CS to replace T as Super value basis?

Well, it's being discussed over PM and it's looking very likely this change is going to happen.

Great news

Oo. I don't like the idea of ACS though. Would be very confusing.

I don't like the idea of having 'ACS' it would over complicate things in my opinion.

I think it's a great idea with thrones being so unstable atm

well i think it should, the throne price is variable so supers shouldn't use it as currency but we should use the cs seeing as it is the common price everything is compared to

[ColyTom]

yes, i believe there are values sites based around CA & USA use the CS as their value.

i think you should as it's a stable value and won't move.


another idea is that you could use both.
for example put the value in CS and Throne

120 CS = 3T

Yeah, that would be better.

[Yum999]

Trading 1,600 CS could take a very long time.

Sorry if I'm being thick, but why not price them in both? (edit - this idea already mentioned)

It's a bit like in the supermarkets in France. They price things in both Euros and Francs, even though they don't use Francs anymore.

If we decide to standard use a value in hcs for supers, I think the example below is a good way to do it, so that it will look something like this.

Gold Amber - 100 CS (2.2 T)

In order to do this we need to find somebody who can adept our rare values script so that every time the value of a Throne is edited, it recalculates the value for all super rares.

But I am wondering if there is any point. First of all I wonder if it has ever happened that the value of a super rare changed just because the value of a throne changed? For example, if the White Monolith is worth 7 thrones before, and the throne value changes from 45 to 46 hcs, does the White Monolith value actually change to 6.8T, or will it just stay at 7 T (and hence become worth a bit more, but still having the same throne value). If it will stay at 7 T I dont see any problem with our current system.

For example, the value of the american dollar changes all the time, but that doesn't mean that when you buy a bread in the USA, it would be better to put the value in euro or whatever. If the bread is always worth 0.50$ no matter if the value of the dollar changes, there is no need to use a different currency for the bread (even though technically the bread becomes worth less as the dollar goes down all the time). It is simply convenient to use the $ value as that is what the people that buy (trade) breads in the USA use.

Secondly I think that the super rare values should be shown in a way that is most convenient to the people that actually trade them often. No offence to everybody that replies, but I think it is most important what the "big traders" think about this, and from what I can tell they say that since the supers are traded in thrones the value should just stay in thrones (in other words I don't think in this case we should listen to the majority vote, but more to the vote of the small group that regularly trades super rares).

As I was going to close this thread off.
I came up with an idea.

I don't know if it's possible, but how about making some sort of php script on the page that gets the *current* Throne value from the Normal Rares page and where the php script is, have like:

45cs (1t)
90cs (2t)

For example, a throne is 45cs, then in the brackets the php script would recognise the 45cs and put 1t.

and then like, if the throne goes down, all you would have to do is leave it.

Throne goes down to 40cs:

45cs(1.2t) - or something like that
90cs(2.4t) - etc.

If that made sense :S
Sort of rushing.

Same as my idea, and i think it should work.
However, finding the script could be a hard job.
