Joesixxpack Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) He would like graphic artists and animators to produce flash point, operation, and war zone content at a pace that outstrips cartel market stuff.] Tsk tsk, revisionist history. I didn't say that, hopefully you're talking about that other guy. Nah I'm not thinking about it wrong. You seem intent on keeping discussion at the development level which is but one part of brand/product/service management. Edit: Oh good, nerd wars is over and my job is done here. Carry on with the productive ideas. Edited February 28, 2014 by Joesixxpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Screw buffing it to 55...leave it at 50 as a way to begin gearing up for players...just drop new random speeders - desirable speeders...not like the Lucky speeder thing...and yes, Bioware is well aware of what items are more desirable than others, that's why all the REALLY cool items that drop from the CM are rare. You mean SUPER TROUPER rare. Bioware's definition for the standalone "RARE" word is laughable to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd resolve to run these Ops A thousand times a day And ask everyone if they'll carry me In some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the boss Long before my rotation tripped me Must I always run alone?

hadoken Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Actually, they can. Having more to do can add to continued subscriptions. In addition, specific armor skins that could drop specifically from there could have a nice asthetic the goes well with certain CM mounts, further increasing revenue from those that are going for that certain look. There are many ways to monetize the environment that are not detrimental to those that opt out of the appoach. Theoretically sure, but at this point they've proven they profit off the CM stuff (more money from CM than from subs). So what do you think they'd prefer to do? Put new skins on old content or charge you cash for gambling packs to get them? Well it doesn't matter what you think, it's what they're doing.

How do you know this? I think they would rather have both subs and CM purchases. Income from both aspects would be ideal in any business sense. I haven't bout a single cartel coin, but get plenty from having a subscription. That alone tells me that they value subscribers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still remains to be seen for how long that will hold and what's their exit strategy if it doesn't. I mean, assuming subscribers represent the bulk of the people who buy packs on the CM, what will happen if THESE same people drop their subs and subsequently cartel pack purchases altogether? I find it hard to believe that people who are F2P or Preferred - at best - are the ones dropping huge sums of money on the CM. Talk about living on a razor's edge...

Talk about living on a razor's edge... I have to agree with this. It's nothing to see players complain they can't get X item from a cartel pack, and they spent over Y sum of money in order to try to get X item.

Suzina Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 So glad to see u guys only care about trolling the boards... as always You have to admit, the majority of the "content" for this game, the majority of rewards, are acquired with money.

Wait... games are created by companies for money? /pitchfork Seriously though. All I pay is my subscription. There are certain looks that only come from the CM, but all rewards I have earned came from playing. Edited February 28, 2014 by Tygranir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the developers appreciate the boost to funding. I appreciate them. Without them, I would probably need a new game to play. Especially those that seem to think BioWare/EA are sitting around thinking of ways to con them out of their money, instead of trying to keep the game fun and interesting for long term profits.

It's nothing to see players complain they can't get X item from a cartel pack, and they spent over Y sum of money in order to try to get X item. It was even confirmed at one of the bar stops where they stated: Contrary to popular belief, F2Pers are NOT the ones buying the most stuff from the CM.

Posters like him (i.e. the one you were responding to) seem to operate from a purely binary approach to this game, whereby they don't acknowledge the validity of "liking the game enough to keep playing it, but still wishing it were better and so talk about it on the forums."
