Here is the big question
Is Marapets economy in ruins?

I believe so, feel free to discuss

Marapets has being going for a long time now but the prices of items and just generally it's economy is in ruins. Nearly everyone is millionaires. Rare items are either super high or super low but why? why is this so?

Quests

There are many quests on Marapets, some people think there is too many but I don't think that's right. The rewards for quests now are just not worth it, you may get a few good prizes every once in a while. The only ones worth is are probably elgar and a lot of people have a limit on how much they will spend on her. This is only because she gives out crystals. The rewards given from quests suck, they suck because they are not worth anything and they are not worth anything because of the shear amount of the item in game, nobody needs them, their is no use for them, so what do we do with them?
What do we do with all these quests then?
Well what can we do, I think there is hardly any way that we can help, to sort this out it the whole questing system would probably have to be revamped even if it's a well deserved revamp

Missions

Another thing that is just not worth the money anymore. The amount of money you can spend on a mission and then you get a avatar, a costume and a potion which is probably the only high value money stuff you get. If you calculate it up now though your prices increase to above the potion and costume value, which leads me onto my next point

Why are prices so high?

Restocking

Hardly anyone restocks the normal shops now, nearly everything has 10/10 items in the shops and the SS value is way below the shop value or way above the shop value but nobody even cares to go looking. There needs to be a natural disaster like the city recession and the stamps and car parts prices went sky high, plus poera potions increased as well but it needs to be mara wide.

Do you think the mara economy is in ruins? If so why? If not why?

I want to hear your views on this

Many thanks to @cpvr for encouraging me to write this

Um... I would be surprised if it wasn't?

@Joy Why would you be suprised? What do you think has made Mara's economy fall?

With Ian as owner, I wouldn't think you would have to ask that question.

@Joy

I'm just trying to get you're view on things here.

I don't think Ian has had much of a effect on the economy, as economys do, it's happened by it self, by users and it needs to be fixed.

What can Ian or the users do to fix this?

There's really nothing to do. That's what's killing the economy. No way to stimulate it. If it's to be fixed, more mp needs to be introduced into the game through a stimulus package or something.

There's plenty to do though, they have various of quests and games. I think there needs to be more games introduced, or some new quests. Obviously the quests need updated though, I did a snowman quest earlier, the item was 7k and I received 3k back, that sucked.

Is the stock market even back up yet? That was a good money maker for a while.

Quests did get updated so they were harder and are now insanely expensive 90% of the time.

The stock market is I think but it takes a while to make money from there.

Honestly, I make most of my money through the Graphics forum selling adoptables and such.

Sorry to say this, but with the points you brought up, many other websites fall into this category. Both Powerpets and Subeta have many multi billionaires. Subeta's prices are much more inflated than marapets, in my opinion, and I do not find the quests all the great except getting some wizard tokens here and there. :x

I used to do the Elgar quests years ago when I actually played the site properly.

Now I just do like Neopets, login >> dailies, nothing much else. So I don't notice a bad economy.

Yeah the wizard quests are the only ones worth doing I think. Save those tokens up and they sell for a fair bit or get something from the token shop thingy.

I think it's just inflation... and quests and games haven't been updated to accommodate inflation.
