have you looked into World Shards? It is quite fun to play and has a few of the mecahnics built in. Refining loot to get different items and potions is at the base level of this game. We will see if it goes ponzi or not. I just value my time more than to dlay monsters over and over just to be able to build a furnace in my house…
The loot you find van be traded p2p drop rates are quite low though. No bind for weapons but weapons break and have to be reproduced which needs resources as well.
Did not do any research if and when they plan to drop a currency but it is likely they will.
Thanks for this Hame economy 101 it qas an interesting read!
I have not played it but they are all Ponzis
Mostly because bots are trivially easy to make and AI makes it even easier.
The key is a reputation system that can exponentially mitigate botting (doesn't exist).
Hive is the only network even capable of building a rep system like this.
The only ones that aren't Ponzis are the FPS games where you can't buy an advantage.
And they only use crypto for the skins and stuff.
But I don't like first person shooters.
Yeah I play one of those shooters. Kompete is really good.
I wouldn’t know how to bot World Shards though. The game is Wow style but the levels are super hard to beat.
I'm looking at it right now and it's advertised as "free to play and earn".
I guarantee you it's a Ponzi that will be botted into the ground.
You have to realize that people bot games that aren't even connected to money.
And they find a haphazard 3rd-party to sell the assets.
Not needing that 3rd-party makes it a thousand times easier to exploit.
have not planed to touch it, I just wonder how a bot like that would be programmed and operated. The levels contain varying riddles that have to be solved on the spot. They also do not repeat. But I guess everything can be botted in some way.
I'd have to play it to discuss further.
Maybe I will.
