I think that's a good idea actually a sort of reward system, and give people insentive to come on every day it'd solve the whole money farming issue (which has sort of been taken care of). I do think the game's due for a few more mini games. This isn't as big of an issue for me since I really don't spend all that much money in the game not much in the way of clothing that I particulary want right now (I'm happy with the swat, and suit and tie outfits).

So mister Overfiend, we meet at the field of battle again!
why you ask not both? same answer i got for you in the other thread: workload!
best we could do is discuss options, as a community agree on the best or most easily implemented one and make that known to devs. But piling onto an ever expanding list of ''demands'' will grow us a very adversarial climate.

[Overfiend]

Joanna, I don't consider you or anyone else on this forum an adversary. After all feedback is just feedback. The devs will do what they want anyway. But It won't stop me from providing feedback as a paying customer. I won't be making any excuses for the Devs. I believe in them and i know they have the ability to deliver something great. And like everyone else we are offering ideas that could make the game great. take it or leave it....If they are willing to put in the work then we'll have an awesome game. If not then they'll be hearing from us on these forums asking for something great. That's what feedback is for.....I love your guidance and insights in forums....I hope that regardless of what the devs decide that they put their best into it...

I'm not worried. I mean they've been getting pretty consistent with updates bigger ones usually come in at the end/beginning of each month or so.

First, the user numbers got extremely bloated when there were players with more than 50 fake accounts. Which is not gonna help anyone.
Second, trolls and such abused the fact that they could register with fake emails (which they no longer can because confirmation is required). Making it easier for us to stop trolling.
Third, the current value of ingame money is INFLATED. You are complaining about a lack of money, only because there are people that currently have HUGE sums of it. If that were not the case, prices on things such as escorts, auctions etc would undoubtedly become lower to reflect the new value of the currency.

Now, I agree that the minigames could be a bit more rewarding, and also more be added. So that gaining money would be less of a chore. I also spotted someone talking about daily/weekly "quests" which I think sounds like a rather good idea. Or lower the costs of stuff, either way would achieve the same thing.
And I've never been a fan of microtransactions, cause the price is always far above the value. I understand the wish/need for microtransactions though, but could agree with increasing the amount you get, rather than 1k for 1$, that feels very low, especially with how the economy currently is.

Also a big pointer. New players get their 1k on the first avatar. It's avatars made after the first one that don't get the 1k.

All in all, has removing alt farming fixed the economy? No. And improvements do need to be made to balance things out, somewhat.

but cant they still use fake emails though?

if you look back at emmie's post on page3 (heck I quoted the whole statement in my post), 1st character made with said email get a 1k, just not the characters, afterwards.

UPDATE: i stand corrected, doesn't matter you get $0 either way

[JohnSins]

Oh, lol... didn't know.... *starts making new emails* JK, its just way too much effort to make an email, and confirm it a couple times just to make a $1000 mnf bucks.... Most people just used their other emails to farm and remade a new character each day, so the majority of farming has ceased.... Its much easier to just host an auction for a few hours and make 50k+

i was actually wrong, I tried to confirm, but as it turns out, you start with $0
