In-game stock market

[Vanden]

I think it might be kinda neat if there was an in-game stock market where players could drop a bunch of inf, just for fun.

I don't get the appeal, but whatever. Make it so that players can just dump inf' into it and not get anything out of it, and fine. Otherwise, work the AH.

A stock market would require multiple in-game entities that have value that would go up or down depending on.... what???  And what would those in-game entities be? 

 

You want to invest in Crey Industries or Cage Consortium or maybe Total Praetorian News?  And how would one get a return on investment or suffer a loss?  The more supers they defeat the more Inf you get / the more of them we defeat the less inf we get?  Seems rather defeatist and not worth it to me.  

 

I really see no practical implementation of this idea.

Hmm... I wonder how difficult it would be to implement an in-game lottery - you buy tickets for some amount of inf, and every week there's a drawing - the winner gets like 90% of that inf, and the rest goes "poof" as a way of removing some inf from the market...
