What you have to ask yourself is are you playing that game where inf is the scoring (which is fine) or are you like me where you accumulated it as an amusement but you'd much rather spend it on stuff to pew pew and smash smash.
I've not decided where to spend it yet. I have two functional lvl 50 toons I could redo to make significantly better, or I could start on a third.
I basically just sold some of my drops instead of putting them in storage for that bil. So, my toons have all of their regular operating funds and that bil is "extra" money.
I have found more enjoyment in playing around with the market than I anticipated. For the market games I understand, it's helpful to have a deep pool of liquidity.
Once I decide which toon I am going to spiff up I'll know better what I am going to do.Quote:Originally Posted by SwellGuy
Now if you have 2B or more saved to buy stuff that still falls into the category I am in but at a higher level of purchasing.
I like the idea of being able to get w/e I want, but I enjoy the smash more than the market.
I think it's true that the second bil is an inevitable consequence of teh 1st bil. -

Congratz! It usually isn't a far step from the 1 Billion mark to the Inf cap. Would be nice to have you in that club too.

If things that can be traded are rewards then it is just as good as infa coming out.

Freedom was my first server and has been my only server.
What am I missing out on?

Congratulations!
It's a hard task for those of us who like to spend it as much as we like to make it.
My inflation fears are prob'ly exaggerated, but they exist anyway.
I prefer to invest in items that I can stow away and sell on that fabled rainy day. -
I finally held on to some cash long enough to have a liquid bil in one place.
I humbly submit this for entrance into the ebil club.

If the gambling is inf for inf then the only inf that's destroyed is the house's cut (and, of course w/e is lost).
If instead it's inf for stuff, then there's more inf destroyed per interaction. -

I like it too.
One thing I would want to mention is to Godpants. A million Inf an hour? Really. I would have to say something like ten million an hour is more like it. More if you farm. -
A little more dressing and polishing and this may be ready for the suggestions forum.
I just wanted to run it by the market moguls and mavens 1st.
Thank you GR that's a very nice compilation you have done. -
I second the Dark Kingdom crew. They have several divisions, but not too many. More than one of their divisions are in the top 100.
I have known the leader, Taz, since back in the day before merits were introduced when there was only on DK. They do have a pretty good crew. They are relatively drama free. They are in my coalition. Several of them are my global friends.
I have a top 100 VG too, but it's small.
If you want in one of the DKs you can send me a tell and I'll get you an invite -- @cossatot -
Whats wrong with Freedom?

I doesnt stack from the same power

The possible combinations of methods and rewards are quite numerous.
possible rewards could include
enhancements (the full range from TOs & IOs to HOs and of course special TBAs)
recipes (the full range from TOs & IOs to HOs and of course special TBAs)
inspos
temp powers
costume pieces
emotes
unlockable missions / contacts
special titles
slots machines are a gimme -- relatively easy to set the percentages precisely
but I think some additional pvp gambling would be more attractive to the kinds of people who tend to accumulate inf in this gameScience vs Luck by Mark Twain

I am reasonably sure that gambling fake money for fake prizes isn't yet illegal.
I think it would be better to gamble inf for prizes because that actually removes inf from the game. Whereas inf for inf just shuffles it around (minus the house's cut of course.)
Inf to play
Winnings in chips
Chips to merits or tickets or w/e
Merits / tickets to goods
AND / OR
perhaps similar to the current drop situation except that instead of killing a mob for a chance at a prize, you spend inf for a chance -
if you drag the enhanc to the market an "find" button appears
much quicker -

to get the devs on board we can have the casino pay off in YET ANOTHER new currency that we can only spend at the Casino Store on special l337 Gambling G34r.
=P
just as long as it's not inf
I suppose chips would be most appropriate -
Let the slot machines (or w/e) work. Let player pay w/ inf and be paid in tokens. Tokens are redeemable for prizes (temp powers, enhancements, salvage, w/e but not inf) and or random rolls on reward tables.
Inf goes in but doesn't come out.
As per real a casino, the house always comes out ahead and takes a cut besides.
It's a totally voluntary tax that could be enjoyable as well.
I don't think it work as well if people could gamble inf for inf as if the gambling was inf for goods.
just a thought -
A well procc'd brawl could be useful for some build in some situations.
Particularly if it's a build for malefactoring down and the power choices are tight. -

How's this: There is absolutely no use for an export file.
And no, Mids' is NOT a valid response. Mids' is a third-party, unsupported application.
There're lots of fun game related reasons though. -
your goals may be helpful as well

Hmmm... I wonder just how much Rage a Brute can keep generated with a good Tanker holding most, if not all, of the aggro.
No, I'm serious, I'm really wondering this. I've never played in a group with a Tanker when playing any of my Brutes...
Major fun. No problems with fury. -

Don't forget which faction and how much does the OP want for it.
Details. Details.
