Ban The Middle Men!!!!

Post by Guest » 02.02.2010, 15:49

I propose that people taht consitently buy products (including coins) and sell them at a higher price should be banned. They are not useful for the Kapilands economy and are morally scamming people. They are making quick profits on the generosity of others. Several people make millions/billions just from buying and reselling. We should all make our money using "honest" ways.

This is an economic game. Merchanting is a part of every economy. That means people who buy and sell products, including coins, HELP the economy by keeping the cash flow in Kapilands circulating.

There's nothing wrong with buying and selling coins.
A lot of people are buying products and selling them for a higher price, and there's no difference to me if that's an "ingame product" or coins.
There's a few 'pure retail' companies out there, some choose to buy on the market and sell through ingame shops, others try their luck and resell to other companies.
there's nothing going on that's even close to a 'scam'.


what's next, banning people who buy any coins at all, because they get an ingame advantage over 'free' players when they get premium/VIP?

thats stupid.
there's nothing wrong with us resellers!
we make the prices go up (buy reselling for higher prices), and make some(alot) profit in that way.
It's a buisness game, make good deals, and then turn them into eaven better deals :D
make money, make money, make money.

Kingrewt, I jsut believe that you either hate middle men and because they make a lot of money more than you, or you just want everyone to make money only with production. Now, myself, I am a middle men, and whats wrong with being one? I earned a lot of money from production and would like to invest it in trading, since I worked hard for that money, then I can be a middle man. You have to have a lot of money to be a middle man, so that requires hard work, which results to making money out of your hard work, which isnt an easy work and process.


I trade in coins as a middle man, and make a lot of profit, and it took me a lot of time to come up with the money to buy and sell coins.

Though i am currently selling wells on Realm2 quite cheap because I am a nice guy and there have been so many people buying the wells and waiting till I have none of the latest batch left on the market selling my wells at a higher price. I am just annoyed that some people take advantage of others.

there's not a single bit of 'taking advantage' in there.

every single real life shop works just like it... their buy price is lower than their sell price, that's how shops make money. :roll:

In my opinion, the fact that you can sell them to the system for only 50,000 caps, yet there going for 150-200m between players, its a bit extream.

That would be like if some one bought every item on the market and re-sold them for 4000 times the actual price.

The only reason you can't get in trouble for selling coins for an extreme price is because the coins are paid for with real currency, if some one tried this with a regular in game product jacking up the price that high then as stated by the rules, it would Risk your Account.

To me, the smaller companies are the ones missing out, because with the current price for coins you'd have to make a profit of almost 5b every month to pay for a membership with coins. to me its unfair for the companies around my size.

my company's fixed assets are equal to the price of 2 coins bought from player market.

I think the amount of coins needed for a 1 month membership should be reduced to make the current market price of coins fair. but it won't because that means less money for kapilands development... even though most suggestions will not be implemented... i guess this is what the game means by "Economic Simulation".

Its about time some one brought this topic up :)

Umm... that's unfortunately what's happening in real life as well. People are taken advantage of in one way or another. I guess that makes Kapilands rather realistic.
