    Ditto market is oversatured, STOP!

    I know that in a free market, people optimize their strategies to gather as many goods as possible and sell them as expensive as possible but always beneath the highest price in order to attract customers to your merchandise.

     

    Now, what happens when such a commodity becomes so common, the prices go down so quickly, you end up paying for people to buy your products? Nonsense. It's bankruptcy for everybody.

     

    If you take into consideration that an ultra ball costs $1200 and the market fee costs $1000, the margin for a profitable ditto is $2201, or $2200 if you want to get your investment back without a profit. Even if you catch dittos the hard way with a standard Pokeball, $1200 is the point where you get tie. Anything below that price is a loss for everybody, no exceptions.

     

    Well, I've seen dittos below $1000, $900, and even $800. Are you people crazy? You literally pay $200 for someone to accept your ditto. Is this some kind of trolling they do in order to mess up the market? I know that a virtual world is not the same as a real commodity that must be manufactured, raised or built, and it's only a matter of time before you've farmed 200 dittos that you randomly encounter in Hoenn. But, what's the point of doing so?

     

    We, as a community, should set a minimal standard to prevent the server economy from crashing. Even though I know that's not possible to control.

     

    Thanks in advance for your answers. I'm eager to read them.

    you don't need to buy the bad dittos you know..

    I came to apologize for everything I've done.

     

    The truth is...

     

    Here's an overview of myself: school was never of any interest to me. I never really studied in high school or in college - 4 year university. I got by with minimal work and with the help of classmates. I even landed an above average paying corporate job. But I'm even slacking at work and can't get myself to work hard.

    I never have motivation to do anything even though I have the opportunity to do anything I want. I want to be knowledgable, I want to learn, but I just can't get myself to do for some reason. I'm only 30 but I already feel behind in life compared to others my age.

    My dad also makes well into the 6 figures running his own businesses and I feel like I won't be able to be as successful or better than him, especially since I have much better opportunities than he had growing up.

    And then there is James, my friend who's way more succesful in life than me. Everything he does works out for him, whether it's stocks or gambling. I've always hated James, not that much that I'd want to kill him, but yes, I do hate him quite a lot, regardless of that.

    In 28 years of my existence, I really don't have any important accomplishments, but I want to change. I want to succeed.

    I know PokeMMO is full of intelligent, motivated, hard working individuals, and I would love some advice to get myself on track! I want to be an entrepreneur and I love technology, but I definitely don't have deep knowledge of either or anything else for that matter. I would love some guidance from others. Thanks!

     

    Hope you can forgive me, and no, this is no troll post.

    Which pokemon do you think is overrated?

    Overrated in what sense?

    From a competitive standpoint i can't think of any pokemon that is praised more than it deserves, at least here on pokemmo.
    The tracts that make a pokemon strong and relevant are usually pretty obvious and the very essence of competitive pokemon is using what ups your chances of winning rather than what you consider cool.
    Maybe some pokemon could be wrongly considered extremely good after drastic changes in a meta for a short spawn of time because of what they were able to do before those changes.
    Pokemon in general are more likely to be underrated if anything.

    Then of course there are basic ahestetic formulas such as dragonlike which will get kids hyped no matter what, but that's to be expected.
    I don't think a pokemon can be overrated in that sense.


    Try not to overthink it.
