Just out of curiosity, what gym are you on? Can't be much more than beginning of heavy weight but maybe I'm wrong. Price points dropping is kind of a kick in the ass for guys that rely on the passive flight income but there are other less passive more profitable avenues. As much as low points price does tank the sets (and therefor points) economy I do think that cheap points is probably not going to be too bad in the long term. 

 

Oh and use more xanax. Idk why you are smoking so much weed lmao

Mid way heavyweights so not fully progressed but I was in a way more chilled and with lower perks faction for about a year.

I don't mind losing value for passive income or semi passive income we knew it would come; what frustrates me is the focus on mainly newer player income as opposed to older or the fact they keep talking about the future and they take money to give money in different ways but when?

 

weed is affordable xanax, not so much lol... trying to build bank savings by buying xanax all the time is not easy, but now that I have some decent savings I can do one a day.

Weed is good btw, not better than xanax but that increase from 2 3 nerve to 8 12 makes difference.
As a newbie doing weed can speed up doing crimes a lot.

I mean slutting one xanax a day pretty much pays for itself and 2 more. Also you should be able to afford 2-3 xanax a day off of travel alone. Make a budget, stick to it and watch the gains

My god no wonder your logic never make any sense. What makes you think there will be no points on the market if people stop flying? The majority of points on market or overall in game comes from Ranked War and Rackets. How long havent these two point printing system been active for? There wont be a shortage of points any time soon, these retarded changes is only effecting new players who used selling points as a income from traveling.

 

Prices will drop, there will be a big enough market from points due to RW and rackets and voila price will stay low.

 

No wonder nothing make sense in Torn. Theres no logic behind anything chedburn create, specially when he have someone like you kissing his ass on everything he does. And you are suppose to be a COMMUINITY manager. Jesus how you have failed us all.

"Rackets generate 11m points annually.
The subscriber draw generates 7m points annually.
The points given from opening donator packs generate 5m points annually.
The points given as subscriber benefits generate 18m points annually.
Ranked warring rewards generate 24m points annually.
The museum generated 261m points in the last year." - Ched

 

Except they dont...

Supply and demand is REALLY hard to understand for some people.

 

Bogie is wrongly assuming theres zero supply and will be high demand. . . Unfortunately theres tons of passive daily supply, and next to no demand at all.

They also timed it right after museum day just to crash the market even further, one has to wonder why

Conman27 [239575]

Bad time to do it. Unless the drop in price is deliberate so it stimulates points usage on the things they will be adding soon. I sure hope it will be soon. Overall I see this as an attempt to remove points from circulation and stimulate the inter-player reactions. 

 

If so. Bold Move. I prefer to believe in bold moves opposed to incompetence. Benefit of the doubt for the staff on such a big move. 

 

Also, the market is already rebounding. Now it is entirely dependent on usage rather than disappearing from circulation entirely.

pretty sure at the moment the points market is being propped up purely by mega-rich speculators setting their own floor to buy up all the points...

Matty_h [48911]

Can you get us an update from LtWolf on when prices will go back up? 

You can’t expect us to believe Ched and his team forecasted points dropping this low and so quickly?
