Hi guys, I'd like to know what would be the minimum to bid for 100K coal?

25,000,000?

 

How much you want to bid?

In credits? I could pay 100 million tomorrow as i build them up far faster than i spend them.

coal is always useful as you can buy ships.

 

I would be surprised if the highest bid isn't greater than that.

I may sell some ships just to get that 100K coal, and I'm dead serious on that. Grinding credits takes way less time than waiting for 100.000 coal.

Bear in mind that some people are sitting on a lot of credits already. I could quite easily bid 1000:1 on Credits:Coal (if I felt like it ) and not feel short afterwards, and I suspect there are others which many more credits in the bank.

You'll be out of ships and rich on usless credits when your bid isn't high enough. Let us know how it goes for you ^^

I would bid 1m.

 

I don't give WG money anymore, therefore no premium and limited money.

 

But I must congratulate WG on finding a way to drain credits from accounts and encourage the purchasing/need to buy premium.

for me the problem is that there is nothing to do with this coal ... i have close to 500k of coal and nothing to spend it on ...

How about 

[edited]all

I have 800k coal stocked up from the years of grind and bought a fair few ships and flags with it. And I have more than to use them for. Have all the unique captains (the unique ones with enhanced skills that is. Yet to get Phillipe auboyneau and Jersy Swirski)

So I clearly have more than what I need. I'd instead give my coal to any player in dire need or it, or just trade it for free XP to grind for some Leg Mods, coz I have nothing else to do.

Maybe 50-100M credits.

 

On a normal day I'll get about 2k coal, and if I only play T9-10 premiums, even with standard account, I can make maybe 1M credits over a few games. And if I start using special flags and/or I get some premium time, it can easily be a lot more.

So we're looking at a 500:1 or 1000:1 conversion rate.

 

Let's not forget that credits can also be (laboriously) turned into free cpt xp.

I have plenty of high tier ships, tech tree or freemiums, so purchasing another one from the Armory would only add so much variety, while leveling up another captain might ultimately be a better investment.

Otherwise what would I get? Pommern? Immelmann? Z-44? I'm not as inspired as I was by JB and Georgia...

I'm confused about this:

"For example, if there is a lot for 500 commemorative flags, the 500 players with the highest and earliest bids will each receive one flag. All other bids will be returned to the participating players' accounts."

 

Wouldn't that mean that the 5k players would only get 20 coal each?

I was thinking somewhere above 50 M and less than 100 M. Anything more than that would just encourage whales to burn through their credit stash so they can pay for credits in the future and not earn them the hard way as everyone else does.

No :)

 

There is a lot of 5000 x 100k coal.

So the highest 5000 and ... earliest (whatever that means) will each get 100k coal.

 

I know ... I'ma expert, I used to watch "Storage Wars" .... YEEEP!

It's WG urging ppl to bid asap. They anticipate a lot of equal bids. In that case the earlier bids of the same value take precedence of later bids.
