No balance in the money system there is almost no kama flow in the game at this time. this is mostly because there are no kamas to make a flow with. almost everything in the game sells for 1 kama.
to make one kama you need 10 iron. it seemed that the pockets of the game would fill quickly with only taxes taking the mone away, however travelling costs 10 kama!
you need to mine 100 iron to be able to use any transport! if anyone uses a transport, several hours of mineral collecting will go down the drain.
my suggestion is therefore, either make transports A LOT cheaper, or make it so that you craft more kama per mineral. perhaps you should get 5 kama for 10 iron instead?

I see it the same. The way Kamas are made is fine. But the rarity of those makes reasonable trade impossible. Another possibility would be to introduce 2 types of money. So 100 Kamkas would be worth 1 Kama or so...

In Closed Beta you could make 10 kamas from 5 iron and 3 copper. There was a problem of there being TOO MUCH money in circulation. The new system is better. And kamas have no value except in their ability to be traded for things that you do actually value. You should be trying to make/find things that are valuable to people and then trade those. Kamas are being made constantly by miners.

Assuming characters and money were reset when open beta came, I think we should wait more to see how it goes. Its barely been a week with just players leveling everywhere, probably we'll be seeing more kamas from now on.

I think Kamas are quite balanced now, except for zaaps because they cost the same they did during CB, but now getting kamas is harder and takes longer. And the bird transport needs to be "opened" by donating kamas so even that which was a "cheaper zaap" is gone too... Maybe lowering the price to 5 kamas for zaaps would help?

But you can still make kama the way you described .-.

Why the internet is so stupid? .-.

Actually it's a very good point.

Why? Well, every rpg game I've played before, online or not, had an economy. You need money to buy items.

A very good item costs alotof money. A trip to a place, even a distant one or dangerous or high lvl or whatever is cheap. No exception.


But here in Wakfu it's weird and wrong.


A trip to a close place costs 10 kama. A very good item costs 5 kama.

lol?

Zaaps are meant for traveling long distances, not to hopping around.
And as Yech said, most people are more concerned with leveling than making money, and quite a few people make their own gear and provide it to their friends and guildies, it's normal that there are very limited trade going on.

"every rpg game I've played before, online or not, had an economy. You need money to buy items."
This game has a player dependent economy, combining the fact that this is an open beta with limited resources and method to earn/make kamas and people aren't really concerned with making money.
