Obviously the demand for IGG in PW is high... but that does not mean the demand for IGG is high on JSP. I don't care if its hard to get... there's just not enough people on these forums who are interested in this game and consequently this lowers the value of your IGG compared to FG. You might have a lot of gold that is extremely hard to get.. but if the game sucks... then your gold is completely worthless.
Gluck with your coins and your econ 101. But don't fool yourself.
Oh and fkJSP. Just because he quit does not make his gold "exclusive". He can overprice as high as he wants, but it is not worth anywhere NEAR what he's asking. about 1/2 of that actually.
if you play perfect world, you will buy this at merely 150ish fg per mil.
i emphasize again, fg is cheap, it can be obtained from d2 botting(free), poker(easy), and almost any service you offer can get you fg. PWI coins are hard to obtain and it is an absolute necessity because thats how the game was designed, of course if no one wants PWI coins it'd be worth nothing, you're pointing out the obvious.
PWI is probably one of the better F2P mmorpgs out there, and people who play will notice how important coins are; only high end players with mass connections and a lot of free time can access good amount of coins, intermediate and newbs will have a hard as fuck time trying to get it, and they will go for a quicker route like buying coins with fg. (do a search and see how expensive it is off those gold selling websites).
my conclusion: fg is cheap, and as long as the game is alive, people will spend to be competitive in the game.
