Majinkoz, last months CIs were around 800 near the end of the month, starting at 600 near the beginning. The prices for this months CIs are unstable and should stabilize eventually. ^^;; And actually, I was one of those people selling my sets at 700g. Its better then there being no sellers what so ever. I actually purchased those sets through trades and through buying at a much steeper price. I sold them to get into the economy at a lower rate then I bought them for. 700g a set is actually a pretty decent price. ^^;;; I've seen sets go for 1k+ and not just one or two, but quite a few. [oh that rhymed! :'D]
And off topic, your avatar is very cute.
XD<3

And is it really abusing the system to refresh pages getting buds? Because that's the only way to get them. If you want to stop people from refreshing, another item collecting system needs to be put in place.

Either way - I do know that Lee and Ken are working on fixing whatever the problem was. :)

It is abusing the system to sit there and refresh the page fifty times in sixty seconds. Which I do know people did. :)

It's not really abusing the system to do a few refreshes while you wait for a response or something, but doing nothing but refreshing is farming and farming is abuse. :V

And, yes, I'm very aware that the only solution to farmers is to make it harder to farm.

CK, is there a way to determine which IPs are refreshing like crazy? ^^;
If there is, you could give them a warning, and if not heeded, a ban for 2 hours possibly?

CK, Is that what they did? That sounds stupid and way lazy..

I went through the shop pages and my thread pages to find my buds. xD; I don't think I was abusing the system...

Wouldn't it be incredibly boring to keep refreshing? Did they really profit enough to make up for hours lost to mind-numbing clicking? D: That sounds so boring!

yay, a discussion thread
hn, too bad i'm auctioning my stuff instead of selling them out-right
oh well what should be the bid increment be for the Channah's Panties on my Head! item?
i have it at 5og but i want to increase the bid increment so i can earn a little more gold!

I'm not sure - something I'd have to ask Ken about, I think. XD;

Yeah - that's what I did. I looked through the shops while trying to determine the order I'd buy things/what I would buy next. I'd put that on the level of "mildly" abusive. XD; Because we did have legitimate business to conduct, even if we were also running around the stores for little reason. >__>;

I know that people stated outright that that's what they were doing during the event. XD; I know I saw several people say, "Sorry for taking so long to reply, I was refreshing like crazy the last 20 minutes!!!" So unnecessary. :P

I agree, it would be boring. XD; I made plenty just from doing my normal Menewsha things. I know some people weren't as lucky as I was (either in terms of time to spend on Menewsha or simple statistics), but the whole point in the buds system was to earn one or two commons a day, not a whole pair of wings a day the way some people seemed to think...

In my personal opinion, I think 50 is the best way to go. ^^ It lets you and your bidders keep track of how much to offer next. Any higher and it'd be either more complicated (ie: 75 > 150 > ...) which leaves room for error, or maybe a little too expensive (ie: 100) for people to feel comfortable bidding at.

At least, whenever I have a bidding war with someone, it seems more attractive to me to not have to pull out a calculator to see what my next bid should be, or get irritated that I have to increase my bid by a large-seeming amount that seems to be purely for inflation.

I just perused shops/profiles/website x.X;;

:O refreshing = makes my computer lag. xD

I imagine some people used code to refresh for them and search the page for any buds/orchids. That doesn't even require being at the computer and it is much faster than manually clicking, anyways. So They can run their code while they sleep and wake up to several thousand buds.

Anyways, since there is a maximum of 1 mule per person, there should be a time limit for collecting items like buds and orchids. Like, 1 or 2 buds per minute maximum.

As for inflation, the only way that will be fixed is when the market is made or if some items that are 'rare' but not limited in quantity are made.

This conversation makes me feel like the only person who went running through the forums posting like mad xD

I'm feeling vaguely stupid today as it's hot in this room. But what do you mean by something that is rare that's not limited in quantity? XD;

They are only as limited as people donate for them.

i think she means like on gaia the stuff that come in those special pink boxes, blue boxes, ancient chest, etc etc. they're not limited in quantity, but they're rare. :O

They were rare when gaia was smaller. XD Now its like 509473827358235 users get it each one every day on there and 95% of them get opened >,>;

Ah - I see. :)

Though it's beyond me how that'd help fix the economy. XD;

LOL i was wondering the same thing myself.

Sorry if this is off topic... but does anyone know why the 50% thread was locked?

Probably so Juru could catch up with it or be away from it without it getting out of control.

She'll open it back up when she can I'm sure.

Thanks for letting me know. I was wondering cause she usually posts before she closes it.

XD Well, either way, it got closed, so it's sort of the same thing.

I'm sure if it was a permanent Close she would have said so. XD;

I was kind of wondering too. I'm sure she's just catching up though. I would hate running that thread. So much work.

A lot of ppl were posting in Juru's thread like mad... I wouldn't want to have to deal with that many transactions. XD

Sorry for late reply.

I mean an item that is hard to obtain but never becomes 'limited' like collectibles (after the month).

An example would be an item that is obtained by getting a very high score in the arcade. They would be hard to get so there would be very few of them but they can always be obtained.

People will sell their collectibles to get their hands on it. It's worked in other games.

So true, I buy stuff every time she's open. xD

@Smellerbee: That would increase sales of CIs, I guess.
I kind of like the idea, but at the same time it's just another thing for some
people to hoard. .__.
