| When you talk about the Slated Hut, you have to think about what it does- that is, what goes in and what comes out. (Which you've done.) Currently the SH buys your platinum, at 6000 apiece if you have it fully upgraded. This functions as a price control: you won't see the market's going below 6000, because instead of selling it for less, one could get a guaranteed 6000 gold for each. Also, any prices below 6000 will quickly be bought out by people with upgraded dwellings. Let's play out your idea. SH income is based on the market. People race to upgrade their SH. Each plat gives 12 hours of income. For any given plat price on the market, you will get (Price x 0.3 x 12) from your SH. That's 3.6 times the price of platinum on the market. So if the market price is 7000, you would be making 25,200 for each, a profit of 18,200. With profits like these, all the reasonably priced platinum on the market would be bought up because there would be a direct profit in the SH. I estimate that you'd see market prices getting higher and higher indefinitely, or until only the richest 25 players could afford it. The bottom of the market would just keep rising, because people would snap it up for quik-'n'-ez short-term profits. You have an interesting concept, though. Maybe it could be some form of speculation- every hour you get 1/12 of the current lowest market price, updated hourly. Or maybe as much as 1/11, to give a little bonus. But definitely not 3/10. |
