simple solution to 1:1 trading restriction
- give it for free to everyone.
solution for bot
- actively banning or at least hire 1-2 person per server to ban bots
- captcha like in other threads
solution in getting income without being a p2w
- sell cosmetic and emoticons for $5 (15-30 day rental) or $15 (permanent) and can be shared to all characters in a team
- different kinds of mounts (reskin of some mounts to look cool or cute)
- unique hair colors or styles (moving hair or changing hair colors)
these kind of solutions are found in many threads. ToS is a good game and they can exploit it by selling good cosmetics and pricing them for $5~$25 each and people wont bother it since the game is good
if the game is very good heck even a $50 emoticon wouldn’t bother them as long as it is not a simple emoticon. its like $20 for the emoticon itself $30 for supporting the game because it is good
in Dungeon Defenders II (i keep giving this as an example) an all black costume (design is like the universe) cost about $20~$40 and people dont mind since it is a f2p game but there are still people complaining (duplicate costume drop when opening a gacha type of item).
Path of Exile now this is a good example. everything is pricey but people dont mind because the dev and staff are doing their best to provide content to players. all cash items are cosmetics and storage space increase.
i think i saw one that cost about 12,000 php ($300) which is a bundle of items that i dont know what but i see people buying it in the forums (they get a title in the forums saying they supported the game by buying that bundle)
