Hey guys, not to ruin the positiveness and ideas of this thread but isn't this supposed to be a petition? Me see no names.
Firstly, regarding gifting equipment, there already is a black market proposal request by Moody. Mine, a few others, and ATA customer support reps, see the issue is players do not deserve event equip in which they did not earn themselves. EX: Players who start the game today and rack up a lot of gold from hte or zta should not be able to buy a LB banner item from the feather event. Therefore a player should also not decide one day he or she is being farmed nonstop and trade his/her equipment to an alt, making the alt his/her main. Regarding a statement that volleys was a strategy the devs knew was our gold transfer method… this method is again as everyone says, HEAVILY taxed. However gold transfering through volleys was never proven an actual tactic wanted by the developers. There are many tactics we, the gamers, derived upon in the early ages of kaw. Stripping was even a SHOCK to the developers. Using the fact that we have volleys as a reason devs would support gifting is highly irrelevant. Next but short.. All items in Game can be earned by real life cash. The top event equipments are primarily bought through uses of max xtals everyday of the event timeframe. Also, if we use your list(with the addition of equipment) of what can't be traded, are we only then left with mithril, pots, silver bars, and bronze bars? Mithril bars are earned primarily by EE players. Yet, you're telling me, my high towered friend who wins every war can give me his unneeded mithril? So, I, an account definitely not made for EE can obtain the same equipment a dedicated player spent their kawreer obtaining? Also EE players already have terrible equipment compared to what is being constantly handed out by EB events. So, us eb fairies are easily able to obtain both though? This would practically be making EE useless. Anyhow, its great to see someone thinking of ideas… but there is a lot to consider. Adding this feature just isn't as easy as it sounds. It screws each side of the kawmmunity.
Great reasons! ^ but y'know it just makes the game more interesting. I find this game pretty boring now.
The issues raised by killzone are handled in other mmorpg games by making certain items locked to a single account. This prevents the trade. I see no harm in giving nml arm plates or even the items which you need for a particular bars of ebs.
@killzone I am going to try and address all the arguments without straying off topic. 1. I did look at the proposal for black market. I am not a very technical person (I put a phone in a freezer once cause a clannie suggested it would "speed it up"- curse u, Boba-fett). But logically thinking adding a tab for market or a gifting button that already exists in other ATA games, I think a button is easier to add. ATA does not need to monitor gifting, or trading through gifting, as it is consentual. Demand on an item sets up its trading price. 2. I do feel overwhelmed with equipment. I spent time and energy getting it. But I do not mind at all gifting it to a small starter account, or a person who is returning into kawing after a couple of years of retirement. I do not mind helping these ppl with bb's or sb's so they can catch up in stats faster. I also wouldn't mind getting rid of it for gold. (I need to upgrade so I can kick bigger ass). 3. If u are scared of LB equipment becoming tradable, let's block high tiers event equipment from being tradable or giftable. Easy. 4. Ee equipment is already useless. This current event offers an opportunity to earn banner tokens from wars. Which is awesome and shows that devs are trying to correct the situation. But there is nothing offered right now for mithrils that is worth buying. Again, I have over 2k miths I am sitting on from ee and pvp that I am not going to use. I wouldn't mind helping a clannie with it or trading it for gold. 5. As for taxing, the gifting can be worth 1nob an action. Like that u have to spend money to trade. Should make Ata happy.
In my Scheme(Auction House) You would not interact with individual accts. You would set a price for your equip/item and it would be listed in the Auction house with a 10% Tax. At this point any player browsing the list atm can snatch up the equip/Item if they can afford it. The Gift Packs would all be premium items that a player could buy for another player. This Scheme reduces alot of the abuse mentioned. Edit: If Devs want to be greedy they could even sell Auction House passes. A day pass for 10nobs or a week pass for 39nobs.
Not bejng rude,but, you do realize your Auction idea still doesn't change kver half of my response. IE; earning and selling equipment. 3/10 top 10 players on the feather event decide to auction their banner. 7/10 people can only prove by a hidden achievement that one will actually need to search on their profile to prove they are the real earners of the event. 7/10 people now affiliate with 3 people who did not participate in the event like they did. They did not stay up days and drop hard earned real life money for these banners. Their banner is still described when clicking on it as a top 10 leaderboard earned banner. But they may or may not have even been active during that time. I realize some people may not care because more event equip chances have been consistent lately. However that just increases the reasoning as to why this feature would be unnecessary. If given the chance repeatedly, why is it necessary to allow people the simple purchase of someones hard earned equipment? I think the pass is an interesting aspect;however, what is it really for? Im sorry before I started typing this I forgot to check whether or not you are who created this thread . So I shall respond in another post or edit.
if the owner of the equipment doesn't care to keep it, then what do u care if he gifts it or trades it?
I am emphasizing that this feature is going to be helpful mostly for starter or small accounts. Also for clans unlocking to bigger eb's. Like tsg requiring sunflare Bracers hitters in a phase. Like scrag eb's requiring enchanted rings.
This idea sounds rubbish, are you really that bored u had to think up this nonsense to post just for someone to notice you?
As Lili said, If someone worked hard for a banner that is now dusty and outdated why not let them sell it if they like
