It is getting frustrating to see the bot turned off as soon as a gold sale and new training center hits the game.. I think this is so sad.. Heck, this is sad to the point where this whole "game" is becoming a big dissapointment that I am having a hard time stomaching. It has such potential to increase the economic module to a great variety of products and making owning companies easier to the point many people would use this as a global economic learning game.. BUT NO!! Instead of amassing more players the ones that remain are getting screwed... 0.0

That's right!
Greedy admins are like a tumor to games like this.
Votato
True. Without the bot, there is massive over-supply, and the only way to sell a finished good (like a tank) is to undercut all competitors. Otherwise, you will sell nothing.
And, there is always a competitor who doesn't have the math right, and is desperate to sell to make payroll for another day.
I guess it's the Admin's way of saying, if you want to make money off of your companies, you need to sell goods at a loss, and keep your imaginary company floating by busting out your credit card, buying gold, and throwing RL money after a system that is stacked against you in-game.
My suggestions?
Short term-- inform your employees that you need to reduce salaries, then do it.
Also, watch like a hawk the RM markets, and buy whatever you can from poor unfortunates who are desperate to sell at any cost.
Long term?
Shut your company down for now. Fire everyone. The result? Massive unemployment, but that's up to the Admin to worry about. If half the people who play the game quit out of massive frustration, well, that's on the Admin's head. Hopefully, Alexis Bonte has other enterprises going, and doesn't depend on this game to support himself in RL.
Bottom line?
We are headed into what is at best a massive dislocation. At worst, the end of the game.
And maybe the worst isn't all that bad. Spring is coming, and I need to run on the beach more, and spend less time on this crappy game.
in other word this game sucks again and somehow we aill all learn to live with it then it will suck a little more and over time we will learn to live with it again then it will suck a little more and eventually we will live with it again..... after repeating this process another 20 or so times we will just be playing a game where there is a picture of a toilet and you have to click a button to toss in game money into it.... O BUT WAIT! to have enough in game money to play and have fun you must also buy it using a credit card! i cant wait!
But admin likes screwing the players and getting them pissed off.... This isn`t much to get upset at admin for... I`ve sadly since much worse things than admin turning off a bot for a few days.
They tried product variation. It's called v2. It failed :/
