Fixing the Economy

Wild23 · 08/22/2011, 01:48

I've been wracking my brain, trying to figure out ways Nexon could go about fixing the economy, after patching MabiPake. Obviously, they'll want to keep their player base and try to upset the least amount of people, while still making money.

I've heard someone say they should completely wipe all of the gold and have everyone start over again. While I believe this would be an amazing fix.. It'd upset too many people for them to go through with it.

It's sort of impossible to come up with a perfect solution. But assuming Nexon patched the ability to dupe completely.. Does anyone have any ideas as to what they could do to fix the economy?

Make an event that would drain the player's money for minor gain once the patch is done? So the players blame their gold losses on themselves rather than Nexon?

This wouldn't work.

1: An event is optional. No one would have to drain money on it.

2: There is millions, perhaps even billions of duplicated gold out there. One event, even a money draining one, isn't enough to get rid of all of it.

The main part of my post wasn't that little bit about the event, but rather "So the players blame their gold losses on themselves rather than Nexon?". That's always a good way.

Uhm.. That makes no sense. It doesnt matter who they blame it on, it's the actual method of fixing that matters.

wipe all peoples stuff? are you dumb considering people pay alot of money on gacha's im pretty sure atleast 98% of the community will quit, well maybe not cause all the smart people already quit only the idiots stiff stay.

Only way to really fix the economy is to give all your gold and items to 1 person that will evenly distribute some things out once a month, or whenever he feels like it..

I nominate Donarleon, everyone likes and trust him
am i rite

This might sound crazy but at first I had a feeling that this maintenance will not address the duping.(and still do, kinda) I think it is just a matter of them fixing monster servers. The fact that they extended it 2 hours makes me feel that maybe they are working on fixing the player save packets that allowed duping.

As far as I know, Nexon has always been aware of the dupe, they just did not have enough information to preform a patch on it.

I gave them info. I liked duping, but it was just to much to the point where the players who were fair couldn't buy anything.

I repeat just wipe out all the gold.

I'd love it if they patched gold dupe but kept item dupe. Item duping doesn't really hurt the economy as long as it's consumable stuff that gets duped (golems/stones/dyes/etc).

nexon is trying to make money not make everyone quit, think of this from a legit player's view "y am i being punished because of the hacker/modders/etc"

Pake cannot be patched.

Not all of people's stuff, just gold. It's just what someone else had suggested, I dont entirely agree with the idea.

I'd guess that this maint is probably for server stability.

Lol? Yes it does.

Imagine you have 100 Hebonas in all of Mabi. They'd be insanely expendsive, because there is only 100 of them. Now if you have 1 billion Hebonas, the price goes way down, because there is more of them.

Of course it can be. It's been rendered useless before, and I'm sure it can be done again.

I said item duping of CONSUMABLES. Demand for dyes/HW/golems/upgrade stones is essentially infinite.
