Unlike the Bloxtopian days, limiteds are timed items rather than limited stock releases.


This means that the stock of an item isn't rigged, which is good.


However, for the past like 2 months, limiteds have been dirt cheap, leading to stock counts of 250+.


If we are being realistic, if 250 users have an item, then basically every active person has it. This leads to zero demand for limiteds since everyone gets one.


The solution? Bump up that price tag on newer limiteds.


Higher prices can motivate users to actually contribute to the platform by making games and clothing to earn bricks, or purchase them directly (which benefits the company and owner's equity). Another plus is that stock counts become lower, making items rarer, and therefore more sought after.

Well yeah true but subjective likeness drives up demand in limiteds. Cool regular items are nice, but the economy is in disrepair right now. Plus they hardly have hat renderers and creators.

If Polytoria Administrators want to keep limiteds cheap (idk why they would), they should get rid of daily bricks.


I understand that it is inconvenient to purchase bricks and that some may feel that this will eliminate some users from participating in trade, however, limiteds could become former event items (like eggs from the Egg Hunt, for example) which would allow users to get involved with limiteds without purchasing bricks.


Again, the removal of daily bricks could inspire a new wave of user creation and bolster up competition to EARN bricks, not just have them fall into our laps. Competition would really make this site better, as competition leads to innovation and greatness. This is made possible by being able to upload clothing for free (unlike ROBLOX) and gamepasses.


But if we are to keep having the daily bricks, prices have to be inflated upon release in order to guarantee an items inherited value once it becomes limited.


Some may not like it, but it is normal for the majority of the user base to not be able to get a limited when it releases, hence their value. I'm not saying all limiteds have to be a fortune, but we have had enough cheap ones.


This is the shrek doctrine.

Economy reset destroyed any advantage. I went from the near richest to dirt broke
