wildforester Posted July 25, 2025 Report Posted July 25, 2025 (edited) Hi, I'm trying to help a friend (and to an extent myself) understand what the pricing from items should be on servers. All of this is in rusty gears. If anyone would like to take the poll I'd be truly appreciative. Here's the link (it's a google forms link): https://forms.gle/QbTWCi3cjXyBCVmq7 Spoiler In non-hyperlink format if anyone feels uneasy clicking on links from other people. forms.gle/QbTWCi3cjXyBCVmq7 Edited July 25, 2025 by wildforester
Lugh Crow-Slave Posted July 25, 2025 Report Posted July 25, 2025 I have only ever been on one server that tried to use gears as player currency. It doesn't really work and more importantly it's not needed. Most servers are barter, communal, or a combination 1

But rusty gears are the most basic/common currency across VS. anyway this would fit more into
FlareUKCS Posted July 25, 2025 Report Posted July 25, 2025 I am not trying to be difficult here but (oh yeah heres the but) the original title had me thinking MTX...as in a server that made players pay real cash, I know this is not the case but the title immediately made me think that, may be a me thing but I just wanted to let you know this in a friendly manner, as in I know its not MTX level just saying I thought that for a while. May be worth changing the title to reflect this ?
wildforester Posted July 25, 2025 Author Report Posted July 25, 2025 I think the current title is good since in the description I specifically point out rusty gears, but I’ll add it as a tag 1
wildforester Posted July 25, 2025 Author Report Posted July 25, 2025 Anyway, more ppl polling would really help, I’ve only gotten 1 response…

Most people aren't trading with gears so they can't really answer how much they would pay in gears for items.
