we should obviously bring back hyper inflation caused by stocks.

im sure this mechanic totally wont be abused by hundreds of players in a certain faction mega alliance. ( this totally happened)

lets totally bring back merc work in ranked wars.

im sure this mechanic totally wont be abused by factions and have them simply print money every week (this totally happened)

lets totally bring back endless spamming in trade forums and chat.

im sure this mechanic totally wont be abused and cause a mess on the forums and in trade chat. (this totally happened)

Chedburn, did you know my singular opinions represent the entire torn community? i obviously am the most important person in the game so do what i say! I NEED MONEY CHEDBURN MAKE THE GAME EASY TO PRINT MONEY NOW!
Satan [612696]
How dare you speak to the OP in "such a manner" dont you know they are the most important person in the game? hence why they speak on the behalf of everyone.

I mean you can be anyone.
Merc work still exists, PT not getting contracts? My friend from PT saying he gets plenty of hits in.

AD agency was activity that damaged torn trading scene. You can be anyone in torn as ling as its within rules. Whats wrong with that?

Stocks still exist, they still move here and there and people earn on them albeit less than before. They nerfed ridicolous inflation potential, they didnt remove feature all together.

You are 434 days old blue name player that wants everything now, without any delay. As Andyman wrote once "If you expect to get anywhere near top of torn in less that 5 years, you will be dissapointed by this game and quit"(not exact quote).
Torn is marathon, not a sprint.

Looking at the list of top 100 battle stats.

The top 7 people have stats in the quintillions. If you scroll all the way down to number 100, stats drop to almost 38 billion. Now 38 billion stats is still a shit load, but doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.

Was it intended for players to reach stats in the quintillions? Obviously not, if steps are being taken to stop it. So my question to you is, if 7 people out of, i don't know say hundreds of thousands of accounts were able to accomplish something that wasnt intended. Would you fix it, and let those 7 be outliers, or would you let the whole goddamn player base keep going, eventually reaching stat levels that are truly ridiculous, as if quintillions weren't already.

The top 100 is still a respectable achievement, albeit one you are just as unlikely to reach. If that ruins the fun for you, or for the "many of the player base" that nominated you their spokesman, then all I can say is, Can I have your stuff?

I think most of us overlooked the 'build your character to infinite strength ' part. Ched defaulted that we should be strength whore when he created torn.
Penetration [2340613]
Your last comment really shows how little you understand Torn, and it contradicts your whole argument. The add says "build your character to infinite strengths" and then you're upset that players have built their characters to infinite strengths.

Having been on here for over a decade, having supported you guys monetarily (yay I have blue name that means nothing) for almost 2600 days, I've come to the realization that this game is never going to progress.

Anyway, I quit. Already gave everything away, or trashed it (enjoy the dump search for big items!).

Trade chat is still a spam fest lol. Stocks were nerfed after I started and why does me having a blue name matter in this post at all? I think it’s irrelevant and people use it as a way to disregard what I say.


My points, that dramatic game changes have happened that “HAVE” added limitations to what you can do in game, are still valid.

Here’s what is rarely said out loud:

Torn needs revenue to pay for the servers and make sure the paid staff don’t have to get other jobs.

Revenue is a function of how many people pay for DPs.

DPs bought is a function of the % of player base with passive income over ~25 mil (or whatever DP pack value is in Torn cash) per month + training expenses (call it 80 mil per month)….

They can’t prevent the DP secondary market because part of DP sales are due to people who want to convert them to cash.

So their option, really, to control who has passive income over ~25 - 100 mil per month. Anything that makes it to easy for the masses to get into that range WILL be nerfed because it’s a threat to the long term viability of Torn. Ched won’t run Torn for free, and he sure as hell won’t run it at a deficit. You wouldn’t work for free either.

Merc work is still possible.

Trade chat was just spammed with nonsense and useless 'new' traders and shitty factions most of the time and asking people to ranked war in their cache farm, it just means to use trade, you do it yourself.

You can still day trade and make money, you can hold stocks for a couple days and make money.

The 3 points above, sound like you have a skill issue and are just too lazy to advertise for yourself (which I did do at times as well through the AD agency, but didn't complain about it)


Why should people like BB, Xanty and realist have to be held back on stats so new players can catch up? That's not how this game works. Did you buy your blue name in the hopes you could go toe to toe with people who put 10+ years into the game?


Typical complaint thread from someone who hasn't been around long enough to know jack shit.

Quadrillion.

Now that there's a stat cap on SEs at 500T (5T a use), a quintillion is pretty much impossible. You would need 200,000 SEs to take a stat from 500T to 1 Quintillion or about $90 trillion.

Oh noes!! Please don't go! And if you do... Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Tiring responses from the same people.


Bro has a blue name, hahaha, his opinions are somehow invalid because of it.

Bro is in PT, that makes his opinions shit.

Bro is less than 2 years old.
