118260-20-plat-for-credd

== Content ==
			
So Drop 3 comes, thought I'd re-activate my account with the credd I had on my account and came back to a dead PvP megaserver...that's fine I moved to the PvE server and now there's players, what I find insane is how when i bought my last credd in september before I left my account inactive was for 10 credd and I thought that was quite steep and took a damn good while of farming, now it's doubled in that time into 20 credd and I see no way of buying this, this is going to be just one of the things that dwindles this already dying playerbase and almost none-existant in-game community.
 
People say "you can play with in-game gold"...yeah that's great except I'm not prepared to spend a big portion of my game time endlessly farming for plat just to play an incredibly average game with content drops every 3 months or so, especially when the 3 drops so far have been almost none-existant in terms of adding to the games dungeon list and general progression activities, guess this is my last month on the game.

Can I have your stuff when you leave?
 
 
 
 
 
Jokes aside, in an hours of game time, I had invested 2P into the CX.  That investment resulted in 4-5P return on investment, thats just incorporating the vendor trash.  Once the CX items sell, I am due for about 70-80P.
 
 
I think you just need to look into available money making options, and think outside the box a bit.	
----
			I'm assuming Euro PVE.  Because on Entity its less than 10P, and in EU this game is absolutely FLOURISHING	
----
			both Jabbit and Luminai have their CREDD at 20 plat right now.	
----
			Which server are you playing on?  I'm just curious because I checked CREDD prices yesterday and it was only selling for 9 plat 10g and buying for 9p 99g.  I want to know where the money is.

Isn't this really what your thread's about? Seems to have nothing to do with CREDD doubling and everything to do with the stated fact that you think this game's 'incredibly average' with slow content drops.
 
In which case, why would you bother playing, whether CREDD is 1 plat or 100?
----
			
Why would you choose to play an incredibly average game that's going nowhere fast? Sounds like you're not going to have fun with a game like that, no matter how much you choose to pay.
 
The point I'm making is that you can do better, and your complaints are meaningless. Go find a game you think is incredibly not average and enjoy.	
----
			So basically you made a thread calling out the players who bought Credd with their real money. You do realize they are the ones listing it them at X-price?	
----
			
Paying CREDD for a sub was presented as an option for players who put a lot of time into the game.  You don't seem to care to do that, so you're not in the group for whom subscription by CREDD was supposed to be a viable option in the first place.  It's not meant to be affordable to players who "play casually" (if, by that, you mean "play infrequently" or "aren't serious about farming money,") then the system is WAI if you can't afford it.
 
It is valid to complain to the devs if you're a player who puts a lot of time into the game, but you still can't afford to stay subbed on CREDD.  While they have no direct or immediate control over the market value of CREDD or the way you manage your game money, their decisions do influence the amount of game money coming into the economy.  They have some responsibility to manage the economy so that the players they pitched CREDD subscription to can avail themselves of that subscription model, provided they're playing to earn money, playing frequently and spending wisely.

Alright let me put it this way, 10 plat was way more than enough in the first place when I was playing it "hardcore" with my guild before we all left, I was farming fully and playing for as long as I could, 10 plat into CREDD and the rest of my gold would go into repairs, consumables, dyes etc, regardless on if my intention was to play more casually now 20 plat is still an insane price regardless of how you look at it, as someone said with it being 10 plat on the NA servers and somehow the price of 20 managed to make its way into the EU servers, even if I was playing the way I was in september and before that...I would still of been baffled at how the hell 20 plat is a legit price.

OP
 
are you just here to complain and talk bad about the game? yes, there can be constructive criticism with plat, but you directly correlated it with how the game is dying etc etc.
 
why dont you try to implement something positive like getting more friends to play? That will help lower the plat.
 
If you cant afford credd? pay for it? thats why wow is a sub game too, because its worth it.	
----
			Have you thought that if you didn't bugger off for that time you might have enough plat to buy it at that price? ;)	
----
			IDK, just seems to me that the EU players that bought CREDD with their money have finally put a better value on their cash :D	
----
			
I agree with Shendorion, on all points. Sure the market has doubled but as he has said CREDD was advertised as a way for the "hardcore" players to pay for their Sub.

I would put you in the Player C category of this.
 
I for one maxed out 5 level 50's because I don't want to do crafting dailies and play the auction house game. I also don't wanna farm mobs or grind dailies. So what was my course of action? Tier 4 plots. Several of them. Of course this was no easy task, therefore I fall under the category of Player B.
 
I never considered 10 plat a lot, and if comes to 20 plat I won't consider that a lot either. I get 1 plat daily from all my plots in total, and if I choose to farm my neighbors' plots I can make about 1.5 plat in 40 mins or so. So in 30 days I have made 30 plat essentially without farming, but I have earned my ability to do just that by playing "hardcore."

No, it's not, it's to do with the fact that after I bought the game I've played using CREDD in where the price was reasonable and now it's just insane to the point where for a person playing casually 20 CREDD is far out of my reach, I've no interest in parting with my money on a game that's going no where fast and since that's the case, as I said, I guess this is my last month.

			A new drop just landed. Of course CREDD prices went up. More people are there and consuming them. Just wait until 4 weeks from now =)

To be honest not having checked those third party websites recently but historically on Pergo it used to be 20p = US$10... so to make CREDD more attractive you would have had to make 40p off of it.
I am not sure if many of those gold selling sites still exist for wildstar.
 
CREDD price going up is more a factor of significantly reduced supply. Also most of the early cheap credd were purchased by people who in many instances did not make their gold legitimately I dont believe selling carries is legitimate IMO. Most of those guys quit (not because they were necessarily punished) and that CREDD would be expiring over the next few months.

			There are a few exploits, the CREDD costs are not natural.

How fast do you earn plat that it's more efficient to farm game money than to earn real money?  I realize Canadian dollars and US dollars trade at different rates, but still!
 
 
 
EDIT: At this point it's clear that the exploit was behind the sudden spike in CREDD prices.  They'll probably stabilize at a much lower value once the funny money is flushed out of the system.	
----
			
Yeah I'm guessing that CREDD prices are going to come back down some but the price of CREDD has definitely been trending upwards slightly.  This time last week CREDD was going for about 17 plat on the highest price server it was moving on.  I think there are a lot of reasons it spiked this week, both with the release of a new drop and a plat exploit I think we saw both a renewed interest increasing the demand for CREDD as well as an increase of currency moving the price for it upwards.   
 
As someone pointed out I think some of that is going to even out and the price is going to depress some, but probably not a ton.  There was definitely an increase in sell order prices as a result of people seeing OTHER sell order prices going up too.  That's the problem with a mostly unregulated currency is the price for it is going to fluctuate depending on how much of it there is and how much people have to pay for it.	
----
			
Beginning of the month CREDD prices typically jumped a bit and calmed down a few days later as launch subs synchronized to that timeframe.  I was rather surprised to not see that happen at the beginning of November. 
 
Speculatively the shock of the mega-server inflation (a 7 to 10p jump) might have kept demand low enough to keep downward pressure on prices.  On the other hand, CREDD users only get 30 days, so this time period will slowly desynchronize with the beginning of the month and be further diluted as new people join and old people reactivate outside of the launch group.
 
In other words, I have no clue :lol:

dumbest OP i have ever read.
 
20pp is relatively nothing and you can easily make that in a month just by doing dailys.
 
Is that fun ? No.   Then pay a subscription price.
 
Economies in MMOs are set by the grinders / farmers or by RLseller transactions like CREDD or PLEX.
 
The price of game time is only going to increases, it will be 25pp soon enough. Its never going to go down.
 
MMO economies are not sensible, rational places for the majority of commodities.
