Cornerbug Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Can we please have an option to purchase credits in the Cartel Market? There are countless costume items, mounts, etc. that are no longer available in the Cartel Market but are available for outrageous prices in the GTN. This would especially be beneficial for returning subscribers, such as myself, as well as newcomers who are interested in the older costumes as well as other items.

rynlath Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I like your idea and it is good for the casual gamer BUT, it would only raise prices up way higher and those in game who do not purchase the coins would suffer. Not only that but good chance it might become pay to win because only those who use real money to purchase credits can afford mods and other stuff.

It's called paying money for Packs and selling them in game. Or any CM item and selling it over the GTN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHboy Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 They already have it in game. It's called paying money for Packs and selling them in game. Or any CM item and selling it over the GTN thats the significant difference. One leads to rampant inflation and gives gold spammers a faster in. the latter, keeps the total number of credits in game constant and just moves from one to the other. OP. this is a horrible idea.

You make an excellent point, BUT, there has to be a better system to get credits in order to afford the items you want. I play this game almost every day, about 6 hours a day and I constantly have my team slicing throughout my playing and it will still take me probably a week or two just to get the belt I want. The same amount of time again for gloves and then for boots. Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really been doing any daily missions. I've only been sending the companions on slicing missions and slicing myself wherever the opportunity arises. Since I'm complaining then maybe I should start making those dailies a priority! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I'm complaining then maybe I should start making those dailies a priority! if have slicing do a couple of things. farm slicing nodes on yavin send out companions for rich/bountiful missions (with slicing bonus if have one) when they crit you can sell the mats (for augments) pretty well, additionally any crafting missions that return you can sell quite easily too. Slicing can pull in 6 figures treasure hunting and underworld trading are also worth upper 5 figures (30-60k). If you have additional crew missions (underworld trading/treasure hunting) that return companion gifts, the artifact level ones sell 10-20k depending on type.

JattaGin Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 farm slicing nodes on yavin This is work. Virtual work for virtual money. It's a horrible advice. My advice is: Just keep on playing and don't worry so much about all that fluff stuff. Trust me, the game makes much more fun if you just focus on PLAYING. Farming whatever things is not playing. It's working. Not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's working. Not fun. there are yavin dailies for rep. they area is not overly large and can see lots of nodes pretty close to each other in the temple area. just simply running the weekly and looting as you go should gain plenty of money. Its only work if you don't enjoy it while playing. If you want something bad enough outfits, unlocks, gear etc.) then probably worth the effort to try and earn it. If not, then apparently didn't want it bad enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that to support this idea EA should do what Wildstar and WoW have done. Buy game tokens with real money and sell on GTN. Players can buy the tokens with credits and then use token for 1 month subscription (under one price clause so no inflation). That way people who grind credits can play for free and people who want credits can buy with real money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way no more money would flow into the economy, only the already available amount of money is changing from one player to another. The high number of goldseller spam show that there is a huge demand for trading real money for virtual credits, because they wouldn't advertise when there are no customers. This way EA can participate from this shadow market and dry out the gold sellers. Win-Win, except for the gold sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekwalizer Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) They already have it in game. It's called paying money for Packs and selling them in game. Or any CM item and selling it over the GTN The difference is, if BW sold credits directly they could price credit sellers out of the market. We already have an accepted culture of trading IRL currency for IG credits in the method you describe. There is no difference between buying CM items and selling them on the GTN vs. Bioware directly selling credits; it just eliminates the GTN middleman.

An unlimited amount of "money" can be generated simply from playing the game. Credits will always be injected into the economy. This is why inflation occurs in all video games, money is constantly being added to the available total, thereby devaluing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightblazer Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Yeah this is a bad idea. As a person constantly selling mats I've farmed or companion gifts, I make quite a bit of credits off the GTN. If I knew it was easier for people to earn more credits just by buying them out right I would raise my GTN prices easily to double or triple if not more and I know others. Things that sell now for 10 mil I bet people would just post for 100 mil or more. So it really wouldn't help. And like others have said it be ones like a pay to win system which BW won't want. Sorry but if you want lots or credits, follow the suggestions that have been posted. It's going to be the best way.
