Wheel of time is working negative.

1-> Is L$ loosing value? Yes.
2-> Is it a problem for SL? Yes.
3-> Should LL do something to stop devaluation? Yes.
4-> When should LL do something? NOW. Because people started to talk too much, "LL will do this LL will do that LL must do this LL must not do that bla bla". There is only one thing is more dangerous than devaluation&inflation for economy. It is uncertainity. LL must do something to stop devaluation now or must tell that they wont do anything or must tell what they will/wont do in short term. So we can focus on not the devaluation but to produce new things for SL. I have currently 3 big projects which i suspended because of the uncertainity.

Obsessive Capitalist Disorder is a terrible thing.

So you weren't totally committed to the projects, and as there is now a risk that you won't make such a big profit out of it as you thought, you're shelving them?

Exactly the reason why capitalism is a bad thing. If people can't make a profit from it, they won't do it. Everyone loses out.

I have no idea what your projects might have been, by the way. Were they something that would benefit people generally, or was it just an income?

Lewis

I agree on point 1 and have seen no real proof for 2. So before you go to 3 and 4 please give us your facts and figures on 2. The only thing you're doing now is feeding the uncertainty without offering any valuable information.

Yes, it just sucks that people just won't work for free

Repeating here-> SL is nor a RL job for me i never cashed out from SL. And check my sims, if i bought from auction for 1050 usd, i am selling them at 1070-1090 usd at most(which sometimes pays tier sometimes not) I wont mention sim names here. Many land barons IM ed me to raise prices, because they want to keep land prices high. I wont mention names here.

I never told that capitalism is a good thing. But world works with that way.



My projects are themed sims,
1-> Candy Land, a private sim which is made from chocolate rivers, candy stores, icecream terrain
2-> Paris 1673, has been working for 3 months on it with a professional artist, using old paintings of Paris.
3-> London 1781,
has been working for 3 months on it with a professional artist, using old paintings of London.
Are they something that would benefit people generally? I dont know, but i will do them as soon as i decide, the rental fees for the sims can pay for the money i paid to the builders and sims. And i dont care if would benefit people generally, because i will be proud of these sims.
And it is really boring to answer you because you are discussing like a primary school child. I promised myself to not answer you again, but i had to do it again:/ I hope i will never again have to.

Read previous topics and posts, i sent alotof data about economics and alotof proof why it will/is damag(ing)es to SL, u agree or not.

Even more dangerous: cocking it up entirely by rushing into making changes without a good understanding of the long term result.

"Every complex problem has a simple solution... and its wrong" - my favourite quote from school.

There have been recent posts and comments from Lindens (including this months newsletter) that

- due to growth in member numbers, stipends are very much required to ensure there is enough money to go round
- Lindens *are* considering ways to reduce the amount of L$ entering circulation
- Lindens *are* planning to reduce amount of L$ entering circulation over a period
- Lindens aim to do this *carefully*

Im sure there will be no amount of complaints and heated debate as details emerge, but all the same, I fail to see why it is imperitive for LL to act *NOW*

I checked your posts of the last 2 months. None of them has any proof that there is an issue with the SL economy. You give figures a few times but there's no proof in them. Look at this one:
/130/87/94891/1.html#post945368
and then this one:
/130/ae/96597/1.html#post959847

See how your analysis changes? Imagine you'd cut of on 27th of March. Available stock over 250 would be down but rate would be up. Note that those numbers aren't worth analysing anyway as they tell you nothing at all about the health of the SL economy.

Thank you for repeating these valuable data/proof links here.

If you consider that valuable data and proof I suggest you never try real world economics. There's no proof in there it only shows you've no idea what's happening. The best comment you made in there was "I am totally confused", it's one of the few things that is likely to be accurate.

Oh, but people do, otherwise there'd never have been an open source movement.

And anyway, SL isn't a job for most. Yeah, I know some people can't work in RL for whatever reason (if you want to make a living off SL, then be prepared to pay tax on it in both the US and your own country, by the way)...

And anyway, Lewis was commenting on the fact that someone was suspending projects, not on anyone's willingness to work.
