Denied [All Main Servers Suggestion] Market Change Announcements

In Game Name:

CP3fan1​

What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:

All Main Servers​

Short title for your suggestion:

Market Change Announcements​

What are you suggesting:

I suggest there be an announcement of market changes at least 24 hours before they occur. It serves to hurt nobody except shop owners to have surprise nerfs overnight and wake up to see thousands of items bought at a losing price. That isn't part of the game, it's just punishment for trying to run a shop.​

Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:

I think it serves nobody to have surprise nerfs or buffs. When has a surprise market change ever helped anyone? What do you have to lose by announcing them?​

One suggestion per form:

I Understand.​

 

If you consider changing your prices to avoid getting burned by price drops abuse, then yeah?...

Not following the logic here lol

 

Makes sense. I mean that might be an option too. I was thinking maybe only announce price drops, not buffs. Buffs are what people would stockpile on. But yeah if there's some reason to keep it more vague, a simply announcement of changes incoming would be better than the current system.

 

Ok? The justification being that nobody knows about global market fluctuation doesn't necessarily apply to a situation where the "fluctuation" is completely artificial and planned. That is to say, you can't just justify random planned price drops/increases by comparing it to an economy that is not controlled or stimulated by a single actor. This is entirely different.

 

Fair, but it wouldn't be at a loss to shop owners because prices wouldn't change until the drop. You could sell at a profit right up until the change occurred. Unloading to avoid a loss in income is not abusive or wrong imo. Hoarding and using insider information to gain an upperhand is.
