Hello,

 

This is my first thread and as a player with only a year of experience, i can say, you locked the Torn City from new players. I personaly get from the total sewer via running the plushies and flowers. To be fair, this income is nearly dead. New players will have now less chance to catch or even compete with the more experience players. Yes, you decribed the positives, but be aware, that torn is getting older and older. Without this faucet for new players, you are locking torn and it will by years start to cease. Because: Old players are maybe loyal, but they will be only older and older and, sorry to say it this way, be dead once. After that, you should check if there is even enough player generation and sustainability. I see this major flaw in the plan. Yes, nice faucet from crimes 2.0. I agree, but that is maybe 20% of income in comparision with plushies. With this move, you make Torn less accessible towards the new players.

 

Even me personally i get to the torn more after plushie running. Untill that moment, i was just wandering arround and just getting here once a day. Because i had no options how to make serious money. Going to job in army and other stuff? For that funny small wage? What i can buy for it? Live in a shack maybe for ever. Be in an Faction? Who wants to have a rock on the feet in the faction and a player, which is unable to attack even a sheep plushie without a damage?

Find a better job? Which with the job stats at 0? I was lucky that somebody gave me a chance and invested into me dozens of torn dolars. I can say only huge thank you to Nodelore he get me a hit. 

But now? Who has this much luck? Not everyone.

Setting the pawn shop to a lower point will be better. Opportunity for muggers? Yes, that is the answer. Sell points and the new accounts which will sell them will be robbed. 

 

Torn will be extinct in the future. This is the end of the fall i predict, because now, new players are doomed.

You do realize you can still buy a plushie for like $400 and sell it for 140x that amount right? A 13,900% return is great no matter how you look at it. Or if you're not in an LS and choose the route that doesn't bleed energy, then an 8,405% return. I don't know where else in Torn you can get that return other than this "nearly dead" market.

 

Edit: Well you're not in an LS yet are flying to China. You might have bigger things to worry about, like your huge energy loss (convert it to cash and look at the millions you are losing) and gimped progress, rather than a change that brought your plushie return down to 13,900% from 18,900%.

It will be dead, the price for point will go lower and lower, so the value of the sets in museum will drop drastically. Only good, what is bringing this is for players which are beyond the begining. We can now have cheaper merrits for the exchange. But the newbies? 

Torn will be a dead valley in years to come. It is not about you, or even me. But the growth of torn and torn getting older and older playerbase. 

For etc.: I am IRL 33 years old. Maybe i will be here untill my death, expecting somewhere approx 70 years. Torn is here for several years.

 

So i have active 37 year maximum as a peak. But i know, some players are here beyond 65 and having playing this from nearly the start. What about those players? You want to make torn accounts as a value to sell? I think that is prohibited by rules, but you will be forcing players to do those shenaningans... 

As i say, Torn will extinct. This is the base stone of ceasing. Lowering the pawn shop price would be reasonable solution, but not taking this opportunity for new players. 

And the plushies will be sold with losses. Mostly the players which are generously buying the plushies from plushie runners in trades will be not interested anymore. Because: The risk of loss is now high, they cannot selll points safely. Maybe the strongest and oldest accounts can. But the middle is screwed. Mugger paradise. 

 

That is the reasone of locking Torn. Even a razor wire will not be that effective as this is. Market Value will drop, massivelly now. My interest to plushies is ceasing, now i am trying my last flight. I know i will be mugged, because i will be forced to sell it in market. So no to laughable profit. 

 

As i say, i need to find another solution, or i may disappear from the game too. Again: As a new player, this was your nearly only option, how you can get from the sewer at least in half decent pace. But i understand, you do not need to care at all.

Ranked wars are far more profitable than plushie running, you don't need to be an old player or have crazy battle stats, just join a newish faction. 

Nexus [105937]

Honestly, the dramatics are starting to get tiresome now...

 

Points are down 11%, and there are other new ways of earning, including new OCs, on the way.

RealTeel [3008047]

I try to be understanding, and I dont like to bash anyones play style, but i will never understand. Your older than me with only 64 xanax taken.

 

It is apparently obvious to everyone reading this that you:

 

a.) Don't take the game seriously

OR

b.) Just don't care

 

So why do you feel the need to complain about things in a game that it is obvious you don't understand? You saw the other complaint posts, figured you would jump on the bandwagon?

 

And not even a TL:DR??????

 

GGN. And i mean this with no disrespect.

Again: New players. Like it is beyond me, how you gone to level 34 with a younger account. I didnt have enough luck to have probably a good mentor, or you had an account, which you lost before and you know well what to do, or you had a really great mentor.

MariaF [2876754]

As i say, some players are not so lucky to have great mentors, or you are a smurf account with dozens of experience, but your forgotten your login credentials. Otherwise it is beyond me how you can have that level. And i am literally honnest in my words. I am here daily. 

Gladion20 [1832984]

You opened saying this is your first thread.  We can all see your post history, and that's false.

RealTeel [3008047]

Your in a 17k respect faction the leaders are barely older than me.

 

It's not hard. There is TONs of guides. And people Will literally SPAM you with guide links for you to read.
