I want an answer to a specific question. I don't want that the poll can be interpreted sideways because of "I don't know or I'm fine with anything" kind of options.

The question I'm trying to answer is very clear. Do you want prices to go up further? Should we actually work so that prices go up further? Yes or no?

Ultimately this is not a general poll about the economy. It's a specific poll about a specific arguments some people use, that prices are not high enough and should be higher.

If you want to open a general poll about the economy in the game with multiple options, surely you're free to do so. You're a supporter too. However don't come here, criticising the poll for something it is not, misrepresenting its purpose and trying to make it out as biased because you would have liked it to be different.

I'm happy to concede that all the "No" votes are votes for trying to keep prices as they are. Would you be happy like that? I honestly only care about what percentage of the userbase would like the economy to inflate for whatever reason. As you can see, I also stayed well away from influencing the vote with any kind of introduction or premise.

Arguments in favour of either side are welcome. Maybe someone will change his mind after reading them. Personally I have no interest in trying to convince anyone. Isn't it clear that I'm trying to verify or disprove whether a certain sentiment is shared by the majority of the userbase?

There are also people who repeat like a mantra that prices are too high.

Maybe we will make a poll at some point to see if the people who want lower prices are also in the minority (which would mean people who like the current situation are actually the majority).

Q: Are prices too low in the TL? OR "Prices are too low in the TL" Do you agree with this statement?
A1: Yes.
A2: No.

Ok, I accept your criticism on this, what you suggest is probably a clearer/more efficient way to put it. Do you think it would have made a difference in the results? People who are ok with current prices or don't think they are low would still vote "No" in your poll.

First, that's highly complex to convey in a survey. Open a whole debate about it, and you may get some answers. Second, comparing two different situations, with extremelly different conditioning factors is utopian and pointless, from my perspective...

This poll was not meant to start a debate on the general situation of the game economy. I wholeheartedly agree with your second point.

As before, there are supporters from every side. But there is also an in-between stage of people who believe prices are about fine. Don't turn us in the "BB Third World", please!

It would be absolutely fine if 100% of those who voted "No" were ok with the current situation.

Ultimately this is not a general poll about the economy. It's a specific poll about a specific arguments some people use, that prices are not high enough and should be higher.

Don't tell me - I don't think you have an agenda to increase inflation, remember? Tell it to that other guy that seemed to actually want to discuss the economy, if he ever shows up again at least. If you're looking for virtual pats on the back by getting people to vote against these arguments that vex you so, I'm all in favor of that.

Come on, hrudey! No need to be sour about this. You're leaning towards the majority of people who are fine with the current situation, you said that, remember?

Now other people can say they speak for you too, when they mention the 80% to those who say we should increase prices or prices are not high enough! Isn't that great? (y)

I only wanted to have factual evidence of whether the userbase stands on those arguments.

I'm not having a go, just trying to start an actual debate, where anyone and everyone can contribute there ideas.


This is just turning into the last thread where its just arguing and bickering over little details, which isn't going to encourage people to join in.

Ok I agree. Nobody except ExplosiveBubbleWrap gave us an idea of how he relates to the current levels on the TL.

I will add that for the kind of difference-making player I'm looking for it would take more than a season to acquire, judging by the going rates in the last offseason and despite that I'm still in the cup, I'm at the top of my league and -Typical Weekly Net Income: $ 92 157-.

Is that too long for a single player given that kind of weekly profit? I don't know. I sure understand how people who turn in a 20k profit have no chance whatsoever to save and buy that kind of players. You can say, well then buy progressively towards that goal, buy and sell players of an intermediate skill level until you can afford that great player. Unfortunately with taxes of various kind that's become more difficult too :(.

its a yes or no question in build, it doesn't need 3 sides.. it defeat the point of direct questioned asked. which is yes or no.

No middle to debate the two. A direct question is not biased lol.. What your looking for is wiggle room, Nothing wrong with that. But there is such thing as direct question in which you answer yes or no.

why did u delete my post. It was topic??

Restricting manager from post debate is not healthy. every in entitle to healthy debate. what wrong did I do in my post?
