Something about equipping supreme weapons and changing weaps would somehow make the player drop stuff on the ground and others would pick up said items and sell to vender. Blue or green mods and guns.. not sure how anyone could make millions like that but I never tried it.

Sounds like another grinding method for minimal cash. Besides, Scrip is only good for Mods at most. Its hard finding a seller bc its better to trade Stuffs than sell it.

This. For some reason, after upgrading the rarity of an item to Supreme, it would cause the player to drop loot whenever they equipped the Supreme. I ran across this on PTS when Supremes were still being tested and filed a report. The bug went live so I reported it again on 08-18, but since I didn't have unlimited resources to figure out the terms to recreate it, I left it in the hands of Destromathe to figure out. 3 months later, it has finally been patched. Good things happen, just not at the rate that people expect them to.

EDIT: Players could also drop Epic mods and weapons while exploiting this bug.

instead he sold 20 mill worth of weapons for ten mill and stayed Legit.

How is making 10 million scrip "struggling to survive"? Is he having difficulty keeping up with his Paradise Territory taxes? Maybe the power bill is going unpaid and the gas has already been shut off? Can't buy gasoline for his Challenger and lost his job at Top Notch because he didn't make it in by 9am taking the bus? Are the baby skitterlings starving at home?

No, apparently he is well off enough to sell things below market value. Again, is the struggle real?

It's not hard to be rich in this game without having to resort to infinite "gold" cheats. I did it without even buying bitboxes.

I'm not well off in this game, but I can be, I have 500k but really, Scrip isn't everything. And playing the game is more fun than selling.

I have played this game 4 3 years And I have just a little under 8 million scrip I have spent a lot of scrip over these 3 years.

Another problem I see , besides exploits, is the number of people in this game who don't actually play this game. You know, the ones you only see during events, they get a jackpot here and there, expect huge amount of scrip for said jackpot, then gone until next event. Most are people with no idea what a good gun is or what rolls make a gun good. I am selling my jackpot.. HM?? ??? ... make offer... nty... I heard from a friend who told me that they saw someone offer 30 million.. so I want 40 million .

This is why the economy so screwed up. It will eventually burst like a bubble, you already see see a slow down of people buying.

Without scrap, all the script in the world is worth nothing. Unless you plan on selling one JP to buy another.

So what your saying is that PTS is good for absolutely nothing. Good to know.
