Why do people buy naq using $'s?

Recently I've been looking through the forums, I've noticed that alot of people are selling Naq and buying UU. Then people are buying it, in big amounts.

The question is why dont you use abit of time and use your brain. This is what i mean......

Average Naq Price Per Trillion In $'s: $5.00

Average UU Price Per Million In $'s: $2.50

Average UU Price Per Million To Naq: 720Billion

So 1Trillion Naq Is worth double 1Million UU? NO, Why don't you spend some time and buy UU and sell it off for naq. This is what rate you would get per 1Trillion Naq then.

Lets do some simple maths.......

1000/720=1.39 (2.d.p)

2.50/100*139=3.48 (2.d.p)

Thats a total saving of $1.52 Per Trillion Naq at the average prices which people are selling at on forum.

just thought I'd help people out which are stupid haha!!


I dont think I've made any mistakes lol :D

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! :lol: ).

There's been a discrepancy in the prices for a long time now....used to be really bad a fair while ago, when uu were $4 and naq $12 :D

What they are doing is sell naq for $$, by UU with $$, sell UU for naq. You end up with more naq that way so can start again and thus just keep the process going around and around getting more and more naq.

Sell 1t naq = $5ish
Buy 2million UU for that $$
Sell 2million UU for naq = 1.4trillion

Rinse and repeat.

At least all the people I've been watching are doing this. If there are others doing something else then LOL!

Admin should simply lower the ingame blackmarket price, that way the money spent would go into the game, or at least to those who have worked hard developing the game :D

But then $-sellers would lower their prices so that people would still buy from them rather than the market... How much does it cost the seller to produce 1 million UU? Nothing. Any price is profit. They might prefer that the price was higher, and will sell for as much as they can, but that maximum is dependent on the other sellers and the ingame market.

I am not sure what I've heard is right but, I think players could sell AT's, UU's, and Naq for cash to. Do not take my word on it.

Various reasons.

Why does anyone buy a game at all? Making an investment here is no different. I've played this game 10 times longer then any console Game I've ever bought.
