Too many people were spending their reward tokens (Silver) on boosters. This lessens their need to buy them with real world money.
They want to 'encourage' the players to spend them on the other items in the shop. The temp build items, the Forge-Only Decos, Forge Catalysts, the mid-tier Build Materials (Does ANYONE use those?), and the regular building material sacks. These clearly don't get purchased as often as the Event Tools / Boosters. They want to change that.
From their point of view, they see this as a loss. Back when the rewards were set and delivered to us, they could control the percentages. You WILL get a total of 250 Rolling Shields, and no more. You WILL get 25 fusion coins, even if you don't want/need them. You WILL get 6.5 days of VIP Time even if you are sitting on 2.25 years already.
It seems that they did the old spreadsheet comparison and the sales are not "balanced" to what they want them to be. So, they will take them away until such time as the balance is restored.
Now that I read the above, and give it some additional thought, I have a prediction.
The items will be returned, with new limits on them. Those limits set will be passed on to all servers. The days of unlimited tails and chests will be over. This does fit another of their often displayed practices of doing something TERRIBLE, so they can "give in" with the less terrible situation and claim they "listened to the feedback of the community". Reality is, they always meant to end up where they do.
I do hope I am wrong. I would prefer to see everything go back to where it was for ALL servers. But, history speaks loudly.......
Sleep well.
I'll most likely kill you in the morning.
You'll never make everyone stop spending.
The spending of the players that really matter are enough to keep them afloat
The biggest spender yet has spent close to 6 million Euros on the game
Someone choosing to not spin 450 tix won't make GGS bleed
So lets look at what they remove and which players it effects:
Time 30 minute skips, 60 minute skips, 5h skips and 24 hour skips
Horsetail Banners and Kings Banner
Royal Khan Chest, Chest of the Shogun and Dignity of Berimond
The questions are:-
Which type of player does it effect the most the non ruby buyer, the occasional ruby buyer or the ruby buyer?
Do you even think a ruby buyer opens the blacksmith shop?
Do you all think the ruby buyers are making any kind of noise about the loss of these?
This change for me will stop me playing as there will be no way to keep up in the events at all unless I use hard cash to purchase some or all of above. I have just been thinking about what I spend and on average it is £5.00 each month and I have been playing for 6 years so £360. Plus I had an alliance subscription for a couple of years and there is outers as well so that is an under estimation.
So what about other online gaming that don't claim to be free to play and yes you have the cost of purchasing games as well here, but the variety is massive.
6 years of Nintendo Switch £107.94
6 years of Xbox live gold is £239.94
6 years of PS plus is £299.94
In fact looking at what I have spent this is now annoying me. I can get a better gaming experience elsewhere with more variety and less hassle with no changing the goal posts to extract more cash out of me.
Moderators please note that this is a comparison and not a recommendation they are just my own thoughts so please do not remove this post.
