Feedback: The Dia De Los Muertos event demonstrates just how much gold can be devalued. The Dia De Los Muertos event makes it extremely expensive to be a competitive player. Whether a competitive player consumes all their rewarded gold or buys more with real world money the Dia De Los Muertos event forces the west game into a very expensive online game category.
Regardless of what a players strategy is playing for free items is relatively easy but not very rewarding. To take full advantage of the Dia De Los Muertos event requires reaching into that bag of gold and tossing it to chance. In short the event devalues the player to have to pay so much real world money to compete. Either discontinue the Dia De Los Muertos or discontinue the real world sale of game nuggets all together.
Make the west game completely free to play
Disadvantages:
Advantages:
- costs of operation without an income would make the game a liability
- less development and attention to detail would need to be removed from the budget
- if a completely free game gained popularity gamers would not play other games that do provide a revenue
- it could cause a reaction from players in other games to want a me-too trend
The Dia De Los Muertos event made me think about the west game more and as a result spending my time to offer my feedback on the Dia De Los Muertos event.
- game play in the west would be a lot less tension creating for competitive players restricted by the pull to spend real-world money
- a free game would demonstrate good-will thereby raising the integrity of the company
- it could bring new life to an older game
- a more human element would be introduced to the game that does not revolve around real world sales making the game an excellent attraction to other games that do collect larger amounts of revenue
looking at this in a different context perhaps someone might say what you do for a living is indeed something that should be done for free... that changes things a bit don't it?
