[PWI] Player's Choice Boutique - Changes For Cash Shop

If you check on even the list that was compiled, I noted things to the side :

creysero

• S Chest - will need to verify
• A Chest - will need to verify

eternalghost

• Supply Tokens - need to verify ; has a high potential to be rejected

And if you dig through the people who commented, I tried to leave notes and thoughts as to why certain things couldn't make it on or that I felt that something could be rejected, but I would attempt to put it on the schedule. Perhaps I should have just posted in one huge post rather than commenting on each person's suggestions, so in hindsight that would have been better. The first iteration of the shop did have all the Top 25, but CN does have final say. I did manage to put some price tweaks on some items to get it closer to what people wanted on some items, but there were others that they definitely wanted to keep at a certain price. (re : price of Dragon Orb Packs)

I think I've mentioned this before, but the data from this is really helpful going forward and it helps in building requests for things and planning out prizes for events etc. If and when I do another one of these, I'll definitely want to flesh out a more robust list of items of "can't do these period" OR just make a list to choose from a predetermined list. But doing the later I feel like chokes out the ability to test these requests in a way that's framed as a discussion rather than just "here's a list of items to sell this week, here you go", hoping that they'll take. I do feel a bit conflicted at this point, but I'd like to know what would be better for you guys - a set list of items you can chose from that will 100% have no bounce back, or having the ability to request different types of items and seeing "what will stick" with a more defined list of absolutes as a guide.

EDIT : Oh, I realized something when I checked over the schedule again. VIP will have some changes that seem to run counter to what the stated reasons were form some items, specifically regarding 7, 8 and 9 star orbs. The orbs that will be added to VIP soon are limited to 1 a month and can only be used on bound gear. CN has not told us outside of "we don't want these in the regular shop" as to why regular 7 8 and 9 stars can't be sold in the regular boutique. My assumption is that they wanted a limited quantity of these items going out, as these have been tracked before when any unusual activity pops up (for example promos). So when players see them in VIP, it's not correlated to the Boutique voting, it's just bringing the VIP section up to parity to CN's.

Second Update : They didn't let me know this yesterday, but they will not allow Intrepid Devotion in the shop. Surprisingly, Spotted Felis still cleared (I had honestly thought they would be opposed to putting direct pet eggs in)

Also, we seem to have run into some issues the Wraithtouched Fashion set. In light of this, this set will be put on sale the following week (3/1) to avoid a delay in the schedule.

*sadface* We'll be sending off a new schedule today to pull the next items up!

As a reminder! Fantasy DOES NOT have an enhancement option. This will have to be a request put in to CN, to do for our version and will not come until a later sync. Though once that change has been applied, it should affect all Fantasy flyers purchased. Please be aware that when purchasing this item, the speed will be locked to 2.00/4.00.

Once the schedule stops shifting around so much, I'll go ahead and post the finalized items that have made it in so you can prepare ahead of time!

@parrot2010 Yeah it's weird how that one got skipped for upgrades in the forges since other flyers have received ways to equalize their speed with the faster flyers out there. We'll shoot out the request and hopefully there will be no issues with making the exchanges for them in the future but for now, this flyer will only be this speed

In this case, I completely understand if players would not want to acquire these flyers due to the slow speed, but this is a pitfall of some of the other older flyers that haven't received their upgrades.
