    Some top suggestions once again. Pat your selfs on the back.

    I think the addition of tax on things would be a nice idea, eg.

    50 credits to hold a auction

    few 100 credits to have a shop opend.

    Increase the price to owne a crew.

    keep them ideas rolling in.

    That's a golden idea.

    Also in like the offers and request just make it a 1 credit charge per post. So there wont be any more idiotic posts. :shaggy:

    reply to the 50 credit thing

    I know you all say you dont do it, but lets be serious I huge majority does it. Buy from the rated or known artist. It rare to see some random dude come up with something amazing tbh, its very unlikely.

    I say this because it will cuz problems in the future imo.

    Because people will pay money to start an auction and theirs a chance it wont sell. Then people will stay at offer and request. If that cost money it would be retarded, and then the msn deals will take place, then it will be Scam Galore

    Merged Post:


    I like KinXiom idea, because their are a lot of useless post in the offer and request tbh

    If there is tax on both sections then neither will become more active then the other.

    If people sell via msn and get scamed its their own fault, transactions should only take place in public on this site.

    Charging to post will always be a horrible idea to me. Posting to give away free things in Offers & Requests will become scarce, among other giveaways. Member of the Month is held there, who wants to lose credits by nominating people? how about losing credits by posting the completed graphic request or whatever is asked? Horrid.

    I agree. However, the tax idea sounds great.

    Agreed, however tax to post topics in the market place will be handy.

    its bad for the site that the credit value is depreciating .... its like the equivelent of Yen to USD.

    Don't disable posting for credits, most activity is in the forums where "posting for credits is disabled" anyway, so not much effect. Stop the GR bank and other inflation (I heared the GR Staff have there paychecks aswell, stopping that would have more effect.)

    Most of the staff don't spend their paychecks in the first place, so its rare that they get thrown in the system.

    That seriously made me laugh.

    The GR members don't focus on the USD Rates. They just go with what we always have: 200:1.

    That's not the problem. What is the problem is credits being created and given out for Contests, SotW, etc (which I'm not complaining about). But that's one of the only ways that it's been inflating.

    I have noticed a lot of people on GameRenders with a lot of credits, it is becoming a big hassle at the moment though, with so many people trying to put in massive bids for something you want, so you cannot get that item.

    A well thought Suggestion that action has to be taken on, this matter is becoming very serious!

    Thats going to make a lot of the things that go on sale in the Auctions more expensive in the future, if that path was taken.

    I reckon GR Staff should get together make 100 Tags etc each, sell all they can that they make after a month of hards work and get those credits and wipe them out the system.

    Paying Credits for Membership instead of $, would also take Credits out the System.

    But he already has 100x more than me, and once it's subtracted, he still has 100x more than me.

    :eek:
