Nerve refil- 25 points

Yup, I agree.
That really isn't a half bad idea!
I have one but I don't think it's that good...
Maybe for 25 points you can buy a increase of 500 or 1000 jobs points assuming you have a default job.
Could be useful in a way? |
Job points shouldn't be buyable the same way merits shouldn't be. They need to be earned

Yeah I agree Kyle.
You really think that will work if someone works in a 5* sports team or furniture company and they pay 25 points to get 2500-5000 trains in the gym.

the market is already flooded enough with medical items.
EDIT: although a few seconds after submitting that post i realized how little financial sense that makes. on second thought, i would imagine it's primarily used to increase working stats, which would make educations less of a bonus. alternatively, spies would use it, and aren't they annoying enough already?

maybe if you keep the nerve loss and increase the cost? oh wait, that's what bails are for. you gotta keep the nerve loss. in 24 hours doing nothing but hackings, i could make WAY more than 1.25 mil.

Personally i'd say i'd get a green result on 60-70% of fbi hacks at a rough guess. Given that I'd use at least 20 hours worth of nerve a day that would work out to be 13-14 attempts a day.
Back when i was doing hacks i'd average somewhere around the 300k mark for successful hacks so if you take away the penalty for failing crimes then i'd easily double the money spent on those 25 points with the return from successful hacks.

How it will take out cash? Points are not cash.
Points are really cheap if you collect flowers from abroad and swap them for points.

Common misconception?
Points do not remove cash.
They are points, which are rare and costy.
The small amount of cash it removes is pretty much unexisting, for 20k you get 10 points with flower running and buying the flowers yourself?
It would remove cash if points were to be sold the NPC
How I see it:
More specials to buy with points will empty the market in less then a day most likely and you'll end up with 0 points, just like before. Unless the NPC is there to help support the increase use & demand. (or more flower runners start doing business)

I see your point, but by having the NPC selling points it will remove cash from the game. And it will be enought points on the marked for people that can afford them.

According to City Stats, the amount of points in circulation have increased over the past 16 days with ~500 per HOUR on average. I think the flower runners are plenty active enough, don't you?

Point in circulation means nothing in my opinion. I have always gotten about 10k+ of them and these won't be sold.
The amount of points in the market is what's important, and there were about 700 of them yesterday (Points currently in market: 714. - city stats). More today apparently. The moment more uses are added, it will probably result in that being empty within the day
The buffer is too small.
The amount of point in the system won't help the points on the market. people aren't interested into selling their own points. And probably less if more ways to use them are introduced

The number of points in market from City stats is....incredibly wrong. I have been buying and selling a lot of points lately, at all times of the day, and at no time seen less than many, many thousand for sale. In the same period, I have yet to see the City stats show number of points currently on market above 1,000.
On that note, the other stats may be just as wrong - but when it comes to points on market, I KNOW it is.
*Edit: And wake up man. Have you seen the point market the past week? People are not interested in selling points? Millions are sold every day, and the price have dropped to well below 48,000 on occasions. I have even sold off 10,000 of my personal stockpile, to avoid losing too much money by keeping them (as they were initially bought for 50,000).
I can probably spend a couple of billion on the points market at any given time of the day.
