So I've been seeing all these topics about sP sinks, csc being too pricey, all that kind of stuff. Some items inflate too much, there's nothing worth buying so sP is just useless. I just realized maybe there can be a way to remedy this?

SubetaTeam usually buys items from user shops once in a blue moon if items become worthless or not at their proper value, like old collection items, elixirs, r.99, ect. Well what if that account had a permanent shop set up on site that they could help stem the flow of items/fix prices AND offer a good sP sink? They could sell CSC for a fixed price if CSC becomes way too expensive, then just take it out and bring it back at a certain price when it gets too high.

Same goes for any and all items that are way too over inflated. They don't have to stay in the shop for too long and to avoid people buying it up cheap to resell down the road, you set a time limit and DON'T say when the csc/items/ect. are being taken from the shop, maybe say when they go in but maybe keep it a surprise?

I know it seems silly but it would be a good sP sink, you still have options for buying csc via real money and all that. But this could just be either permanent or a temporary idea until you can balance things out for the time being.

Now this is just an idea but if anyone can help build off this, please do share. Thank you.

I definitely don't think CSC should be included, since staff doesn't control the price of CSC in user shops. Aside from that, I'm not sure we need another method for getting inflated items out but I also don't really see a problem with it so I don't really care either way.

This would just put a lot of sP into a "user" account though.

It's not a bad idea but it's a very cursory fix. No support.

Well it is a sP sink because there's nothing stopping staff from simply deleting the sP afterwards-- even if it's not deleted, it's not changing hands anymore so it's essentially removed from the system.

I do agree that csc shouldn't be brought into this, because there's no time limit. One user could literally just sit there and buy every card that's put in, same going for the MC center now so yeah.. no CSC/gold accounts/etc.

I wouldn't mind this, that said, for new items that people want. Like the Nostalgic Instructions, or when new potions are introduced-- better to get 5 million out of the economy than 700 wizard tokens y'know. But, I dunno I guess that could still easily fall under the category of what's stopping one person from buying everything in there.

Mixed feelings about this, but interesting idea all the same.

^in regards to the selling csc for sp, i think she meant that the staff put a high ceiling on csc. AKA like 10mil for 100 csc cards.

personally, i dont expect the staff to meddle with csc prices.

It was mostly just suggested to help keep inflated items well not so inflated, bring them back to down a decent price and when they stabilize remove them from the shop, only putting them back if the prices get out of hand. Just offering a bit of a solution but now I realize it might be more of a problem than anything.

I really doubt staff would do something that would deliberately lower the profitability of purchasing and selling CSC.

As for other items, I could see a cool sP version of the CS Hustler that could sell old inflated items, maybe not CS items, but old Free Gifts, Crystal Shops, or even newer items that are just at a high price. I know the items have the potential to make it to the Crystal Shop, but I still think that this might be a fun alternative

I second 's idea of an sP version of the Hustler. Although I'm not sure how it would be implemented since we already have an sP version of him. lol Maybe have a pool like we do for the CS items, but instead of rotating it it could be a chance like thing? idk, but since it's been said that the Crystal Shop is going to move in a direction to just release old rl holiday items, I think a straight up sP sink would be great as I think all we have right now are sP sinks for items specifically released into the shop, like the Millionaire Centre.

But seriously, I can't believe people still aren't getting over CSC prices. At one point it was 1 mil. per 100 CSC. People lost their shit when 500 CSC became 9 mil and then eventually 12 mil and 16 mil and CSC prices rise, that's just the way it works in an economy with multiple currencies. Things should be done like lowering the amount of CS items released, but releasing CSC into the system to combat inflation is never the right idea.

So yeah, I'm pretty for this idea, but I don't like the idea of taking the items out without any warning, unless it's established that the items come back or there is a limit on the amount of items in stock so they don't get too inflated (so just hide the stock amount,) and I don't like the idea of it being in a user shop.

They could never sell CSC for sp officially. CSC in user shops was paid for in real money by someone somewhere down the line. If they just sold CSC straight for sp, they're losing out on getting any real money for it.

CSC is not inflated. The rate people pay CSC for is the real rate. People are willing to pay 25M. It's the rate in 2015.

I love you.

I think it can be good with inflate items from not active users shops.

I don't care to pay 50m for an item, but it will bother me to know that the sp will be stuck in this account for ages without any use..

So if SubetaTeam can buy those item, and price them at the same/little bit less price, it can be good for everybody.
