I wouldn't say they're "hoarding CP" so much as using it for Double Day events. Those I've seen making the requests for "cheap CP" are usually the ones that put out extravagant bomb floors. If anything has driven up the price, it's when the double day event began, because in the game's infancy, there weren't parties every half hour, or at least they weren't heavily advertised as they are today.

That being said, perhaps what would be more prudent is an "open poll" of sorts that asks each respondent to state how many chips that one CP is worth to them.

Sorry Noire, hope that didn't sound like I was aiming at anyone in particular as I know some are needing CP for repairs but I do think there are some that want it cheap and are hoarding that cheap CP they ask for. I could be wrong there also but I just don't think putting CP costs up is the answer. This game has become BRPG BombingRPG and I do agree that this has destroyed the game somewhat.

Kooky’s comment applies to me as I ask to buy 999 cp daily & I hear similar sentiments frequently. I have 180 casinos I have built or bought since Dec 2014. I have worked hard on my “Empire” and put in the time doing it. My casinos pay for themselves: My current income stands at 9.2m/hr (see leaderboard). I use the CP I purchase on the Player Market toward my casinos - I do NOT hoard. My CP repair expense is ~ 350-400/day so I use the majority of my profits on MAINTENANCE.



I also buy CP from the Goldfire Store. I would probably throw up if I totaled what I have spent in the last 8 years. I have been ridiculed by many players for using my credit card on a free game… but there would NOT be a game if some players didn’t pay in. I can’t afford to buy as I once did though I still do some - so MUST rely on the Market.|



There aren’t the listings there used to be for CP - page after page - because people are using their CP for bombs to level… not in service of casinos as they were originally designed for. Many long time players quietly drop out because they simply _cannot_ build up/play here any longer under the current scenario. Other players have been here for years and have few casinos - they would rather play poker or games while socializing. They rarely spend CP so it adds up over time. I know of a few that have 80-100k CP banked. They are NOT hoarding either. They earned it!

Totally disagree with this, it just keeps rising and I know players are hoarding the CP just waiting for the rise to happen. People need to sell the CP they are hoarding and that may help the CP market but really its the players that have the power to make the market exist again. I have played a long time and know of players who boast, he who owns the CP, owns the game, so I guess no market and credit cards at ready Why do we see same players ask for 999cp every day? cos they are hoarding lol so maybe we should all do that. I reckon if James could allow bombs to cost 5M chips each we would soon see an improvement of the market.

P.S This is coming from someone who owns not a lot of CP or chips, I am building a casino empire SLOWLY so I can afford to maybe make bigger purchases in future but it has been slow even though I do pay real money on occasion I have found it very difficult so pushing that CP cost higher is going to be bad for new players and those of us that have a tight budget.
