Price Tags

I have an ide

I sent this to admin but I thought that I should parhaps make a thread of it insteed since theres a section for ides here in this forum.

There are no barriers for how low or high the price can be set for products, so why not create barriers? This would save alot of time for the admins because they wont need to look around if the price tag is right and then catch the cheater, its much better to do something about the real problem in the system. Otherwise, there will be an endless circle of people breaking the rule you have written. "Yes, we are all crazy apes running around in this community the few have created, and the system is far from imperfect, just look at it"

But enough of that.

Im talking about a built-in function in kapilands, when you make contracts and when you put something up on the market.

Contest products should also have a higher min/max price so people wont sell them ridiculously cheap or for millions each, and ingredients for the contest product should also have a higher min/max price tag then normal. And other non contest products should just have the normal min/max price tag.

Contest products should be removed automatically from the market when the contest is over becase the price would not be right. And if the right contest product just happens to be in the market before the contest product is announced, then those products should not be removed, lucky people should be able to buy these.

The minimum/maximum price tag for products should also vary dempending on the quality it has.

No, no, no and no.

If the list was public than people would sent right at the max to skirt cheating. Why allow cheaters to access this list?

Contest products:

1. I will never support a max/min price for contest products. The whole reason for a contest is to help smaller companies out by having the rich spend money. Having a max price would limit this and be against what the contest has been around for.
2. Insain market offers, such as old contests items, do get deleted in time.

I think cheaters are already selling these contest products for much more then the barrier would allow them to so this would make it much more fair for everyone. And if the whole reason for a contest is to help smaller companies out by having the rich spend money, then why not make it impossible for larger companys to sell contest products? Maybe when you become Entrepreneur or something.

I see no cheaters selling contest products. They tend to sell other products for insain amounts. (Steel for 300,000 instead of 135c.)

Define "large company". When I think of a large company it is people with 10B FA+. However, someone your size may think of a large company as someone having 500M FA. See my point?

I did mention Entrepreneur "level" to get some kind of ide of what size im talking about.

And I said "larger" i was comparing with the smaller companies that you talked about whatever size that would be. Manager level and below? And what do you define as the Rich?

Concerning your point, maybe you should follow it yourself?

I didn't define rich for a reason. Like I pointed out, depending on the amount someone has will change his/her oppinion on who is rich. I consider someone to be rich if they have 10 billion+ Fixed Assets. However, others might consider me rich with only my 2 billion+ Fixed Assets. Do you get my point?

This is why I don't support a level stop on contest products. (Besides it being a major code rewrite to try and ban someone from selling that one product at that one quality.) ANY company at ANY size can produce ANY product. That is the real world and how this game works. Why should we limit companies over Entrepreneur?

On realm 1, the winning company usually spends billions to get that place. How do that get that kind of cash? Either they are big enough to make that kind of net profit daily or they buy/sell coins. If they sell coins they are usually selling to other "large" players and spreading the wealth in more way than one.

Yeah, i do get your point, but i never had a problem with understanding that in the first place, as you can see, i did write what a meant by larger companys. So your point feels somewhat non-relevant for me

Why should we limit companies over Entrepreneur?

Well, it dosent necessarily have to be Entrepreneur, but i thought that it must be a bit higher then Businessman because that level is pretty easy to reach in one contest. At least it was for me, sold coffee powder q2.
