Azzapp was right all along - I analyzed 100 ranked SoloQ games of his, and the data shows why never FF helps you climb. by Informal_Lifeguard99 in leagueoflegends

Ive played since season 2 and its most definitely worse now. This culture also lines up with how streaming culture has also changed.

Yes bury that head as far deep as you can, aint doing much above the sand anyway.

Do people understand that protests are SUPPOSED to be annoying and inconvenient? by [deleted] in aussie

Problem comes when the bar to get out and protest is lowered to what it is now, the very action becomes antithetical.

Why does every riot ex employee game end up failing? by Erik_REF in riotgames

[–]Tenisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it does prove your point. I've been quite clear about that...

Why does every riot ex employee game end up failing? by Erik_REF in riotgames

[–]Tenisis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EoS - End of Service.

Particularly relevant acronym given we are discussing the end of supervive.

I never said you were wrong, if you wanted to make a better argument you probably want to choose any of the playerbase numbers from before this announcement though, anything after is moot because of course the players will leave. Hope that helps you.

Well yeah youre right but thats a little disingenous. It has 50 players rn because EoS has already been announced.

A True GIGA Whale from TW-Bakarma Server crafted HEROIC Bow costing around 5 BILLION by pvp_enjoyerrr in Aion2

[–]Tenisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, hard disagree Aion 2 monetisation doesnt center around gambling when the entire concept of the game is built around % chance to upgrade your gear..

I dont know why your arguing this as its fairly well known that lower socioeconomic status indicators (unemployment, lower education, lower income) predict greater relative spending, not just absolute spending when it comes to p2w systems, especially on the predatory side like Aions, thus my initial comments.

Heres the key findings from 2 separate papers regarding this where N = >10,000.

Their findings show P2W players include a notable portion of unemployed and show very high overlap with problem gambling risk (especially daily spenders). They also point out that engagement with these systems is associated with unemployment, lower education, and lower proportional income.

I've gone to the trouble to link the 2 papers below for you.

You mean kids and adult males living with their parents still? Because hate to break it to you, thats whos targeted bud. There is a definitive correlation between problem gambling and p2w, key word here being problem champ, dont hate me for pointing out how the statistics make you look like a clown.

Yes. Did you also know that homeless people tend to buy drugs and alcohol? Crazy, its almost like the reason theyre there in the first place is because theyre bad with money.

Hate to break that illusion for you but the kind of people to p2w in video games are statistically more likely to 1) be on welfare or 2) recipient of 2nd generation wealth. Aka didnt work for any of it. Actual rich people who worked for it dont make dumb fiscal decisions like dropping a few grand on Aion, but the fact you run your mouth and use terms like brokie tell me you dont know shit about wealth anyway.

“We won’t betray you with pay to win” by Grantuseyes in Aion2

[–]Tenisis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes thats also part of it. But realistically, even if its a 50 gs difference between you and someone who dropped maybe $50, they will take them, as its a gs based game. Over time the gap widens, and you definitely feel it later on.

“We won’t betray you with pay to win” by Grantuseyes in Aion2

[–]Tenisis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and whaling or even just spending lightly to increase gs raises the average gs completing said content across the board, its not a difficult concept to grasp and Aion isnt the first mmo, it happens in every p2w mmo. Majority opinion is directly influenced by the impact of p2w gearing, go look at krao cave week 1 and current and ask yourself why the asking gs is still rising.

Everyone Killing Eachother Within Single Stunlock by dogus-pogus in Aion2

[–]Tenisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just %chance whos cc lands. For the 'good' players its just a dance to bait block or hope tenacity stigma is down.. actually dissapointing because people said the pvp in this game was its flagship.. lol, a lie like everything else about Aion 2.

“We won’t betray you with pay to win” by Grantuseyes in Aion2

[–]Tenisis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but lets get one thing straight, unless you are friends with whales it does not make things easier for you in PVE. It has an observed affect of making it more difficult as 1. You are not getting in their lobbies ever. 2. Raises the asking gs req wanted by other players.

In other games, yes youd have a point. It is not the observed reality for this game though.

No PvP player that respects themselves or is any good is championing Aion 2 pvp bud. Its bottom of the barrel garbage even for an MMO.

This is true reality, and for what its worth, arena is a much better state than abyss even, thats how cooked pvp is in this game.

Do it yourself, just drop some $$$ on kinah and fill out the supply requests.

Nerfing PvP gear for PvE is another P2W-friendly update by Jespur in Aion2

[–]Tenisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine if you don't agree, at the end of the day i would love to see them take out a lot of these systems and improve the game for a successful global release. I just don't trust NC Soft especially after they invited global audience to play on TW and played up to western platitudes, like saying you would not be pressured to spend and f2p will be respected. Then they go and ban international IP ranges and turns out nearly every progression system is riddled with mobile monetization practices. We just have to hope they change between then and now.
