WHY KOFLATION IS HAPPENING

Kallie 8 hours ago46 views

hi! i wanted to make this blog as my personal theory & opinions as to why shops may be inflating & how we can solve it, this is just what i assume & believe to be happening, however i'd love to interview some kovaze shop owners & have them respond below as to whats going on with the economy ^_^ 1. koinz system the main way of earning koinz is playing games & placing high in them, the highest payouts being outcasted, royale & celebrities. however, you can obtain high amounts of koinz through the luck-based shop games such as bingo, raffle, & grabber. these prize pools tend to range from 2k-15k koinz, as players already with high amounts of coins are able to "invest" in these options. you can also obtain koinz by making designs, opening a shop & asking for donations! however, in this economy a lot of people tend to purchase high amounts of koinz with real money, every 100 koinz is roughly $0.80 on this website. 2. designing & cost making & selling designs is a crucial part of kovaze shops, i mean how the fuck else would their be clothes on the site? however, i think the prices of kovaze designs tend to be on the higher end, you'd be paying a full 300 coins (designers get the full amount of koinz paid) and this goes deeper into point 3. shop profits 3. for a design to put in your shop for 800 coins, however kovaze taxes shop owners heavily, giving them only 20% of the sale. you'd only be gaining 160 koinz selling an item for 800, making negative profit, especially if youre dishing out 2-5k coins for a store. this is the reason i believe items to be sold for 1k+ koinz as of late, continuing the trend that that people will pay for expensive designs just to keep up and the next cycle the clothes just get even more expensive. 4. why is this a problem? the consumer of these items (kovaze players alike) are often dishing out hundreds of dollars a month, multiple people i've met on this website while being active for around 2 weeks have told me about their spending habits and how much they are willing to pay for clothing on this game! although these are grown adults with their own money, spending however they please! the expectation is to spend money and "fit in" with others. shop owners know people will pay these insane high prices because they want to support the site, and will pump out their stock with just a pair of shoes for roughly $11 USD. i think this system can make people feel pressured to need to spend their money to customize their avatar to their fullest extent and again, "fit in" with the others. 5. what can we do about this? personally, i believe the shop system needs an entirely new revamp. i think that designs should take place of the shop, instead of curated stores with limited stock. i think it gives players more time for creativity and less of an unnecessary competition to see who can sell the most to stay in the top 4 stores. if we kept this current shop system, i think the payout ratio needs to be higher & the amount of stock needs to be raised. the faster cycles have been great, but things sell out quick for extremely high prices. i think the standard should be almost flipped, gaining roughly 60%-80% profit while kovaze taxes 40%-20%. 6. closing thoughts this is just my opinion and i'd love to hear yours! no shade/hate/offense to anyone who owns a shop, makes designs or runs this site :) i love you all and just wanted to host a little discussion!

there is not many people spending hundreds on single designs, maybe 1 or 2. theres a few who spend hundreds on gifting shops, yes. but they were doing this before and it was not this big of a problem.

No lol this is a terrible idea. Shop owners are already profiting thousands a week from Shops. Increasing our profits isn't going to drive prices down. And prices aren't even high bitches be rich and just want to complain

Kiss is shops lucrative for non-designers tho? Designers charge an arm and a leg for permissions and then you get 15% of the sale, how do non-creative people make money.
