The way to fix this is to take off the limitations on people pricing gold coins on the direct market, if teh GM took of the price limitations on the direct market i bet lots of people would post gold coin offers and no one would be complaining. It has been 1 week and 1 days since i have not been able to buy gold coines on the direct market.

Yes, that's what I meant. Instead of having to beg in the forum for coinage, then haggle over prices, then arrange the trade, then complete the trade, which can take several days, because not everyone is always on all the time (we have other lives as well)---we already have a place to simplify that, and it is called direct trade. This crisis could be solved instantly by simply removing price controls and letting us trade thru the normal GC exchange page. It makes me wonder if someone is simply wanting to see just how many hoops we will be willing to jump thru to keep playing the game. There is a possibility that this could backfire.

People who have cash and want coins are having difficulty buying them and people who have coins and want cash can't get as much in exchange for them.

Why have a price ceiling? Just allow players the convenience and security of direct trade

And many more have requested that the GM remove gold coin price controls on the Direct trading so that players who have gold coins can let them go and players like me who need them can have some. Players who haev gold coins Andy will not give them up unless they set up their own price, thats the way free markets work. Take off price controls so taht people can price goldcoins however they want to, the market will decide at what price it should be at during any given time.

And please for the love of god remove all limitations on premium players on FB on how much they can spend on weapons, if i am a premium player on FB than i should be able to spend 5-10T on weapons if i want to.

This continuos posting about GC in several threads by one author has now amounted to SPAM.

If I were moderator you would have been warned then banned.

Crafty, we're trying to get a point across.

If the GM chooses to stay out of selling GCs, then let us the players decide what we choose to offer them for, with no limitations.

Whoa whoa whoa Keto.

Read my post again.

In no way would I try to stop you making your point.

However, multiple threads by the same author saying exactly the same thing is nothing short of spam. This I can and will complain about. It is not netiquette and probably against the terms and conditions of the right to use the forum.

nicolas outkast tom morgan scarlet christopher kitsune Maclean keto these are all the players posting about this issue not just me, I'm just the advocate trying to get the issue across, there has not been a single post of gold coin offer for more than a week every time I login, the reason because players want more for their gold coins but their are pricing limitations on what people can offer them for. Also. Crafty you said I should go to chat and ask for a virtual transfer with someone for gold coins for my game money, but I should not have to do this, it should be simple and that's why we have a direct gold trading market and simply it is not working because of the price limitations imposed by the GM. It's not just me crafty but many paying premium members who want the price limitations removed on the direct trading market. It's not spam I'm a premium paying member and I want to help make this game better so I am offering a solution and the players I mentioned above agree with this solution.

Look at all the posts crafty there are various members posting of this issue not just me, each one asking for a solution to this gold coin market with no gold coin offers. Look at the post about gold coins with 57 posts, I wrote 4 of them in there not all 57.

I agree with Quetzalcoatl,

End price fixing of gold coins and let the free market decide the value and exchange rate.

Lord Lee.

nicolas outkast quetzalcoatl tom morgan christopher kitsune Maclean keto Lord Lee, the list keeps growing! GM please consider this!

I'd hardly call posting '+1' in a thread of Andy mentioning ways of getting free GC 'posting about the issue' much less license for using my name as a means of garnering support for your cause.

lolnamedropping

I was not name dropping each one of them has stated in other posts that they agree if you do not agree i would be happy to take your name off as i have done so but i thought you did agree that they should remove price limitations on selling and buying gold coins that are set by the GM on the direct market.

Instead of just posting the names i will also post what they said in support.

nicolas, outkast, quetzalcoatl, tom morgan, christopher, kitsune, Maclea,n keto, Lord Lee, Jo, nix 001

I think i can say that these are premium players who pay to play the game.

Cool avatar Quetz.

And yes, I agree it is irritating not to be able to buy gold coins when you want to! I need them to buy pop, and am having to wait....not cool.

If there were constant gold coin offers like the gazillion cash offers, this would not be an issue.

This decision bites.

(Thanks for the offers Keto)

With the amount of sources for game cash it makes perfect sense for players to totally control the game cash market. But, with limited sources to make GC's it seems unreasonable to put the sole burden of supplying the game with GC's on the players shoulders.

As i stated in my other post, its going to be extremely hard to keep enterprises extended, countries in war protection, and buying boosters. I like the idea that the Game Masters are trying to make the game more realistic, but whats realistic about buying 1 million people in population to begin with. If buying war protection, i figure it should be the Security Council that enforces this, but the coins spent on War protection goes to the Gm's, where i guess there just..cease to exist. If you wanted to create a realistic market as such as limiting how many gold coins are on each world, then like i said in the other post, have it where game money can buy war protection, buy boosters and population and extend empires along with membership also.

We'll trade thru virtual assets if the game has come to that. We'll have to start a dedicated trading thread here on the forum. I imagine it will be like the GC trading page, only without limits. A little inconvenient, but if GM is gonna cut off the supply AND put arbitrary limits on the pricing, I don't see that we have any choice. Once again.

Andy - Redman has a point.

As players we can make SimCountry cash on a monthly basis, but Gold Coins are only available if you extend registration or win a level or ranking award. The Gold Coins that are available through those limited means are generally only enough to extend your countries or enterprises to match your gaming period. If there are any extra, most people use them up in boosters for their slave countries or to buy population or cargo shuttles.

@nix: I'd like to buy coin from you at 90 or 100 too, but I can't either. I can't buy population or increase my spending, and I use that spending increase a lot, because I hand-supply a lot of corps. I do NOT understand why the supply is cut off AND price controls left in place. I don't mind the GM getting out of the GC business, but restricting free trade almost seems adding insult to injury.

Hi all.
Anyone know Why there is a restraint on how much I can request for a GC? Is it not my GC? to ask for what I wish for it?
I want more than 79B for it. I want 85B for it ;)

Actually, thinking about it, I want 100B for it

Why can't I put my GC on the Market for 100B?

Dam it. That has annoyed me now. First time I have ever been told what I can and can't do with something I own! (apart from my car and my ciggy) ;)

Do shut up. I was offering you a solution to your GC shortage problem. Seems like all you are interested in is finding the problems.

It doesn't matter how many people agree with you, posting the same thing over and over in multiple threads is SPAM.

Okay than i will no longer bring up this problem, it seems that your solution is temporary and makes the game more complicated so be it. I was not finding problems i was trying to make it simple you are the one not seeing the problem this makes for alot of people. So instead of offering a solution i will do what you say and not try to find ways to make things easier, Instead I will ASK for gold coins and go thru a complicated and more tedious way in finding gold coins. But do not start complaining about this later crafty when people do not have anymore gold coins to expand their registration time, becuase if they do than i two will call it SPAM.

I will trade at 90B per gold coin. So if you have gold coins crafty or anyone i will do a transfer at 90B per gold coin Currently i need 10 gold coins so i will give 900B for 10.

You still dont get it do you.

LISTEN: By all means highlight your difficulties, make suggestions, garner support and do everything you are doing...

BUT: Keep it to one thread. Starting multiple threads about the same topic is the SPAM part of what you are doing.

I cant clarify myself any further. Sorry.
