AT's Update replacing discussion

move it to the appropriate are if it doesnt belong here
recently at's have been "killed" by x5 to x10
if this has been done to lower the heavy farming then its wrong coz at's are the core of the activity, farmin/massing
now could be interesting if instead of lowering at's quantity , which leads to hight prices + little quantity around, it could work lowering the income ratio generated /turn.
ie. a farmer playing 3 hrs wont have lot of accounts wit naq out , say a 300b account makes 35b/turn if he makes less then the farm will wait 2 turns to make a normal hit.
many farmes tcheck their farm list/or through ranks and hit whos affordable and worth , they log off or do another round in a hour.
lowering income rate /turn will share farms and lower the farm quantity /hour ,
whos active enough will be the top one

Now this is a curious argument. How do you earn less cash now, Jack?

(Forgive me, I must be missing an obvious mechanism.)[/quote]

I agree, though i'm not sure that greed is what has driven this update.
People seem to think that buying AT with $$ has an unlimited supply. Where as in reality, there is a limited supply, and supply has actually been cut into 1/4 of what it was before

greed is here even if not from top down
how do you feel about AT's 1 trillion + per 1k
that idea was laughable a year ago now its a possibility
greed will be here with players even if intent wasnt greed from admin

My recent profit margin has gone from 300B to 1T.
So even if they go to 1T, i'll still have a profit margin 66% higher then i did before

admin can easily add more ats to the market for $ anytime he wishes just like i can add credits to my traffic exchange whenever i so wish

Otherwise, I'd still have been kept doing it until this.... -ahem-... "update".

My 3rd. MT had always been used for AT's.
Is exactly what i did. That or UU from the market. I remember where i did the maths, and the cost for PPT, was FINALLY outweighed by the income generated.
But as of now, most(/all?) people use 2 for PPT, and the last for something else(merlin, lifers, AT). Game Market hasn't been the main method of getting AT for at least 2 years now.
PS: Thanks for your response, but it sort of supports my personal view. Which is that, most MT's are used for PPT, and the ones used for AT, only got you 500/week. Whereas most people would but at least 5k/week
No trouble
I'd agree with that too. I think it would be new(er) players who would be mostly the ones using it as a main source of additional AT's. At that stage, the ones they get cost them very little, which helps because their small incomes. Later, they'd just fall in to the same pattern (2 MT's for 2 PPT's) as everyone else, once their size + income grew enough.

Wonderful... This is just an opportunity for regular AT sellers to bump AT prices even more, as if they weren't expensive enough. The funny thing is how long it will take people to catch on that there is actually little to no difference from before, considering next to no one would purchase ATs using the market trades anyways.
