My friend, spending a few hundred USD a day (not recycling, actual spending, total lost) is consider average player here, ubers are spending (not recycling) way more than that amount per day. why do u think ubers can hit 200k peds HOF? U can only obtain that kind of HOF/ATH when u deposit astronomical amount of USD, not just spending few hundreds USD per day, please wake up. I am done explaining here, cheers and stay safe.
P.S. Affluent = SUPER RICH (not just rich)
Spending 60k peds to buy a Quad Equus is not an affluent player.
Spending 100k peds to buy a Restoration Chip Modified is not an affluent player.
Spending 30k peds to buy a shop is not an affluent player.
Spending 80k peds to buy a pathfinder is not an affluent player.
Holding 500k units of caly shares is not an affluent player.
Affluent players are those that do not need to worry about squeezing that trigger on a uber gun continously for 12 hrs a day (spending) , am talking the fcking uber rich, not the average people. That should explain clearly to you, thank you.
Oh I see the confusion. I was thinking affluent and you were thinking a whole sugar daddy for MA. My mistake and yes if you can find a few people willing to put more $ in than MA is worth, it would probably have a positive effect on the economy for a while.
Once you said that, I understand what you refer to. Dont you realise that a subscription mean that non subscriber get less for the same money ?
Thats all I been saying. As soon as you do that, you create exactly what you mention that you do not like.
Because we talk about a freemium model and the impact on economy. Path of exile having a very interesting trade system and economic design without gold and only materials that can vary in MU based on a quantity/demand ratio make it a perfect exemple on how they make sure people who keep buying stash get them filled so that the free players get a lesser experience.
