Re: Whats the point of buying simcash anymore?

Not a good idea.... It kinda removes the point of it being limited time... So... it looses its value if you do get any...

Tbh simcash was meant to be premium currency...A little for free is nice, but idk... if they had a mechanic to sell limited time buildings id think its kind of more pointless than it is now... and it would stop me from buying things even more because it would be easier to get it any time in the future.

    I disagree only because of supply and demand. I think there will be a lot less people willing to sell those buildings. Those buildings are already rare and the demand would high. When one building does come into availability from the auction it's value would sky rocket. Most likely giving the seller much more sim cash than the original purchase.  Why would the ability of one player being able sell or purchase limited time buildings on a secondary market effect you in anyway? The person buying the building be spending a whole a lot more real money tomaqcuire the building than you did originally. All in all it supports the games existence and gives sim cash a another reason of existance.

    Each limited item has a meaning behind it...

    If lets say... someone got the deluxe plumbob park.... When someone who knows its meaning sees it in someone elses city, they know they are a fairly old player.

    Now, if players then could trade this building.... If someone like me saw it in someone elses city... It would no longer have that special meaning behind it... because it could've just been someone who bought it off someone else and wasn't an old player like it used to mean...

    Do you understand?

    It basically looses its value bcause it looses its meaning as soon as it becomes tradable..... 

     I would assume not that many people would want to trade them anyway... To be perfectly honest... you buy them because they look nice... No-one should ever be buying them to gain a profit.. that in general is a bad idea because its basically exploiting limited events to make a profit... So not only will it devalue all items instantly, it would also be a mechanic that hardly anyone should be using.... and if no-one uses it.... that's a lot of effort in coding for almost no reason...

    Tbh i still don't know why i should buy simcash anymore (the name of this thread...) -_- was kinda hoping for some reasons why i should buy simcash.... not "Hey, what about this idea to devalue all of items you bought previously with simcash!" ... Seriously, I honestly think that would make me buy simcash even less...
