think it was a different ratio 2-3 years ago, used to own a new account never dropped from 2 years ago, and its different.
by firing(dropping) an ally their hire value decreases. people who are actively hiring allies that will potientally resale quickly commonly shop specific prices. these prices are of players who have never been dropped(fired). since inactive players normally are the ones that are dropped, you can use these specific prices and avoid them.
yes, but the list only goes up to 500bill. interestingly enough, it really doesnt seem that long ago when that list actually covered most your ally hiring needs. there is also another that doesnt have the thousandth place commas in the values. for easy copy paste use.
