All I see are people theory crafting on what type of boogie man can come out of this.
IF YOU HAVE NOT SOLD A MOD FOR PLAT THEN YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS WORKS.
First of all PLAT is not cheap even with discount it does not devalue plat because guess what S*(& is still expensive in game. 1k plat seems like its a lot but it will disappear one day from non-trade activities unless you are someone who truly doesn't need to spend plat then you wasted money because you bought plat just to let it sit there.
There is no way to convert traded plat or any plat into cash not even if you were to sell it online to someone. There is a CREDIT TAX through trade and it can get EXPENSIVE really fast. A simple trade has ridiculous tax on it. (Gold Farmers would have to work out another way of making money like selling ACCOUNTS) And even if Gold Farmers were successful, who gets hurt? No one. Not unless you're doing business with gold farmers and getting scammed by them when trying to purchse their accounts, that's your fault.
Here's the run down:
- Mastery Rank determines the amount of times someone can trade.
- Platinum is not cheap and it is quite valuable even at single digits. Yes, people do trade single digit plat up to 100 plat depending on the desired item(s).
- Any plat traded CANNOT BE TRADED AGAIN.
I have sold MODs for plat and let me tell you it will TAKE A WHILE to see crazy profit unless you are up to the neck with lots of rare mods MAXED OUT. That takes too much time and to convert that into "real cash" is not something I see as profitable for gold farmers. You will have to farm for EVERYTHING all together and it just does not add up to a reasonable profit based on time it takes to get rares and to sell them for just 100 plat.
The same 100 plat you can't TRADE BECAUSE IT WAS GIVEN TO YOU BY A PLAYER. That means your plat is only up for NPC or UI interaction with the game's market or other features unrelated to player trade.
How does anyone not get this? This is not Diablo 3, this is not EvE online or the US economy so stop pretending to theory craft a non-existent social and economical collapse for warframe because you all who don't like the idea aren't EDUCATED enough to understand its simplicity.
There is no need to go through this much trouble to explain how trading works for this game. What you should have done for yourselves is try it out, decide if you would do it again in the future or not. Whatever your answer is, I suggest if you don't want a head ache just play the game. Because if you continue down this path of whining and entitlement , then you are the toxic part of the community.
Stop making things harder for yourself and for the rest of us who aren't bothered by the trading system. We're bothered WITH YOU.
Meh

From what i've seen, you can only trade 3 items at once, and have a daily trade limit of 4 times. Good luck making a business with that limitation. Not to mention the trade tax.
hadn't seen that. oh well \/_ \/

Do not even go there. Unless DE has hired a team of economists just to manage their budding virtual economy do not bring EVE's system into this.
my point was not to introduce the two. As you wish.....

This is totally changing the game's dynamic, and a huge cause for concern. Honestly, I don't like the idea of trading in general; It takes away from the core of the game, and creates a sub-game of "sit in the chat and market some mods". In Warframe's current state "collectibles" are a major player in the longevity of the game, and the notion that they can all be bought devalues them tremendously.
Analogously,
"Bragging rights" as childish and trivial as it sounds, is a big part of the game; This is the reason people are enticed by exclusive items and cosmetics, and is part of the reason I became a founder. An Auction house takes away from this, and is a detriment to the game. Therefore I believe trading should be removed entirely, or at least toned down to a barter system with no currency involved.
in that respect the only thing you have to complain about are the Prime packs, as Prime items were the only thing exempt from plat until now.
Also there nothing wrong with people who prefer to sit in chat and trade all day, that is a vital aspect of Eve's own economy. It keeps business flowing, and is simply a differnt playstyle. Trade kiosks are what brougth me back to warframe after a long break, a break I didnt plan to return from. It provides something new to do besides grind in-engine for items.I have accumulated quite a bit of resources and credits and am excited to see what i can do with them.
as to trading plat itself: I think it might actually have the potential to balance itself out. We'll see.

I'm in favor of removing Plat Trading.
I'd actually be curious to see how a decreasing in-flow of plat affects its value over time, through the website and in-game content. Might actually balance itself out, albeit at unpredictable averages.

I'm curious to see the idea behind this move.

ANY NEWS ON MAG PRIME ADJUSTEMENTS?

any updates on Mag Prime drop adjustments from newest hotfix?

It is. It's a - polarity aura, and is arguably one of the best auras in the game because it provides consistent energy regeneration.
If you match the slot's polarity with the mod's polarity, the mod will take half the point cost to slot into your frame/weapon.
In the case of auras, however, it works a bit differently. Adding an aura gives you more mod points (equal to its rank). If you match the polarity on an aura, it gives you 2x the free mod points.
thank you. Much appreciated.

Well, in the meantime, throw in a maxed Energy Siphon and you have an extra 14 Mod capacity.
sorry, I am not confident that i understand how to add the additional 14 slots. I need to acquire an aura mod first? then add it if it is the correct polarity, knowing that know matter what i will get at least five extra slots, depending on polarity. but I am not aware of an energy siphon? unless that is a specific aura mod.
I haven't really bothered with polarity until I discovered what potatoes did. please help explain, if you want. it would be appreciated.
edit: please tell me if i am correct: max energy siphon via fusion, place in aura slot, ????, profit?
just making sure i understand.

Your First Time Reaction To The Wormhole Jump

i saw the wormhole and thought it made sense. Corpus have better tech than grineer, and needed to take extra precautions against the infestation. I wasn't surprised, although i would think there are less expensive ways to connect two ships.
