shop item % range can be rearranged by them to their please...
What is your point? If they keep switching stats on existing items people will be furious(no nugget players too). nugget wise it has already been pointed out that no one is going to pay €80 for a "mildly" better item, they want domination and they buy that domination, it lasts for few months and if they can't pay more they go back to the ranks of regulars with fancy scrap in their inventory.
Its an unfixable issue because the core cause is the fact that each new event set has to be stronger than the last, endless power creep renders and fix meaningless. you just seem to want to have the common shop items creep along with the event sets.
and it only took 6 years. after few events goldens will be outdated again and you expect them to keep doing the same with multiple items? you talk about the endless chase but do you forget that there are dime a dozen mmos like that(for example all the other inno games are just 1 game in different skins)? people lose interest the second they feel the futility of the chase so that is why you have to be skilled about it, not just announce it as the nature of your game.
Side note: if losing money is on the table then why not go with new content, new maps for adventures, etc actually making the game good and giving it ways to stand out has no less of a theoretical chance to bring in profit than your idea.
Free in the sense that they don't cost nuggets. Do you know how many weeks it would take to get all 3 golden weapons in their basic form, let alone the upgraded one? Also are you forgetting that you can buy mountain farmer's firearm with in game cash? If you can get the free items chances are you can afford to buy event sets. It will be very hard if you are a jack of all trades but if you are focused in one direction than it can be done. I only play 1 world but I know people who play multiple and they become dueler in one, FFer in another and worker in the 3rd, so they can try out lots of things and have no issue getting the newest sets relevant to their focus.
When people lack in game cash it just adds to the item diversity you want, they can't buy the newest set so they buy one from the previous event which is mildly worse but at least 50% more affordable.
speaking of "free" during each event their is 1 full set given out for simply being an active participant, this event it was the shepherds set. often those sets are "all purpose" or at least equal to one or more of the event sets. As has been pointed out there are usually no equals to pure nugget sets, at least not during the sales period.
that's a good point but i already asked to that ..... you cant spent an entire year hoping for the event set that you need.. player dont like subconsciously that ALL the items comes from a divine entity , is a game with an environment! let the enviroment have some purpose!
That is what markets are for, you trade for the sets you want by trading away sets you don't need. you work the environment to get more bonds for pretzel begs, you save up medals so you can work longer hours during the event, you work jobs to collect money so you can buy more items from the events.
Do you have a degree in psychology? your assumption about what hundreds of people feel subconsciously seems baseless. conceptually the events are no more "divine" in nature than common town shops which for some non environment based reason can only sell X type of common shop items ("you want a red rag? walk to the next town" type stuff) and never run out of stock. The events represent (at least on paper) large festivals and even have quests that come with them so they are more tied to the environment but as I have said the environment ship sailed long ago.
Hard to do so, when you act arrogant and jump to insults so fast.
Interpreting your posts is harder than reading tea leaves.
For many people here English is a second or even a 3rd language but they at least make sure to check the definitions,spelling and meanings in google. you seem to know how to do it so maybe instead of looking up "fixity" and "think" so you can copy past them for your insults, you should have focused on conveying your idea.
Unlike Pankreas PorFavor I will tell you outright that your idea is bad and even if inno was interested in saving the game your idea would not be the way to go.
