I Played this game SEVERAL years ago and really enjoyed it but had to quit due to RL obligations.
The marketplace is useless. why would you allow the abuse of it? If you are looking to make profit, It would seem that you would create a cap on the amount of resources for sale. It appears that a few players/guilds are ruining it for the rest of us. WHY would I spend anything on this game If I have to take a loan out in order to purchase "A" needed item? I don't need a million , I just need one. Unless these players/Guilds are your main source of income. In that case, good luck. Pay to win ruined SI and it appears that that is the way Bigpoint likes it. sorry If this sounds harsh but DAYUM!
