What's Wrong With The Economy?

it took me 8

 

The problem might be the mythic drop rate might be too low and people are overpricing it? idk tbh. I'm just guessing at this point

 

Definitely possible as due to the low rate there are more mythics than others causing an imbalance in prices

 

Probably since there's no real way the economy drops.

The economy keeps rising because since mobs drop infinite amounts of emeralds if you grind, only way to even out the economy would be to clear people's money periodically, or create a system that can cancel out all the emeralds people get


But I'll quit Wynncraft if they add taxes, cuz that's fucking stupid

 

Ahh very good point I can now see the problem

 

One thing that could help would be a huge money sink in the form of an extremely difficult raid-like dungeon, where the only way to get keys are to buy them from merchants for like 10-20+ LE, the keys would also be untradeable, the dungeon would of course have untradeable rewards, forcing the player to buy multiple keys. I know my example is pretty shitty in the context of a suggestion, but I think having more massive money sinks other than horses and re-identifying would at least help the economy a little.

 

Good idea and the rewards would require you to beat the boss multiple times to get just one reward. I think you should suggest that on to the later corrupted dungeon rewards. Something like you have to buy special runes to fix the broken key.

 

Yes while this would create a black hole for money, it woulden't fix the economy, the mythic prices would probably stay the same. Honesty the only way to fix the economy imo, would be a hard reset, clean slate, banks gone, classes gone, mayby guilds could stay, but territorys gone. And even that would only fix it temporaly sooner or later we would have the same problem, so a hard reset would be fucking stupid and would probably kill wynn.

 

Well, those corrupted dungeon rewards are starting to get pretty fucking powerful even for legendary standards, I'm willing to bet the dungeon rewards from the Corrupted Undergrowth Ruins/Galleon's Graveyard will at least be comparable to Mythics, making the mythic cost possibly go down.

 

1. Horse prices or exponential
2. Mythics have been duped
3. LE have been duped
4. Quest rewards brought in inflation
5. Black horses used to be 1 LE cause VIP town
6. Mythics are slowly added in so the price ranges are ridiculous

 

Duping was in the past and pretty much everything besides white horses was cheaper then.

 

I think there's two ways to fix the economy: as @Cruuk-huud said, a huge money sink. Multiple huge money sinks.
Another way would be to make Mythics more common and slightly nerf them. Mythics are the main problem right now.

 

Either buffing mythic rarity or chance to get good stats on a mythic would be good for decreasing prices along with a money sink to make the richest a little less rich

 

the economy is improving eg quests give 4x less emeralds after the gameplay update or some other update

dont suggest taking hard earned money of people thats just brutal
eg i never had a mythic i have 3 classes above level 90 and i got about 3 stacks le from quests. i have 10 stacks rn which i got over hard work i never had a mythic so im an unlucky person
taking money of me (rich)is just brutal

 

I never said to take money, I said to increase mythic chance or increase better stats to drive down the price of mythics. Also I talked about a money sink, money sinks are an optional choice for a player that allows them to use a bunch of money in either a gambling way (re-ID) or for them to waste money on.

 

increasing the chance of mythics to drop would be nice for people like me (never had a mythic somehow has 10 stacks of le) but it would cause chaos because of people with mythics complaing that their mythic they spent 10 stacks of le is worth 1

 

Problem with increasing mythic chance is if it does lower value of mythics it'll make the already rich richer and make the poor poorer.

 

so it'll mimic america?

 

Not always, it could always be a lucky breed and do it with only a few horses.
But you'd might as well buy a lottery ticket if you're going to do it without any failures.
