[Survival] For the next month, the Emporium will not buy items

[Cireshie]

Why do you complain about the inflation when you are adding Steve co crates weekly? Isn't that spawned in money just in item version

Usually when Towelie announces a new crate, he adds it to /ml for a ridiculous price sort of helping the economy.

Also, I don't know if he stills gives everyone one out when he announces them, but if he does, that doesn't help.

EDIT: Not to mention steve co. crates don't make it worse. From what I see, it just circulates the economy. Yes, it is spawned in, but it's not like you can sell it to the emp for a higher price.

Encourage richer players to do drop party's at spawn and invite the new players.

I remember drop parties used to happen alot at spawn, hosted by players and this is how i got items to build things when i first joined.

Weekly isn't really the adding time, it's usually 2-3 weeks+, i take some of the blame for placing idea's towards new crates and whatnot, but the more the merrier ey?

I've always thought the emp shouldn't use spawned in money and use the money they make from players buying items, would be cool if that's how things worked, and as for the emp selling items it should be up to managers to mine and gather resources -- of course to make it fair we would multiply everything they gather by 5x or so, gives managers a reason to play and have fun as well keeps tabs on the items and emp brought into the game

So like
Week 1: managers gather resources(emp closed completely this week)
Week 2: count up what was gathered, multiply and put up a list on forums for stock and sell

And repeat

This would just keep the managers even more busy great job dpa XD

[paul_weebird]

whatt? emp can buy stuff of players why would you do that towelie? 

[katoon123]

Allow players with less that a certain amount of emp sell at the emp.

[Towelie]

Allow players with less that a certain amount of emp sell at the emp.

People would find workarounds.

Mhm, people will use alts to sell their main account things.

[krankenstein20]

its 20 pound for an account not many peeps would do that for little money

There are tonnes of ways to get cheaper accounts. People might use siblings accounts, friends accounts, or even illegal accounts.

What about only Autoshop owners can sell to the emp during this month?

[ChoctheMilkman]

Perhaps you can review the Buy/sell prices at the Emp, if there is a severe leak maybe there is an item worth a lot to the Emporium, but easy to get?

i feel like this would work for awhile but maybe not forever......there is usually a large demand for some items and it might now be possible for manager+ to keep up with their already busy job so i think we should try it out and see where it goes

[Eternal_Jamie]

If the emp does go back to buying things after this month, at the very least a rule of how much you can sell during any session should be enforced across the board. Could people find workarounds using friends etc.? sure. But it's still better than buying 10+ inventories from one person. Just limit buying to 1/2 an inventory or something. Maybe this happens already, know a few of us did it when I was an admin.

That will just make them more wealthy, and will be unfair for those who do not have autoshop perms.

Anyone know how one might get around to selling 10-17 double chests full of carrots and potatoes?

[BritanniaRules]

My thought Onion... just like the new (give me real money and pay again in SFT) /Warp Autoshop feature... double dipping anyone?

This will just make the rich players more rich.
