That’s why I say we have no problems getting the silver needed for a Token. Now, look on new players or players on lower level ranges :x
Let’s talk about tokens at 5m, can be cheap for us but can be pretty expensive for others.
It’s not bad if it goes up there naturally, means the silver in circulation and offer/demand are pushing it up.
But it is pretty bad if it is forced/monopoly because it pushes a price that only benefits a minority into a majority and new players.

We discussed this more along in the topic, there are more problems than bots/RMT in the token scene. There’s also player monopoly and price control which I didn’t think of when writing the suggestion.
I’ll edit it to add those other scenarios.
1.- I agree, the player still get the silver even if someone is buying 100 tokens all at once. But in this case it is turning into effectively “legal RMT” which hurts more than help while also making it harder for new players to buy Tokens, making it a profit tool that doesn’t even get untradable as most of other things in the economy.
2.- Again, same thing about what we discussed, 3 per account prevents market control by small number of people on Tokens.
3.- I agree, that is you. That’s one healthy way of increasing the price. You can do the same by buying 3 per account, it gets harder because more competition. But things are getting out of control currently, they’re far from this on multiple servers I think, at least in Klaipeda.
4.- There’s no real punishment, 3 Tokens buys per month is pretty fair for Premium purposes. As we also talked in the thread, the monopoly isn’t illegal (also AFK farming is allowed for now) but still hurts other players too much because of bad design of other things.
Which goes exactly into what @unicorntheshiny says. It can have bad effects. I agree with both his posts to some extent.
At least one of the things should be handled.
But on a note, I wonder if it is healthy to turn Token into a “something that people buys to resell instead of using” effectively turning them into legal RMT. It sure gives more money to IMC but not sure if it is healthy in how it is being done currently.
), its because the risk is not worth it, since buy a Token and sell it in game is much more easy and safe, and also, great part of RMT sell silver with a price highter than the price of a Token, so lets say that: when they (RMT) resell Tokens they are harming thenselfs.
Still stand for what I said though (even if off-topic).
