| I think having some way to balance it a little bit might make sense. But you don't want to have disincentive to grow (the American Republican in me is coming out!!).
I think the bigger reason new players struggle is because the game is hard. The established players not only have established operations, income and assets, but they know how to play. I know someone who just started on Mary a month ago, has put no money into the game and has won no tenders and he’s in the top 80 retailers already because he knows how to handle qualification and he knows how to do market research (and I’m guessing he's really smart). Without a veteran players help, most new players are doomed due to the knowledge issue. G  |

You should read the beginner guides. I've never had help, nor restart and doing quite alright now. Its true that I spend some real money, but rather stupidly, actually. I've been buying stuff for my office and transform it into virt money at first. Yeah, I know, I know. Im impatient and don't think about spending in the beginning, just want to figure out what things do and then start thinking. Enough about that, you should understand that you'll grow exponentially. So, don't look at the big fishes as if it's normal, but like theirs Gods. 
Because you will be doing business with the big guys mostly, logically, you expect you should be there too. Thats a good drive, but don't hurry it. I was very happy to make a million after two weeks of playing and struggling, now I make close to a billion revenue per turn. Let is grow. Im still a small company, but I grow and thats tyhe way you should play the game. Don't get frustrated of envy because of the big players, but focus on making profit. Profit is always possible to make. For starters, begin with shops. For example, do as followed: Start a shop in The Hague: Caps from Jimf AG q47.75 buy for +/- 237.00$ , sell for 437$ Bags from Sckrinich Industries q24.94 buy for +/-1 000.00$, sell for 2500$ Football shirts TheTycoonProduction q24.18 buy for +/-1 500.00$, sell for 1800$ Umbrella from schneicatalysts q21.95 buy for +/-460.00$, sell for $650 etc. But Im not here to do your homework. It's profit and it might not be much at the beginning, but it will come. my first shop made me a few bugs in the beginning and now makes me: Profit 72 105 499.73$ ; 52 218 463.58$ ; 39 963 238.50$ ; 78 024 348.50$ Don't complain, just make the gain. Good luck! |

@Vipero : I'm not a beginner...I have been in virto for ~4yrs almost now..I'm older (in the game) than many of you guys here. Was amongst the top 50 companies in terms of assets and also in terms of turnover. At that point, I was the "pro" and people would sometimes come to ask for my help . But I left playing for almost a year (I thought $250b+ cash would be enough to not pay attention for a pretty long time, I guess I was wrong). And went bankrupt, so restarted about a month ago. Currently got ~20m+ assets and more revenue than you(in lien, I've only played lien regularly.)
So I'm not a beginner...But I get to replay the "beginner level" now...And companies which were once less than 1/1,000 my size are now wealthier than me(cuz of the restart), which is kind of depressing, people I once messed with can get back at me now lol...But I'm doing good right now, every update I gain about ~30% in assets, though running really low on cash... Some of the older players from 2011+ on lien might remember me.... |

Good idea, but don't think the problem will be solved this way. This is precisely what I wanted to say. During my glory days, I used to make alot of bedclothes (one of the top producers). And it used to cost me ~$30-35/unit and I used to sell for in thousand(s). Then I even started warehousing to buyout all the competition. So infact I was selling at retail prices from my factories and warehouses. At that time I had a fully vertically integrated bedclothes production. Had about 5-6 sheeps farms, 3-4 weaving mills and 4-5 bedclothes factories plus in technology research for these three, I was sometimes the first to get to the highest tech levels. And then I used to look at my order list and see where the buyers had stores, check prices and make my own stores there and slowly get into retailing it myself. I did that trick with many products, just produce a rare good quality product, then put it up for sale. See who buys it and where he's selling it at and then open up stores there and start branding. I don't know if there's other people who do or did that thing...But it was kinda unfair. Then there's that warehousing technique. Get up early or stay awake late night (depending on timezone) to match game update break and be the first one to get into the game after the update, you often find really cheap products on the market including machinery/sheep and stuff in general. Buy all this and then sell for huge profit. I guess sometimes it was probably just a keyboard mistake where they forgot that extra zero or something lol...But I made a lot of money off that lolz ( still doing that , bought some coal mills which I think he meant to sell at 750,000 , but accidentally put on sale for 75,000 lolz) |

| I do, faiez, on mary. And I will supply it for a long time - hopefully virto-decades.
Edit: I also offer technologies and reasonably priced licenses for all the car related industries. I will add new technologies as they are invented.  |

@faiez I don't understand your complaining...You started this thread saying it's too difficult for beginners and secondly you say you are doing great.  |

@faiez I don't understand your complaining...You started this thread saying it's too difficult for beginners and secondly you say you are doing great. I'm not a brand new beginner. I'm just talking about those who just started out...I've played this game for almost 4yrs. you should read my post again... |

| If a 'real' beginner wants to complain, they should read my post and do as such. You are the example of my point. If you know how to play it doesn't matter if you are a beginner, you'll still make a gain, as you proved. So why would other beginners get an advantage if none is needed?
ok, this can become an endless discussion. So, I won't react anymore. |
