Halving everyone's TC amount
The ultimate TC sink. It'd take 50% of all TC, making it more valuable. It'd hurt the rich more than the poor. It'd also help booster sales.

What do you think?
No. What a stupid idea, would you like to have your hard earned toricredits taken away from you? I think not.

For people like me, that'd result in the loss of 50$ of money, not a good idea and many players will quit because of it.
People pay a lot of money for TC. And by doing this, you're essentially taking away what they spent their hard earned $$$ on. I'm anti this in every single way. This isn't a sink. This is just cruelty.

I'd argue that they don't

Total TC sold a month looks to be below $500

That's not a lot for an average of 400 people / playing / simultaneously / forever

A google employee makes

it says, 127k a year, non-senior software engineer
therefore, that's at least 21 times more he makes a month than all the Toribash players spend on player 2 player bought / sold TC

Do you happen to have a reliable source for that? I doubt admins or even nabi would provide this kind of information that easly, it would be really dumb, even if they lie about the amount, since you didn't provided any source for that information i'm presuming you're taking that from your 'toribash expertise' that could be countered as well.

Again, reliable source please? Toribash's current engine/administration/merchandising/etc does not provide enough room for a 'Eve Online' activity, but 400 people is far from reality as well, measuring the Toribash playerbase by simultaneous logins/games is not the right approach, measuring by day/week/month (yes, both) is a good approach to build a good income report (not talking about TC, yet)

What does that have to do with the subject? I really didn't get this part.


On the topic: It sounded really silly even before reading Cobra's post, after that I just think that you're selfish enough to burn people's money right after you got yours well locked in your closet.

I can't find enough words to describe it so I'll stick to the basic: Not supported.

It has nothing to do with admins. I'm talking about player to player TC sales

http://forum.toribash.com/forumdisplay.php?f=64

^ here's the only source. Very most TC sales come from people who also sell TC on market

see their balance decrease, that's the TC sold

People sell TC in market, because they have to. Otherwise they don't get enough exposure to sell their "millions".

No, it's from items forum If you want more precise data, spot the sell threads and then go over those persons transactions. Large amount of TC sent away to other person w/o items got for it indicates a TC-sell.

Then bulk it up a bit, if you believe people who don't post TC sell threads on market sell TC as well, which is a minority of people (if any, last month).

Top right corner. Also, somebody made a graph of toribash ingame activity. Now it's more like 280? I won't search that thread for you, tho, too much work.

Well,

I don't get your critique. Why do you think an estimated based on actual items forum and actual player count number by someone who actually sells TC (at cheap rate, btw, so much buy offers go to me) is worse than NOT estimating numbers to work with?

You talk about income report. See, if you didn't realize. There's no income report to be built, Toribash money circulation is too little for me to care about it. Like I say, it's less than some Joe makes. Not only if Joe's a Google employee, but even if he's your regular junior programmer.
Just because you sold your million you want it to be halved?
Why didnt you suggest it before your TC were sold?

No one would support this, people would quit, people would be butthurt, probably there would be alot of bullshit going.

Not supported.
This is honestly a very very bad idea if you take into consideration that people spend real money into this game. People would probably sue Toribash and shit like that.

Not
supportive.
