i think the guys who go over the marketting dont know much about games, instead they are just looking at how they can most effectively get the most money out of the game. they dont know how gamers think. ive seen this often with other bad game companies, and they dont last very long
Yea no sh!t, I thought this was a new thread then I saw Dec '15. Weâve got a lot of thread necromancy lately.

IN my opinion tho this mean that even as a marketer/investor you0re failing badly since, at least as far as I am concerned, one of the first rule about having a business is to please your customers⌠not to milk them away untill you have no more customersâŚ
But this is probably how business used to work in the past as nowdays businesses seems to be more about who manage to âstealâ (in a legal way) more money from people and the disappear or use another shop.
In fact you know what? Seems to me like the strategy used is kinda like the ones used by mafia in the old days⌠when they used to take over a shop, take all materials and money income as they could and then burning it away and restart with another shop.

or they would simply buy stuff from the item shop in game and resell said stuff - supporting the game while doing that and counter the goldseller all at once - or you wanna call anybody here a supporter of goldseller? oh oh i would be careful with that - on top of that goldseller always try to make their offer cheaper than the item mall cash - wich would be impossible due to the fact that they cant even trade it - every loss of a bot gonna hurt them hard and the number of 20 could even apply to a weekly loss (if IMC handles them properly wich i hope they do)
There are pay 2 play games that you have to buy and then pay monthly for and bans on those games donât stop them, i think your failing to understand how this works. Those costs just become costs for their customers not them selves.
most of those pay to play games have a free access nowadays - luring more potential gold seller not only new player - using this free access they can do as they please
Rise , RISE! i SAY!
âŚsadly people start necroing threads all over town.
Anyways⌠this is discussed to death already. WAIT and SEE what iMC does, then give feedback. Prolly and ânot makeing moneyâ for imc will be already some nice feedback.
If they enable 1:1 tradeign for everyone and make buy in shops a vip fucntion⌠THAT would be nice. +10x more trades in AH for everyone.

They were operating in those games before they had those free access periods. Those periods also usually have lvl caps and bots at higher lvls earn more. your failing to find ground to stand on here.
nope more likely that the publisher failed to get rid of those bots and punish them enough [quote=âsephi4321, post:554, topic:124971â]

you missed that part my friend
Thats a big if considering IMCs recent performance. Im still here because im hoping things get better but alot of the recent changes have left me scratching my head.
i donât see why gold sellers need to buy tokens in real money
they can easily earn millions of silver at nearly no cost and simply buy tokens from AH
of course the trade limitation will reduce their profit a bit
but in the long run, i donât think this a good way to prevent gold sellers
on the other hand, my friend will not even be able to help me hunt materials together because he canât give me the material if he gets it

thats sounds legit - makes sense yes - now you destroyed IMCs major plan with this lil argument - no clue if somebody above said that already tho too much to read through - and honestly i didn even think of that xD
Putting more restrictions and limitations on normal game features will kill this game fast. IMC needs to just be vigilant on hunting down bots and goldsellers to ban them. Do not keep implementing more and more restrictions please IMC.

if they even make that much silver from tenet gardens⌠then youâre right.
You know what this means right? Make tokens untradable! 
IMC i canât stress enough how ridiculous not being able to trade with anyone who doesnât have token. thatâs just oh my god.
what are your reasoning behind this seriously?

Like many people have already said here, 1:1 trading is a basic functionality of every MMO, it shouldnât be something too hard to access. Itâs ridiculous that BOTH parties need to have tokens in order to do something as simple as trading!
If IMC absolutely wants to keep trades behind some sort of paywall, Iâll suggest this: Free players canât trade, players who bought cash at least once can trade a limited number of items per day, and players with tokens can trade as many times as they wish. Basically: buying cash would permanently âunlockâ the trading option, just with some limitations, and having a token would remove said limitations. Sounds fair?
I still think trading should be available for all players though, putting it behind a paywall could backfire and make a lot of people abandon the game. So please, IMC, please reconsider this matter.

Maybe this is their plan;)
They want more players to buy tokens, but the market may be limited due to demand. With gold sellers, itâll create massive token demand, thus whales would more likely to buy tokens to sell for in-game gold. Thus more money for IMC>:D
Legit money too, not from stolen credit cards, etc.

Too many uncertainties. Quit making topics of why the game sucks/is broken because this and that MAY happen/MAY be implemented.
Sit on your butt and wait out the remaining 7 days. Without seeing the game running, none of this even matters, because even if you are right, it may be completely out of context.
well it is certain that 1:1 trading is disabled to free users based on the FAQ and kToS
this is why we are complaining. IMC said that we are different from kToS but in the end, weâre still the same as kToS
IF this is a feature in the game, myself an 13 other friends will (with deep sadness) say good bye to what was otherwise shaping up to be a stellar MMO.
