I dont do either I just got into these games so I neither lost nor made any fg.

But, my question is based on what Ive understood so far about the game, the rampant inflation was going to kill the game. It is why I decided not to invest anything in it. Atleast by the time I came in which was a couple of months ago.

I dont know why a developer would let something like that go unchecked and not make efforts to fix it unless they were just ready to move onto the next one.


Its clear you're not accustom to these games. When the supply of gold gets too large it the increments of sales just goes up. I remember when gold was still fg/M not fg/B and we're getting into fg/T. The gold didnt "become" worthless, you just failed to keep your income growing fast enough to deal with the change in value.

this one is a bit of a one-off since something so ridiculous was introduced, but as for the others, people progress through the game and get stronger and eventually gain more gold per kill/gain more resources/items/etc. by that, its basic economics where the value of in game currency decreases

It becomes worthless for a new player.

Its like holding a crap ton of crypto shit coin. Youre like an infinite snake eating its own tail. The game itself can continue to rebase into oblivion and the game "works" but its fundamentally broken from an economy stand point.

I am not accustomed to these type of games, but this is a broken economy.

As partank said, its the nature of these games but clearly the tokenomics of cata pretty much drove this into the ground much quicker then even for these games.

Consider the relic investment required to actually boost your cata character. Its damn near impossible for a new player to be able to put in 30-40b worth of relics at these prices and the price of relics at this rate if nothing changes will continue to only increase.
The cata gold rewards being dumped onto the market are practically gate keeping any newer player from ever getting to the promised land of cata.

And not to mention as someone who works in games and plays games a lot, the documentation/tutorialization aspect of this game is so purely terrible. Its almost like the creator doesnt want a newer player to even want to play this game. I dont see why someone would put as much effort and time into a game such as this and not put basic things.

No sense in posting again. These guys defend these shit games like they made them or something LUL.

Imagine spending fg on a browser game. That's actually a kekW

If you can do better make your own idle browser game :) I think your expectations are a tad high given the type of game you're looking at.

I could if I honestly wanted too. Although, I understand Im lacking domain knowledge of the subject matter at hand and not the dev capabilities.

All that said, like I said, Im crazy about games of all kinds and game developers. And as one myself, I cant understand why you would put in the amount of effort that the devs do and leave these games in a half arsed state (this might be the lack of domain knowledge and it might just be a cash grab for them and onto the next one in which case its by design).

I mean clearly its not that they are lacking in dev capabilities of putting in additional popups, tool tips or a easier tutorial to on board newer players.

Just because its a browser game doesnt fundamentally give another person creating the next game a reason to put all the effort into creating something "good" but entirely inaccessible unupdated where no one really knows whats going on and everyone is

just doing their own thing and then for people to say, "oh but thats the allure to these games, to figure them out" and yet, literally 2 months in and Im still almost always finding out something new or controversial opinions on a daily.

I simply cant get behind others defending poor work. Its not like, I am saying this should be a 3D port on the switch or a mobile AAA standard game. Im not expecting the dev to to go out of their way and gain any additional knowledge that they haven't already demonstrated they possess.
