You say 4.2b a day... why not just farm mp and make that in an hour?
It just burns me out.
I used to do until my 2 familiars ran out of juice and then I just didn't wanna play anymore for the rest of the day.
When I work most of the day, I don't wanna spend an hour on MP and these runs take less than 3 minutes combined. (elucid and ewill)
Honestly closing the donation won't fix the economy and what's worse? The owner give up a few days of donation just to fix the econ? Are you gonna fund the server? Furthermore DP is not the source of this Econ crisis.... SOOOOO MAYBE if you're gonna suggest something, be SMART enough to suggest something that is not self beneficial my dear mapler.
EDIT: And also everything deflated, which mean things you sell are cheaper and things you buy are also cheaper. Not much changes honestly
Firstly, I believe so far people have donated enough to fund the server for its entire life time. In fact, I'm positive the admins are making a lot of money into their own pockets from this server. Don't get me wrong,
I'm not complaining about them making profit from this server. The admins and GMs invest their time working on this server just as I invest my time at my work. But I just don't think funds are a problem for the right now.
Second, if by "self beneficial" you meant "a lot of people in the mid-end game community" so yeah, I'm suggesting something self beneficial.
At that stage in the game you start trading with DPs and not with just mesos. So yeah, DPs have a high value for me, as I'm in that stage right now.
Also, think of the fact that there are people who buy DP with real currency. They are paying the same amount of money for the same amount of DP, only the DP are worth less than they used to.
But you're right, everything is deflated so in the end it doesn't matter.
