Has any ever gone to a local flea market thinking, "Boy I am sure glad all this stuff is used and 10 times as much as a brand new item in the store." Flea Markets are designed with the idea that you will possibly find rare and important items that you cant get elsewhere. Doesn't even mean its overly pricey
Can i suggest that Battlestate please stop letting people buy directly from the traders and flea market those items? And on top of that, why do traders prices go up based on the flea market? No reason that after i sludge my way to 40 and get traders to max, I am punished with paying 10$ a bullet. Let people buy more ammo and items while removing the ability to resell on the market for these asinine prices and the game will make itself so much better.
Flea Market should be for only in raid looted items that you cant buy otherwise. May i suggest adding a blue check market to am item found in raid making it able to resell on the market, similar to the yellow check mark signaling its a quest item? That would keep the quest flow the same for those who want to buy items to complete quests but maintaining the overall ability to gear up with something other than garbage, cheap gear.
EFT is supposed to be a survival game but really the only thing you are surviving is the fight with staying liquid. Game has really become Escape from Greed. Those who play MUCH more and have the ability to amass 100mil rub and buy whatever they want regardless of the market price and those daily casual players who fight to complete tasks but cant afford to buy a bullet.
Lastly – Gamma Case. i know people will REEEEE over this but i think the event that locked the ability to put stuff in the gamma case and only take out items was a healthy move. Know what i didnt see that couple of days? Hatchlings with nothing to lose. Gamma works well as a secure storage for those items you want to bring with you and NOT lose on death. Keys, ammo, meds, etc…
