" XP Vrs Credits "

Ask any architech what do they want or need. They will say XP.

What does an architech really need money for other than to pay maintance on his harvesters right. Well if we need money for our harvesters we can run 1 hour of town to town delivary Missons. So I ask again what do we need money for. Well again harvesters. Why do we need harvesters so we can make more Resorses quicker than sampling our selfs. Why do we need Resorses. To make things that give us XP. Thats right we make things Not to sell for credits ( selling for credits is just a bonus...Right ). We wanna make bigger and better things. But why. I become an architech to make money. The problem is how can you compet in a world when architechs dont need money but quick cash instead. What is out there for a architech to buy that we can't make. Why do architechs need money. We really dont. What do architechs need. We need XP.

So what happends to the market then.

Well I need quick cash to get resorses dang I dont want to spend 30 mins to run dilvary missions so you know what I will sell a house for 6k ( takes me 20 mins to make 6k running missions) to pay my harvesters really quick so I can get more resorses to make more stuff to get MORE XP. Thats what its all about is XP.

Is this the DEVS fualt , Yes and no. They did a great job on making the archtech char fun to play I am having a blast. What they did wrong was Make PA halls a MASTER ARCH item. So what that did was forces every PA in the world to Power lev there architechs to MASTER ARCHITECH so that they could get a PA hall .

Who is really to blame. The people who think giving away stuff like a factory for 20k or a small house for 6k. Why becuse that means they just set the prices on houses for everyone. 14k for a small house and 45k for a factory is nothing. It takes a lot of time to build these and gather lots of the resorses for these unless you are a PA who has 20 guys running around macroing and throwing up harvesters. If you need quick cash just run a couple of delvary missions why you spam selling houses people will buy them for 15k or 12k thats not that much money. Just becuse you dont care about credits and just xp is not a resone to make everyone eless life harder.

Here is how I would fix this. If we just all would agree to sell buildings @ 4 credits per unit to build then we can all make our money, you will still sell more houses and factorys than you can build. Now if you say hey if we all do that then why will people come ot me to buy stuff. Well you know what you can make furniture to for them , talk to them , let them know there options with hosues and what the disadvanges and advanges are. Let them know what you will be making soon and let them know when they are ready to come back to you. Maybe say hey if you bring me back the deed to your small house I will give you a 3000 Credits back to the cost of your new house. What every you have to do. Just dont drop the price of the hosues to where you can run 30 mins to 45 mins worth of delvay missiosn to buy a house.

Alot of us have put in a lot of hard work to become architechs and we would like to be rewarded for our hard work with more than XP.

++++THIS IS NOT A RANT OR ME COMPLAINING this is just giving people some things to think about. You dont need to give away stuff. People need what we sell and if everyone sticks together we all will make our money and exp.

PLEASE DO NOT POST A REPLY TO THIS IF YOUR GOING TO BE RUDE. If you want to post the other side of the topic please do just dont be rude. Thanks and hope this leads to a good discussion

Your ideas are good, but people will not listen, I have been fighting this up hill battle since release, it seems the best thing to do is just get large houses and medium houses, they seem to retain value in the market.
