In elements at one moment electronum become worthless.
It's very bad for the game.

I suggest to bring a inflation to this game :D

Let admin make Auctions.
Were player can bid for nymphs or marks.
It is easy to do ( a topic on the forum ), at we would at least have a reason to farm, and to gain electronum.

Marks are tournament trophies. They shouldn't be obtainable through other means. As for nymphs - this would make it possible to grind for them, and they are supposed to be non-grindable.

Also I don't see the problem. You don't have a reason to farm now, but you have a reason to build good decks and take part in tournaments instead. :) IMO that's much better game design.

IMO : your opinion sucks big time.

There is always enough place for better. And this is better.

2. I took some good places at tourneys. And they gave me electronum. Without auctions i can wipe my ass with those electronum. I am a rational person and i hate irrational things like this award, and like yours IMO.
So i am trying to make this awards and farm rational.

So do you just want something to spend electrum on, or is it that you want to be able to buy nymphs/marks (via auction)?

But there's a reason you can't get nymphs and marks for electrum.

Part of the reason for nymphs is that we don't want people who don't do extreme amounts of grinding to be at even more of a competitive disadvantage to those who do. Another part is that we don't want to encourage even more players to do extreme amounts of grinding.

There have been other suggestions for things to do with electrum, such as holofoil or alternate art card versions.

IMO you are quite rude and abrasive (and i base this on previous posts as well). Quite a few people don't agree with auctions either which neither makes them irrational or their opinions wrong. Just because you believe it is a better system does not make it so.

The way the system is now it allows anybody (newbie, veteran, what not) the chance to have a card not anybody can have. With auctions it would A) only have the rich players access to these cards or B) the market would be flooded with these cards.

I personally like that there are cards you can earn through skill or just plain luck.

1.luck?
there are people who in 3 months gained 3-4 nymphs.
i gained 0 nymphs in 2, 5 months spinning day by day.

2.When you make an auction you sell 3-5 cards... not 20... so you will not fill the players with cards. And players who farmed and played this game will benefit from this auctions. Somehow it's right , a minimal reward for the effort you did.

MrDeath how many nymphs do you havE?

How many i have is irrelevant. If i had zero does it make my opinion better? If i had 10 would it make my opinion invalid? Whether i had 0 or 10 my opinion would still be the same. I highly doubt you would be so adamant about an auction if you had a bunch of nymphs.

All i know is i have a ton of electrum and i feel that it would be unfair to have an auction. This would mean the poor players have no chance of getting these cards. Thats the charm of the Oracle and I'm sorry that you have won zero.

I have 13 nymphs, and I do NOT support this idea. So does my opinion not matter because I have 13, and I am automagically biased against this?
