Look here if ur loosing badly (Not Whiny)

I'm surprised that some of you old timers were not aware that Marco had made this statement about income from decay before. I'm new and I know I had read this same direct statement several months ago...probably over at Entropia Pioneers.

so Marco, does this mean that these people who are bidding 25k ped + on these amethera land areas are adding money back into the system for loots or does MA take all or some of this as part of business profit stream?

If it is indeed true that realestate sales gets pumped backinto the economy i would like to thank in advance people like Hunter Z for making possable that i and others might get a very nice ATH

On the other hand this info makes things interesting as to the additional variables of the loot pool. more tings to speculat on and find ways to test and observe.

we should really know if using blades is pure drain of the economy ?

I mean what's more to say in regards to this? Isn't it clear ...

its not clear if decay on melee weapons is pure MA profit ? if it is then its a major contributor to bad loots as the decay contributes nothing to loot but still takes a big part of the pot

I don't understand you to be honest. What is unclear with melee weapons?

Assuming Marco's statement is correct, and why should we doubt it now that he's posted it loud and clear in this thread, of course they are pure MA profit.

They have decay, which goes to MA.
They don't use ammo, no contribution to loot.

Crystal clear situation in my point of view ...
