Your predictions on the future of cards?

Postby Erratica » Mon Dec 31, 2018 12:50 am

Title pretty much says it all.

I'm curious as to what everyone thinks will happen with the market, more specifically will ex nations be worth anything? will season one be more valuable than season two? Will prices stabilise and if so where do you think?

I think as the game progresses, older seasons will become more valuable than newer seasons, especially as nations holding these cards cte and the availability of season one cards drops. Consider that players joining after the start of new seasons will never be able to generate cards of the seasons in which they weren't present, and it should be pretty clear what direction things take long term.

Ex nations should generally lose their value, eventually, because at some point it will be very difficult to find cards for nations that haven't cted in a given season. 10 years from now, a season one card for a nation that is still alive should be worth a fortune.

I think things will eventually stabilize. There are some cards that have a market value that was artificially inflated by the April fools event that should soon lose their value (if you own one of these cards I suggest you get rid of it quick and get money from it while you can). I also think that Admin will eventually have to either invalidate or outlaw the use of puppets for card generation, as that completely destroys the market and makes this a game about how many puppets one can control. They have already outlawed the use of scripts for this, and I think they will go further sometime in the near future.

DiRito-Opolis ridiculously bought a Helaw card for 1400+ bank, inflating the price. Stuff like this hopefully goes away

I think card drop rates should be buffed, at least a bit. I've answered a good amount of issues since the update dropped and I've gotten zilch, nada, nuddin.

I have cards on DPK, but I can't trade them over (at least nothing that I've seen).

Well, from personal experience, DiRito... :unsure:
His decisions are often quite odd, to say the least. But 1400+... that's just insane.

Anyway, my prediction of the future is someone finding a way to exploit it and the mods will either have to place large restrictions on it or have to shut down cards entirely.

Or Option C: Ban the player, leading to hilarious results.

Imagine the ban message...

You have been banned and declared DOS (Delete-on-Sight).
Reason: farming cards with anime characters on them

Perfectly good reason to ban someone. Anime is a mistake.
