How would implementing a trading system worsen the economy when the items are already droppable?

It wouldn't. It's not staffs fault. Staff want it. Stephan forbids it. Blame/rage at him

How would implementing a trading system worsen the economy when the items are already droppable?

If you're referring to PC, it isn't the trading that ruins the game's economy. It's the fact that they can be traded at all (drops/system). In short, trading guns kills the economy because players won't buy from stores anymore, because they can capitalize between each other for cheaper prices. If a guy wants a BAR, eventually with time, he's not going to go to the store to purchase a BAR. Instead, he'll look for a player that doesn't want the BAR who will sell it for a lower price. This causes guns to lose value quickly. The cycle will repeat, and sooner or later, inflation occurs since peoples' guns aren't sitting idle in their inventory, but now rather a happier owner who will put use to it.

Also, becauae you can trade unwanted guns for other guns, you won't have to shell/buy packs to get that new gun. When this happens, players won't buy any more packs which leads to a loss in revenue for developers. That is a fatal mistake for any game, seeing as Era PC has had multiple server resets in the past.

If you were talking about iEra, the same reasons as above. Though, I don't see a problem in a trade system for items that are already droppable. Just no items that aren't droppable (i.e. guns).

Try asking stefan that. It's his server.

it wont, but stefan wont let them make it.  

We should send an email to stefan demanding a trading system all at the same time :]  

I think asking for the millionth time is a waste of time. There's no real way to keep the game profitable, even if you make it an equal trading style system(ex: 2 peacemakers=1 bar). I'm leaning away from the idea of a trading system now.

Might as well give unlimited refunds on all items purchased at any spontaneous time.

Oh so it sucks? I guess making a thread will change it all in your mind.

for once i agree with you

and for the people who want balanced guns i fail to see how that will improve this. I think it may make it quite boring cuz everone will use the cheapest guns therefore it means you cant have different guns for different tasks. but thats just my opinion  

Untill you've experienced several Era PC resets, most of you will never understand the flaws of the economic system.
Most of the servers really are not capable of handling an economy well, I completely disagree with the amount of droppables there are on IEra, including shells.
It was a terrible mistake in my eyes to have money items droppable.

Gun's seem pretty balanced these days x.x
Cloyd did release too many guns too fast, needed a much slower progression to me.

Era's main problem is lack of a game-plan so to speak, most of the work is spontainious and unplanned lol  

Making trash/mushrooms/shells droppable worsens the economy and encourages scamming.
