According to some ex-botter, the higher the price, the better. It keeps bots out actually.
Either way, I would support this game to be a buy to play. I mean, it already is lol.
Slap a price tag on the game, unlock trade for everyone. Keep the bots at bay and wiola.
might as well we all enjoy the game till it lasts
but f2p makes imc earn more, itâs still a business one person who mentioned it is right, theyâll do anything to maximize dze profit
Thereâs an intense population right now. If you just set the price point for the game where it is more than $10 so it hurts the botters every time you ban them then it would keep them out.
You can make revenue from opening out cash shop and stuff. You got a crazy amount of people that want to buy TP just for the enchant scrolls << me
F2P doesnât really translate into more profits. Itâs just the easiest way about getting players to play your game. Itâs especially popular with noname companies in which they probably wouldnât be able to get anyone to buy their product so they are forced to make it f2p.
ToS is different since it has recognition of being a RO successor.
Black Desert Online costs $30.00 minimum and sold 400,000 copies already.
yeah itâs too late now 10 days left, and someone said tos originally made early access/beta or whatever this is 3 months and people voted it to one month instead, anyone have a link of that ?
Screw F2P, screw B2P, go full on Sub! You wonât need to IP block certain regions as they wonât pay for it anyways. Make them pay, they wonât come. Open the door with options, theyâll flood the gates and still not pay a thing.
On a related note: I would much rather B2P then F2P, but with a much higher price point. Granted Iâve spent about 120$ on the game already. I havenât been this addicted to a game in a very long time. Kudoâs on that.
B2P wonât help with bots and gold sellers. Take a look at FF14, GW2 and heck even WoW. The only way we can help to clear those pests away is to make sure nobody buys anything from those websites and make them invest money for nothing.
Now imagine what will happen when it goes f2p, it will be too much for IMC to control they canât even control whatâs going on now, you think the game will be enjoyable when those gold sellers and their bots will be multiplying like rats
EDIT: b2p wonât solve anything I know, but going f2p will just make the game from barely playable to unplayable , and people saying the game is just gonna get worse than it is and just let it go f2p , so basically instead of trying to control the bleeding we just open up the wound more
Large population = Gold sellers and bots
Low population = No Gold Sellers and bots
Large population = Game remains active
Low population = Sad to say, game will close
The gold sellers are like cancer to the MMO community with no cure to it. It is true after OB the game will become worse since they can just make infinite amount of accounts to spam the chat and bot. In fact, the spamming of chat isnât toxic at all and we can always ignore those and switch off the chat bubble but just imagine the moment u step out of town as a newbie u see the whole map cramped with toons and they wont reply to your party pls request lol. stuck as a newbie for life.
Back to topic, going B2p will not help, going p2p on a mthly sub will not help either and WoW is a very good example of this. The only way to help this situation is that IMC works on banning actively rather than focusing on new contents now. And as players, stop patronizing gold selling websites even if they charge only 0.01c for 100k or more. put them out of business in tos and they will retreat in time.
Guess you guys missed the memo, but the reason bots are so rampant is because of an exploit that allowed people acquire founders packs without actually paying for them.
If they donât find a better way to deter bots and spammers, new ToS players are in for a world of pain when this game goes F2P.
What f2p games would those be? Because on average f2p games are â â â â . With a few exceptions of course.
I mean thereâs nothing wrong spending 10-20 bucks once to play the game at least botters or gold farmers would think twice cause if IMC starts to react faster to bot reports and ban them asap theyâll be forced to keep paying 10-20 bucks over and over again, if it wonât stop them from buying at least IMC keeps earning whenever they buy a new account. And these SJWs think I just donât want to interact with free loading f2p peeps, itâs not that itâs damage control. it;s not about stopping bots , itâs about limiting them gahd canât these SJWs understand, you think IMC can handle at this moment the amount of accounts for botters to be created every minute, theyâll reproduce faster than they can ban them. they canât even fix the fps optimization, those long range melee hacks thatâs been there since cbt, thatâs one of the few hacks that iâve seen bots use.
hearthstone is f2p scrub
Yes, and hearthstone is also a card gameâŚ
Honestly, the ONLY reason why there are/were so many bots during the early access itâs purely because of the easy fraud thanks to Steam. Let alone the Brazilian payment exploit.
