Asobimarket and spina

Oh, I see what you mean. I know for material points, you can have it lower than the default price. I'll look at spina, as the default price is 100¥ per 100k spina.
I'm happy with that price point, as it's about $13 NZD. And if I look at farming materials, I make around 2.4m a day for around 1-2 hours of my time. So, $31.2 for my spina is worth it to me... Unsure about how the buyer feels. But at least we can give a market value to ingame items.

But, I'm making ¥10-20 for materials i don't use, and can convert that into spina now.

 

Thing is, the market spina is 10 to 20x higher then what the usual spina sellers go for.

 

Well even irl black market has always been cheaper...

Unless its contraband

 

Oh, the illegal bot farmers? I don't think their prices should be considered. Since they're undermining the game, and the people that invest in the game. Keeping it viable for free to play members to enjoy.

I know in China and Indonesia a couple of US dollars can go a long way, but they also ruin the game for the normal players. By ruining chat in Sofya, making it almost impossible to sell items off the CB.

They spam the maps with identical players, with randomised names ruining the feel and experience for new players, and annoying long time players.

They make it harder for new players to advance, and for experienced players to establish an economy. As people can use the alternative illegal method, to achieve what legitimate players invest in, by days and not years.

Personally, i think regional servers should be restricted to non paying customers and new players. While international is only for players who spend money on real orbs and long term legitimate players.

I'd happily pay for a subscription to avoid the bot farmers and spammers. But the people who buy from sellers, are just as bad as the people who sell.

And they don't have an excuse, I've got two friends who've played without paying for two years, and still managed to achieved level caps, all 2s gear with less than 1500 hrs of game play.

In terms of the asobimo market, this is a great way for legitimate players to earn money. As I'm the kind of person that is happy to purchase 1m spina for ¥1000. Which is 6 times for than the illegal price.

 

Yeah, and in the black market you usually get ripped off, shot or imprisonment.

Like that Chinese kid that sold his kidney, so he could buy an iPhone and ipad... Who is now permanently in bed due to the surgery being done illegally and incorrectly.

Moral of the story, there is no free short cut without a huge consequence.

Doc : kid.. i have a bad news for u, those surgery we went thru b4 have been a failure u will have to stay on bed for the rest of ur life..

Kid : YAAAYYYY!!! @.@ WTH MA NEW IPHONE FOR THE REST OF MA LIFE~

 

Exp potions are set at 30 yen a level so we're talking like $50 for one level 175 potion

 

The effort alone of filling the exp pot is hard to begin with so I think the pricing is reasonable but still mehh too expensive so I'll pass once again.
