So the C.R.E.D.D prices for purchase now on Luminai is 26 platinum and buy order is 20 platinum...while on others it's like half the price?It's kind of unfair that some of us have to pay twice as much for a month of gametime. This is an issue due to lack of people on the server.
This will result in even less people on the server(s), meaning higher C.R.E.D.D prices which leads to less people, and then we got ourselves a downward spiral into a ghostserver.
 
To fix this; please make it so that all C.R.E.D.D orders are placed in one C.R.E.D.D-server only and then linked out to all the other gameservers.
This will make the C.R.E.D.D prices fair and equal for all players.
 
Please Santa, give me this as an early christmas gift!

			Yeah this would be pretty fair. Idk if possible though. It's pretty terrible you have to pay 26 plat when it's 9plat on my server. Good luck with this.	
----
			I would like this, the prices of C.R.E.D.D in the EU kinda suck. Especially when I read how much they are going for on NA servers  :( 19 plat on Jabbit  :huh:	
----
			
One ring to rule them all..... oh wait..... :P
 
It is supply and demand, I think the system as it stands works as intended. The problem is the population is tanking even further since megaservers and supply of CREDD on most all of the severs except the most populous Entity server is very low.	
----
			Its pretty simple, if they dont fix this, they will loose more players. And i dare to state that as a fact.	
----
			This is how it should have worked in the first place.

So if I understand your position correctly, in your view two different players who support their sub with CREDD should have to farm wildly different amounts of plat simply because they're not on the same servers?
 
If that's working as intended, then I think there's something seriously wrong with the intent.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
That's probably true. I'd go mad if I had to make 26 plat each month to play this game, I'd probably quit too because making 26 plat a month would take up ALL of my playtime.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Well to be fair, CREDD is just an option out there. Pay your sub with your real life money and it wont interfere with your playtime at all :)
----
			Better hope you land a few whales over there soon.

{| class="blockquote"
CREDD is at ridiculous prices, that's the point here. The prices are taking away CREDD as an option since 26 plat isn't in any reasonable area to farm monthly.
----
			
Thinking if prices insane will drop cause nobody buying.
However if enough platinum in circulation and selling, will keep going till platinium gone.
Is self-sustaining. If not enough plat around, prices drop till can afford again.

CREED is not expensive in Luminai I would say prices are finally normal...
I can easily get 2pl/week on 1 character in 15min gameplay/week with mining circle and elite mining. That alone is about 9pl/month. Dailies are 30-40mins/day for 2 maps and that's additional 6+ plats/week, so 25-30 plat/month, not to mention that quest gold rewards after drop3 will be higher.
Here comes expenses and for me only place I can have debt is raid - any other in-game activity will always bring me more gold than expenses I need (not to mention that I actually do not need boosts and food of any king for dung/adventure/PvP or farm anything). On raid I can loose as much as 2-2,5plat/week - that's maximum with lots of dead and all buffs up + no drop. Another expenditure department is equipment... Crafting gear is one time only - rest you should farm by yourself, if you choose other way, than cry and farm. Runes can be a huge gold sink, but most of resources you should get from dailies, so easily you can change whole rune set once every 3m and this is more than enough. Any other gold sink is just player whim.

			CREDD is there so you can choose if you want to pay plats for a sub or real money for subs. You are not forced to get CREDD and if you cant afford a sub with real money then get a toon to 50 and start farming plats (it isnt really that hard to get). People just want anything for free and not really work for it. To me 26 plat doesnt seem like that expensive when you think about you get to play the game for free. I recently hit 50 and is quite new to the game. I already purchased 3 CREDD on Entity for a total of 33 plat and im now broke but at least i know i have 3 months of free play. Now i have to start doing dailies and craft things to sell on the AH to get some more plats but i know that if i want something i need to work for it.

No, I'm saying it is working as intended in a free market. The problem is the population on that server and the supply available. In a functional game there would be roughly more even numbers across all 4 servers and the prices wouldn't be much different. But since there is not, the prices reflect that.
 
Is it fair? Nothing is ever fair in a free market, it is all supply and demand. You can argue the semantics of governmental regulation (which essentially is kinda what the OP is asking for) but that is not the problem here, the population deficiency is. 
 
What I assume you are asking is am I opposed to having CREDD centralized on a seperate sever that all 4 servers share for an economy? In that case, yes, I am opposed to it as I think each server needs to have it's own identity and an economy is a big part of that. Either the server in question needs to die, get more players, or merge with the US pvp sever to salvage the server to avoid the aforementioned "dying" aspect.

Well it isnt really their fault that people are greedy and are selling CREDD for way too much plat. People are obviously buying them at that price too since people still put them up there for that price.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
It's their fault that they are losing players - delayed drops, not wanting to promote the game and get new players in until drop 3 is apparently good enough for new players, it's their fault that the QA was messed up in the first place and now they relocated the resources which caused delays in the first place, it's their fault if they lose employees and they can't stick to the quarterly updates in the future. It is their fault for allowing free transfers from Luminai to Jabbit and not allowing transfers 2 ways, so it's their fault that Luminai is dead, thus resulted in the ridiculous prices of CREDD because there is hardly anyone left there so the prices obviously get affected. So yes, their fault.

That doesnt mean that people have to overprice CREDD. They do it just cause of the reason that they are greedy. The other things you mention is a complete different topic. People dont HAVE to ask for 20 plat for CREDD just cause the server isnt as populated as they want it to be....

So... 26 plat for 1 CREDD doesn't seem expensive to you after having just bought 3 CREDD at an average of 11 plat each?
 
You didn't work for it nearly as hard as the people on Luminai have to, that's the whole point. So kindly refrain from denouncing other people for failing to living up to a standard that you aren't living up to yourself.
 
Honestly, sometimes the way people think baffles me...

CREDD is a not a right, its a privelage. YOUR way of self entitled thinking is the only thing wrong here.
 
Your not forced to buy it, and you don't NEED IT.
 
If you can't afford your sub in a SUBSCRIPTION BASED MMO then go back to all the fail2play ones out there, theres lots to choose from for people that can't afford a good MMO.
 
No ones FORCING you or anyone else to farm for CREDD to play Wildstar.
 
Can't afford to pay your SUB? Not our problem.

I pay my sub in cash, thanks. And I can afford it just fine. Nor will I argue that anyone should view CREDD as something they're entitled to. They earn it by farming. So pretty much everything you said while sneering the phrase "self-entitled" at me, doesn't apply to me.
 
Thanks for that, by the way. I do enjoy it when someone comes up and sneers at me about something completely unrelated to both my own opinion and the topic of the thread.
 
Since you seem unclear on the core problem discussed here, this isn't about whether CREDD requires farming. It's about the fact that it requires A LOT MORE farming on a low population server than it does on a high population server, which actually generates a disincentive for people to go there.

			if buying CREDD for 8-10 plat is the cost with in game currency, what incentive is there to buy CREDD with real life money? $20 should have a higher value than 8-10 plat.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Well, I suppose that depends on whether or not they plan to stay on the server after they sell the CREDD for an outrageous amount.
 
If they don't, then the price they sell it for does have to exceed the profits they'd get from selling two CREDD on their target server, to cover the cost of CREDD plus a paid server transfer and make it worth their while. Any plat they make beyond that is profit that they get in return for sucking the gold supply out of an underpopulated server and gouging the people in it.
----
			ive said this since day one.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Which shows your complete misunderstanding of a simple point, a second time.
 
CREDD is a privelage not a right. It doesn't matter.
 
Don't want to farm for it, don't have too. Your arguement of time in farming is irrelevant.

			I played eq2 since -04 and about 3 or 4 years ago they introduced Krono, which is what CREDD is and i honestly never ever heard anyone complain about this issue. Its just ridicolous... When Krono came they went from 300plat to around 900plat depending on server, nowadays its around 6000 to 11000 plat and still, noone complains. I guess having played EQ2 which was one of the most hardcore games when it came has made me realise you wont get the great stuff for free in mmos and tbh, 26 plat isnt worht arguing about when you get to play the game for free  as i have said before :)

{| class="blockquote"
If you feel CREDD is undervalued, you don't have to sell it. Walling off a few players from the rest of the market and gouging them to get what you think it SHOULD be worth is not a sustainable solution because they'll just leave.
 
*facepalm*

supply and demand...free market. I have been holding onto CREDD because it is undervalued and guess what?

{| class="blockquote"
I'm... going to guess that it hasn't gone anywhere, which I'm going to also guess is a calculated risk on your part that it will be worth more after D3 comes out and (presumably) demand goes up?
 
Just out of curiosity, is there some reason you'd buy CREDD without turning around and selling it? I'm a little puzzled why you'd buy it in the first place if you didn't think it was worth the plat you could get for it.

			Fair enough, thanks for indulging my curiosity!  :)
