MCM Virtual Currency

[Layton]

Virtual Currency:

How To obtain it:

every user starts with $250 currency everytime you make a thread ect you get an additional $1
ect idk there would be better ways to handle it


there would be a section were people trade and sell things for this currency ect

its for people with less money but still want to buy stuff also you can buy currency with irl money



(Just a idea don't hate)

And I'm assuming, unlike the other suggestions, you're suggesting that people not be able to cash this virtual currency out for real life cash?

That removes some problems, but also drastically decreases the appeal.

So people would end up selling their services for mcm in-forum currency rather than actual money they can spend outside mcm?

I would assume so, could also be made so users can buy some for a small amount of money. (Could be called something like MCMicros)

Possibly 25-50 of this currency is $1.
So it's not too OP.

If it can only be used internally on MCM, then it has very little value, since there isnt really anything you can do with it, other than trade with other MCM users. Which most wont want to sell their services for a currency they can only spend here, when they could sell their services for real money that could be used for anything. Some might, most wont. Most people who sell things here, and here to make money.

everytime you make a thread ect you get an additional $1
ect

People would post farm using just about anything as a reason to create a thread. When they really didnt need to. Only way would really be with reactions, since post farming doesnt tend to get people many of them. Reactions are usually given based on the quality of a post.

MC-Market isnt leaked forums. People are here for diffrent reasons.

The reason why MCM can never have any sort of onsite currency is because no one would use it unless it had some sort of real world value. We can't make it have real world value due to the chargebacks that would happen. A virtual currency for MCM won't be happening any time soon.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.

If each thread you made gave you one credit/coin, and they could be cashed out for 25 credits per dollar, MCM would have paid $8,000 USD for people making posts, which is ridiculous and not necessary at all.
