@meki98 are you guys reading the new posts? I already replied.
If you don’t want to buy/bid, don’t. It’s really simple.
Yeah it’s simple, just content you can never have that is locked behind another paywall, just like event vehicles, just like battlepass vehicles, just like premium vehicles, just like warbond vehicles, the list goes on and on.
Then make GJN skins FOR SALE at fixed prices. That way you can chose to spend money on a thing, know exactly how much that thing is worth and make your choice. Simple retail transactions similar to purchasing a premium, premium time, etc. No shadowy stuff, no uncertainty, everyone is happy and clear about what they are and are not getting.
This is totally the wrong way to go about it - hence the negative reaction.

You completely ignored my point about the marketplace pumpers. Please, offer another idea to bleed them of GJN.
Do you guys all like the prices on the marketplace? You do realize that the people doing that are only ever going to accumulate more GJN, and will never run out at this point. Something has to be done. No one is forcing you to participate in the auctions. Common, use some common sense here.
I have not seen any reasonable posts in here, just name calling and hyperbole. It wont change anything if everyone is just screaming into the sky.
I also think the marketplace is a daft idea - but replacing it or supplanting it with another bad idea isn’t going to help is it?

Except if anything these bids will just create more GJN from new buyers. Then people who already have GJN will keep it if they lose and the people who win will just make a profit from selling it again if they’re that motivated to be whales

and the auction are just making it worse because they can actually make those dudes richer by proving coupons which can be sold for even higher prices
billionaires exist in our current economy and they don’t lose it just becouse there is more expensive stuff to buy

Ok, then try and think of ways to actually bleed GJN out of the market.
Well, I don’t really have a strong opinion one way or the other on the market. I missed a lot of vehicles over the years, and I appreciate having the option to pick some of them up now. However, I am not happy with the prices on the market, most are vastly inflated due to coupon flippers.
New/different ideas are great, but like I keep saying, simply complaining and name calling isn’t going to solve anything.
EDIT:
Tax the rich lol? Maybe the cut needs to be increased on the market? And/or maybe make the tax higher for resellers? Idk.
I understand that everyone is angry, but still: how is this auction thing worse than the boxes/cases we already have, which, in opposite of the auction system, IS actually a literal gambling? I believe you might all be a little overreacting. Most of the player base wont be using this new system, just like they don’t use the Gaijin market. No offense to anyone.

(Fwiw to everyone reading my other comments, I will not be putting a single GJN into the auction system. Even as I argue that I don’t think it is horrible.)
just make the stuff on the market easily accessible in form of coupons and the price comes down naturally
ingame events challenges what ever

Which is why I say they should offer stuff for GJN at fixed prices.
If I were Gaijin I’d offer stuff like the E-100, IS-7, etc. at usual premium prices via their store. Just sold as bog-standard unique vehicles, no premium, just unique items you can pick up if you really want them.
They’d sell by the absolute bucketload. That would bring the coupon prices down to sensible levels while still allowing people to buy/sell at semi-reasonable rates on the market.
Financially it would also make more sense. How many sales of IS-7s are transacted at current prices? Not many. In 24 hours Gaijin would easily sell many times more if it was a retail item. Rather than a bastardised auction/raffle/lottery.

or this so easy and good
I hit like on the post, and “good” on the poll because I want to see more GJN bled from the marketplace. I would love to see more/new/better ideas on how to accomplish that. If nothing changes, the prices on the market are going to go hyperbolic. It is already happening, and the curve has been accelerating big time over the last year or two.
read the posts above please
the more you buy the more you save does not help anyone
Very, very, very few. Even over the course of a year. I look at the number of sales every once in a while. Once coupons go over $200-$300 ish, sales slow down to maybe a handful a month. Over $500 and it’s barely 1 a month, if even that. Even during the SL crate events, the sales barely double, even as the prices fall. Most sales are from pre existing buy offers from before the crate event starts (because people getting new coupons from SL crates instant sell them on the market, triggering the existing buy offers.)

So - Gaijin have to sell, what - less than 10x of them at high-tier premium prices and they’re already earning more from the product…

then just sell an unlimited number of them for 80 or 100 dollars
guess how many 200 plus sells they will do
they will have to sell at 79 or 99 dollars if they want to sell them at all

The whole ‘selling a thing for a fixed price’ has been keeping shopkeepers going for the past 7,000 years.
It’s only post-2000 video games companies that have yet to learn that it is an actual thing.
