I think no matter what, players will still complain about logging in and finding themselves in the hospital. I don't think it has anything to do with stimpack price. No one likes logging in and being in the hospital (or jail).


This is what's puzzling to me...

Sales for stimpacks have always been low. When prices were cut in half, sales didn't increase at all (yup, it's tracked). Players didn't buy more, they just paid less. There was a small spike initially, but the ratio of income compared to units sold has remained the same.

Normally a player logging in to find themselves in the hospital will be in there between 10 to 30 minutes. This is $500 to $1,500 in stimpacks. For low levels this might be expensive, but once you reach mid levels (around 7th or so) this cost is not too bad and at high levels the cost is pretty insignificant (perhaps 1 or 2 car crimes).

People don't invest in stimpacks. Those who do still complain about being in the hospital.
