>>23214979Most people would prefer to not spend all their time on the game yes, but that's the point. The more time you spend on the game, the more you should get out of it. Besides, there won't be enough to consume your life. Absolutely not. Stream reps can be done every 6 or so hours, you can do it more frequently if you really want to. There won't be too much trouble on that front. Besides, with the current adjustment time a lot of people will be able to make their plays solely based off Poi
(of course, they will be playing less efficiently than those who find important information immediately). The only other major thing to affect time usage is the increased importance of being present at (and sometimes a little while before) adjustment. While some people will be affected negatively, others will be affected positively. Some players can only have their computer open for so long, whether due to exorbitant electricity bills (hi SEA) or other factors. Think about it, they need to spend less time with their computer open overall, less time adjusting their trades. The much-increased volatility (and thus much-decreased buy/sell timeframe) is a great boon to them. Of course, some people can't be around for the adjustment but unfortunately not everybody can be pleased.
Server-side or mobile support when?After taking a while to think, I feel like the only pressing issues that should be considered over this are server-side trading and the fixing of music channels. These two things should be dealt with first.
>everything will just stabilize/crab in the end, regardless of the changes proposed hereMaybe true, but these changes make that unimportant. The changes allow for you to take greater advantage of a dip/spike. They allow you to move quicker on the leaderboard, they cement the positions that you gain rather than force you to move up and down based on the market's will. The game will be a hell of a lot more engaging if you're given heavily increased control over your wins and losses. If you screw up, you'll fall behind quicker than you would have before. If you succeed well, you'll see the effects immediately and permanently. A brief look at my previous post:
>Of your 18k stack, you will only be able to sell 600 an hour (14400 a day)This is an example of what I'm trying to explain. In the standard model, you'll be able to sell 1440 at best, 8% of your stack. 92% of that stack is subject to the next adjustment's numbers, causing you to have only 8% control of what happens to your stack each adjustment. With the other model you can sell 14400 in a day, allowing you to have 80% control of the stack. It feels much better to be in majority control of your wallet daily, to have greater rewards for your actions.
Mr. Poor having larger % margins has always been the case, yes, but these % margins will be much larger than they are now. He will have even greater successes over the rich than before. As for Mr. Poor catching up to you and having smaller % margins, that becomes an issue of skill and effort. If he is skilled enough and/or puts enough time in, he will pass you. It may take a while, but it will sure as hell be quicker than it currently is.
Again, I can agree with you that the music channel fix is much more urgent. The server-side trader issue too.
I greatly appreciate that you're acting as devil's advocate here, it's far better than not getting any engagement at all. Thank you for your time, and thank you for your thoughts.
