Devaluation of Scrip

[Triggered]

Is there going to be plans to address this? As it stands, it is essentially worthless to other players when trading. Maybe convert most people's scrip to arkforge or elite boxes (leaving them some of course so they aren't flat broke). There is some good stuff in the elite boxes right now so its worth. Just a suggestion as it seems the economy is screwed thanks to past dupers and exploiters.

You can exchange scrip and arksalvage for elite boxes...Been this way for a very long time.

How about 1 scrip for 1 arksalvage exchange in the vendor?

What would you do with the arksalvage?

You all know what I mean forcefully taking scrip out of the economy thus making it worth something again... I get that maybe your are trying to protect the scrip you have either built up over the years or have illegitimately gotten, but have you ever stopped to think it is a good thing for the game to have a balanced economy?

The economy will never be balanced when new jp's are introduced every 7 weeks and the same ppl acquire them every event.

I agree that a scrip sink must be made, but, it will have to worth sinking into and not rely on the "blessed rng" that trion bases everything on. As it is now, when I use scrip, I know EXACTLY what I'm getting. Why would I change that for an rng system that has never favored me?

No just no, there are traders in game who have invested pot loads of money buy bit boxes and selling the mods on in game.

Why should they be robbed in effect of thier efforts and investment.

Saying that though there should be something done to rectify the hugely inflated prices going around following the weapons and scrip glitching.

I'd buy blocks of arksalvage, then turn around and use it and scrip to buy keys. Then use those keys to buy elite boxes.

Then prol turn all the junk that came from those boxes back into arksalvage.

i agree with Bentu, wouldn't be fair to remove everyone's scrip, what about those who earned theirs? They should have perma banned the duplicators and scrip glitchers. I also agree a viable scrip sink would be a better way to deal with the inflation - my 2 cents

You can't have a balanced economy in a game that literally prints scrip anytime you do anything but has no sink to remove it. Like Reb said this game not only needs a scrip sink but one that people feel has enough value that they are willing to part with it.

However that isn't enough because it also needs a scrip cap. This is just a ceiling that limits the amount of scrip a character can have. People wouldn't lose the scrip that they currently have they just wouldn't be able to accumulate more from rewards, loot, or trades until they are below the cap. This encourages players to spend scrip either on the sink or in trades which helps spread out the economy. It also has a side benefit of setting a de facto price ceiling for gear because any one item can't cost more than the cap will allow. Once the majority of the player population is below the cap then it can be lowered again and the process repeated until the economy is at a point where it is healthy and fun for everyone.
