If you have played Earth before in mid-2023, you should probably know by now that the cubit prices are absolutely disgusting. The prices used to be around 300mil to 400mil, which I would say is a reasonable price, but the prices have skyrocketed all the way to 1 billion. And, unless you have an overpowered cash grinder, 1 billion is very hard to get. From 60m went to 300m, then 500m, then 700 - 800m, then to 1 billion. All of this happened in a matter of a couple months.

I shouldn't be complaining if I don't have a way to fix this rapid increase in prices for cubits. Although it will be hard, my way of seeing is to stop high balling so much. When the prices were about 300m to 400m, buyers were willing to buy them for 700 million to get them easier so that the seller wouldn't debate whether they should sell it or not. Why can't buyers/sellers keep it at the average price?

You might think that I don't understand that when cubits are harder to get, the prices go up. For example, if you have done /prestige many times, you should know that it will be harder to grind those tasks. But again, if you prestige once, the next time you will prestige and you will get 6 cubits, and more and more. So, the grind is pretty much worth it, and cubit prices should stay the same.

SVA's have also rapidly increased in price. Remember "Skull Shirt?" From what I know, people use to sell it on Earth for around 10 - 15 cubits. Now, people sell it for 40 cubits. Same thing as I said earlier, as time goes by, prices go up. But still, no one wants to pay $40 dollars worth of cubits for a chest plate.

Not only have the SVA prices go up, but the normal items prices have gone up as well. Legendary items have drastically went up in price the same way. A Legendary sword and pickaxe has went up to 1 cubit, ancient sword is 0.5c, ancient helmet is 0.5c, and they shouldn't be worth that much. Maybe the ancient stuff, but I should not pay 1 cubit for a legendary pickaxe. This is only good for the sellers.

Well, that's all I've got to say, if you have any arguments, please tell me and I might change my mind about stuff. Thank you for reading this thread.

I completely agree.

Earth should never had a spawner economy added, since now we get ridiculous inflation to literal Survival levels. However, at the moment, not much can be done, and we're just going to have to wait until Season 4, when it will hopefully be reverted to something like Season 2's economy where inflation was practically non-existent and you didn't need a bunch of alts to AFK grinders 24/7.

Honestly, the alt account maximum should be at MOST 3. 9 is crazy amount, and the only reason Earth has around 110 - 120 "active" players are just alt accounts.

Okay first let me say the cubit price is made by the players its supply/demand and a economics factor. I have said for a while now that cubit prices are going to go up. Reason for this is they are higher on survival then on earth and I make the same amount per 5 min. If I can achieve the same money per day then the eco will probably end up to the same amount per cubit. More money achievable more the cost of cubits.

As far as cubit prices that's set my the same market of supply and demand. Skull shirts never went openly for 10c as I know. I know a few paid that but they were also the people that were so excited they got the shirt for 10c. A value of an item is an agreement between the seller and the buyer. Is something worth 500c only if 2 people agree on it. Some stuff is invaluable. For example there are 4 Galactic axes. I have one, Jacob has 2 and Wub has 1. People say they are worth 200c. But none of us selling so not sure if you could say its worth that. I personally know I wouldn't sell for 500c. The cubit prices on Earth are actually very low compared to other realms. On survival, skyblock, and olympus there is items that are several hundred to over 1k for 1 item.

So overall just to summarize unfortunately there is nothing staff can do to help you. The eco will be the eco and regardless if we have alts or not there will always be increasing prices through the season it is what it is

I love how positive you are, which you read posts carefully related to Earth and other realms, answering with details, and clarifying ambiguous matters. I just advise you to nominate yourself for Admin or Manager since you're very skilled and overqualified for Helper role. In addition, your suggestions for rules clearly appearing that they have been implemented and updated in [ManaCube Network: Official Rules] post.

Anyway, good luck with your application!

I understand that staff can't help with the eco and the players make the economy. Making a ton of money per 5 minutes is also a problem. It is extremely easy to get money, if you have a grinder. But for the people that don't or can't afford an alt, the prices are extremely unfair. Yes, cubit prices go up certain times, but since again, not many people have a 9 chunk grinder, they cannot afford 1 cubit with this eco.

The only way I'm actually making billions is via casino. I make a casino and have a small SVA inside and people pay 300m or 0.5c. This is basically the only way players can actually make money without a farm. When I opened it, my balance went to 600m to 3.9b.

Jacob also exists.

The problem isn't how many people are using them, it's that it brings so much money into the economy that it makes it impossible to be even remotely rich without multiple alts.

Yeah so instead of getting rid of spawners change the alt rules
