My way to Fix the Markets/Economy

[Wulfies]

You claim economy is doing bad, so we need changes.

First, please go back a re-read my first paragraph. No where do I say that the economy is good/bad/sideways. I am just trying to provide a solution to a "foreseen" problem.

I continue to try to explain, we need you to present your evidence, not tell us what or where to find it. My entire thread highl-lights it out to the community. You want to battle one side or the other, present the information we need. Don't tell us to go find it.... Its YOUR ARGUMENT, SUPPORT IT.

But your thread is basically saying that your proof is that there is no proof. /shrug

In regards to your second sentence,, I am just countering your claim that there is no way to determine which way the market is going. Once again, XML is not my strong suite, but if it was, I would be able to provide the coding to get you this information.


Regardless, here is what I believe has happened in a nutshell, with testable proof, and some extrapolation.

Theory: SE has implemented supply-side economic policies (either intended or inadvertent) to "help" new players to have an equal footing as some of the legacy players (which is, imho, stupid as they should have kept the new players away form legacy servers).

Test/proof: I was able to level my 45 cook from 45 to 49 (approx 1.2mm exp) within 20 minutes via HQ leve turn-ins.

XIV Pads Timeline Please look at the Jan 11th and Jan 12th amount for Culinarian.

Extrapolation: Now, if I can do this for culinarian, what is to stop anyone from doing this for all their DoH classes. Soon, given this "ability," we can start seeing everyone having multiple crafting class(es) at or near 50. With that everyone can create almost everything. SE has basically lowered the barrier to entry which is the basics of supply-side economics.

Solution: My above solution was to mitigate the supply currently flowing through the economy by artificially creating demand for items.

I am trying to find solutions to the problem rather than trying t point out its faults (cause lets face it, anyone can point out faults, but not may can find solutions)

Humor me and explain how you did this.

Humor me and explain how you did this.

First, head to the MBs and buy or have a buddy make you the following items:

Deviled Eggs HQ
La Noscean Toast HQ

Note #1: You have to buy HQs
Note #2: for every 1 Deviled Eggs you buy, you should buy 12 Toast. (makaes it simpler later on, trust me)

Now with your stash of food, head to T'Mokkri and choose the following Leve quests:

The Egg Files

Bread in the Clouds

Head down to the Aethyte Plaza and speak with Bango-Zango and do the turn ins. Rinse and repeat as many times as you want.

The leve quest with the toast is repeatable with the same leve, hence why i told you to buy 12 for every 1 egg.

You can repeat the same strategy from level 10 up.

Getting to level 10 is the most time consuming part... from there, just figure out what leve at your level range demands what item, buy a few HQ versions, stock up on low quality (CHEAP) versions of the other stuff... spam turn-in's for massive XP.
