I think we should do auctions with items from banned people and inactive people's wardrobe instead to eat the credits honestly.

Banned users' items at once, and inactive people maybe getting an email with a three month warning or something beforehand, where the user will be deleted if they haven't logged in by a deadline. Then some of their stuff could be auctioned off, while the rest could be used for competitions and similar for a period of time.

This way I also feel like the designers might not be stretched as thin, which would make it easier to "save up" some sets for a backlog and maybe get some more shopdrops that way without sacrificing in other places.

that was brought up multiple times actually and how to do that but somehow it just hasnt happened yet

I know ! But someone higher up should solve this shit instead of leaving it to the designers who're already working way too hard to keep this place alive.

I think if they actually sold things that people would value then yes but when they have done the credit events in the past where they released something each hour it was piss poor outdated designs that realistically not a lot of people probably purchased

those "piss poor" designs were old sets that people asked for, they werent expensive and those events purpose wasnt to bring credits out of circulation, it was to give people the ability to acquire old designs

Bad bc all cr is with ppl that not online anymore or not activ alot.

Ppl say I’m rich. I’m not.

those who dont come online arent the problem, credits just sit there so it doesnt matter how much they have if they dont use it

but there are people with substantial amount of credits on vp and our economy is fucked up rn

I hate that honestly. None of you can take banned users' stuff and distribute

I think we should rather have a shop drop every two weeks and split the wof and hof sets so we have one set more available. We can make those shop items time limited or LE or something.

Think biggest problem is that theres no new sets and old items are stuck in wds of hoarders who are active and inactive
so stuff doesn't move at all

I kind of hate the inaccessibility for some of GSM's items but, it would be beneficial if there was a time limited collection for VP that isn't the auction like weekends only or one/half a day only...I wouldn't encourage these items being over 100/200 cr each but, with prices like that it may encourage people to buy more credits

...could be good! just depends

yes i suppose i should have specifified what expensive is but what i was thinking was between the like 200 credits mark for a set or smth like that! not like 1k or anything outrageous id die....

but yes limited collection/set/item being up for longer than auction would be good i think, action is very reliant on being at the computer all day waiting for a good time to buy

im all for it long term, but i think restocking the shop has to come first
actually i think thats more important than pretty much anything else sets are being used for atm but thats a different topic

no but i agree with the last part a lot, ive been thinking for a while that we should make a joint DT effort to gather some sets that are reserved for shop so we can release like one set in shop every other week or something... and if we ever manage that then maybe every third or something release could be something more exclusive idkidk... but i do very much think we should be focusing more on shop that like wof

im not really talking about the total amount of credits in accounts atm, more that we only really promote buying credits for sets but have nothing to really use them on that isnt reliant on user selling and trading

it was a fun event but i dont think doable right now sadly

To answer your actual question though:
Some expensive sets sometimes isn't a bad idea. I think it's too much on gSm with a lot of FOMO on top of it too, which I find frustrating as a user. If it's with the same span as auctions are now, I feel like it could be healthy.

The 1 hour shop events could also be used for this purpose.

this is fair yes, i suppose if i was more active on gsm i would be more frustrated about it since its so often, but having it in moderation could maybe even be fun
