>>28050504Fair enough, but I think the dividends are actually a symptom, not the
main problem
the forced $64k cap/$1k average is a problem in its own rightI think the underlying problem is with coin price distribution. 46 of the 66 in game coins are at or below the average price - and all within less than one standard deviation. I am trying to be "fair" and deliberately excluding the 6 coins that are within striking distance of the average - still under $30,000.
Funds still inherently rely on the coins in order to function, and I argue they make things feel more samey, not less. You just get to do samey things faster and more efficiently. Had the nerfed volatility and 50x multi-buy with a flat 10% tax been implemented for players instead I think it would've had the same effect.
Sure, there's a
very minor added dimension of added depth from funds being able to trade quicker and from having your shares increase in price, and arguably even moreso from the collective "PvE" feeling you get from being a member in a fund that isn't your own
or a "fun"/shitpost fund like mogu's or Applause'sBut can you see any reason to ever sell shares? Beyond wanting out from a mismanaged fund or needing liquid to defend a crowd?
or petty drama?No.
It's superficially added some depth to the game, it didn't fix any mechanics, just distract from them.
