Corporate-First Mindset: if something marginally more profitable exists, do that instead of the kind stuff.Hardmuscle wrote: »If outfits bags were as profitable as you claim; they'd be used more often than gachapon. Right?
That's not quite the line I would draw since both are pretty constant in this community. I would say that one is constructive and the other isn't nearly as constructive.Hardmuscle wrote: »There's a fine line between whining brats and concerned players. One is constant; the other is not.
If they just went the full 100% outfit bag route there'd be no need for people whining. Charge 10 bucks a bag and they'd fly off the shelves like they did in the old days, as money whales sell sets to the gold players. If you wanted to maximize, you could go the route I suggested in my prior post and do bags and some gacha exclusives, but that would require you to actually read.Hardmuscle wrote: »~ I'm still waiting for your better idea. ~ How do you propose they wager a profit from their investment?

In no world is this question related at all to the subject of "Nexon Korea needs to stop putting everything in gacha!!!"Hardmuscle wrote: »~ and how many works of 3D art have you donated in the name of good business (or to keep an MMO afloat on little to no existing budget)?
No. In case you didn't read my post from before, here's a snipet quote that answers your question:Hardmuscle wrote: »You're avoiding everything I said to present me with a logical fallacy. Do you expect them to add these items to the drop tables; to be obtained from high level mobs; and the team who made them can go fly a kite in terms of making any sort of profit from their work?

In case you forgot, outfit bags costed Nx to buy just like gacha. The only difference is that they costed ten times what a gacha does for one set, and when you consider people who bought ten of them at a time to sell for gold you can see it being an okayish way to generate funds.Hardmuscle wrote: »When I asked if you've ever created a 3D model; I was only referring to having an understanding of the work involved and equally understanding why no one in their right mind does this type of thing for free. ~ Free to Play does not mean Free to Develop or Free to Maintain;
Never claimed it did. Just pointing out the things that worked well outwardly in the past.Hardmuscle wrote: »and Mabinogi Ambassador doesn't mean "I know everything there is to know about the gaming development industry". ~
Now im not saying what nexons intentions are im just guessing, if you had to choose between outfitbags or gachas which would net you more money, the gachas would. Its become certain they plan to implement less or stagnant outfitbags .

You can't seriously be that slow. Can you? What other method does Nexon have to reap a profit from their investment (aside from the seemingly worthless VIP service that's literally falling apart?).. ~ How do you suggest they make a profit from their investment if not from gachapon?

In fact..items from games are also being sold for real money. Not that it's legal, but the fact that you can and people apparently do doesn't matter.
and that would be where the UK commission could really get involved.The UK Gambling Commission already determined loot boxes don't meet the criteria to be considered gambling because "the prizes unlocked in loot boxes are usable only in the games in which they're won, and can't be cashed-out".
Well hey whether the game dies or not at least these gacha whining cry babies will get what they wanted
though they aren't as bad as the idiots who occasionally push for a server merge.
