Supply and Demand

The demand for items among players always determines the need for a supply of specific items.

The market value of these items fluctuates based on various factors, including the strategies employed by professional or experienced players, ongoing events, and game updates that may affect the overall balance and introduce new features.

Many of these practices would be considered unethical and illegal in the real world but have no restrictions in the player market of Dead Frontier.

Predatory Pricing

Investment Fraud

Private Auction

Taxation and Trade

In the game Dead Frontier 2, players are subject to taxes on both market transactions and private cash transactions. Momenteel, the tax rate for cash transactions between players stands at 15%.

To calculate the tax amount deducted from a player, de 15% tax rate is converted into decimal form, dat is 0.15. This decimal value is then multiplied by the price or total cash amount involved in the transaction. The resulting value represents the cash amount that will be taxed or deducted during a sale or cash transaction with another player.

• Does this item have additional value due to its potential for rare or elite enhancement?
• Can this item be upgraded in a way that would increase or decrease its value to a buyer?
• Is this item specifically useful to a certain type of player or is it considered collectible?
• Should I hold onto this item until its value increases for potential buyers in the future?

These questions can guide decision-making and help understand the target audience for sales in the Dead Frontier market. Understanding who desires the items and for what purpose can enhance business practices and overall comprehension of the player market. It’s important to note that there are generally players focused on combat roles for boss hunting, looters who profit from acquiring items, and merchers who manipulate the market using different methods.

Staying updated with recent player trends, builds, and activities is highly recommended when actively participating in the Dead Frontier market community. The game frequently receives updates, events, changes, and new content, all of which can significantly influence the player market and how players interact or play the game.

Determining Value

Understanding the factors that contribute to the value of an item can be as simple as analyzing the dynamics of supply and demand.
