RE: Land Plot Efficiency for non-whales.

You need access to high PP cards - and those are expensive. If you're not a long-term player, getting those is quite the hassle. Hence, for small fish like me, it makes more sense to focus on ROI instead of LPE - that was my argument at least, I hope I was able to transmit that :-D

higher LPE = Higher ROI
Learn to check buy-sell channel. Lot of the good trades happens over the counter, not at the official market.
I can hook you up with an expert @xsuilx, if he check the tag. He is the king of over the counter p2p market. Even @bjangles recently bought a $700 card for $500 :)
Hm is that the hidden discord channel? I think I have access to that. And no, higher LPE does not necessarily mean higher ROI. ROI is still bound to prices on the market, what one can get for their money. For example, if I change my Simulation to GF instead of RF:
Beta Rare Gold foil. I pay $220 for a max, giving me 20,000 PP. That is 90 PP/$.
My buy-in would be: $2200 (10 max cards) + $50 Plots + $10 Cores + $100 Stake = $2360
Grain plot still feeds 4 workers, but 20,000 PP have to be fed (200 Grain/h or 1,979 DEC/h).
Stone production will be 200/h, minus 10% makes 180 Stone/h, which is 27,127 DEC/h, minus 1,979 = 25,148 DEC/h, 603,552 DEC/day, 220,296 DEC/year.
ROI: 220,296 / 2,360,000 = 9,3% per year (vs. 12,1% with Rare Beta RF)
BUT LPE = 25,148 / 2 = 12,574 (vs. 3.501 DEC/h/Plot with Rare Beta RF)
So, the yROI of my simulation goes down, but LPE goes up substantially. Hence, higher LPE does not equal higher yROI - that if I calculated somewhat correctly here :-D
No hidden discord channel that I'm aware of but the TPG discord does have a semi-active buy/sell/trade channel.
That said, I typically look for cards / prices on peakmonsters and if there's somethin I'm after, I'll hop into the in-game market to see if it's listed by someone I can reach out to directly to try to negotiate :)
That's a good tip, thank you! How do you usually negotiate? By historical value, saving fees, and so on?
Typically yea, c.) all of the above. Given that we're in the early days of CA, it's a good idea to kick the conversation off with an offer for trade instead, too :)
thank you!
also, I run a lot of plot like this
As Vugtis will say: "It is still some ROI"
Sure, it's better than leaving the plot idle.
