Do you think Marapets is for the rich?

Hello guys! Yes. You read that right. Is Marapets is only for the rich players? I've been playing this game for like 6(or 7) years now and the game back then is so easy. All of the items are fairly priced, the quests are easy to do for the new players and the rewards was fair and overall the game is fun and feels not like a chore. But when I came back a week ago (I forgot my last account for I made a new one) the game has changed for the good and the bad. For the good because the site design is more organized but the player economy? Not so much. I played a lot of quests in these past couple of days and I observed that the items are CRAZY EXPENSIVE, like EXPENSIVE THE NEW PLAYERS CANT AFFORD. Also the flash games, after 30 days, you can't get MP off them so what's the point of having games? As if the rewards on the Game Redemption Center is enough to buy clothes, take care of your pet/s and other things that you need to buy in order for you to have like a full experience in this site.

Is this like a tactic of the Marapets staff for forcing the account upgrades? What do you think? Leave some comments and let's have a healthy discussion!

(And also correct me if I put some wrong information up there. I will deeply appreciate it)

If you can afford to buy account upgrades, yes the game will be easier for you, but isn't that any game? When I could afford to buy account upgrades mara was much easier for me but, now I have bills so I can no longer buy them.
Selling has become harder because of the user base not being as big so prices tend to drop because people want to sell stuff in a hurry and they drop the price to make it sell faster.
Also on the other hand there is not as much of certain items in circulation due to a smaller user base which makes the price higher then it would be if it was more users on mara.
If you want to make money on mara it takes a little bit of work if you cannot afford account upgrades. I am rather lazy when it comes to mara because by the time I get I am already exhausted from real life I don't feel like questing and such.
I would say mara is not for the lazy, because mp is not going to be just handed to you like it is nothing. that would make the value of marapoints go down and prices go up.
If you are "rich" mara is much easier for you, but you do not have to be "rich" in real life to to be rich on mara

I don't believe it is. Of course the prices in players'shops are going to be higher than the price of something in store if it is harder to come by. It's how you make profit anywhere. And while the prices are slightly higher, it's because it's very easy to get mp on mara.
Also, it's not like they inflate a lot, everyone knows the cheapest price will get the item sold the fastest, no one prices something outrageously high and expects someone to buy it, the truth of the matter is that the prices aren't inflated at all, they're fairly priced and drop quite quickly.
The dailies can earn you a lot of money, and there's quite a few of them.
I totally agree with the games not giving mp after a month because it's getting you started. After a month, you've been around long enough to find other, faster ways to earn mp.
And finally I believe that marapets players help new players. Not only do they give tips, they something help them get started and offer their help anytime it's needed. Have you visited the new players forum? Help if offered to anyone who needs it.
With everything offered, if one is to use the resources before them, it's not hard to climb up.

Honestly, I don't think it's for "rich" people. Take me, for instance. Just yesterday, I had 20k MP on me. Only 20k! (cause I spent everything else on map instructions) However, I used that to restock from fairly easy stores, such as soft drinks, halloween treats, traps, etc. This takes a whole bunch of patience, if you didn't know. Then, with around 5k mp left, I went and did some GOOD dailes, which earned me around 30k more. I did a whole bunch of secret santa quests, till it asked me for multiple 10K+ items; and my MP total went up to 200k. On to leprechaun quests, and earned around 75k RP. Sold that, and earned 600k MP.

I did this over and over after my quests "ran out of time" for me to start again, and I eventually ended up with 2 million from that run, just from questing and restocking and questing again. Now, today, I have around 5 million. And I didn't even have to pay a single cent~!

And as for the items that are fairly expensive, that's been pretty normal. Not every quest will be easy and ask for cheap items. Or else everyone would resort to questing as their profit. You don't even know how many times I've spent 15K mp on a quest, and received around 2k mp in return. But it opens up a new chance for a new quest, which hopefully will be better than the last. And usually, in the end, the good earnings balance out the bad ones.

Lastly, the only real time an item would go insanely high priced is when it's featured as the item of the week, or an item for the Greedy Fairy~!

It all boils down to how much currency is around. If everyone has 10 mill + then items would need to inflate in price to compensate for for all the mp floating around. The more there is around the less it is really 'worth'
Mara is not for the weak, if you want handouts, this isnt the place to be. You have to work for what you want WHICH IS GOOD.

it's never going to get like gaia
everything is moderately priced.
the only thing I can suggest for chests is for the max items to be lowered to 2 OR having the price limit at something like 12k instead of 15k per item.

LOL. That's what I'm saying. We need to change before this site is like GAIA, where everything is crazy expensive.

What do you suggest then? honestly if you put your mind to it, and quest only for profitable quests, do all your dalies, and invest then you'll be fine. you act like this is something like gaia where the currency there is in the billions and trillions

but you havent been around for AWHILE so you probably had to relearn the game again anyway. Newbies get help by us older players, they are not typically left to their own devices. We offer them our wisdom how on how to make mp, some of us even offer them items and mp to help them start out. The mara community here is awesome. Typically we dont just let someone sink or swim on their own.

I have the same amount as you because I know the game works (as i said, I've played this before) but I'm concerned for the new players.

you have the same amount so your point is in-vaild.
marapets is not for the rich. it doesnt cater to 'the rich' It all boils down to how productive you will be. There are many free games to play, there are many quests to choose from if you have to wait one out, you can even earn mp from restocking if you are fast enough.. thats the best way to earn mp really. Just figure out what works for you. its easy once you figure things out.
