You were talking about TC being bought and sold Ingame via 'Hey, buy my TC threads' while I was talking about Hampus selling TC for players in higher rates. As previously presumed your method of research fails when it comes to a realiable structure of reporting, checking people's transaction history is not enough when you don't actually know everyone who buy/sell TC unless they post a thread about it, people make deals in IRC, Steam, Facebook or whatever, that's why I wouldn't be bothered to make (or even think of) a report based on users selling TC. On the other hand my point is flawed as well because Hampus can't be bothered to check such reports in order to increase or decrease the actual TC value, the only major impact in it would be Items being bought/sold on a different rate and that could be good as well as could be terrible to the economy (see newcomers trying to sell their orc force).
'Top right corner'. As I said, 'people online right now' is not a good way to find out a good number for income measurement, but this seems too difficult for you as well.
"I don't get your critique. Why do you think an estimated based on actual items forum and actual player count number by someone who actually sells TC (at cheap rate, btw, so much buy offers go to me) is worse than NOT estimating numbers to work with?"
Simply because once your rates and researched data is flawed your results will be too, if you don't know how much TC comes in from Steam purchases and goes out in TC selling threads you can be lead to a biased decision about rate/income/amount.
"You talk about income report. See, if you didn't realize. There's no income report to be built, Toribash money circulation is too little for me to care about it. Like I say, it's less than some Joe makes. Not only if Joe's a Google employee, but even if he's your regular junior programmer."
Yes there is, but there are also people who just sits and waits for pennies to come and then brag about it, I don't care how much a junior programmer gets (maybe because in three or four days I'll become a Solutions Engineer), that has nothing to do with Toribash economy at all, thing is I don't thing you're figuring it out anyways because you think that your market skills are perfect based on, I don't know, nothing. So let's settle this:
I give you mere $5 for you to build a full 2013-to-now report, this needs to have
Username
TC amount
TC bought from the Game
TC bought from other Players
TC sold to other Players
TC Spent ingame
One week should be enough for reliable data and about the right coding time
Simple, isn't it? Not it is not, you can't reach such data by only looking at the forums and ingame statistics, maybe if I raise it to $8? Maybe?
That being said I would like to end my interactions in this thread, it looks as dumb as it could ever be. If you or any other member would like to discuss this subject with me feel free to PM (and probably be ignored).
