Items / Re-releases / Gold shopsmore specifically: re-releasing old cash shop items, into the gold shop.
i have a few things backing up my suggestion, so hear me out!
there is such a long line of item re-releases that you guys had to make a new thread for suggestions, and even with how much you guys are releasing NEW things, its hard to fit in all the items that are unlisted on the MP
you guys really bank on exclusivity, but it is a false demand.
i think people will buy things they really want from the cash shop, and you always say 'just buy from the MP otherwise' but as we have seen through the years, while that does work - so many items are unlisted, so many items are boosted so high even if they were a common item. and inflation of course has taken a big rise along with everything.
most items have a re-release timer of at least 6 months before they are eligible?
lets make it 1 year total between when its launched in the cash shop, and when its released in the gold shop
it will:
1. put items back into release
2. make gold shops viable again
3. eat up gold from the system so its actually removed from the ecosystem, and not just given to another user with a tax removed.
4. the items are not in a forgotten realm of waiting to be re-released or not
everyone can still buy their gcash items, have their exclusivity because they bought it and were able to have it and sell it and trade and do all these things
but then later on, 12 months later, everyone else if they choose to can also buy it!
the exclusivity marker being 'I HAD IT FIRST' everyone always wants that new thing so it isnt like people are gonna be like 'ahh ill just wait' because theyll want to get it NOW
thanks to the current marketplace having an option to buy with gcash, that sets a definite cash:gold ratio. just follow your own ratios for pricing in the gold shop based off of what it was in the cash shop.
make the cheaper items cheaper than the obviously more complicated items, but dont make it super impossible.
i wouldnt mind spending 500m-500b on an item if i really wanted it ! hell that is what people already do for their quests already, except the prices are always changing or not even there if its unlisted.
and for RIGs, you can just sell the RIG as-is!! instead of the individual items. maybe make them slightly cheaper so people can mass-buy them and try their luck
rather than just listing all the items that were inside it.
[but perhaps, have an item listing of each rig in its description, or something, so people know whats in it ?? but thats a nitpick for another post]and if not back into one of the already existing gold shops like barton's boutique or the like
perhaps remodel one of the BARELY-USED extra gcash shops, like loyal's or mechaneko or one of those.
[or have one of them be like, for chance items, one be for paw items, one be for normal outfits, etcetc]
loyal's would be great for RIGs, and paw items in mechaneko!? i mean the name says it all <3 then the rest can go to rococo
p.s. you could have things exclusively bought for a certain time in the gcash shop, as normal
then move them to the cloud9 shop, so people who are angel subscribers can buy more throughout the time period before it becomes a gold-shop item [like they kinda have that power for the marketplace if it was expensive they can keep buying them then selling]
that way it gives people who are an angel subber more time to buy things and they can continue to throw money at you
because thats what happens when things arent exclusive, or limited-quantity, we can continue to buy <3
SO it would be: cash shop for the normal release, when its out of there it goes to cloud9 for angel subbers, then after the full year its into the gold shops!
p.s.s. one thing you guys might not consider is that you have SO MANY ITEMS on this website. which is a good thing considering what you guys are doing and how you make money. however it leaves people with broken inventories when they get too big.
this would be a way where, they can safely sell off their items and know they can buy them back without them suddenly being 10x more expensive because someone jacked up the price on MP, or it simply never being there again because its unlisted
- inventory management.
- helps inflation
- helps marketplace price jacking
- no more unlisted items
