And you sound like someone who needs to think more before posting, pal...
As it happens, I (still) have the lowest prices on the AT market, which is, I believe, the opposite from being an inflater.
And I'd love to see how you mass someone on PPT

If you gentlemen want to have a go at each other please do it in PM and not in a market discussion. If your opinions differ there are much better ways to communicate this.

lol prices could go upto 1000 to 1, and it wouldn't really be a problem.

I cant see the prices going down to be honest, specially not with all the wars going on.
If someone says they will buy at 80bill/k, someone will try to bet it by saying i will buy at 82bill/k, then you get a chain reaction. Ive seen ppl buying at 85bill now and im sure it will hit 90bill within 2 weeks and continue to rise if ppl are happy to pay it.
Incomes are rising so costs of resourses will.

Keep in mind also that although the turn prices are increasing, raid targets have more and more UU out. Back just when it was 70bil/k, I would stop raiding below 80k UU. Now at 80bil/k, I stop raiding below 100k UU, and I still find enough raid targets to go through at least about 10k ATs/day on average.

Yes while the prices right now really benefit the larger players it is really hindering us smaller ones. While we do all the hard work to supply UU's to people it makes it extremely hard for us to grow so we can be at your level. I was raiding over 2mill UU/ week and am on strike at the moment I refuse to contribute to the bigger players growth with my sweat and blood. I will buy my own AT's and raid my own UU's and not put anything back into the market till we can keep more than 35k UU out of 150k raided. Sure I can be pickier about my targets but that just means more work for me just so someone that doesn't need to grow as much can grow more.

You guys know there are other ways to make a living like farming active players for naq. I think I am gonna switch to that real soon and I know I haven't set peace to morons selling AT at 80 bill or 120k uu/1k AT. More naq farmers means more chances for you getting hit. Be smart about it.

Add 10, 15, 20, 25, 50x multipliers in ingame market and boom! Demand in BM will go downhill pretty fast! Believe me!!
Until the market runs out and has to be reset every other week, usually screwing up completely for the few hrs beforehand like it used to.
If you can't afford the rates then obviously you are not farming for enough naq or raiding for enough UU's per hit. The rate is always going to go up, more naq and UU's in game means higher cost for AT's. Those who say the price is down to wars are incorrect, just wait and i will be proved right, prices don't go down after a war, if you're lucky they stay the same for a few weeks, but as soon as a war finishes then a lot of people involved want to raid to recover losses, which means more demand, which keeps the prices high.

It's simply not possible to remove the black market from gameplay.
The black market was created as soon as players where able to transfer recourses and was created because there was NO ingame market. also think of the consequences, you could no longer be able to help your officers or your alliance mates.
I think the only solution is to simply not buy them if you dont like the rates and that will then force the sellers to lower their prices.
Of course, you would need to get the entire server to do the same
you could get rid of the ingame market but all that would do is push up the prices on the black market.
Guess we are stuck with it
