Not to be a ****, but this is ridiculous. It has always been a speculation game – whether to save or sell. Since Episode 2 hit every single change made to the economy has been geared toward flezz reduction. Item prices have gone up, deliveries have been restricted and then reduced. Now sell price of junk has been reduced. How was this not anticipated as a possibility?

It would have been fine if all of these things had been done at the same time, but they were not. Some players have managed to avoid all of these ‘taxes’, through luck or foresight. Probably luck.

As for the Obama tax, I considered it the sacrifice of a few to help ensure a limited peen.

A large number of players were affected by the Obama tax, but everyone kept their relative position on the leaderboard. Here, a small number of players have been specifically singled out, and effectively taken out of competition. I was on around 11m , now I’m on around 6.5m , which means all my efforts were for nothing. **** that.

quang – perhaps it feels unfair, but it’s a game mechanic change that impacts all players. It’s not like someone sat there doing something illegal to lock up the leader board, live with it man.

This isn’t the kind of competition I’m going to ride out. It’s more the kind that means I’m going to stop bothering to compete.
