The criticism is a bit funny honestly as how is this any different from an ordinary bidding thread of a rare/comp item?

i agree honestly, especially since this is for the sake of balancing the economy more by taking credits out of the system while also simultaneously putting previously locked off rares back in the system. it's a good thing.
people with more money will have an advantage because that's how bidding works, but the alternative to not doing this is that the rares stay locked away and the rich stay rich with nothing to spend on

like i understand the frustration in possibly missing out on items you really want, but if they're highly wanted items, they will sell to the highest bidder no matter what. if they're raffled out, the same thing will likely happen, but none of the huge overload of cr will be taken out of the system.

What will happen to all cr that will be collected from the auktion?

I plan to propose to Etjen a way to make some use of a bit of the credits we get, but that money will be gone and reset

So all cr will be out from vp? So we need to use real money on vp if we want to play it. I would love to use real money on vp, but 96e for 5k cr is little low I think. 96e is alot. I did buy MCM this month. Did buy 96e bc I think it would help more, but idk.

u dont have to use real money to play vp... Plenty of people have been able to have good wardrobes over the years without spending much or anything at all. The prices of items on vp have gotten way past 5k because of what people have been choosing to bid😅Like if bids for rares never went past 1-2k credits then 5k credits would still seem like a LOT of credit. Basically...

Vp doesn't determine the price of items on VP, its the player base that ultimately does ( like the fact that you're willing to buy 100k credits and bid thousands on certain items that you want )

You will have to ask the DE admin as I am not sure.

and a big part of this crazy overpricing of items in recent years is due to the credits imbalance causing inflation! that's what this entire auction thing is trying to fix!

yepp
my own personal worry with this is that the prices for some items after might be heavily inflated and therefore continue the whole cycle (people wont want to take such big losses compared to what they paid for) but thats honestly out of VP's control at this point LOL If anything im glad theyre not trying to change the prices for credits or anything to keep up with the inflation. I miss the good old days where items (even rares!) would cycle between people faster cuz inflation wasnt so bad and the large playerbase was more active u-u

No, as there aren't many banned users from what I was told by the NL and DE admins

after we'll kickstart the auction on EN I can try and talk to the DE admin and see if it's something that'd be possible, even short term, considering we plan on doing so at first with banned users, and then move onto inactive users, so maybe there's hope!
