How much would you pay for a cruise hairstyle?</p>
<p>I actually built the system in the other day to be able to be able to buy styles directly in the wardrobe, but haven&;t priced any of them yet..

How much is a hair coupon, Keith? 250 CSC, right?

I'd say 10M for a cruise hairstyle would be fair, considering this is the ballpark for the cash shop coupons

well if you feel like 10mil is too much of a difference then go for a bit lower? 7.5mil or so?

Anything available by cash/tokens/special tokens could have an incredibly inflated sP price. While people have the option to spend cash, there are many that can't.. so giving the option to obtain the unattainable gives something to strive for even if it's almost prohibitively priced.

The more avenues that get the Subeta economy going the better it is for shop owners.. and the cycle is continues.

With me it would have to be not having to wait 5minutes between subq purchases. If I could buy all the SUBQ on my wishlist in one go when its in stock in SUBQ I would.

A timer was introduced against people being able to do that because restockers were just buying entire stocks of new/expensive items and keeping the price inflated for longer.

i would also spend a lot for a specific zombie skin from 1st year. the one full of hearts is the one i really regret not having. maybe we could unlock one for 5 mil, with the condition to choose one per month?

~ Heh, setting a flat rate for CSC/SP conversion would definitely create an enormous sink in a heartbeat. For instance, users could sell their CSC to the Subetian 'bank' for an instant payout of X, and buyers similarly buy it for Y. It cuts out the direct and often purposeful inflation and exploitation of the greedy and sets a standard for price which can be directly controlled by the decisions of those behind the scenes and could theoretically be changed based on the statistics of the economy. I do think that if this were ever implemented it'd need to be done with some caution and experimenting first, and of course... with the expectation that there may be some outrage and backlash, as we can see with just about any announcement on something different.

More ideas sorry for post spamming hur hur:

  • random event buff
  • increased chances of winning a minion from the Galaxan Wastelands buff
  • get lucky buff (increased chances at crypts, tempest, good events, etc.? 8D)
  • buy scratchcards in bulk for a premium

obviously buffs would be for limited time c:

Now I'm glad I bought all the Cruise styles when they came out. Most of them I don't even use but I'm super fond of the Delphi styles. I'd like to see some for Omen Islands/Port Plunder though.

I'm throwing my vote in for minion slots. You can always throw extra minions in the TC but you can't name them.

I also like the idea of buying skins, hair, and nice eyes (that can be customizable) for sP.

I'm not as likely to buy items that don't have some sort of use unless the art is really really nice but it also depends on the price. Sometimes I'll buy things in the main shops just because I like the way they looks.

What about high price SBQ-esque shops for things that aren't clothing? Like premium plushies or gourmet food or purebred minions. Or even a rival clothing shop to go up against Esmerelda? Businesses tend to have competition and I don't think Mauve is giving her much competition. It could even cater to male HAs.

It just wouldn't work - we need people to buy CSC to keep the site afloat, no one would transfer CSC->sP, it just wouldn't really happen.

Gonna second the cruise hairstyles and say more exclusive non-Fringe hairstyles sold directly by Nathaniel c: I don't feel it would be necessarily bad for csc business since well, look at the CW market, we're still running mostly on female wavy wigs with bangs. XD

I don't think 10 million is bad at all, especially if you think of these as event items. How many things we got essentially for free during events that, a couple years later, were costing a fortune? What matters is having it attainable, prices can float within a fair range ^^

~ Nobody? I do it all the time.

Edit: Okay, scenario. I buy CSC (you're getting a purchase here, I don't see how you think that means people wouldn't anymore) and I want it to sell for SP. Quite honestly, when I do resort to buying my way out it's because I'm impatient and being greedy and I want it NAOWWWWW. It's essentially the same as a quick sale.

...and there are so many great ideas out already that I'll just sit and read them more carefully xD

Honestly though, I'd say I'd pay a ton of sp for more facial features. Or for being able to submit my own, but under a business "CW reviewing process" perspective that's not going to happen :P So I'll just say the Subq makeup idea was a great one! INCLUDE NOSES THERE TOO PLS

I'd love a lucky buff to increase my chances on things a little bit (hi Crypts) and I'd gladly buy nice skins, too. Especially since I think the tattoo feature never came back? I'd say bring the tattoos back too, but I know I'd love the convenience of changing between bases with cool marks/tatts and a regular one within a click c:

I think 10 million is a fine price. Sure people got them originally for 10k, and sure I wouldn't personally pay that for a hair style, BUT people get experiments all the time for 15 wizard tokens (about 10k on a good day) and I would so quickly sell csc for sP and pay 10 million easily to be able to change a specific pet into a specific experiment.

Hell, I'd pay more. I wasted 35+ experimental dews TWICE trying to get a pet to be a specific experiment before giving up and deciding he'd just be whatever until next Black Friday when MPIIs were reasonably priced because I'm not all about wasting my time with the zapper and having to paranoidly check my inventory every single time just to make sure something important/costly isn't about to get destroyed-- only to not get what I want and rinse repeat 400 times until I just don't even want the stupid experiment anymore.

Still talking about the salon, some facial/body hair recolorable via Salon could become a nice sink. Probably not a MAJOR one RIGHT FROM START, you see, but it would be incredibly useful for male HAs! And it'd be something people would definitely use.

Also I gotta disagree with everyone saying being able to buy old currencies. Sorry, but those people who earned them would be quite upset if you could just buy them now. I know I would be.

As somebody who earned what are now old currencies, I wouldn't be at all upset if people could buy them with sP.

  1. Skins - current ones plus a small selection of others which aren't Morostide or Zombie

  2. Change the exhibits in the Delphi Museum Of Modern Art or add another gallery for new exhibits.

  3. Using the autopricer for sP with an ordinary account. Something reasonable like 1 million, though, because nobody would use this feature if they weren't going to make a profit.
