Down with the Economy!
...or how do the new prices affect you? What do you think of it and why?
While the changes in the monthly shop not coming before September 1st, everything else is going up in prices so fast it is about to get me broke (I was never a millionaire to begin with).
I may have to seriously change my playing style, which I do not really want to do, but with the lack of money I will probably be forced to not decorate my dogs the way I like anymore (which is half the fun) or start breeding dogs for retirement money alone, which is actually very time consuming and I do not have much time lately.
It does begin to feel those of us who can afford to do so (which I currently can't but still did lol) are pushed a bit too much to buy bones which makes money going down in value even more.
On the other hand, Robyn says only a few of us actually buy enough bones to support the server costs, and that some way too rich people bought monthly items for Ala cash from the shop to sell for a lot less bones than in the shop to make themselves some (albeit expensive) bones from their money. Which meant Ala likely got less bones than it would have otherwise.

Well the new prices have me hoarding my money, not spending it. I'll spend it on a new pit bull puppy and curing illness, entering trials. I haven't been buying accessories and might not next month. I don't need them THAT bad.<br /> <br /> I can say one thing, ever since Robyn started 'fixing' the economy the price of bones is climbing and climbing. Where before she said anything about the economy and made any changes bones were going for a lovely 28k to a painful 40k. Now? I'm lucky if I can find a bone for 35k! As of this moment they're 35k to 45k in the AH. Lets hope monthly shop prices aren't tweaked again to match that. >_><br /> <br /> Bah. Won't be buying bones from the AH either then. Only thing keeping me tied to Alacrity right now is the fact that my account is a forever upgrade.

Other than the added Cash Boutique and what has been said will become of the Monthly shop i see very little change to prices. You can still buy BGs and accessory items in the The Scenic Route, Hardcore Pups & Decore Galore for a very reasonable price IMO.<br /> <br /> The Monthly shop and Cash Boutique are luxury items and their prices are meant to be high. NOTHING in those shops are a requirement to playing the game. I actually spend very little money/bones playing this game and because of it have collected a good amount of money for when I do want to splurge. I even on occasion place bones up for auction for less than what most people charge.
