Hello everyone, I've thought of something cool that ATA could add as feature on PIMD. You've probably already guessed it by the title, the stock market. In a way where every players could earn money (or lose). Now, why should we bring this feature? Well, I think it could help balance the economy of the game or what not since there's no longer ways of losing money beside PvP which is sadly less popular/known (since ATA removed the PvP tutorial for new players) and could be cool to have. How would it work? There would be multiple tiers of investment to suit all size players and a maximum of shares ($$) that a player can buy/sell. Every 6 - 12 or 24 hours, ATA would raise, lower or maintain the value of the share. By buying shares, you'll have two options, you could guess that the share value would be going low or go high. Exemple: I Kaname buys 100 shares (1B$ each) of CC Inc. and I choose the option that its value will raise. Has the market holds my 100B$, 6-12-24 hours later ATA raises the value of the share to 2B$. Now my share value would be 200B$ which is a profit of 100B$, you'll have an option to withdraw that 200B$ with a small cut free (10%) or to keep it in the market while praying that the value of the share will raise again in the next update. Using the same example: If I bought shares for a total of 100B$ and the value drops to 500M each, then my hold value would be 50B$ and I would be in the negatives. To maintain stability. Every 7 days, the shares that hasn't been sold would be automatically sold wether it's a profit or not. I'm at work and that's all what I got for this idea so far. If you like this idea or would like to add more suggestions, then feel free to do so!
This sounds really interesting except ata would probably make it so you almost never win, and wouldnt be able to calculate anything and make it completely random unlike the real stock market where I believe you can kinda track how the stock is going and estimate where it will go (could be wrong on how that works idk). I just see it as a way for ata to take away money so more people buy cats to get it back.
You can predict the outcome of a stock by looking at its trend (looking the past few days, if it goes up or down), but it's gambling. I do hope that ATA doesn't rig it in their favour. I think adding the 10-20% to withdraw the earnings is good enough.
Yea i feel like ata would make it completely random so you wouldnt be able to watch it and make a calculated bet, it would be more like throwing money and hoping you get lucky. And this is ata we are talking about lol they would definitely fix it so you get screwed. But if somehow harambe (atas owner, duh) told the developers to make it fair and develop it right. It could be a really cool and fun addition that i would definitely enjoy. But the possibility of that happening is less then .000000001 % chance
The trick would be to wait few days till the value is really low, then buy the shares, but to break that exploit, the fees should be higher.
I like this idea, only if ATA doesn't screw people over by making it go against their favor majority of the time. 5 years ago I suggested a gambling system ( lottery) but that never came through.
Well they're pulling out new features, (Club roles) I think it's time to suggest things while they're still open.
Ata would screw it so bad that people would lose more money then gain of course that's the real market but yea if your good you can kinda guess if it's gonna go up or down
I would put all my $$ into Cat Cafe shares, along with some in Counter Culture shares. They'll skyrocket and make it a rich-grabs-all game even more. Do reasearch on stock market gambling and people who got rich quick from it. Same will happen, No Support.
Please please please don't give these blood sucking apes any ideas about making more money until they return drops to how it used to be, rare drops from parties , start up pack , and start to listen to the players
They could also add newsfeed section. "MAC earned big by investing in the CC inc. lucky goes home with 100B$!" "Kaname lost his college funds by investing in CC inc. making a loss of 200B$. Loans here I come!"
ATA wouldn't make any money with this feature, all they'll gain is virtual money. No EC would be needed to invest unless (Giving idea, am I stupid or what?) they make a Investor Ticket that expires after 7 days and that'll cost few EC, but then it isn't worth it, players are gambling ish with real money!
1. this would be detrimental to PvP, giving players an easy, quick way to hide cash without chance of being stripped (or losing $ as w banking) 2. like others have stated, there would be almost no chance of winning 3. with the amount of effort/coding/money on ATA's part it would take to implement something like this, they'd have to make a significant increase in revenue from it, meaning it would have to cost EC... so nty 4. the 7 day limit makes no sense ? the whole point of the stock market is to be able to invest for indefinite periods of time so you can wait on your stock to go up. "Automatic selling" defeats the entire purpose of stock
You actually would chance losing more money than banking... banking costs 20% but with the stock market you could lose more than that plus the 10-20% ata would take when cashing in... besides if they took 20% there would be no chance it would be cheaper than the bank
