Wonson made a good point:
Wonson Why the daily new price, and not the initial price, is the basis of validation of the next day price? I sign a contract to buy something for $100±10%. So the contract should be automatically cancelled if the price exceeds the limits ($90-$110).
This meaning:
10% maximum increase from the initial price
Not 10% maximum increase week on week. This allows for exponential growth.
I think we could have a system which incorporates both, which would allow for organic price appreciation but which is constained within a bigger structure, so a player would not be allowed to abuse the system. I am not sure how this would work.
The good thing is: it already exists: you can set a maximum price in $. You do need to click, however. So, if admin could be so kind to help us out a little and set the $ price limit as default, rather than the 10% increase per day, we'd all be happy, no?
Beware though: contracts you start today might get cancelled in a few months because of normal price increases. Maybe even because the quality of the supplier increased. Everything would just be so much easier if nobody abused the system... But hey, that's game theory: I find this very interesting :-) |
