Users can set prices and are marginally taxed on their profits. However, this system is severely lacking in comparison to a full-fledged competitive pet site market. Here are my suggestions regards to potential improvements. Please suggest your own or feel free to expand on my points below. 1. Item for Item and/or Currency Trades Item Trades allow for exchange without currency and an easier route to completion of recipes and their PixDex. The addition of currency allows individuals to raise the value of their items to meet what they are offering on and allows the trade-hoster to choose the desired trade transaction, rather than by any chance variable. There would be no tax on these trades. 2. Flat Sales Alternately to auctions, flat sales should be introduced. While competitive in a different way than auctions, flat sales allow for the establishment of firm price points for items, rather than luck and need for money. In this way, more reliable profit can be earned by focusing on needs and pricing competitively to other salespeople. There could be a small tax on these transactions, similar to auctions now. 3. Snipe Guard on Auctions This would be the addition of one minute to any auction’s timer which was bid on under the two minute mark. This way, auctions are made so that the winners have surpassed all their competitor’s maximum willingness to pay, rather than winning by being the fastest sniper. 4. Rules Against Monopolizing Markets These rules would essentially work against users who buy up all of the units of a given item on the market to sell them back to the userbase at a marked profit. 5. Sell Back to Site Essentially would work to replace deletion to introduce more currency to the site from hoards. 6. User-to-User Currency Exchange This would allow for things such as art commissions to be introduced to the forums and would allow for additional cash flow across the site. Individuals who can offer their services for money can be paid in in-game currency, if they so choose. Sharing money would also help alleviate frustrations of being extremely close to a particular goal, given that they don’t beg for PixCoins. These transactions would not be taxed. |
