Inflation and kinah's worthlessness

I started playing 1 month ago or so.

I built an EAT jewelry set by buying it from people during the first week or so. Got a few steals at 1b the EAT belt, had to "overpay" 3b a ring sometimes, but each day I had some opportunities.

Like many, I craft to make kinah. I make scrolls, food, and DDK sets.

However, for the past 2 weeks or so, even though I have potentially large cash reserves (I stay at 20b but I can farm 1.5b per hour or so), there has been ZERO opportunity to buy stuff. Spamming for two weeks, I haven't been able to buy anything, and I've spammed for stuff in the 500-1000 credits range.

3 weeks ago, 10b was 1k credits, nowadays it's nearly 30b. The consequence is Kinah's useless.

I'm pretty sure crafters around the game have noticed the same thing. What you produce sells (for kinah) really fast, but you can't do anything with it (and I keep raising prices every 3-5 days, still sells in a minute).

Is it due to double credits and people farming votes with proxies? Kinah should be massively disappearing from people paying 5-10b to remodel their armor, consuming 4-5 types of food/scroll at 2.5m a piece every 5 mins when pvping, spending 1b on 100 serums, etc..

And yet week after week, kinah's even more useless.

So where does this massive influx of brand new kinah come from? Crafting doesn't create kinah, it just makes it change hands. Same thing for selling credits.

The only thing that creates kinah is killing mobs, vendoring the mats and voting (voting is not even 1 scroll per day lol);

People don't vendor mats/drops.

It seems to me the only conclusion is somehow, somewhere, someone is massively creating/duping kinah. There's no other way to explain the current kinah situation.

And sorry to say, but it has a lot more impact than some duped egt/eat sets.

 

a random hacker said they only dupe items that are worth like 2m then sell to shop so that it would look like legit LOL... <--- but this is quite true ryt? :x with that method it will never be traced IMO >.<

 

Yeah after 1k credits became more worth than 4b i stopped trading things... I really hate people who just lough on other people and hack their way... I will wait till the economy is back to normal and start vendoring again..

Well are there any other solutions than wait till the Admins / developers fix this thing ? I gues not..

 

its really ridiculous when it comes to scrolls now especially flight scrolls, I used to be able to get scrolls for 1m-2m a piece but now its 100 of them cost 500m

 

im starting to feel that i got scammed after selling 2k credit for 93bil lol i got the kinah though :x guess ill have to purchase everything in broker now xD

 

i have to agree things are getting wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out of hand. the in-game economy needs to be adjusted

 

True. About 2 months ago I bought 2k credits from Negrodamus for just 3b :'( now I doubt anyone would even sell 2k credits for kinah.

 

last month i sold 500 credits for 3b so id say this is getting out of hand

 

The only true kinah's sinks in this version of the game are :

- broker fees
- NPC stuff (supplements, premium shards, arrows, kisks, etc)
- teleport fees

The only kinah that really gets removed from the game is due to this. All players trade (credits, crafted stuff, etc) is only kinah transfer, neither creation nor deletion.

And broker fees doesn't seem that much, but 2% of the total amount of kinah for sale on the broker is HUGE. Personnaly I sell 3-5b a day on broker, that's about 100m in fees.

For the game's kinah amount to remain stable, it'd mean just for me, one player farms mobs and sells for 100m of drops a day to a NPC (not a player). Having done the elder/cemetary mobs, I know vendoring your drops is about 35m/hour.

And the game's kinah just keeps on getting bloated, selling consummables you can actually see it increasing, even when raising your prices to mad levels, you have your regular customers whisper you all day to get more.

Anyway, personnaly, since I can't use the kinah I have for anything, I just simply stopped crafting anything for others. I'll buy my own stuff with my credits and that's it.

 

yeah i dont see myself selling credits again. ima stick to using them for myself
