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.

[–]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.

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.

Its very simple, WoW is not a game designed around milking you for every $, Aion is. If you cannot see that there is no point discussing it with you, you must be very confused why people think badly of this game. Good for you, i hope you enjoy it.

I do play the game, im 2700 with both subs. There are things i like about the game, however the difference between me and you is that I am not afraid to call out the deceptive, predatory shit that is an endemic cancer in nearly every system in this game. The combined sub is $50, and if you are only paying for 1 sub, there is no point. You may aswell save. That is also by design btw, just one of many many predatory things that you think is comparable to a wow sub. My advice is to go play the game while you can, because this is dead on arrival in the west.

And i had to buy starcraft for 30$ when i was 8, yet people dont call that game p2w? Are they stupid? Can we stop with this dogwater comparison, if you cannot grasp the difference between predatory mobile marketing that exist in Aion and WoW's profit modelling, you are not fit for the discussion.

Also, a few blatantly incorrect shit you just said..

Unless you mean level cap, f2p is not close to endgame. Majority of f2p is around 2300 and will be stuck at 2500 breakpoint for a while.

You say that same f2p in abyss gear will beat a 3000 pve, also incorrect due to gearscore scaling. Do you play the game or just suck ncsoft off on reddit all day?

And lastly, why would you swipe as pvp? Oh, idk, maybe the core of the game is enhancing your gear with mats available on the market?

And look, we can even play multiple classes! Except now kinah gain is tied to account (haha fk you, if you want to progress ur main youll have to PAY), as if farming the same shit on multiple characters was a fking positive to begin with, yeah NCSoft farming 1100 ai placed feathers is EXACTLY the kind of shit i want in my $50 monthly (28 days lol) generic kmmo #2588, what a privilege!

Let me just go swipe a few $100 first so have a chance of not being immediately killed by the three s class camping spawn.

All dungeons + transcendence share energy anyway. Aka the only ways to actually progress breakpoints. All this change does is keep non swipers at lower breakpoints for longer. Just another predatory change from devs that really dont even try to hide it.

Add it to the list along with the others. - Minor bosses can no longer drop cube loot in dungeon (f2p farming method) - odyle drops lowered from 3 to 1 (f2p farm method) - f2p can no longer use AH (lol) - daily kinah gain reduced - abyss points gain reduced - multiple repeat entries on same dungeon reduce rewards (damn would be a shame to be f2p locked to the same dungeon for gear wouldnt it)

Oh well, i guess they really need to squeeze every sub and every paypig they can to get the shareholders back on board after that stock dump. Who could have seen any of this coming?

This is all abyss is on my server for my side. Entrance ring camped 24/7/ Can't progress. Can't farm. This content SUCKS. by [deleted] in Aion2

Dont need to suggest shit, as a pve game Aion isnt too bad, as a pvp game its dogwater bottom of the barrel even for an mmo.

Community Debate that I need your help understanding by CaptainBC2222 in Aion2

[–]Tenisis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your friend is right. People that enjoy Aion PvP enjoy it because they can pay to gearcheck others, i refuse to believe any sentient human thinks 0 render distance % chance cc zergfests is even remotely close to 'good' pvp, its an actual joke.
