And they're getting away with it because new people don't know what sweat is worth - no one tells them. They're desparate to get their hands on a gun and go out and start blasting things, so they'll take the first offer than comes along - fueling the sweat-resell market.

If you want the price (the value) of sweat to rise, stop feeding the resellers.

Just like the Big Oil industry has cut back their production of gasoline (petrol to you EU folks) to sustain their grossly over-inflated prices, Entropia's sweaters can do the exact same.

Simply say "No" to .30-.49
If .55 is what you want, then don't sell for less.
If .60 is what you want, then don't sell for less.

You've got the product, it's up to you to get a "fair" price for it.

But it takes more than just a few people to control the price situation.
It takes even less to drag the price down.

Assuming that MA enables free sweat trade between EU China and the First/Second Wave EU, at first blush a Chinese laborer could significantly supplement his/her working wage by gathering vibrant sweat. Admittedly, that is of no benefit until after earning enough PEDs to withdraw. Still, it is entirely conceivable that parents will have their children working as sweat gatherers.

I wholly expect Chinese families and businesses to flood and saturate the EU market with vibrant sweat when EU China comes online. That should drive down market rates for vibrant sweat because the vibrant sweat supply will far outstrip the force nexus supply. Unless MindArk rebalances force nexus claims and introduces new incentives to burn Mind Essence, or incorporates vibrant sweat into new blueprints, all sweat gatherers will compete to sell their sweat at lower and lower rates. We might see rates even as low as 4 PECs per 100 bottles.
Thats something i don't expect much.
How many of them can aquire good computer ?
How many of them can aquire (good) internet connection ?
How many, and what social and economical group of ppl are they ?


Those aren't people who working hard labor in factories for minimal wage my friend.(those who are, won't have time for experimenting in virtual universe)

I very doubt that those people will be interesed in sweating hard labor in virtual universe either. If they will enter, more likely it will result in rising number of Mind Esence end users, than sweaters. Which could mean....

-----------
And i don't think sweat is still dropping. To me seems as very stable.
If someone worked hard, sweated 10k of sweat and then sells for 0.3 - 0.4, their problem(if they are aware of sweat prices)
...they won't last too long anyway, gives better chances to the rest once they are gone.

- other than teleporting ME is used by some lunatics who want to skill MindForce. These lunatics usually skill at the sweat camps, with heal and focus. So the newbs are healed and focused for nothing, but them would still want that their benefactors to pay more and more.

Pretty much that's it
Well reasoned and proud to be a "lunatic" occasionally
