• • TCG - SOE money grab: Looks like we vets were right....

    However this is a very bad and dangerous precident being set.  Lets not try to belittle it by saying how ineffective these items are and how harmless this practice is.  We all know what this is building up to.  People who are trying to downplay this are just not being honest about the potential effects this will have on the future of gaming. 

    
     

    I have to agree with this.

    I believe they're easing people into it. By making these items only mildly effective now opens the door for people to become increasingly comfortable with paying for items - and therefore encouraging people to become more accepeting of items with greater effectiveness in the future.

    I believe this because if it were me (and I had no scrupples) this is exactly how I would do it.

    All I want is a virtual world with a common theme where I can play a role with others in a shared fiction.  It doesn't have to have the best quests, but it has to be immersive.  I don't want to have to deal with RMTs, clans, loots, DPS, DKPs, headsets, virtual property lawsuits, powergamers, bots, and metagaming.  I just want a virtual world with a common theme where everyone plays a role within it for the simple joy of making it happen.

    Why can't I get what I want?  I had it before.  I know I'm not alone, because other folks enjoyed the exact same things I did.

    This is pretty much what I'm looking for to.

    I just want to be an average citizen in an online community, and not an archetypical hero based on someone else's preconceived ideas.

    Ah common now Suvroc don't let your SOE-hate blind you that much into thinking it will have RMT, as I am sure you also visit more website's then just this one and you already know for a fact that SOE is NOT going RMT with DC, there where a few 3rd party websites that posted false info about the game becoming RMT but that has been fixed by SOE by anounching that they will not go with RMT in DC.

    Afcourse none of use can look into the future as things MIGHT change, but so far the game is without RMT and many people have been cuaght up with those 3rd party websites spreading those lies about the game, probebly for the same reason as others that dislike SOE and anything accociatted with it.

    Anyway on Topic, I am into Superhero's, just not the once I have seen so far with games in this genre, as to me a game like CoH/V isn't the superhero type of MMORPG I would invisioned, and most likely both CO and DC will also NOT be what I expect from a superhero MMORPG.

    
     

    Easy there Reklaw. Please don't assume that because I don't agree with what they did to SWG and their new micro-transacation business model that I'm an "SoE hater". I don't like their business ethics and speak up about that. If SoE did something great I'd applaud them for it just as much.

    I honestly had no idea that it was already announced that it wasn't going to be RMT based. I even did a quick search before I posted to see if I could find any info to indicate otherwise - obviously it wasn't enough.

    Interestingly you didn't mention anything about the TCG part of my post. Has there been an indictation from SoE whether there will be on or not?

    Hey Suvroc, my sincere apology, it seems it was abit to early for me to respond this morning, as I found out I made a mistake, I was confused with The Agency, to that game they have stated (SOE) that it's not gonna be RMT, while numerous of 3rd-party website's/forums have said it will be RMT. Yeah yeah me was alittle blinded ....mehhhh...
    But as we know with these game company's they can change whatever and however they have planned things.

    
     

    No prob, it's cool :)
