The Game Economy

in General Discussion

I did a rough calculation of the free units I got last year, roughly 50,000+ units. Yes 50+ k units

I did plenty of auto fight in event quest for free units using free energy
I did NOT grind arena for every milestone so those who grind arenas for 6 days a week could get 56 k units just from milestones alone, not counting opening arena crystals

There are MANY players who grind arenas and have stored tonnes of free units in the game
This affects the game economy, even though digital goods are infinite in a game
The game developers are controlling the supply obtained from infinite sources like banquet crystals
Finite sources are like banquet event milestone rewards, unit offers with purchase limits
There are more and more free units in the game chasing after resources in the game

Those who don’t grind arenas have to spend money to keep up with the arena grinding players, that’s the reality
Those who do neither, complains in the forums but it’s the whales who are funding the game so your voice is diminished in the grand scheme of things

It’s really a resource play like the harvesters mining spices in Dune
“Those who control Dune control the spices and those who control the spices control the universe”

    Convert the units obtained from grinding arenas into USD and you will realize that it is less than minimum wage in America

    If you have a side hustle or a freelance gig job, you will earn more than grinding arenas

    Grinding arenas isn't the most efficient use of your time which is the most important resource in your life

    Adding an asterisk to this post
    *isn't the most efficient use of your time if all your doing is playing arena which 99% of people who play arena don't do so therefore there's no point to this

    Some might even say playing video games in general isn't the most efficient use of your time.
    There are livestreamers who play games and are able to monetize from it

    Unfortunately MCOC isn't the most popular of games in livestreaming

    I hired a hit monkey to help me grind arenas
    The cost is quite cheap, just a bunch of bananas everyday

    As I've said before, if I can earn money sitting in my underpants and drinking beer I will, and I will buy units.

    Until that happens I will continue to grind arena.

    No doubt grinding arena is very valuable to players

    There are mobile games that I play that doesn't have the "arenas" for grinding premium currency in game
