People donl't just use PPT to make naq - and you have to remember that the market prices can fluctuate.

I noticed nobody complained when there was a fluctuation a while ago when you could get a PPT for just over 2 billion!

The point is - take the rough with the smooth.

who now has huge income was a n00b and was scrapping the ground
for a few mill.
so this whole question is about fair-play , do we allow new players to grow
or do we impose them the prices that are now?

Cosmic MarketPlace


Due to the difficulty in 'policing' the player to player trades, the number of people reporting being scammed, and the increasing time the game administration had to spend chasing these reports of being scammed, an official trading marketplace has been introducted.
The marketplace provides the ability for supporter status players (those previously able to trade resources) to exchange Naquadah for untrained units for turns for currency.
It also allows non-supporter status players to acquire supporter status with only ingame goods.
The market gets its goods from other players, and is initially funded with goods from accounts that have been suspended or deleted due to rule violations.
If one good becomes far more in demand than others (ie everybody wants turns, for example, and trades other goods for turns) the exchange rates will be adjusted to make the other resources more attractive.

Refresher wrote:a fair solution to PPT prices would be that PPT would cost the player
a percentage of what they make during ppt .. say 20% per turn
the naq/uu/turns will go to supply the market.
this way a small player will have the same an opportunity to use PPT to grow
and rich players will pay more and supply the market with more.
also a good thing would be a 1% tax on turns traded or sent and that tax
used to suppy market as well.
