Thread: Cashing In On Paying Players (Suckers)

  1. #1

    Text Cashing In On Paying Players (Suckers)

    I knew there was a benefit to having paying players coming onboard in abudnace. They compete over resources in the market and WE, the freefers, win. There is no advantage to them paying in if they are only going to make US stronger in the end. Oh man, I love to see payers paying obscene prices for resources.

    What I love even more is turning 1,000 lumber into 20,000 food or 15,000 stone or 10,000 iron (more like 10,000 lumber into 100's of thousands of other resource and gold.)

    Build more sawmills than you need. You can easily convert lumber into other resources and profit extra gold along the way.

    P.T. Barnum was right.

    I mentioned one thing, there Mr 5 posts. I stand by it too. Let people pay in and make the rest of us "rich" becuase they may build a little faster (if they are smart) we can build monster defenses just as fast if not faster since defenses take much more than lumber.

    hobobob is right... There really is no link between the 2.
    The reason lumber (and eventually iron too) increase in price so much is that is is used so much for creating units and defenses.
    It has nothing to do with paying players...
    Paying players just generally have more scripts for lvl 10 buildings and medals.

    I think he's talking about players paying for resources on the market.

    But in doing so, he's failing to realize on essential truth: markets behave wildly differently on different servers, and even on the same server, fluctuation occurs often.

    While he's ranting about lumber prices on his server, he's completely oblivious to the fact that many players experience a wildly different marketplace.

    I'm not ranting. Good grief! yes, every thread MUST be dedicated to a rant in some way. You are the bestest psychic evah!

    My point was - and still is - payers are dumping gold and resources onto the markets ON NEWER servers. I was giving advice on how to cash in on payers. Let them pay in while the rest of us cash in on them. It makes me giggle when I think about it.

    Sorry, I meant to say "rambling". It's not a rant. It's just nonsense.

    Wow....

    For all the badgering you gave me you certainly are a hypocrite. Bravo



    Sorry in advance to the Moderators if this is "name calling," but I think it had to be said.

    And your point... is invalid. Since there is no link between payers and resource price. What do you think payers spend thier cents on? They dont convert all cents into gold then buy resources.
    Even a server with no paying players would have high lumber and iron prices. Thats simple economics. It's called supply and demand.
