I look at a game like Eve, that has had a small, yet loyal pop, You may love eve, Or you hate it.. but one thing it has is loyal players. To me, this game is very much like eve. It is nitch, it needs the loyalists, and it needs the people that come and go. But what it doesn't need are people that hate what it is, and then say how much they hate it everywhere they go. I know myself as a gamer since pong... you know, the first game mass produced ever? I can say that so many of the games i have come across, i loved, and far more that i hated, but guess what... the games i have hated, others have thought they were the best games ever... *cough WOW.. not that it was bad, it just wasn't for me.. and i know that this isn't what some wanted, but hey it's what it is.. so why not make the best of it???



Ok... blah, blah... My point of the post. I said all that because one thing that bugs me about this game is the premium boosters. The whole +50%.. while i enjoy that as a booster in theory, I really hate it over all for the people that buy packs, and buy premium.

Especially those that buy premium to play private matches. One thing that totally bugs me about private matches is no C-bills.. And i get that you could abuse it in ways, But i'd have to think that there could be ways to monitor it. Make sure people don''t launch matches and not play, or make sure people get damage and such.. But for a game that if folks spent 15 bucks a month, and had a bunch of premium players, playing a private match, for fun... with those mechs that they bought, or earned, why should they not earn some sorta cash and be rewarded for supporting the game?


I really hope down the road we have PVE matches that we can earn cash from.. that i paid good cash to buy that content, and spent money on said mechs i am using to play said content. Just like i hope those folks that set up stock mech night, or make tournaments, or what ever.. and folks that play in those matches get a few c-bills for doing so, and maybe it could get more people to spend a few bucks on that premium time, to help support the servers.


AKA, play a private match on premium time, maybe you get c'bills.. or maybe play a private match with out, and you get 30% or something.. My point is, getting people to play under the private match system, and give a reward...


thoughts?

Why?

[Leone]

I don't actually play for the Cbills.

I mean, I appreciate em an all, but you really shouldn't play a game, for in game goodies. Play it cuz it's fun, and reap the rewards. Or, you know, don't if you'd rather run private matches. If they're fun, they should be reward enough in thier own right.

The reward is playing a private game with your friends, the way you want- any number on a team, mode you want, map you want, without having to deal with the potatoes or the tryhards.

No we don't need cash/xp or anything else than glory from private matches.
What I could argue for is that consumables should be free in private matches.

[xX PUG Xx]

As the above three posts say in different ways; 'tis but a game, the "private" sections rewards are it's privacy and sliver of customisation. The rest of the GAME should be played for fun, the CBills/XP/GXP are just nice by products of that fun.....for me at least.

However, free consummables in private matches? Yes please

[wanderer]

Nope.

You get private matches as a reward for premium, but if you want C-bills, compete for them like anyone else vs. being able to sit there with a bunch of dummy accounts and casually headshotting em for maximum anti-grind.

It's all to easy to cheat the system if you can farm privately. PvE if it comes along? Maybe.
