Make Market Great Again

[Envymeister]

As the title suggests Market is dead, so here i am trying to propose some suggestions to revive it, or at least making it viable again, since at Trade Chat ING you either sell an EPIC pokemon, or you just wont sell anything. CC are dropping as hell, and the CC price are what determines the Server Economy, if ppl have tons of cash CC demand will rise up... But right now most of the players cash is spread like this: 50% less than 1m, 30% 1m-5m, 10% 5m-15m, 7% 15m-30m, 3% 30m+. Not confirmmed numbers, but similiar :D

But first i would like to explain some of the reasons why market is falling to pieces, at least express my opinion, for some it might be truth for others not really.

• It all started with Niko Shiny Spawn pokemons, where he gathered XXX pokedollars, its true he made it to remove Botters cash, but right there, that single move decreased CC prices, and the economy aswell. Its true that Botters cash isnt legal, but the economy got hurt, and the players aswell.
  
• Other point that is important, although this one is and isnt the players fault. Im not here to critize people, im here to try to solve a problem, but players with 50m+ or even 30m+ that have their cash stalled in their accounts hurts the economy aswell, they have the rights to keep the cash if they want to ofc, none has the rights to demand those ppl to use the cash, but this is something that hurts the economy so i had to point out.
  
• Then related to the previous cause, we have shiny collectores and their ''monopoly''. We all know that the part of the game that flows more cash are the shinies trades. So its only natural that the players that collects shinies and do trades with them, are the ones with most cash (30/50m+). Again im not here to blame/critize just to point out the things that hurts the economy as a whole.
  
• Last, but not least, The Money Sink. What is this last topic? All the cash that we spend in game that goes to NPC's, All the Travel & Tickets, all the pokeballs, all the medicine, and especially now with the Rerolls, u use PvP Coins to have them, but those that sell those Rerolls to other players, all that cash is sinked for the NPC's.
  

Well those are the things that inflated the market, in my opinion. But whats is next? Even if we know what is hurting the economy, how will we solve it?

For that i have some suggestions, and i hope that you, the whole community that in case you actually read all this share some opinions and suggestions.

• About the last topic, what i have in mind is, if possible, all the cash that the players waste for NPC's would actually go to a staff bank account, and each month we would have a Lotto, lets say, in one month all players from the Server used up 50M. At the end of that month it would be randomdly selected 50 ppl, that actually used cash to buy either pokeballs, or any other supplement for the lotto, and ea of those 50 ppl would win 1M ea. This way the cash wasted would still flow in that Server economy.
  
• Other suggestion is a new way to win cash. The only way to farm cash, without catch a poke and sell, is either Bosses or Cerulean Cave Wild Battles. About Bosses we have tons of them, but a big part either gives less than 10k or about guardians (the boss that gives u the most cash) that most of the times 9/10 dont give a single pokedollar. So what i would suggest is Revamp Guardians, so they would drop always a fix amount lets say 50k ea guardian, intead 50k-80k. but everytime we beat them we have 50k for sure. And add other way other than Farm with wild enconters, because this is the Botters way to get cash. If u want less Botters in game, remove cash from wild battles, and add a new way to get pokedollars.
  
• About the Stalled Cash, i would say spawn some shinies, just like what Niko did, sell them, and with the cash gathered, released for the whole community, either with events, Lotto, or any other way that you guys think of.
  

Again, this topic was made with the solo purpose to point out some of the causes that our economy is hurted badly, not to critize, but to try to improve. Im looking forward for your collaboration and your imagination/suggestions.

I really dont think money sinks are hurting the economy. In games you can just keep generating money out of no where, without money sinks then the amount of money floating around just keeps rising and rising and rising(not that it isnt already). I started playing while the economy was in a period I've heard some people considered "great" due to all the botted money. It sucked being a new player during that time period where even a meh dragonite was running 1 mil and most mons were easily over 500k. Its a lot harder on new people if the amount of money in the economy isnt kept in check. Better money sinks that the really rich are willing to use might be a good idea. It seemed like thats what Pinkan Island was originally intended for but pink mons just weren't a good enough reward for the investment in most people's eyes.
