Economic reset.
« on: February 21, 2013, 03:29:57 PM »
Its simple, we totally reset the economy on the city server.
Right now 80% of people playing city(Who are normal citizens) are walking around with 25-50k tokens on them, it's made the economy a joke in the city, the only people who buy stuff is the CCA.

None of the CWU overhauls worked/will work because of the large amount of tokens and v flags running around, reset people/make v flags applicable so you have black market trading, instead of just the lolspawning going around.

Honestly, if VIP's and gold's have that much of a problem with resets taking fake money away, why are you on a serious RP server?

I hope that one day people in this community will realize that the solution to all problems is not a reset of the system. You haven't convinced me enough as to why this should be done.

Because all the money is just sitting in/on peoples accounts and not going anywhere other than just vanishing from them lolspawning shipments.

Most of the problems with the CWU is because no one wants to roleplay food or any of that, which is why this hunger mod is/will/may be added, but all that's going to do is make more lolspawning because its cheaper, and basically everyone can do it.

By taking v flags and the tokens away, it makes people need to work for their food(Thus roleplay)/items(Radios, guns, etc). This will make shops more successful and black market items harder to come by.

Honestly, this is the only thing that we haven't tried to improve things like the lack of black market and lack of CWU on citizen interaction.

Removing v flags from donators would solve most of the issues. That way donators don't have a 25k bank of tokens and an income of tokens that allow them to constantly buy food.

This would reasonably work. I advocate this motion over a complete economic reset. However, you have to balance this with incentives to donate. It is reasonable to say that many people donate for v flags.

Well considering it's a donation and CG isn't obliged to provide anything in exchange for a donation I don't see the issue of removing them.

If you take v flags with out resetting the money then it won't work, people could live their entire RP lives off of 50+k and rations and never have to work.

 There should be a restriction on how much crates of food and/or items one player can buy within a week but that would cause too much problems for the administrators such as a increase in alerts from players who need assistance, careful watching over the server population, checking the console once and awhile, etcetera etcetera. There is a variety of possibilities in order to make the economics in the server successfully work but what we need is good planning to make it happen.
