its a long read, these replies take me a long time to form, but il ask the importaint questions here at the top, so you dont have to read trough a detailed explenation
would adding UL dmg enhancers be good for the economy, or bad ?
what are the most importaint stats on a weapon, assuming all weapons in this example have same dps, i belive most importaint is eff, and then dpp, is there something i am missing ?
what do you think people play the game for(the famous carrot)
is it becouse they wanna make money,
or is it becouse they wanna become stronger, just for the sake of beeing stronger, meaning they would still wanna get to lvl 100, even if they knew no money can be made
as i allready said, i was using L my entire life, the more i go back in time, the more balanced the gear between L and UL is, thats why prices of UL were low once, becouse part of the economy was buying L gear, but L isnt competitive anymore, and when i talk about strong L gear beeing added i am talking specificly about weapons, becouse it is the main thing that will affect your results, as for the balance of L, if it was so balanced, why would UL gear be so expensive, you agree with me that what is driving up the prices of UL is the fact that everybody wants UL, that tells you, that L is shit
well i supose the problem of no new players is just in everybodys head then
and the financial report from mindark is fake, they wanna show the game in the worst light possible so that they can positevly subvert our expectations, bigbrain 4head
i love you eve, you say the quiet part out loud
, so il adress it point by point
this tells us, that powerfull L gear is not cheap and easyle obtainable, something that you, and every other muppet was claiming it is, with one example,the 250% RDI gun
, tnx for telling us the truth finaly
who said the gear would not be crafted ? and you are arguing AGAINST UL
, becouse with UL, you actualy dont need crafters anymore, UL gear is a slow killer of markup, imagine if every item in the game was UL, why would any material cost anything ? it would all be a temporary small bump, as we see it now with tier comps, or whatever is needed for the weapon to be crafted, and then nothing forever, in this regard i ask a question, if MA tomorow introduces unlimited dmg enhancers, you think that will help the economy or hurt it ?
the materials needed to craft the L gear would have markup, the gun crafted would have markup, if you find a gun it would have markup, markup would be exchanging hands all the time, becouse a demand would exist all the time, i said that i spend 10k ped per day, from that i pay 1% in markup for the weapons, so 100 ped goes to somebody else, you spend 40k, for that 40k the markup you pay is 0, but you use dmg enhancers, so youl argue, actualy i pay alot more in dmg enhancers, well.. you are corect, dmg enahncers will cost around 0.2% per enhancer, so 10 enahncers 2% from 40k makes it around 800 ped, BUUUUUT, my tt returns due to shit EFF prevent me from using dmg enahncers, yes if i had 2% extra tt returns, id use them aswell, this is one of the reasons why stronger L guns come at the expense of people like you, unlimited ultra powerfull high eff high dpp gear, and im not even mentioning dps, id be spending more money per day, if L gear alowed it, but due to its shit eff rare availability, i am stuck at 70 dps becouse thats where the Mu of guns is low enaugh that it is affordable
im only showing your own posts becouse of how stupid they are, not becouse i belive it didnt cost you 100k, i will pay 100k in markup, id i play for 1k days, thats assuming i pay 1% forever, but i wont get any eff or dpp or dps for it, now if my L gear had same stats as your UL, same dps, same dpp, same eff, i wouldnt be complaining, the issue i have is, L gear is useless, i said this so many times by now and its always ignored, L gear could be given to me for free, and it would not compare to your eff and dpp, the fact that your weapon is T10 has almost no relevance, its the base stats that are the issue, and there sadly isnt anything close to your weapons stats available for L users, the eviddence that L is shit compared to UL, is the price of UL, and you yourself recognize the truth of this statemement, when you said the folowing
KIND OF, with he exception of markup paid
sooner or later, all guns will reach max tier, the only way this keeps going, is if new stornger UL gear is introduced, where new tiering process can start, yes nothing has markup, becouse nothing is needed, the strongest amps are either UL or drop from opening boxes, the strongers weapons are UL, (you dont need to tier them for them to be strong), what makes them strong is the eff, you recognize this becouse you never argue that a L weapon with 100 eff and 4 dpp would be shit if it was tier 0, the eff and dpp make it strong, the tier is irelevant
i will go trough every post made, including your most recent one, where they constantly argue, if stronger L gear is available, it will harm the game in some way, you even say it in the next sentence
for 15 years aprox, the balance between L and UL was there, thats why i said using L in the past was no problem for me, becouse the tt returns were same-ish as anybody with UL, BUT EVEN IF WE SAY, that for the entire time of the game, UL guns were always super strong and always saught after, that doesent make a huge paywall for victory any more appealing, in fact, it shows the unwilinginess to adapt, microtransaction games dominate the market, and those games are not real cash, but in the real cash game, we will go away from microtransactions and say, ok, this niche, unknown, ugly looking game, invest 5k$ if you wanna win, otherwise eat a dick
the mentality of you is the same mentality as from cryptobros, they invest in some project, wheter its a coin, a game, maybe even a pyramid scheme, it doesent matter, but now that they invested money, they have all the incentive to keep promoting the product, they cant honestly say, ah i made a mistake, the project is shit
they cant do that, becouse they have all the incentive to promote the project, just as you invested alot of money into your weapons, introducing "microtransactions" in the form of viable L gear, would make you lose money on your investement, so you will never promote anything like that, just as if you knew the game will die in 2 months, youd be the loudest one saying that everything is fine and that the people talking about "the sky is falling", are just mad becouse they are losing money.. im not blaming you for this.. but i understand how it is
which one can the game do without?
lets remove all ability to profit but keep the UL gear as something you can obtain, but all players will know, geting that UL gear has no effect on returns, all it will do is give you ability to do more dps and have a weapon that never breaks, it wont increase the Mu you find, it wont increase the tt returns
lets say that you can never find an UL weapon anymore, all you are finding is components for crafting L gear, and the L gear is used by every participant,the market flactuates all the time, making sometimes 100 dps very cheap, and sometimes only 50 dps is cheap, you have to adapt all the time, you can profit at any point, if you play your cards smart, no huge investement needed, just knowledge what to hunt, how effective you kill it, and how smart you play the auction determines success
so the what is the famous carrot, are people chasing UL gear becouse it gives them this ability to profit, or are they chasing it irelevant of profit
