What ever you can do or dream you can always begin it because boldness has genius, power and magic in it

I didn't say anything about taking away the Market, just to stop dropping the prices so our money is actually worth something when we use it.

Untwist your panties.

In your imagination, maybe. You're not even making coherent posts now. Go to sleep. :-P
