Hi,
I felt that I should create a topic after I got some experience in the server. I suppose there are so many different people playing this version of the game just because they love all the things or some particular things that the version includes. So changing specific features of the game might end up with the occurrence of unexpected results that both the administration and the players do not want. However, as a member of this community, I am paying attention to a specific situation that is whether a problem or necessity which I do not know for sure just because it is a controversial case. That situation is the GP/Glory Points/Honour Points system that the game has for now. I read all the related previous topics in the forum so I got some insights. I understand that the administration wants to make the game remain as much as retail-like as part of their policy and preference. I understand that some players do not want to change the system and some want it to be changed. I understand that changing things in the game might cause serious problems with some chance. However, as a new player playing for 2-month approximately I started to be discouraged to play this server as the time passes by, I hate the system as much as I love the patch just because even though I have the all required Cera Medals and AP I cannot buy the end game gear, due to the huge amount of GP required to purchase the gear, to get competitive with the other players and have some fun. Which is the main point of a video game isn't it? To have fun, at all.
I want to present my personal ideas;
I-I assume that most of us know that no game can be extremely perfect, there will be always some issues after all as a video game is created by humans who can make mistakes at any time. I personally disagree with the idea of keeping everything as retail but I strongly support the idea of altering things for the greater good. I want to share a passage with you from a very beloved movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:
which, I hope, shed light on the concept of the excessive conservatism might cause as if some of you are familiar with the movie and the administrative preferences of Dolores Umbridge, this a simple criticism for the EuroAion Administration, please take it modest and serious. Flexibility is the key I think, but not wanting to contribute the hard work you should go through even for a tiny change in the game sometimes is a valid excuse but it is also really appreciated by the community if done properly.
II- As either I and some people want the system to be changed, I can also understand the worries of the high ranking players as if the system to be changed. However, I strongly find their arguments, for a system change, a bit selfish, deficient and incorrect just because as I read all previous topics these people reject a reduction type system change as the gap between players will get narrowed as the reduction method will be applied as a percentage. I can say that it is really something hurtful that the points you really spent time for are to be taken away so easily but please show some empathy towards the difficulty of being a new player and not getting a simple end game gear after you made a serious effort on getting Cera Medals and AP. Furthermore, applying the method for all players creates an equal environment as one positive, it creates an opportunity for new players to catch up on the fight along the way to the high rankings which ends up with more active top players meaning sieges will be fun as another positive, thus attracting more new players to the game as the third positive, it helps people to get AP PvP set much easier in view of the fact that hardworking for gathering AP and Cera Medals should be some meaning right? as the fourth positive, people who are not active enough to be cleared from the way which removes the obstacles from in front of new players to reach high ranks as the fifth positive, and maybe more I do not think of, more positives and negatives... These are my initial thoughts about the situation, it is really a fair option to lose if all others lose as well, the only thing the high rankings to accept is the small gap closure disadvantage that the % reduction system offers, which can be easily overcome if you are a determined player all the time you will keep the rank, being at the top requires all-time hardworking and you should deserve it, but being a casual player trying to get a simple end game set to be competitive and have fun should not require all-time hard work we are already deserving it by gathering all those Cera Medals and AP. As long as an action should be taken it will be either the change of the system or the conservation of the system, those are both actions as long as you choose to act to change or to keep. I do not say that the system change should be %reduction type, there can be various solutions to support people as a whole, that is why I am opening this topic now and I am kindly asking you to share your ideas, arguments and counter-arguments for the good of the community comprehensively. As one last thing, I am asking to whom opposing or supporting my arguments and the very administration itself;
If no action will be taken I will really sadly quit playing just because that as a casual player who enters every day for some time and wants to have some fun at all but cannot have it because of the restrictions and no-life requirements existing in the very game itself. I have a life going on in real life like all other players, some want to spend all and some want to spend some of it in the game if you choose not to take action the second section might quit the game eventually if you choose to change many new players might decide to keep playing, so int the end, inevitably, you will lose players as you cannot keep them all of course but the point is; in which scenario you will be able to keep a higher population as it is both players' and the administration's primary concern I assume. We as casual players really appreciate if we can have some fun playing the game for some time in a week. I will not make any further comments but follow all the debate for some time with the hope of any incoming change if any debate and change start at all.
Best regards to all,
