Ok, so I did research (i.e. opened Wikipedia) and found this: "Gold sink is an economic process by which a video game's ingame currency ('gold'), or any item that can be valued against it, is removed. This process is comparable to financial repression in real economies. Most commonly the genres are role-playing game or massively multiplayer online game. The term is comparable to timesink, but usually used in reference to game design and balance, commonly to reduce inflation when commodities and wealth are continually fed to players through sources such as quests, looting monsters, or minigames." So, I understand taxing symbols but everything else comes with a cost, vehicles, mods, even legendaries (bought with either in game currency or G1C) and aren't exactly "continually fed" to us. It's also kind of annoying if you buy a legendary with in game currency, decide to resell and in order to sell, you have to make a 20% loss in order to be competitive or risk bumping up the price and having it sit on the MP until the cheaper options sell out. So I guess removing it isn't viable but it might need to be looked at.

Hey, where'd you get your signature? And how did you add the image? Couldn't figure out how.

Depends on how you go about it: Ram Raiding - easy but my brain goes numb and I leave the district after 5 minutes just to go get stomped by some Enforcers Missions - dependent on performance, boosted with premium Marketplace - have to have what people want

I know that, I meant if I made something, I could dupe and resell it. Wish I was that artistic though, best I could do was an explosives warning symbol and an imitation of the Enforcer max rank symbol. Sold the warning sign for about 8-10k.

I feel that it's competition that's more important in balancing prices, not the tax, because all sellers are losing money and I don't particularly understand why, unless Enforcers are being paid with tax money, in which case, I need to stop supporting my enemies lol. Also, you can lose money by buying ammo, though you'll likely make more money in the time it took to empty your munitions. But, if I can dupe and resell, then all I need to do is sell 5 symbols instead of 4 to make the same amount, right? ------------- Maybe I'm just not understanding, feel free to help me clarify things

THIS

Oh, that's neat

Ugh percs...

Please don't touch remote detonator, I like using it with brick and sending a mobile bomb right towards my enemies I'd be cool if they added a SHORT cooldown but remember there's a delay dependent on the distance to your vehicle, in addition to a 2 (?) second base delay.

Me too

I hope this gets seen, I'd like to see a Ford Raptor or Dodge Ram Rebel TRX in game. I like my Pioneer's steering and toughness, a pickup version of that or an entirely new vehicle would be nice to see.

But... coupons

Hmm, nah, I'm good.

Maybe someday down the line after they've made enough returns (To ARMAS my brothers and sisters! Fill their coffers so that we may do away with the name of Gamersfirst!) Jk, unless cost was the ONLY reason LO doesn't want to change the name.

Silence! They're small adults! Lol

Sounds like a kid-friendly game company tbh. I'm a kid at heart but still...

I just add * e.g. *sniff* Refuse to use my brain and try spelling it, stop trying to hurt us.

An anti-cheat banning based on personalities? Damn, that's... impressive. Jk, I'm assuming you mean that those with such personalities do dubious, ban-able actions. Let's see, getting new people looking at someone else code: Difficult, even with one to a handful of experienced developers in the mix Now, have that code being not optimally written/documented: Even more difficult (if it was me, I wouldn't even bother honestly, it sounds like a pain. Guess that's why I'm not a game dev yet T.T) Knowing this, I suppose I should be more patient... But I was banned over a year ago and since LO came into the picture, I can't wait to get back into the game. So there's a conflicting feeling between knowing that it isn't easy and eagerly counting down the days til I can jump in, except you can't count down when you don't know when D-day is lol.

Ok cool, so if you make multiple posts with no one posting in between, it compiles it into on big post.... (This is my 3rd post on this topic) EDIT: *gasp* I'm wrong, and now confused.

Maybe it's cause I haven't spent thousands on this game (started playing when I was a broke high school student thankfully) so I'm totally fine with the exclusive rewards thing. Maybe have different tiers so the more you've spent, the more you get. Coupons! That'd be great, then I wouldn't have to wait on sales when my broke self wants a new vehicle/kit/weapon

I don't think it sets you as a T, it merely tries to get you started in a district right away. Don't recall ever seeing T after I've gained threat with my main character.

Cross district matchmaking! (I suggest as if it's an easy thing)

I'm fine with it, I don't ALWAYS use it, about 75-80% of the time, but you cannot put a price on the fun I have when I blow someone sky high with it. The only time I actually feel strapped for cash is when I'm buying mods and I'm too lazy to swap them off the current gun/vehicle or buying legendaries (and my gf and I bought almost all the ones we want, next on the list is the Ogre though).

Sitting on a 30 day premium gift but can't use it til I'm unbanned (and decide that I'm gonna play apb 30 days straight, don't wanna waste any) >.> Pioneer w/ nitro and blowtorch vs Pioneer w/ brick and remote detonator? Hmm, one is faster, promotes longevity of the vehicle and is probably smarter if you care about getting to objectives faster, the other is funny as hell when you drive it into a group of enemies and blow it up. That's my form of harassment. Almost always works on each enemy the first time, then they get smart -_-
