Help newbros by buying theyre stuff from Global Market (Auctionhouse)

[Vireys]

I have an idea!

I noticed alot of new bro's who just started was feelig bummed out that he had followed some "easy to make creds as new player" -guide and he farmed rare stuff for weeks and took the effort , only to be hugely disapointed that no one would buy these items from Global Market. Or atleast they sell really slowly.

Maybe if us who have tens of billions in credits , maybe we could start buying lowlevel nanos/clanilizers/buff guns/pillows/ and all lowbie stuff from GM and from trade (even if we dont need it). Its like charity for those folks who actually try to take the effort of blizing/farming items to sell so they can get a foot hold in the game.

Im not talking throw all creds to random GM orders but for me i can easily set aside lets say a sum of 15 000 000 Creds every now and then, and buy all kinds of "cool" random stuff from GM and just delete them if one has no need for them. This kind of cred is nothing for well established players but is a HUGE booster and a fortune for a starting out newbs.

This would rewards the players taking the effort instead just encouraging peoples to beg or ask for money, and we all know how much easyer life gets if you happen to have a mil or two at the beginning of the game so you get nanos/implants untill youre hooked on the cocaine of AO ;).

So like a druggie lets keep em in untill they get addicted xD.

If this seems stupid to you another idea would be to speed youre own alts leveling by buying stuff from newbs like subway loot, nanos or the like from instead of soloing everything alone for youreself with youre pimped up alt. If we vets solo everything and bliz all nanos etc its taking a huge chunk out of Global Market.

I have seen a few [newbie ICC] requests for broken OFAB weapons from the subway - I clicked on it and read that someone was actively buying the drops from the subway for 200k each and then deleting them.

Such a cool move.

You should consider doing this for people who aren't subscribing and playing froob accounts.

(full disclosure, I have previously played the game and maintained an active subscribed account for 8+ years in the past)

after rolling a froob and playing it to level 100, I'm starving for credits - funcom does not allow froobs to use the market system, and apparently there was market manipulation in the past that has severely escalated the prices of most items.

the market must be broken because I see constant spam in icc pricing credits at like 1 billion for four dollars.

currently mission rewards at level 100 give max 10k credits - so something is broken.


regardless kudos for helping the newbies.

Make the market open to froobs and we'd make some cred

I concurr, if its ment to be truly fair FTP froobies should have at least limited access to take part of the economy in a meaningfull way.

The trade chat is NOT active anymore, i have seen its dead for hours at a time, while in GM the items sell for them selves.
