I know many other games allow you to exchange a form of "in-game currency" for whatever they call the "pay currency". Why not allow us to trade GP on the GTC? Many players can not and will not ever buy GP items because it just isn't in their budget. Big spenders already buy lots of wharehouses to auction off for CTP. Why not skip the extra step and sell $20 worth of GP? Then the non-pay players get that Reality Transfuser or mission dyson they wanted. (would help with player retention too I think)

It would have to only be available through GTC auctions, not simply sent between players like normal artis/minerals/materials. Dan still gets paid but the benefits get spread around the galaxy more.

Thoughts?

I would like to see this, don't really see how this can be abused, plus it promotes people to buy more GP.

+1

Like the idea, not the way you want it implemented. The prices for GP would soar tremendously (with countless players wanting some and not enough suppliers) and only a select few will be able to afford it in the end.

this would tie in with my black market idea

I think, that this is the point here - let more GP to be used but also do not let to overflow it easily.
GP should be paid is really high price of CTPs or in case of current solution, in B of credits. This would make Kurenite again very much needed

Major +1

as much as it would be an alright addition, how can you NOT see the abuse that would occur...
create 25 new accounts, power rank to rank 50 or whatever is required to use the GTC, and presto, ill sell 10GP x25 times... or more... yeah, no room for abuse at all.

Why not just do a little bit of online banking and spend a few dollars yourself?

if they do that then they have more problems besides having a multi acount

Its an auction, if the multis put them on, more than one person will notice and bid on it.

Essentially, you'd have to make kindhearted souls out of every single high ranking player who can make endless hauls of credits daily, this idea will still push down the young ships

+1
I like this idea. I also dont think it would be pushing down low rank players. Imagine a rank 100 selling 50 GP? They would make waaay more than they would ever be able to normally. And lets face it, all the high rank players who need GP would probably be willing to actually buy it. And if not, then the player selling the GP is still benefiting from higher ranks bidding on it.

True, I had forgot about that initial 10gp... That could be worked around though. Minimum sale of 20GP



This isn't to help young ships. It's to help people that can't afford to spend money on the game. Being high ranked doesn't mean you spend money. Low ranks that spend money on the game could make a ton of ctp fast.

I would personally like to see all the GP artifacts available for sale on the GTC, and I don't object to GP being sold directly either. One possible solution around the "multis selling their initial GP" problem, just make a dedicated GP selling slot that takes 10 GP to unlock, once unlocked you can post any amount of GP for sale on that slot.

I thought you guys where talking to allow others to bid on things with GP. So like when you start a CTP auction you can pick if you want to sell it for GPs or Creds. I think that would just about as well. And maybe keep the market in check. (Since KU is all ready worth a lot with CTP selling for a ton) Low ranks that never buy GP would never have enough creds to buy it if it was sold flat out. And the low ranks that did buy it with RL money would just be really rich and able to buy all the CTP out from under everyone not to mention all the other arti's they need which would just end up forcing those other low ranks that couldn't buy the GP's in the first place lower and lower on the totem poll.

The GTC only sells things for credits atm so you'd only be able to sell GP for credits might actually bring some value back into credits.

Easier fix would be to let the items only buyable with GP be sendable.
Obviously trading qse or terraformers could be abused but sending reality transfusers or trinity cores?

Not seeing how QSES and terrafromers can be abused.



Easiest solution with GP:

Require GP items to be worth at least 11 GP.

big +1

Quasis and Terraformers can be abused? Becuase players dont have to leave legion to sell them. And only sendable artis are sellable currently...
