No one can argue that Tree of Savior is suffering a lot lately, most of the problems isn’t limited to TOS but MMOs as a whole.
First thing we need to understand is that we can’t have definitive solutions right now, because those takes time and a lot of planing to work.
What we can propose is a set of “Band-Aid” to the staff to help them deal with the problems fast so they can have a breathing room to think on how to solve those problems later on.
What do we need to know about this fast solutions:
- They don’t need to solve the problem.
- Need to be fast to create and apply.
- It need to be something that can be patch out in the future.
- They can create a minor discomfort, but nothing that makes the situation worst.
- Can’t be offensive/discriminative/racist.
- You need to have a convincing argument to why your suggestion could work for now.
My Suggestions:
- Change the TP value of megaphones, 6TP = 3 Megaphones / 10 TP = 10 Megaphones.
You only get 5 free TP, and you can’t spend in anything useful except for Megaphones, bots are abusing this to hinder everyone experience, and by increasing the price a little bit can reduce the pollution, maybe not much right now because of the packs, but sure will help once F2P OBT starts.
- Create a 5 TP item called “Traders Token” to allow F2P players to trade items ( Allow X trades for X days ). But you also need to put a LVL restriction to trade, can be Character lvl around 25~40, because you don’t need to trade until pass LVL 40. Or you can put the restriction behind Lodge LVL.
Trading is essencial to a MMO the AH is good, but we need more. I won’t argue with IMC business decisions. I’m only asking for a alternative to give F2P players some agency over the game, thus increasing the acceptance of the playerbase as a whole.
The level restriction is a must if implemented this item, otherwise it will only give another exploit for bot users, we all know that this ppl doesn’t mind buying packs or tokens to allow them to trade, so pay walls aren’t working against them.
Only one thing they doesn’t have and we players have, the dedication and time to play the game. By making they wait/grind/play/level to be able to sell the items will reduce the number of bots, and bans will work with more efficiency against them, since losing a lvl 40 char that can trade silver means having to grind another char to lvl 40 all over again.
- At least for now, disable the trading of Tokens, most of ppl are just looking for easy silver, but unknowing helping bots/gold sellers.
Most of the players that are selling Tokens are those that got the 50USD/30USD pack and already have a token for themselves, so they buy tokens with their extra TP and sell it to earn some silver.
The problem is that most of us already have the token in the first place, and those that don’t, doesn’t have 200~500K to buy the token, so who are buying the tokens? Let’s see, who have silver to spare and wants to use tokens to trade?
We can always patch this up when we dealt with Gold sellers, but now is helping them. If you’re doing this unknowing of knowing this, please stop.
IMPORTANT: I WON’T BE REPLYING THIS THREAD, NOR ARGUING, OR EVEN READING IT FOR A WHILE. MOST OF MY POSTS IN THIS FORUM ARE BOMBARDED BY TROLLS THAT DOESN’T BOTHER TO READ, THINK NOR CONTRIBUTE WITH ANY ARGUMENT PRESENTED. FOR THIS REASON I WON’T BE COMING HERE FOR A WHILE, BUT I THINK WE NEED THIS KIND OF QUICK SOLUTIONS, EVEN IF NOT PERFECT, TO HOLD THE GAME FOR A WHILE, GIVING TIME TO IMC TO FIX IT LATER ON, WITH MORE STAFF, MORE TIME, MORE KNOWLEDGE AND MORE RESOURCES.
Please, post your suggestions too, maybe, just maybe you have something that IMC didn’t thought yet and maybe this is the solution that will make this game enjoyable for everyone.
