Does earning money has to be that hard?

I know that some guns or furniture can be expensive because of how good it is. I have nothing against allowing Era to have an In-app purchases system, but making items expensive combined with low paying jobs is a bit strange to me. I'm not suggesting the prices, but we are not World Of Warcraft players, we don't spend hours upon hours of playing just for Dual Deagles. Most people like me play this as a casual game, playing it in short sessions when we have free time or to blow off steam. Why do we have to pay tons of money or devote hours into this game just to have a bit of fun? Yes, not buying anything can do, but you would be at a great disadvantage compared to other players who buy things. Sometimes fun games are better than long ones. Why does earning money have to be hard?

No idea why, they've raised the wages before, but it still isn't enough. Everything is over-priced, but we don't have any jobs that pay good amount of money. It's annoying.

I prefer to play games that are fun for longer times rather than play longer games to have fun. I see you have the same problem too.

Customizing your house would take months and hard-work, iEra traps you in the game to work and work then having fun customizing. It's really dumb how they don't raise the wage.

You gotta grind harder in era than in any other game known to man. Unless you itunes everything ;)

Ikr.

Earning money isn't hard....it just takes awhile to make it. I never thought M4 would be played with so much xD. First crabs, then like 5k, and now 55k

It's is hard for some new players. When I first started playing, I quit immediately and didn't come back until my friend, the one who introduced it to me, begged me to rejoin. Then everything got more expensive and he left, though I still stayed. Car Missions and other jobs combined will still not generate enough money to buy a decent gun since most players would play this in short sessions, rather than commit hours just for items.

Grinding is fun with friends *sexual innuendo off*

Either do it the linear way or fun,more luck based way -

1) Linear - cook pizzas.I make 5 k per 2 hours just by cooking pizzas.
2) Fun way - get yourself a bee knife and search in forest areas for mushrooms,trash and acorns,it's much more fun,pretty much takes the same time to get 5k but a little bit more luck based.

I've only spent 38$ on Graal,been playing for 3 years and I've got like 520 k gralats by myself in less than 760 hours and I'm not even a no-lifer and this is my only MMO game.

Lol, just don't buy any expensive items xD Be a AFKer

I know right and nothing is being done about it.

Almost everything in this game is expensive and how does being an AFKer help any of us?

Not all of us will spend money on a simple game. I would thank you for your contribution to this topic, but you are not helping at all by restating the ways to earn money when the topic is about why it's hard to earn money.

I can't talk about it very much obviously.
But there are some new jobs coming eventually that we think are pretty "fun" to do and involve doing stuff that we don't really do for making money now.

Eventually we want to do fishing at some point too, but ol'west set's high standard for fishing so we'd have to make sure we do it well :)
I guess when we release those new jobs it could take some of the pain away from earning money

It all depends on Unimaxid. I'm sure all the admins here would be kind enough to want to do something about it, but they don't own the business.

Not really,Unixmad doesn't make the decisions that affects development in a large way.
Is it really that hard to earn?
I mean,grinding is another thing but I think having some friends to ease the pains of grinding are the most important thing.
Even if you don't have any friends to ease you through,just prep yourself to earn till you drop,because that's what stands between you and your goal.
I know it's a pretty uphill/arduous task most of the time,but what other choice do you have?

We just got to wait a few more months, huh?

Some new jobs would be great! I find it quite hard to spend time trying to earn money when i'm not making videos and stuff. I've come to monetising my Videos and spending the money on in-app purchases, that's basically my "Job" on iEra.

I wonder how much money will woodcutting in countryside will be?! O

The novelty of new jobs will wear off, that's a fact. What matters most is the speed in which we earn money. The time it takes to grind for even a mid-tier ~50k gun is a bit much and greatly separates free-to-play from pay-to-play players.

I find that the fastest ways of making money is by making pizza, another great one is car missions.

Though it is quite fast in making money, the speed and pay still separates the free to play from the paid.

Yeah, i mean- half of the goals of the new jobs in my eyes is to bring fun to jobs.
No doubt people will always think digging shells or mining (if you've got the time to invest in it) are going to be the best earners, but i hope to see people choosing to other jobs because they actually find them more enjoyable.
We have ideas to cater to both the hardcore players and more casual players. We'll just have to see how it goes

Having new jobs would be great, I'm getting a bit tired of the same old jobs for years. Good luck on making the new jobs!

Era just want's to rig your finance.

If you're unhappy in regards to the stupid low-wage we receive on iEra, hop on the better version of Era (PC) and enjoy yourself.

New jobs would give a new lease of life on earning gralats.
They should be really satisfying.

It's all about the speed of earning money. Besides, what fun is a game where most guns are out of reach and with the additions of Player Shops (I love them), people would need more gralats.

Thanks, whoever rated this 5 stars.
