Well, the PvP events work very well. There was indeed a gold bonus but not necessarily something that makes you want to do it for the purpose of making gold. What about maybe instead of a constant 2 week event, have PvP promos on the weekends for a few weekends and players can build up points for awhile without feeling as burnt out, eventually to receive a reward. Kinda like seasons in EE. Someone just posted a cool idea that you could gain some sort of relic, like the build unlock tokens from attacking others. It could even just be an upgrade token? Idk... This gives a reward that isn't gold related. How about making the gladiator blade permanent? This was an idea suggested by some players. It could of course be modified somehow, but it's a good idea. Being able to earn mith from off system PvP is cool and I'm sure would encourage PvP a little. Tightening hit range is an interesting idea. The notion that people can be dominated by players much larger than themselves can scare many off from PvP. Maybe some sort of equipment from PvP? I'm not sure how it could be implemented but it's a start. One huge gold sink is players engaging in OSW and stripping each other. I've always hade these crazy ideas that there could be rewards depending on how much gold you steal from a person. Maybe a top gold stolen leaderboard? I know these ideas are crazy and probably totally veer off from what the system is capable of, but just thoughts.. On the note of system EE wars, what about war xtals that cost gold! Make them 10b or something. I have no idea why war xtals never happened. I'm sure there's lots who would be more comfortable spend 10b on war than 0.99$. And increase EE participation has only positive side effects. And also there can be gold sinks other than PvP
Inferno, mith, banners, weapons, pots.. All the goofy promo stuff minus the childish promos maybe? Spy glasses? I'm just spit balling here... There's endless rewards that could be thru PVP only, you've proven you can drop specific items through PVP actions.. All we need is that opt in spell, and if people farm for gear, who gives a flying fig newton.. This game is just one big farm fest and always will be... It's time for you apes to start making it worth our while...
Also I know that war crystals have been talked about before but make it so you can win war crystals if you win the war (2 for every win) and make it so you can exchange war crystals for eb crystals at the end of every season, easy way to enhance pvp
War crystals would be great. I still don't know why they never happened. Make them cost like 10b or something
OOO LOOK DEVS A MONEY SINK THAT ACTUALLY HELPS WARS WUUUTTTTT Terra said in 5sec what you havent come up with in 5 years
Re: T7L3 Nuow Available! KC, another thing to think about as a gold sink, is player individuality. At some cool themed profiles that cost rulidiculous amounts of gold (50b - 1T) and things of that nature. Create a new market where people can sell/auction off their equipment. Maybe, to combat noobs warring, have a cost to cast WoC? Theres a lot more that can be added to this. Browse the ideas sub-forum.
And make it so you can convert eb crystals into war crystals at any time but only war crystals to eb crystals after every season If you can convert eb crystals into war crystals, no one will complain about buying crystals for ee and now not being able to use them, also makes it so you only need to have the eb crystals in the market place for nobs
An analysis of this response goes to show that Kaw can give two shits about growing the game and making it enticing for new players or the mass of kaw. They only care about the one percenter's who live on the margin of kaw ... The LB who could of guessed that? What a shame. O well
I do think it's better to pay actual money for the xtals so you can use them on ebs at the end of the season, but you should be able to win more then you lose if you win wars
