    Yes but how does the money move?

    Rich people: can afford many runs, get most pinks and they will of course try to get more out of it than they invested (otherways they wouldn't even farm for it)

    The rich would just get richer...

    And maybe some less rich persons would also try their luck to get rich, but that would be a bit like gambling, and if they're unlucky they would be left with big losses.

    Well... the money paid for the runs would leave the game. I didn't say that this would change the distribution of wealth in the game. If someone spent 1 Mill to farm these items and sold them for 2 mill, that means 1 Mill has been removed from circulation. Only another rich player would theoretically be able to afford the item should it be re-sold, so it's not like it's stealing from the poor.

    One Mil has been removed from circulation, but 2 Million has been added.

    Makes 0% sense, imo.

    There is some sence behind it: One mil has been completely taken out of the game. The 2mil come from the wealth of another player.

    I kinda get your point now mixi

    But I think that would raise many issues and complaints. These new items would be something like the toys of all the uber rich who don't mind spending some mil on these items. So... you suppose that a regular player just won't be able to afford the stuff at all? I can see the flamethreads coming...

    I dont think this is an effective way to stop any kind of inflation...

    It actually makes 0 sense to me.
    Explain, please.

    If one guy spends one million on buying the runs, and earns 2 Million from the runs, he makes a profit of 1 Million. 1 Million has been added to the game, instead of removed. I've no idea how this is a gold sink.

    C'mon migo!

    Yes, this particular player has a PROFIT of 2 (selling price) -1(money spent on runs) = 1 mil. But another player has a LOSS of 2 mil (in trade for this Item).
    Therefor there has been 1 mil taken out of the game.

    Still, the system seems impractical to me :P

    It's a loss, but it hasn't been taken out of the game...
    It's still going in-game, to the person who sold the item.
