How to fix console economy
MrGigglypants
✭✭✭
1) shorten posting duration to 48 hour's.
2) implement a posting tax of 15-20%.
These two things would create a buyers market because players could more readily refuse to purchase items at outrageous prices.this would be very detrimental to the eso"flippers" and healthy for the economy.this tax ofc would go to no one and simply be removed from the game.

on a serious note....you understand the steep taxes help remove gold from the in game economy right? An economy that is, or at least will be on console at some point, over saturated with gold because there are not enough gold sinks?0 -

I misread your bullet point.
No I actually don't like adding another tax. It's already steep enough.0 -

✭✭HOW ABOUT V16 PVP GEAR?
HOW ABOUT V16 TRAIL'S THAT DROP BOE GEAR?
Your suggestion to fix the economy will not work because there is hardly any merchandise to sell...
It was a good day to pvp all day and use all your AP and receive a piece of Morang Tong or Shaowwalker and make a good 20-100k (depend's what you got).
This was the time where it was okay to pvp none stop. We need more gear to sell in general.

You're clearly new to mmos if you don't understand the purpose of short post duration. It offers a risk for overpricing.0 -

The tax should be used on gear for those who risk their lives defending the country in Cyrodiil. If it were not for the patriots in the trenches, enduring horrors of The Lang, the Covenant would have long been overrun by the Commies or Chinese and *gasps* collectivized.0 -

It's not difficult but that doesn't make it ok. Simple tax and duration principle will combat flipping. It's just unhealthy for testing game and deters people from playing.0 -
Dradhok✭✭✭How about a legitimate AH so guilds can be used for building strong community? Currently most guilds are pretty antisocial on console. The whole guild trader system is ill-conceived it turns guilds into weekly raffles where the members never actually do anything together.0 -

In a system that we have now, guild traders, spread throughout Tamriel....
This would only be detrimental towards at leaSt 75% of the playerbase. I price my wares at "sell now" prices but it all comes down to location.0 -

✭✭What are you worrying about? Temp alloys are now going for 15k and my guild has kindly agreed to inflate kutas to 20k. Most sword motifs go for 20k upwards. Robust agility rings for 100k and an easy grind. Get out there and farm some more, stop being lazy or reevaluate your prices and find a better guild store to sell in. Many better ways over writing on a forum that 3 people posted on.PC Master Race

No matter what they implement it's a buyers market not a sellers market....... I never ever buy from a trader, only impatient people who want to spend 1000x the actual price do. Simply ask around in town and after a week I gurante you will find the item for alot less it just takes patience which most don't have......0

✭✭Innit. Also have something worth selling. I still come across people trying to flog me ambrosia fragments for 150k a pop lol. Daedric for 70k?? You can clearly tell they worked for months trying to get one somewhere only to miss the marker by some degree.PC Master Race
