after reading though a few thread with people complaining about a non functioning Economy, mainly due to lack of new players.

but it strikes me that if the economy requires new players to function then it isn't actually really a functional economy but just a partial simulation even if had a supply of new players.

while im not an expert on economies

it strikes me that the actual problem would be that while there effectively a continual input of resources, very little is actually used up and leaves the system.

and if you really wanted a functional economy you would have to have, things breaking and needing repairing or replacing (using resources) to ensure a continuous flow of resources


what is anyone else's opinion on this?
