Unfortunately, it seems to work as a business model. Not gonna lie, I'm still waiting for that vamp gacha...
But no, i support this- i wish there wasnt a gender lock or a race lock on the cloths.. Its kind of annoying special when you get that rare outfit from a gachupon but its for the other gender
If the gender lock was off- i would be able to wear so much stuff since i have half male and female clothing lol.. as for the race part though as i said, Its very annoying when your a giant and you cant weird half the things anyone else could.. ;_; Giantist much Nexon...
(Actually, after a while of thinking, I'd like more unisex hairstyles even more.)
I was about to say xD its only the hair style.. i cant remember if its coupon ones or not though- either way, thats a waste of money but real life and in game money..
Yes, the 3D models may be different, but what I meant is that those different 3D models already exist (no extra modelling work), so why not merge all the 3D models under one universal item? If a female human wears it, use one 3D model. If a male giant wears it, use another 3D model. etc. I'm wondering why they decided to divide the equipment by race and sex just to have more items.
Revamps cost money. Nexon probably figures its not worth their time updating old content because no one will use it in comparison to they're "higher" quality gachapon items.
I doubt they would event take the models/textures if you made them yourself lol (just random thought)
this. it's all about the least amount of effort for the most amount of revenue.
I do understand it, but there doing the same amount of work for a new outfit then a old. The only reason i could see it being more effort then what its worth is because its already in game so they would have to change it, but other then that, a revamp of a outfit would be the same as getting a new outfit- Just they arent making money for it.- Though the hair styles if they did it with those they would make some money threw pons. i understand it wouldnt happy and its to much effort then what its worth, i honestly dont see mabi lasting that much longer if they keep throwing gachupons at people, in and out of game. Its just a personal thought on what i think would be nice to have, thats all.
How patronizing.
Short-term profit (or even long-term profit) is not always in the best interest of the vendor or the customer. If Nexon keeps trying to make a quick buck with events and cosmetic changes, while neglecting the core game mechanics/interface/engine/content, then eventually the Mabi userbase will evaporate, the game will be closed down, and the shareholders will lose a revenue stream. Runescape managed to evolve and stay relevant, even popular, by updating their game engine and content.
Even a revenue stream that seems to be sustainable, may only be preying upon the addiction or impulses of the customer/victim. The drug business is an example, and predatory micro-transaction games from studios like Zynga are other examples. The hired developers might even be abused, then replaced, in the quest for better profits. The dev notes from the chain event show how they were crying and being kept from their families. If profits come first, then this game turns into a machine of pain running on the tears of the addicted, bamboozled playerbase and the enslaved developers.
