When buying currency, I think pebbles should be sold with moonstones at least once or twice a year for a special occasion or sale. People would probably purchase the set more. I would. I know they did this once at launch and I bought a lot.

I don't support this for a few reasons. Pebbles are pretty easy to get and already not as wanted as moonstones. Adding more pebbles on occasion through cash sales would increase the already increased inflation. This would also add a designated price on pebbles, making it harder to sell them, since they'd have a definite monetary value. The one pack they sold with pebbles was I think the beginner's bundle, and you could only buy it once, and they were negligible to the long game.

I have to agree with Vissyn that currently the economy is not in a position where being able to buy pebbles straight up is going to be beneficial. Perhaps once more desirable pebble sinks and a more steady and accessible way to earn moonstones have been introduced, it wouldn't do so much harm, but right now I think it would pretty much be the finishing blow to an already dying economy.

I also agree with Vissyn that it was the beginner's bundle, something to help you get started. With how easy pebbles are to make (and currently the lack of anything to really spend it on), I doubt a bundle would really be that desirable..

Plus, there are two different currencies for a reason, one regular and one premium. Offering both for real life currency would kind of defeat the purpose.

So all in all, no support; neither for the short nor the long term.

I understand and see both your points. I’ve taken a break from here for a few months and have come back and it seems the economy is worse. The pebble to ms ratio used to be around 10kg pebbles to 1 ms which seems fair, but now it has jumped so much higher. It also seems harder or tales longer to earn pebbles from the gauntlet now too. I guess I was just thinking about what would entice me to play more - new better cheaper apparel would definitely help. I’m hoping you can still get a decent amount of shards everyday from doing the daily activities. Guess I’ll find out soon.
