[Off topic] Routine kills Carl Remember that[/Off topic] I too believe that there should be a change, I am well aware though that this kind of change involves huge amount of effort.

banging on the idea barter points, each item worth as much barter points as it is worth money now - smoooooooth transition you have to match for a trade succesful

Voted "yes", but I hardly think its an "of course". If we take the pre-game concept seriously, we have to admit paper currency would become worthless with days of the outbreak. Possibly within hours. Setting up the game mechanics to operate a barter economy would be an interesting challenge. (What would be the basic unit of exchange then? the 9mm bullet?) Setting up the game mechanics to represent a fluctuating economy where sudden shortages are caused by devastating zed attacks, and (temporarily) relieved by successful scavies would be ideal, but I don't know if it could be done.

I imagine a barter system might work this way: -I'll give you 11 rounds for that can of cat food. -It's worth 12 -No, it's not worth 12. But throw in that book and I'll make it 12. -Done Shopkeepers are all greedy, and try to keep the change, so you juggle your sales and purchases to minimize the rip-off factor. Hmm, I bet someone is going to complain that this would increase the irritation/nuisance factor of the game without increasing the challenge.

Well, there was the "ammo as currency"thread so why not,plusI Like kemeD's Idea of a barter system.make it any amo type worth 100% food worth 50%,cigs 20%(this could be different) .Create a random variable ,which would influence the market (simmilar to zed horde spawn variable..Plus a system of influence, like if the market has too much uzis for example their price lowers,it all could depend on trade logs.I too am afraid that all this requires hell lot of coding. But i strongly support the idea.

expanding on my idea we have a difference in price when buying and selling, why not make it the range of barter when in player to player trade it depends solely on them, at shops in depends on smarts and mission standing (we will have those sooner or later) items accepted should depend on the shop, although i cannot imagine someone refusing to trade for food, ammo, weapons and meds why fixing the range of price in the first place - devs don't want people to use alts to power up their main, it's the only option we have adjusting the market - bad idea, too many variables
