Devaluation of Scrip

[Smokey Black]

I've been sinking most of my scrip into t4 lockboxs nowadays.

A weekly income tax could be imposed.
40% of scrip could be removed from each characters account every week during reset, and redistributed to needy players.

This would be terrible. 40%? No.

And how exactly to define a "needy" player? Someone with 20K of scrip because they just spent 30 million on a weapon?

I had an idea about nano and catalyst mods.

Basically do away with them but have a scrip cost for nanoless weapons that you want to put a nano on.
You could also have a scrip cost to change the nano on weapons.

Wow, you must have a lot of scrip to burn given how bad the drop rate percentages are and the fact that 64 keys cost ~325k.

I've always just seen this as a terrible scrip sink because all you are doing is playing the jackpot lottery unless you pull OJ weapons that aren't a BMG, sniper rifle, or shotgun (which is all I pull). And that's when I get an OJ because most of the time it's a purple BMG, sniper rifle, or shotgun and 3 blues that get fed straight back into the vendor.

They need to make T3-T5 Rarity catalyst mods.

It baffles me with some of the newcomers thought process when it comes to the haves and have nots. The vets have 3 or more years head start on grinding for gear and loot. Why would you think we should have equality when we've spent 1000+/- days more time grinding to get what we have. I alone have spent a years worth of play time at conflict sites killing and collecting keys/loot to amass my valuables and riches. Now you think Trion should turn socialist and spead my hard earned wealth to the have-nots? Aint going to happen without a fight.

This has always been an issue though. In year one, people played the game while others did the boring grinding days on end. I pulled 4 to 1 boxes compared to the casual player therefor I pulled much more valuable loot. I put in the effort for what I pulled so I was paid for that by other players.

Now I agree Trion blew it with the inaction of exploiters. These numbers are just a guess, but Id guess we went from about 500 billion or so total scrip in game to about 700 billion and a few weeks. When players are gloating about having duped 15+ t5'd supreme Until Deaths and have well over 3 billion scrip, then Trion failed the rest of the community by ignoring at least the top offenders. BUT AGAIN, this problem shouldnt trickle down and become something I or any other vets have to pay for out of "balancing the game".

Scrip sink idea...

Update all mod vendors by getting rid of green mods and add t4 and t5 mods. 100k for t4s and 500k for t5s.

Add a event mod vendors for past event and charge double the standard syn mods.

Id probably blow through 100m scrip on day one.

Why charge double for standard syns?

At any rate, bringing back the exchange would help. Just ban IP addresses if duping and exploiting occurs.

If they allowed us to purchase nano and catalyst mods through the salvage matrix system there's no reason they couldn't charge a variable scrip charge per rarity.

This would also do away with the tons of junk mods the game has to generate and lay around.
