Best coin sink idea

Northern - Dreamweaver

How about instead of me having to have 5 fake facebook pages and keeping my mailbox full on all my alts...We just make the mechant sell jones blessing and omailies blessings for 1 million coin per week. I think the majority of players would infact buy one at that price, and it would make alot of coin evaporate over time.

Hey, at least you're helping the facebook stocks keep a bit of their value with that artificial user count.

... and this benefits the large portion of players who simply stack extra blessings in their mail. I'm one of them and I have enough spare blessings to easily last a year. And that's assuming I use both a Jones and O'Malley's each week. I'm also on the low end of the spectrum when it comes to people who have extra blessings stacked up.

Also at a cost of 1m per blessing, it's not something "most" players would do. Only those who are in prominent TW factions or well-off in PvP would bother due to the obvious edge they'd have over those without them. Same with the better merchants around if they were also fairly active outside of their shops. Aside from that? Most average players wouldn't bother at all.

I would not pay 1m for it.

I would not pay for 30 attack levels, even though it is amazing we get it for free. I'll just learn to play without it. Sure, bosses will die slower, i won't tank, it just means other people will have to pick up the slack.

Lol, I'd rather go without a blessing.

Would never buy a bless

lmao maybe if a was rich as **** id buy one but even then its stupid to pay for it

Terrible idea. Believe it or not some people don't even have 1m (like the low levels). For others that would be too much.

Something that was free going to impossible to acquire is just a no-no.

It could have been a good idea if it was introduced from the start as is (even if I agree with the others on the fact 1 million coins for a fee is too steep, even if it's an unlimited number per week -how would you make that feature possible anyway?-).
When you take stuff that was here for a long time and make players pay for it, there is a bad backfire every time. Just look at what happened when rank material (medals and other General Summer tokens were removed from the DQ rewards page to be put back into boutique).

The other part is that the communication between GMs, the CM and the developers is plain horrible. They can't even fix bugs, be them major or minor, with some plaguing the game for months or years. Implementing new features especially for our version is basically put, "a major pain in the butt" for them.

Finally, the most ironic part of that is that the blessings were given for "free" since you basically advertise PWI to potential new players via facebook, while PWE utterly messed up there when it comes to newbies (even more since the day this new expansion was launched -yes, I am talking about the DQ system as a whole and the accidental (?) removal of the supply stashes among other things-).
PWI is not focused on attracting new players anymore.

A coin sink would then have been logical, but it would eventually utterly fail, since you get the stuff for free in the first place and that the system can be really abused without limit.
It's like adding new taxes "for the sake of the country". No one in his/her right mind would happily accept that (except those who are not directly concerned by it in the first place).

5 facebook profiles X 7 days = 35 blessings
Assuming you want both..... 17.5 blessings
Isn't the legal amount of profiles/server 2? that would require 18 blessings so yeah, in one server, one profile wont have both blessings

Additionally, I find it hard to believe that the majority of players have so many profiles :b

We didn't have Jones or Omaileys when i started playing years ago we can go without just get the attendance ones heck i got like 400 of the both bless ones saved up im good for along while if that happens.

Nariin - Dreamweaver

Why do you need 5 fake accounts though..? I find 1 enough for many chars.

thegreatconquero

they use facebook to get blessing to invite more players to play pwi. i dont think they sell the bless for 1m in the merchants. free stuff is nice lol!
