bad way to use cash shop and do the idea cash shop work ?

iixviiiix

I get tired of people keep using same model of cash shop that ruined so many MMORPG.

The current using system is

Real cash > cash shop > cash item > gold

Using real cash to buy cash item and then turn them into gold . Problem with this system is if there are too much of gold and no cash item price will over priced follow with the other in game items price raise . In the end , in game economy collapse follow with player leaving

The idea system is

Real cash > cash shop > cash item

Gold > cash shop > cash item

So do you think with the idea system the real cash spending rate will become lower ?

Anything purchased in the Cash Shop should be permanently bound to your account. You should not be able to trade Cash Shop items on the Auction House for gold.

It's the gold farmers that kill the economy. There are so many Gold Selling websites that run countless in-game farming bots. It's disgusting. FTP games have a hard time managing the issue, because bans are fruitless. The farmers just make new accounts, use different IPs via VPN, and start over.

I still say ArcheAge beta was one of the best MMORPG games ever created. After launch, it was an instant turd...

A game does not need a cash shop to have run away inflation. The problem you are describing is not attributed to the cash shop, but rather to the poor game economy.
