Economy balance discussion

[magergxd]

Of course, adding new minigames with higher payouts would work... in theory if not idealistically. However, as this thread and I have mentioned earlier there is now a so-called "economy". This would just give rise to prices from natural in-game sink holes like future housing, outfits, cash poses and whatever else ends up being implemented. Not to mention other prices such as apt designs and code sales would be rising on the basis of inflation(this WILL happen). This is not a problem that would be solved by throwing money at it (literally). It doesn't matter if said loopholes for money farming are patched because then these so-called higher payout games would be farmed instead and we're back in square one with lots of money and rising prices. Nothing changes.

Playing the economy game is nothing but a viscous cycle. event/cause>effect(problem)>"solution"(event/cause)>effect . This is a bit simplified, it's essentially what I see happening.

The best solution in my opinion (albeit radical, so brace yourself) is to nip the problem at the source. Find a way to eliminate the artificial economy that the game has established until a better solution is available that would allow for an economy.

Once again like before, I would like to apologize if my post offended anyone. I had opted to cut back on my closing statements as I felt that I was beginning to sound biased and pointing fingers, so I refrained from continuing my thought and stopped at a reasonable point.
