Wolvden's Impending Inflation Crisis

Wolvden's Impending Inflation Crisis
Posted 2022-10-19 21:02:22
New player here, sorry if I get any info wrong. Also never played Lioden so I don't know what's going on over there.

All that SC people are getting from quests/raccoon/exploring is coming out of thin air. Yea people are buying GC from the Grove, but not nearly as quickly.
Was reading some old comments, and near Wolvden's beginning, 1 GC went for about 100 SC. If you peruse the market now, it's about 370 SC to 1 GC. Because of all this SC coming out of thin air from quests, the value of SC is going downhill.

What does this mean, then?
SC earned from the game will mean less. It will not be able to buy as much in the trading center, it will take longer to amass enough SC to buy things from the Trading Center. GC will be harder to obtain. I earn all my GC from the Trading Center, and I think a lot of other players do to, and as the prices go up for them, they will be harder to get. And just everything in the TC will get expensive.

How to combat this?
Well, the devs could increase how much SC you earn from quests/exploring/raccoon, but that would only work temporally and then the inflation would just catch up and start happening faster. I personally don't really know how to fix this. And why should I know how to fix this? I'm a random person and real life governments are suffering this problem and none of them know how to fix it either lol

back when WD first opened, players could only take a single quest a day, rewarding 100 SC, so that's where prices stayed for a bit. after the questing update allowing 3 quests a day, rewarding 300-350 SC if all three were completed in the day, the GC prices reflected that with the prices rising to 350:1.
regardless of actual amount of SC earned/added to the game, it still has the same base line of 1 days worth of questing earning you a single GC.
Granted there is inflation going on (as with any real or fictional economy), as I've seen prices have temporarily fluctuated to 500:1, but seeing as they always drop back down to 350:1 eventually, its much slower than it appears to be.

we can obviously most likely expect a big change in the market coming up on Black Friday with GC sales, but these changes will mostly be temporary and drop back down in the later months.
