everything needs to go up

[dreadpirate]

you know what, that's just messed up. I have struggled to achieve the upgrade level that I am at now, as it is. And now you want to increase the amount of the upgrade??? That's insane! I spend a lot of dollars on moves every week, and I mean REAL dollars, not MD, and I think it's outrageous that you want to increase the cost of the upgrades. I've been attacked by what I refer as heavy hitters since I've been here, and have been struggling to achieve my upgrades....and really have no intention on cashing out. I think you can come up with a much better plan to resolve the "issues" you are referring to as your justification of raising the costs of the upgrades, etc.

Hey cheetah,

I think the consensus is that if there's a raise, it should be for folks who have already cashed out. Thus I assume it wouldn't affect you.

If you're spending a lot of real money on moves, and getting hard hit all the time (taking the md you get from those moves away), why don't you pay Eric to move you to the boonies? It's not that much money, and you won't get hit there hardly ever, so it would probably be a good investment. And with judicial use of survival packs and teleports, you can still stay in the inner quadrants doing your daily business (unless you're a subscriber, in which case you can just teleport down there and stay).

But yeah, I think the issue is the people who cash out one month and are up to 20/20 the next. Some of the people who have been here longer, and whom it took months and months to get to 20/20, don't think that's exactly fair, and I can't say I disagree with them.

thinking,  plz thinking

before can get 20/20 they also start from 0/0 then take a month n a month n a month to 20/20, then cash-out, after cash-out they get 10/10, so its still good level to hold md n get a lot md too.
n they also use their "BRAIN" how to get upgrade more faster.
"not just sit n suggest to eric, its not fair to me"
i already see debate about this long time ago, before the card n trade place in here.

but i not debate about that, coz they join early, so they get the reward for that n they use their strategy to maximum, so why i wanna debate about that, i just play n play then get the maximum finally.  

THEY ONLY JOIN THIS GAME EARLIER THAN U
SO WHY U DONT JOIN EARLY BEFORE THEM

So you could only get that from a broke homestead if it was abandoned then... that's the same as abandoned homesteads already.

No clue what you mean, lol. Maybe I'm just being momentarily dense. But can't you just get md cards out of abandoned homesteads? I've never heard of getting md cards from broke homesteads!

Well Jeff said that if the homestead is broke but they have md cards that one of the md cards should get cashed so that the attacker gets md's.

I think that's bs and should only happen if the homestead has gone abandoned in which case it would make that homestead like any other abandoned one.

Thanks.

Personally, I think the md cards are working pretty well as is. If someone wants to pay 150% to get them, then by all means let them (besides, I get extra money that way!)

Maybe you could do it like this - after the prescribed period of abandonment, a homestead can do one of two things. If it's broke and has no MD cards, it goes abandoned immediately. If it's not broke/has MD cards, people who come across it can search it for its money/cards, until it's broke.

If that made sense. I really need to go to bed.

I have so far stayed away from this debate, just watching to see what people are saying.  I see 2 solutions above that seem both reasonable and would work.  I do actually think there should be some raise in the cost of upgrades, but i was thinking maybe 10% for upgrades under 10 and 15% for upgrades above 10.  The 2 solutions I see that would help the most regarding people cashing out and then being 20/20 with about a month are either after cashing out instead of cutting in half cut down to 0/0 and go from there, or after cashing out double the price of upgrades.  Both of which would prevent someone from being 20/20 within 30 days after cashing out.

I would like to see after cash out the stats all go back to zero/zero. And Start all over again, trades are limited to a certain amount during the week,and less moves for the colored cards except the rare ones. Also,
People who use the same IP's for family members , Should not be able to trade with each other.

[7upncider]

i think the whole zero/zero prolly is the best thing to do. its seems to be getting alot of good feed back.

I like this idea alot.

also

If familys want to trade between themselves then i think it should be a public trade and if a family member wants it so bad then they will have to pay like the rest of us, instead of some of the bargains i have been seeing where its a insane give to just one person.

Yeah I have seen it alot as well among family members doing trades that is outrages but also I have seen it alot too where folks is doing the trades but it seems like that is being forgotten about, only focusing on folks living in the same household.

Welp might add more to this.

I don't understand what this means?

[Spyderman]

Okies let me put it like this that only the family members that live in the same household that can't trade because some is outrages thats where the focus is mainly on.

I seen alot of trades that wasn't among the household that was outrages in the past, present and maybe the future but was wondering how the admins is gonna keep control of this where other folks will make the outrages trades because I believe that the focus will be only on the folks that live in the same household. Thats what I believe.

[minijumbuk]

i think its abit harsh to say "no trades between people within same household" but rather, a quota for the volume of trade seems more fair... :roll:

[Spyderman]

I can see the trade isn't right between the same household that shouldn't be allowed but if the trades among the household is equal then it should be allowed.
Just my thoughts again about this.
