Why do people buy naq using $'s?

[Mordack]

When I used to deal in resources, several of the people who purchased naq from me did so because their accounts were too large to recieve or raid additional UU. I guess that's one possible explanation.

I've always noticed the price difference... anytime I've bought anything with $$ I've bought UU (not done it much to be fair)

If I had the time/inclination I'd buy UU with $$ sit on it and fill my bank then arrange ppt's with a friend and sell the UU for naq and then sell the naq in my bank and from the UU sales for $$...

but I'm too lazy to do so... I occasionally sell my UU for $$ if I need money... otehr than that I sell it for naq and increase my base up...

200,002 base up

300k is another 41-42 trill but at least then I can have a nice rounded number...

Well although I've played this game for at least a few years, I've never looked into this, I know you can buy Resources through the Black Market (Cash Market), but I can not figure out that players could sell their Resources for Money. I kinda like to do that if I could and know more about it. I wouldn't rely on this game if I'm wanting to make Money every day, I would think I would get a few dollars or so, but not as a job.

you should check out our Canadian Dollar, our dollar seems like crap compared to the US Dollar, a site I use say 1 US$ is worth $1.23237 CAD (did I said that wrong? )

Probably because either they have far too much money to know what to do with or understand it's value, or they're just stupidly desperate (whether your calculation is right or wrong! ).

wolf beat me to it lol


more money than sense, and when you have more money than sense, then you cant be arsed to go threw all that trading for the sake of a few dollars lol

But, many of my mates play on-line poker and spend $100s' of dollars per week. Madness

They seem to loose more then they win, but when I ask them they say, why not, it is just cash.

So apply this to a game.

Additionally, some people get more fun using $$$ to spend on a game then go putting into beer + girls (men) + funny substances.
Sure, your get a buzz, but at least after a massing in game, you do not feel like pup in the morning

On the other point, I am shocked how many players find it difficult to work out pricing strategies on naq/UU.

At the moment it is a buyers market
