    Now is a better time than ever to start a flash sale. Hear me out.

    Due to schools being shut down, spring break, businesses closing, self-quarantine imposed, and other consequences of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), there is an increased amount of players online at any given moment. Even though there is an inconsistent player amount and willingness to purchase ranks and other novelties from the store, there is a distinction that this may not last as long as we think it could. This virus could last months, and none of us are ready for it. (Except people who hoard toilet paper and hand sanitizer, just kidding.) We could use a sale right now.

    Think about it: Flash sale = more people willing to buy = ranks = more players to use benefits of ranks, repeat. More sales = more revenue = happiness for owners.

    Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

    Hey hey, while this does seem like a reasonable time to host a sale considering it's a time when more people are online, I'm sure the owner(s) have their own agenda of when to host sales. In addition, considering the time of the factions reset, which is in 4 days (3/20), we can expect a sale about a week after, so ~3/27. Again, no one is sure of the exact time except for the owners, but I'm sure a sale will happen soon, so I would say patience is the best policy here.

    Have a good day :)

    This does sound a bit funny but you do have a point on that. Everything shut down in my country and I’m down to just my pc, 24/7. However, factions season 22 will begin on the 27th of march, therefore a flash 40% sale will be on by then and will last for the weekend. Making sales constantly mean people would have to spend more and more money if they wanted to buy cheaper stuff, and although it may be profitable for the owners, we are the ones spending our money and we can’t spend money on games everyday. I’m a -1 to your idea although it sounds good

    Honestly, I think most people are trying to save money and supplies, as they run the risk of contracting the illness when they leave their homes. Obviously, essentials and physical commodities come before ranks and keys on a block game server. Besides, like Guih said, there's probably going to be a flash sale within the next two weeks for the Factions reset, so there really is no point. -1

    That sounds really good, we should call it "Corona Sale"

    I agree with what Guih said. I like the idea but with the covid-19 people are losing their jobs for the time being. Most kids ask their parents to buy things and with bills it makes it harder for them to be able to buy things. Unless the kid has a job and his own money then it might not be to good of an idea. I therefore agree with Guih and -1.
