How to Fix the broken economy of GW

Sure they got their 5 stacks legitimately...

Even if the drop rate of ecto for example is decreased, there are still how many in existence? Yes, the price would go way up, but the result would be rich owners and many more ppl running UW farm builds. Eventually, they'd be right where they are now again. The main reason the have value left after how farmed they are is a)some leave circulation with crafting and b) ppl tend to sell private and stash them to use as currency. If ppl didn't use em as currency, they'd be much lower anyway. People would probably just use something else.

Your communism argument is not terribly thought out tbh. I'm not proposing everyone be equal, you were proposing what seemed to me to be make the rich richer and poor poorer. Not seeing that as any kind of solution to what you see as "broken" doesn't make me Soviet Russia lol.

Yes, we need more gold sinks. I'd love to see armors/weapons etc I want or need to work for again. I just think your "solution"...isn't a solution at all.

so it will feel its infinite. o btw, economics is about money, not charity sry...
economics = finance. sociology = people.

ok for my part, i did not word that properly, i didnt mean the poor poorer and the rich richer, i meant everyone is equal? what fun would that be... somewhat like GW... right now. hey i know my solutions aren't great (i dont get paid to make up solutions to a.net problem) but i was hoping to make "noise" and get people talking instead they flame and flame...

thank you forc actually making sense.

/logic FTW

What? People have a problem with that? Ha - you all are noobs and don't know anything about erkonomiqs!

/translation

Seriously.


EDIT: My take on how to fix the economy - wipe everyone's account and start at square one. Who's with me?

I don't think widening the gap will solve anything, that is not the same thing, nor is it sociology. You're right "economics = finance. sociology = people." Fact is though, people are part of economy. No people, no economy.

Where did the charity thing come in? When have I said anything resembling charity? Sociology? Are you misreading things or debating people in your head? Logic ftw where?

charity is for your mentions of people/shelter etc.

my god.

charity has different meanings..in your case , peoples need.

The mental retardation rate of the board members is growing exponentially due to threads like this killing brain cells with their mindless stupidity. I can actually feel the intelligence being drained out of people...

@OP : Drugs are bad, mkay? They kill brain cells and make you stupid. I know it's too late to reverse the effect, but you CAN stop any further damage. Please, for your parents sake, stop abusing whatever it is you are clearly abusing and try to stay clean.
