a certain player who i will leave nameless for now in a rather respected alliance is massing any turn buyers who are buying for 1.1tril per 1k turns

a player i have a long trade history with was asked by this player to drop his prices he did'nt and was promptly massed and descended.

Seems in an attempt to keep prices low, people are wasting more turns making the demand for turns more.

Supply and demand. 1 person can't stop this.

i was mesaged by the same player asking to drop my prices i ignored him thinking it was nothing.

Who?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. ~T~

I don't blame him for taking the matter into his own hands.

Well, if he thinks he can do something about it, then you have to commend him for trying. This is the first time in a while that I've heard of a player massing traders because of their prices. He might fail miserably, but at least he tried.

Secondly, I agree with his assessment of AT prices. In my personal opinion they're at least 300b/K too high.

i disagree i'm making double what i spend on turns and i'm only usin one weapon

Jixx and others are not selling above what the market has deemed as the selling price.

if ppl did not buy at that price, they would not and could not sell at it... law of supply and demand.

I've just been offered a higher price ingame for my turns that 1.1t/k.... (not saying how much or by whom)... so ofc I'm selling.

Any asset should make a lot more than 200% of cost value when used....

Also, its how much naq people can afford to pay now that farming is much more expensive.

I think the root cause of the problem is that there are not enough turns available.
Admin can and should fix this by releasing more turns onto the market.

Thank you for letting us know although if you are serious about fixing a problem of this nature its often best to message the alliance leaders first.

Personally, I would have started to mass the idiots back in the day who increased the prices of turns out of greed but there was no way to stop it.

I do not believe this is right. It's wrong to randomly mass players for doing things like this, as it is their choice.

It's a pity though. :/

In the end, you were massed. All you can do is be thankful that he didn't mass every person associated to you. Most people do that simply out of spite. :/

hmm this is interesting.....wonder if LoD will come mass me

btw I sell turns for 1.5tril/k and have no problem shifting them!

1-1.1tril is actually massively undervalued.

Due to the shortage of turns in the game it really requires $$ spenders to add a stimulous to the market. Now if someone buys turns for $$ and only wishes to trade them (rather then use any themselves) this would mean they get 12k turns for $10.

Selling 12k turns @ 1 tril = 12tril naq - ergo $10 for 12tril naq
At best prices for naq on the market you can get about double that naq for $10
making the relative AT price 2tril/k
