inflation is when the price of some item goes up, if everything goes up 35% or more almost over night that's because the currency has deflated in relation to the other goods. if you think this is inflation you shouldn't really be playing a economic's game
So what is it now? Inflation of the prices, or deflation of the value of the coin?Originally Posted by Ryuisnod
deflation of the coin
De-evaluation of the coin relative to scarce commodities (granite). Sparking an inflation in prices of goods. Onset by introduction of multiple new economic impacting artifacts (gold producing towers, cheaper triple buffing). In addition to standard inflation due to accumulation of wealth by aging players who have few outputs for their wealth.
BUT, is it REALLY a problem?
People make oodles of coin and are willing now to pay 3:1 for granite instead of 1:1.
That means those who have granite make 3x as much as they used, increasing their personal wealth, which they then fill back into the market.
So yes, the buying power of a single gold coin has diminished, but the abundance of it has increased. This is not necessarily a bad thing, until you start looking at items whose costs did NOT increase in conjunction with the de-evaluation of the GC (building upgrades).
If we use granite as an example, it used to cost 500 granite (500 granite for 500 gc) to upgrade a building to level 4. Now it costs 166 granite (166 granite selling for 500 gc) to upgrade the building. Therefore, to keep the system sane, the price of upgrades should increase with the market value.
(Another way of looking at it is, in an open market as this, all items should participate in the activity of the market, rather than some being stuck with old/static prices).
Yes, but most people prefer to call that inflation.
So, according to you, up to over 400gc extra from gold towers per day (unbuffed), aren't extra coins at all?
Nice "facts", Einstein.
their shouId be some type of gambIe system put in with great prizes buffs, buiIdings etc and costs coins to use maybe a new buiIding even if u have to prove ur 18yrs of age to keep it pegi-7 safe or an option to buff ur whoIe isIand using coins so they dissapear from the servers or some kind of perk is the onIy way reaIIy to stop it happening or BB wiII have to keep up with pIayers IvIing up buiIdings aIot faster and the boredom settIing in making new content
I'd say a more feasible way to even out the economy would be to introduce a new tier of resources and new expensive ways of procuring said resources. I don't think gold coins will ever hold the value they used to.

Why should BB fix this, it's a player created problem. It's in your powers to fix it yourselves.
