No the devs are right! Let's make everything fun pay to win! Whichever sports team pays the most money starts the game with 50 points! They aren't making enough money from the pay per view events, tickets, broadcast stations, concession, food, clothing, etc! We need more money! Whoever has the most money wins! Nevermind they are all filthy rich, they need more more more more everything is money! Maybe in basketball they should start auctioning shots to the highest bidding player. If you don't have as much money you can only make a shot after the highest payers do. You know... since you think it's fun for the highest payers to have the best chances & get the best everything.
The point about pay to play is not devs fault it's players fault. If someone offered you £1000 you wouldn't turn it down. That's basically what hte is, people are giving stupid amount of money, but it's not devs fault people have make hte clans where you pay to enter, or it's not devs fault people have decided that it's the only eb people will flock to. The growth rate was typical 2 years to get to my size before hte, that was fact. But time and time again I'll see some guy who's got 30mil cs and hasn't been around for a year. It's hurtful for long time for a quick growth because no one will resect the time it took to get their stats, and those who spend stupid amounts think they have something over regular players. All this moaning about pay to play is greedy people complaining about someone else who has even more money than brains than themselves.
There's top 500 lb players that haven't been around for more than a year. That's the real disgusting thing.
Wolfie we do not meant to say, "Why do you we need to pay? Why can't we get everything for FREE! Look at other games they all have everything for FREE!" It's just that those who can pay, pay more and more to win while those who aren't are usually left behind. Some games need to pay for a certain item but in this game it's like it has been abused... Look at the other games, they do need to buy other items but even how many times a player bought an item it still looks like they don't buy at all or for short nothing had change....
I almost didn't respond after reading such a ridiculous statement. The devs give 3x gold, high drop rate of every event item, auqa, inferno, horns, etc etc for HTE & you claim it's not the devs fault. If you give people a more efficient way to accomplish something it is COMMON SENSE for them to go that route. If it's "moaning" to express your opinion about something then you are "moaning" about "moaning". Anytime someone has nothing intelligent to contribute to a conversation they always claim the other is complaining or "moaning". The players are somewhat to blame though. Players like you who pat the devs on the back for their pay to win nonsense. Players who think it's "fair" that $ > anything else. In fact that isn't just an issue in this game. It's an issue all over the world where simple minded saps have been brainwashed to think money is their god & whoever has the most money should have everything.
I Dont Know How To quote someone But Lord Sora Your First Comment & The Following Few I SUPPORT Them... EVERYTHING That A Non Spender Thinks of, you Said It all..
My opinion, Ata wants to move to a different type of business. With the staff and resources they have i dont blame them. Maybe they would rather produce software for other companies.. I also think these promos started as a means to quickly gain a mass amount of money before they decided to break into doing something different but it instead they ended up making even more money than they expected. Now the plan is to just keep throwing these events at us until the community is ran dry to which they will then say "good bye kaw, we are on to bigger and better things now". If you read all there articles and such you can find online, this new kaw doesnt match what they said made them successful.
Thanks if that wasn't sarcasm but I do spend $ on this game & don't mind it one bit. People should spend money on the games they enjoy to keep the games profitable for the developers which keeps the games evolving & updated. The issue here is how far overboard the devs are going with pay to win. They've lost sight of the fact that games are supposed to be fun, not a struggle to stay competative with those who dedicate obsurb amounts of money to p2w.
This is a perfectly correct statement here & my biggest fear with KaW as I've seen it happen too many times to once great games. They sunset the game after they have milked as much $ they can out of the idiots cheering on hte/money grab events. This actually just happened with Sony Online Entertainment. They milked the max amount of cash they could out of their customers with extreme pay to win nonsense then sold all of their games to an investment firm/sunset the rest of them.
The -One of- main problem with this game is that people need incentives to do.... Well, anything. EE? High activity during seasons, not much during off season. PvP? Many only do it for the rewards. If the rewards aren't good, people won't do that. Take a look at this event for example. EBS? If HTE wasn't here, people would be hitting the next best EB back to back max crystalling, if you already have or don't need new equip. - No loyalty And then you have to remember that the LB are already build complete. They have to keep the game interesting for them as well as trying to get us near their spots. It's somewhat of a balancing act for them. This skull event, I believe, is doing well in that department IMO. 2,500 skulls = 562B 5K = 900B Those are obtainable for the not so frequent/low spenders. The PVP side edition? Terrible and I'd say not worth it. But eh, who knows. I doubt the game will tank in the next 2/3 years. - - is edits.
Sora and Woifie, imo you are both correct. Yes, the players who just come in, throw a bunch of money down, and suddenly have huge lb accounts are at fault, but the devs are also at fault for enabling this action more and more. I agree, woifie, when you build slowly over a few years, as many of us have, then you do respect your account more, and have more passion for the game as a whole. What it comes down to is that by going overboard with the pay to play stuff, the devs have lost sight of their original goals and dreams for KaW and in turn have lost the passion they had for building their own game. This feeling soon transfers to the players, especially those who have supported KaW for many years. So yes, it is fine and probably now necessary to have some pay aspects and bring in new players, but I think the devs should also show more appreciation to the loyal and dedicated players who have helped them keep their vision alive all these years.
