    Gold devaluation. Cost of +1 building upgrade, then and now.

    So the +1 building upgrade mod costs 100 gold now.

    Does anyone have any idea how much it cost in the past and around when that was?

    I think GREE has given this out 3 other times, not sure about the events. I think the first was a collect 10 if I'm not mistaken? If so, I'd say waaay over 100 gold for the mod in that particular event.

    1st one: top 1 reward in a collect-20 event
    2nd one: top 1 syndicate reward for CC battles
    3rd one: final reward for LTQ beginners
    4th one: 100 gold

    I talked about that briefly here. They don't have a value for anything, it's all random. 5% mafia attack for T1 one war, 10% mafia attack for T2 the next.

    Building upgrade mod for T1 one war, 100 gold not so long later.

    Its also got a price of 120 scored out , I wonder if this is going to be a permanent item in future in the specials section . I find it odd for Engram to mention elsewhere about "IPH inflation" then they start re-issuing LTB`s and the +1 building upgrade

    Wherever Engram mentioning the word "inflation", he really means they have no time/manpower/desire to improve/evolve that portion of the game.

    Gree will be issuing a new monetary system which will render the current currency worthless.

    You're comparing apples and oranges. You can't buy the first place prize in a PVP event, you can win it by outscoring your competition. It's the players who set the price not Gree.
    The one time Gree awarded the mod in a non-PVP event, it was obtainable for free.

    With Tapjoy, it is still obtainable for free.

    Think you are confused. Stat inflation not IPH inflation. No issues noted with IPH and just how many players are above 100mill IPH milestone anyway. Not that there is an issue with 100mill or higher

    Engram once used the "IPH inflation" as an excuse to not releasing expensive LTBs.

    He is not confused at all. Go read the first AMA again. Here is the link, and to make things super easy, it's the last post in the thread:

    1) IPH has evolved greatly in the last 2 years. There are people with over 150m, maybe close to 200 these days. You should be releasing 400-500m LTBs by now, not 50m like last one. There is no challenge in them whatsoever. It'll also increase PVP and robbing activity (something you presume to want).
    2) LTB rewards are the worst of all events. It's the only event where the reward is worse than what we can obtain in the store. The prizes should be upgraded along with the price (see paragraph 1).

    We recognize the need to make periodic adjustments to LTBs based on the game's overall economy. However, the difficult challenge for us is to provide something of value to loyal, dedicated players like you while controlling IPH inflation.

    We hope some of the new features we have planned for the New Year will make your Cash more valuable, and in turn increase the value of LTBs for everyone.
    Reissuing any LTB immediately decreases its value for everyone, and issuing a +1 upgrade mod that can be easily obtained by anyone who wants it immediately exacerbates IPH inflation.

    Do remember though, this is the same company that said accomplices would not be available in the store. So pretty much anything they say they won't do, they will do, and anything they say they will look into, consider, or otherwise acknowledge as a good idea, has a one way ticket to the inbox of their local waste management facility.
