@ voting
1. It's PR stunt to put someone who can be blamed later in charge ( if something go wong )
2. Real good old style election would use ingame terminals ( there already ben in game - older players remeber - voting terminals ). What better use of those can be imagine ?
@ TP fees
1. Socialistic and Keynes style idea based on economical ignorancy. There will be huge fall in number of teleportations as soon as it start costing something.
2. MA is running out of old 6M$ from 1st CLD's. Revenue paid by MA is close to innitial gain. So they need new dope. Smth like FED QE money printing. So they thinked out new one 10 M$ alowing them survive next few years. We pay for that.
3. It's literally not possible all that money will go to those 'new paid workers" i wonder how much %'s will get lost in ther porcess
4. All that will end that we will be paying for TP's with 24h/d event going on nearby ( shooting AI ) which means higher cost to play at reduced funcitionality which is simply higher taxation
When I was writing here ca.2 years ago that MA doing bad and need new financial miracle, that nerfing uber player and taxation of all of tehm increases i was pointed out, adviced to leave if i dont liked it and even get official warning of ban for constant negativity ( lol ). Now lets see how much of old players is still around. Don;t tell me about retention, ppl don;t sign off from good things.
Maybe game with lots of fees for everything, even basic activities, with more ppl is good for MA financials, but it is not game with REAL MICRO transacctions model based economy i was signing on in 2005.
Worse thing to wach is slowly painfull fall.
