So I was really thinking about this for a couple of reasons. Every time I am in a pinch to buy csc I realize that A. I would have to buy through the shops which most don't even sell csc gift cards higher than 500 or B. I have to buy with money because finding a seller takes some time.

So my solution is to have an option in the cash shop to convert sp to csc. Now there should be some discrepancies to this so people can still make sp off of csc cards.

For example,

*The conversion rate should be slightly higher than the rate that people sell at. I see people selling at 1:100, so conversion rate could be at 1:200/300. The purpose of this is to prevent converting sp to becoming the ONLY way people buy csc. I still think people should buy from sellers so this method would be for people who need csc quickly for a purchase or pet slot etc.

*There should be a maximum amount of csc allowed to be acquired through converting. Example: each user is allowed to acquire 4k csc per month through converting means.

*can NOT convert the other way. CSC can not be converted to sp it would only convert sp to csc.

The whole reason I thought of this was because I was in a pinch to get a pet slot for a pet I really wanted and had no quick way of getting 2k. Of course, this idea is new in my head and I am sure I have not thought of every positive or negative with this so feel free to give some feedback. And I do apologize if this was recommended before!

And for anyone saying "this would lose the site money" I really don't think it would seeing as people A. there would me a maximum amount people could convert (could be smaller than 4k) and B. I would still spend money because I love subeta and of course want to support them anyway I can which I'm sure goes for a lot of users as well.

As much as I would like more ways to get csc, no onsite conversion would work for the sole reason that the userbase decides what csc is worth. Users would either stop selling csc entirely, or they would only want to sell at the new, even more inflated rate of any csc converter.

Limiting how much csc someone can convert would make the site very much have a pay-to-play feel to it as well. As a matter of fact, any users selling csc are probably going to charge higher than the conversion rate for when people hit this proposed monthly cap. If users refuse to buy inflated csc from other users, the users who buy csc to sell aren't going to buy it anymore.

Overall, no support.

nope. it's super easy to buy csc cards, and anything that implements any sort of "official" conversion rate is just going to throw off the market. as mentioned, sellers would scramble to either match or exceed the official conversion rate.

i'm not really sure what you mean by not having a quick way to get csc. there are currently seventeen 500 credit gift cards in shops, six of which are at the lowest current price. buy four of them, you've got 2000 csc right then and there. there are also 100 and 250 credit gift cards. everything higher than 500 is too expensive to sell in shops (the max you can price items at in shops is 100mil; 1000 credit gift cards are worth a bit more than that), but there's no reason you can't buy multiple lower denominations if you don't have time to wait on a trade.

besides, i would much rather pay such large amounts of sp to another user who will use it to buy things they want, than dump it into a sinkhole and delete it from the system.

We have that.

It's called buying CSC from user shops for normally double what the actual amount is worth.

Sorry I can't support this either. Mostly for the reasons other state. Creating a limit won't solve the problem either.

The only reason we can buy CSC for sP in the first place is that someone has to spend actual money on it. From an economic stand point it just makes no sense at all for the site to offer it for sP.
