General Market? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=12166.msg151833#msg151833

The idea is simple: A general market. If you sell, the cards add stock to the general market. You can buy them back if you have a 5-10% chance to win it from the oracle. However, you can also buy rare weapons and upgraded cards, for what they're worth. An upgraded card might cost 1.5k+original card cost. What do you guys think?

Why would you go on general market to get an upgraded card if you could just do it on your own?

Oh, and, it has stock. you can also buy shards for their price in the trainer, 7. an SoG, SoD, or SoR would cost 1507. Oh, and, don't put nymphs, keep them "Ultra Rare". It would be good because newbies who need rares might get lucky, get in, and get an eternity, etc.
It would also help people who wish to try a new type of deck, like animated adrenaline jade staff. But if you can't farm them off T50, because you never get jade staffs, and instead eternities, or pulvies, then it would be considerably harder.

@harry: To do it in one place?

Sorry but i really dont like the idea to buy rares,rares are rares for a reason for you to earn them not get them the easy way,anyways most players already have 6 of very un upped card in there storage and is working to upgrade them so 6 un upped and 6 upgraded of the samw card.

Maybe, try to make them into a online market system, so we can set our own for-sale-cards and price :)

Economical connections between the accounts invite hackers and cheaters.
Even T50 invites them.
And zanz would have the fun to have a database which is *** MB / GB / TB (whatever) bigger.
That would give you the fun to wait for ages that the market window loads.
I see no use for the players or the developer.
It could have use for the players who find ways to "betray" stupid people and get their electrums.


Our current system (http://elementsthegame.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Price_Formula) is simple. Even for teenies with bad math skills.

I`m teffy, here - and Ringat on Kongregate

I guess, but then it'll be discombobulated, because he's not online every second of the day. As much as I like to think he's a god he also needs to sleep, eat, and earn money.

o.o
Theres really no need for this. Just farm and get the rares yourself. Its a waste of server space and coding time.

No, this would add some spice, because you could sell anything here basically(even Nymphs!) but you have to pay around 5-10% from the price of the cards(it should has a maximum number though, like around 500?) and add a timer for cards(so you could lose your investment if no one buys your card) So it's looks like an online auction house. :D :))

Most people here are already against earning nymphs, so this will basically ruin the game. This idea just sounds fancy, but doesn't really help the game improve much. Its just spice without substance, like you say.
