Remove the Festia Instant prize event(s)
Comments
That event basically just encourage people to break the ToS by using multi-client and abusing the alts to get the prizes while it feels like Nexon isn't doing anything to actively ban the multi-client users because I still see lot of those players around in Alexina.
So in that sense, you can say that the event are basically rewarding players for breaking ToS.
last week there were 4 of the 100m checks that went completely unclaimed (unless they got claimed at the last few hours after I went to sleep). Just because other servers are full of cheating losers doesn't mean the event should be taken down That's my opinion though. I mean maybe they just give too few prizes for your server's population and they need to re-balance it for your server in particular, I don't know
screenshot shows the prizes so far this week
Yet if one or two servers suffers due to the event being implemented, would it not be wise and fair to remove it from the game from all the servers?
Some servers have way more players than other others and they didn't even balance the rewards for that. They've had to make community GM meet-up events for Alexina last twice as long or use 2 channels because of population. Why didn't they think to add more rewards for that server too? I mean it could be a mixture of both cheaters and just population size. I know people use alts on Mari too but we still don't run out of prizes until the week is over half done... and 4 of the biggest prizes went unclaimed last week. Alexina just has a huge population or a lot more cheaters. idk which is which but yes it is a tad unfair if they would close the event due to 1 or 2 servers. It's logical, but kinda unfair
17 winners each week for ~300 players versus 17 winners between ~600 players.
Who has more time and chances to get rewards? It's just obvious how bs unfair this event is.
I was thinking they could remove the limit since I thought that was one of the big salt drivers since "you can't get it because someone else already did". And it's true the salt levels would go down a bit but alt spamming in order to get a better chance at the very rare jackpots would still be an issue and it'd just cause inflation with 100m checks instead.
1. to remove the machine or make it so that it only gives out the last three prizes
2. make a hot time event where everyone gets a Wolf Tail
3. Keep Joe's shop so we have something to spend our leftover coins on
Optional (If removing the machine):
4. Add the Festia boxes (last place prize) to Joe's shop buyable for 15 coins
5. Add the Tia bag coupons to Joe's shop buyable for 35 coins
6. Add the expirable Full Recovery Pots to Joe's shop buyable for 1 coin
(in case we have an uneven number of coins and want to use them all up)
It was discussed when we had the previous Festia Instsnt Prize event as well. I honestly have no idea how they didn’t even change the event to fit in better with NA Mabinogi.
Also... the good checks being given out SHOULDN’T be part of the event at all, especially if players breaking the TOS to abuse multi-client and alts are likely to get them. In fact... any gold prize shouldn’t be given out at all in those events.
However, for the end of preventing further damage, caused by inflation, it would be necessary to remove it from Alexina, and fairer to remove it overall.
Nexon ought to just fix exploitative features on the basis of the loophole argument, and not if it actually does get exploited.
I want Nexon to stop giving out events like these that gives us a slim chance of 100 Million gold because WE ALL know bots will get a taste out of it.
Nexon wants bots to stop and get players to stop buying gold but this action does NOTHING to fix it at all, they are merely throwing oil to the fire watching it all burn.
Id like to never see this type of event that gave out insane amount of gold like this again, but i know this WILL happen again because you know....Nexon.
This. Tails just irk me due to the discomforting feeling that I am buying them from a person with a stranglehold on them (On Alexina, we have quite a number of individuals who charges exorbitant fees for even the most mundane and commonplace items, some of which are only possible due controlling the entire supply.) Gold is a serious issue no matter how I look at it.
It would also deter people from blowing it all the second they get it and the shop might see some use
