A bad game is also bad for business.
@Mother1 My suggestion does not hurt the game in any sort of way. When someone buy like a certain varium package then the money is already in AE's wallet. My suggestion change the way how players spend their varium once they already purchase it. People are MORE likely to buy something if it cost them LESS. In EpicDuel a 20 $ card can only give you ONE good item (plus enhancement), now does that sound worth it to you?.
Lets say you spend 60$ on the prepaid card and buy the highest varium package which always comes with some kind of promo(armor), now you need to spend varium to get a decent aux+gun+ primary. On average it cost 995 for each and you just bought 3 so that's 2985. Varium enhancement cost from 1200-1700 so 1700 (10 stat points) for primary and 1200 x2 (8 stat points) for gun+aux, that's 4100. THEN, you still have to enhance your promo armor so that's another 1700. You just spend 8785 out of 10k for one full set of gear. And because you want to win so badly you spend another 900 on class change (bloodmage, tac merc) so that's a total of 9685 varium down the drain. By next format you need more power so you spend another 60$.Since items are becoming more OP, it'll soon reach a point where you need more then 10k varium to get something decent. The formula for a successful game is how good the free contents really is,if it's good enough, players will spread this game to others. More players= more chances of the game making money. If it's bad then you obviously wouldn't show it to anyone else.
TLDR (Too Long Didn't Read) a good game = more players= more money , bad game= getting not very many players and old players quitting = less likely for players to pay. Just take a look at the most successful games right now, the developers aim towards making them GOOD and it made them a lot of money in return.
@The ND Mallet Guy
The game has been like that for years now, you're a founder you should know this already, there's nothing the admins can do to change the fact that this game is still pay to win. True people won't buy varium as often to ENHANCE, BUT, they will still buy more varium to get more weapons and armors. My suggestion for this enhancement switch is meant to be use by EVERYONE, not just varium player, so, the chances of victory between a non varium vs varium is still the SAME as it always were. You are my friend, i know very well that you don't fight much, but you do like to collect items so this thread would not even be relevant to you.
My goal with this suggestion is not to help the game make more cash, it's to make the game itself BETTER. Any long time player would notice all the wrongs by now with the game.This section of the forum is called SUGGESTIONS, NOT "GIVE US MORE MONEY".
