Ok i know im not the only one who knows that stock are either constantly going up, or down, or generally staying the same over the years i understand this i mitigated a bit by the fact that they do fluctuate a little bit but overall if you were to look at the lifetime of the stocks you dont really see a difference. Generating random news at random times every couple of months causing a spike in people buying and selling stocks to drop/raise them further, for example the merit for losing or gaining 100m from stocks is virtually improbable without buying a stock and knowing if it will tank or succeed from when it first comes out so i suggest this idea to make it easier for newer players to get stock, create an alternate way of gain/losing money, and giving us the ability to gain those sweet sweet merit.

Getting busted by a private investigator causing a scandal in the industry dropping prices a bit, news of donating to the church raising the prices, the general items we buy and sell going up and down with the events going throughout the year, people trying to out buy all of a certain item to sell at a higher prices amount of mugs on people working in companies bringing the prices down. the amount of money in a companies vault adding contribution to the stock, nukes being dropped near certain areas on the map because who would eat a radio active lollipop XD... all ok ideas to help stocks move around a bit more this way, no single person can majorly influence the stock blocks.

i'm pretty sure this will take a while to update, but it is an idea i think could get looked into. If anyone has more ideas to expand this idea, feel free to add on

Its a nice idea, but some merits should be difficult to achieve and require a level of skill/luck

If we got given everything on a plate the game would become very boring very quickly

i'm not saying to make it easier... just trying to make it more viable... lol im not trying to make it go up or down by millions, just trying to make the stocks more realistic and give another way to earn money even if its an unstable way to do so.

No offence mate but you literally are saying make it easier lol

i was saying for getting stocks in general, not the merit... the merits required you to lose or gain 100m all at once. so yes it would make gaining stocks easier but not make getting the merit as easy as you may think i doubt the stock will drop or grow 100m from what i have suggested above if so what in the world are these players doing XD.

I know what the merits are for as I have got them, the 100m ones aren't that difficult at all I had assumed you were referring to the 1b one.

i doubt the stock will drop or grow 100m from what i have suggested above

If your suggestion doesn't make the stock go up or down what is the point? Committing developer time to add little news headlines that don't affect anything?

I'm not even sure at this point what you are suggesting, its too diffuse.

ok then what would you suggest to make this better rather then just writing it off.

I'd suggest you put some though into your ideas before posting them here.

You've clearly just thought of a couple of concepts and made posts for them without thinking through what they actually do and whether we need them.

Like I said in the first place, its a nice idea but you haven't given any reason why we need it in the game.

I am not going to do the hard work to make your half baked ideas make sense, nor will anyone else.

easy then just don't bother typing at all thats the easiest solution... this isnt a solutions thread its a suggestions thread and anyone who wants to help can do so at their own discretion. so stop posting unless you have a genuine concern that i legitimately didnt answer it not just you didn't read it or if you dont have anything to help do the easiest thing possible and say nothing and let the thread die on its own. ngl this idea was sorta half baked i didn't say it was needed just that it is something that can be done and i gave ideas on how we can overcome this issue because what happens when torn gets even bigger and more people start buying stocks prices will only get higher and higher over the years with no real way to drop them i'm just giving a "suggestion" that is all

Considering all I have said boils down to 'put more than 5 minutes of thought and effort into a suggestion before you make it', you are clearly taking this way too personally.

You are free to make suggestions, and I am free to criticise bad ideas, simple as that.

You should also read up on how the stock market on torn works as I think you have the wrong end of the stick.

Have a good day.
