How to tune the token/shop system and make it more "westernized"

My only problem is the 2 days to receive from the AH, all the rest can stay for all i care.

Just implement everything stated into the OP into this game and I’d buy a token every month. As of right now, you won’t catch me buying one.

Nice thread OP. I agree with you completely. You’ve managed to summarize most of the problems with the token system.

Well, because these ideas are mostly came from successful mmo’s. I only tuned them for ToS.

The price is too high. Not even FF XIV or WoW is asking for that much money. Those games are superiors in almost every way compared to ToS. Why would I pay that much? Even subscription based game would be better then…but still not for 18$.

Game is free to play. You don’t have to buy a token if you don’t want to. If you feel the price is too high then don’t buy it. If you feel the benefits it gives are really important, then by all means get a token. It’s meant to be a very lucrative item. That’s how f2p monetization works.

The benefits are meh, why would someone even bother buying that token? I honestly don’t see the point to buy one. What for? 3 place in market? More dungeon runs? I can live without the small bonus, not even bother to not have those.

Well then don’t buy one. The token is optional. I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who think the token is a good deal and will gladly pay for it. I intend to purchase it to support the game. Also, if it is indeed not a good deal, then IMC will notice their token sales, and thus income dropping, and should do something about it.

There is no such a thing as a free game. If you think there is , you are mistaken and diven. Every game is p2p, so they can maintain their game and earn money for themself.

Yes, the current system is flawed and it wont last long. 18$ for a token is also a disrespectful price toward the community. This is indeed a facepalm price when you can buy subscription for AAA mmo’s for half of this money and they provide top notch services.

Please, keep white knighting out from this topic.

I agree, having combat stats purchased like mspeed and buff count is such a dangerous step into p2w, even if it’s only available on pve. It makes other players feel less successful when they play with the paying guy, and they want to draw buyers with positive appealing features, not through frustration. Convenience buffs like drop rate or less tax on market are way healthier
