  • Today ladies and gentlemen we are doing something very different. Arma 3 is a fantastic milsim game with a large rp community providing an unlimited amount of arma 3 funny moments. This video will be rather similar to Soviet Womble and his unique editing style when it comes to arma3. Honestly it is rather necessary in order to work out what is said. Anyway today we are discovering if Arma 3 Overthrow (Similar to antistasi) Is A Perfectly Balanced game With No Exploits - Excluding Banana Trading for unlimited money.
    A huge thanks to Rimmy For letting me destroy his servers economy to make this video. If you want to see his perspective you can watch it here: • A Fustercluck in ArmA ...
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
    So sit back relax and enjoy this Arma 3 challenge!

    As long as you're limited by capital, not by the physical volume of watches that you can transport, you're actually better off trading in the cheaper $20 watches than in fancy $196 watches. Yes, you make much more money per unit trading in expensive watches, but your profit margin is actually much higher on the cheaper watches.
    According to the numbers you mentioned in this video, you can buy bananas for $4 and sell them for $5: only $1 of profit, but at a 25% margin. However, bananas are also rather cumbersome to transport in bulk. Fancy watches cost $196 to buy and can be sold for $240, which is of course $44 of profit per unit at a 22.45% margin. This is slightly lower than the margin you get on bananas, but you can probably trade them much more efficiently from a logistical perspective. However, when you consider the cheaper watch, it can potentially provide a much higher margin than either of the above without causing a huge logistical bottleneck: you initially mentioned that you could buy them for $22 and sell them for $27-a mere $5 of profit per unit at a 22.73% margin-but you later mentioned a source of watches that offered them for only $20. If you buy watches at $20 and sell them at $27, you're getting $7 of profit at a lovely 35% margin.
    Of course, if you have so much capital that you're only limited by how many watches you can carry, then simply trade the items with the highest profit per unit (whatever unit limits your carrying capacity-mass, volume, or simply number of items). If you can fill your inventory with expensive watches, that makes sense despite the much lower margin.

      You should also take into account how long it takes to get said profit.

So in the end, the watches probably get more money faster.

If you have $160, you can buy all the bananas you want and will make 25% on all the money spent, but you can't buy a watch and as such you're wasting time by not having your money tied up in a commodity you're selling, so no matter what, even if you were to spend 95% of your money on watches, you should tie up the rest of your money in bananas just so that you make more for the ultimate trip. However once he got into the 100k range, then any such small commodity would take a long time to buy, and would be simple to just get an autoclicker

      @marw9541 Před 2 lety +1

      @@rickedwards415 I missed a third zero when typing out multiple zeroes my dude, you don't have to harp on a typo so long. But your point about the sell doesn't make much sense, because the products are just a means to trade for money, so you go money -> product -> money, so all you really need to care about is money at the beginning changing into money at the end. So if we have $320 at the start, 100% of the money can be turned into bananas and 100% of your money will increase by 25%, so we end up with 400. But if you buy watches at say $250 for 25% profit, you have $70 left over that won't be subject to a percentage increase, meaning we lost out on $17.5. This isn't about "real world" it's just about what percentage of your money can be turned into what percent profit. The autoclicker was about increasing how fast you can buy, not sell. The need for the autoclicker was actually in your favor, I'm not sure why you would want to argue against it. Money per unit doesn't matter unless you have a storage issue, only then does it become useful when you can't turn all of your money into a product to sell, because again, the change in money is the whole point of selling, so you want as much of your money being increased as a percentage of a sale.

    • @rickedwards415
      @rickedwards415 Před 2 lety +1

      @@marw9541 Some of what you says makes sense, which is why he started with bananas. He, however, moved on to watches when he saw they were more efficient. Look at around 19:10 in the video. He can buy and sell the watches for only a $3 profit on its $150 or so cost. That's around a 1.5% profit only. However, he can just do this at the same place. That 1.5% will not register on the $3 bananas, so he can't do that with bananas. To get the banana profit from before(25%), he would need to drive to another location, thus taking up more time and reducing the amount he makes in a given amount of time. He is absolutely doing this in the most efficient way he can. Not to mention, turning his 120k into $3~$4 bananas would probably take a considerable amount of time, even with an auto-clicker. It's all about making the most money in the shortest amount of time. The percent profit is meaningless; if you can sell the lower profit margin at a faster rate, thus generating more money faster, that's the better way to go.

    I can't even say why, but this is exactly what was missing from your channel up until this point. Everything ARMA is particularly interesting due to the unbelievable variety of emergent gameplay. I love this game and I love your style of presenting/commentating. Please bless us with more ARMA3 and/or other proper sandboxes in the future!
