The recent changes to the flea market fees have made making money significantly harder and I’ve been broke ever since. I’m a pretty casual player that doesn’t have a fully decked out hideout with a bitcoin farm and scav case and all that. I typically make my money by doing scav runs and selling what little I find on the flea market and its worked out fine until recently. Fees are through the roof on all items and more than the list price in some cases. It’s really depressing to find a rare item and only get half or less of what you list it for. I’m now having to do 2-3 scav runs in order to make what I used to in 1.
I understand the RMT problems are real but I feel like BSG has gone overboard with some of these changes and it’s making this game a lot less enjoyable for players like myself.
I’m not sure what the solution is to countering RMT effectively but I don’t believe changes that hurts your player base more than it helps is the answer.
