Used Weapon Market Declines - new update

Used Weapon Market Declines
The price offered for selling back used weapons has decreased. I suspect everybody wants new weapons so the value of old ones dropped...
This will also make the 'mass/sell weapons to avoid retaliation/rebuy weapons/repeat' tactic a bit more expensive...


Kinda sad that the defense weapon is also affected, decreases by about 200,000 naq...i just lose some trillions there..no compensation at least for current weapons on hand as some soft of cushion? So is it still worth to keep on ascending till the 20th, because now you not only lose supers, the UU and naq requirement but the resale value as well.

Good point, with the new changes, weapons should not get taken away for APP in ascensions.

a very lame update.........wonder if they actually want you to play the game


less then half your naq back from selling fleets which you cant keep and same goes for the attack and defense weapons

so much for fighting wars and then selling off to go raiding ...

:?:
What's with the 'used' bit, though? Brand new, unused weapons' resale value is the same as for used weapons...

WORST UPDATE EVER!!!!!

Why not just make it impossible to sell them at all, in fact why not make it so you cant even log into your account.

Goes to calm down.

:(

edit, worked it out, I just lost over 2 trillion naq.

Another banking way bites the dust. :-D
I don't know, but I kinda expected this would happen sooner or later.

Don't worry.. everyone will adapt and change to encompass the new situation in their strategies. Makes for some interesting moments to come.

Lmao I remember how attack rank thing (as raid rank thing at the moment) generated total disagreement from players...but here...I expect WAY MUCH MORE disagreement!


WORST UPDATE EVER!


(I'm not someone who is used to criticize enhancements though)

lol, funny how nearly everyone supports this in chat, and then here none speak up...

Can't say I personally am a fan of it though, but hopefully it will begin to satisfy those who wanted some penalty to those who sell off. Doubt it, but meh.

What will it take to get a rollback?

how many people in the chat were large players who have ascended to LG+1 and probably wont ascend further? How many smaller players would go to a chat and suggest something? When I was reasonably new i made a suggestion on an upcoming enhancements thread and was laughed at by the experienced players..... being told "play for a while longer and you wont think that way because you will have learned the game". Now how many people would actually want to go to a chat and make a suggestion after that treatment?

there are other ways to stockpile naq as profitably, but it may mean that people will hve to trade for FSS before ascending (or purchase it).

This update will hurt the 0 stat players - and also make recovering after ascending harder, screwing the smaller players.

Suggestion: return selling def weapons to the previous % and keep strike as they are. This way the 0 stat players will be hurt, and the smaller players wont be hurt as much.
