Oh ya I guess you are. Sorry I did not even see that there is a key sale since I havent logged for a week now.

What I actually wanted to say with that is that once they started the useles spend promo without NP, the gold price was dropping from 4m to nearly 3m and nobody was selling gold nor buying gold (why would you since you couldnt get anything useful with it). So with this strategy of removing the NP cards, PWI is simply loosing money. Now the key sale changed this a bit but as you said that has nothing to do with the spend promo.

People will spend money regardless because they're too addicted to rewards, the recent key sale is proof of that.

What would be REALLY shrewd of them is to increase the droprate of foils to match the droprate of other pack drops. This way everyone scrambles in a mad dash to buy up all the gems so they can trade it for coins, eating up the entire supply of new pack items for coins. This would leave the economy with a massive supply of useless coins and no incoming supply of new gems.

Then all PWI would need is a spend promo giving out gems at a 10% lowered price, and that will entice people to charge like crazy, because by then there will be so much gold in the economy that prices would be insanely inflated.

They would need to do this slowly though, so people eventually get used to it. So introduce foil drops to keys at first, then later into the new packs while slowly phasing out the old packs. Then gradually increase the drop rate of foils so people start consuming everything of value for coins.

Best thing about this is that they can increase the drop rate of gems in packs to set off more reward centers, but control its supply by also increasing foil drops and boosting the coin rewards from those foil drops, all the way up to 100% drop rates and unlimited coins from foils.

Main reason for that might be that you are a player as well. You know the game and all the ups and downs. Don't know if this game could handle losing you as well.

There are some people that can't play a game when they don't have any sort of advantage over other people but still...IMHO the only thing that kinda bugs me is that there are already that many NP-people out there. IF we never had those promos then we would still only have 2-3 NP people per server on average. Would reduce the endless QQ about being overgeared really, really hard. Look at me and the gears I have. Even NP-less people normally vastly outgear me, not even to mention those rbed NP people. Yet I can still hold my own. NP is just overkill, completely unnecessary. "QQ but others got it already so I want it too, the same way!!!" - grow up.

The players have not forgotten....

I told myself I wouldn't charge again to pwi and so far even with the keys, I havn't charged anything. I don't care if they sold the keys for 10 gold for 100, if it would take me having to charge to get them, i'll pass.
People who were selling everything they got from FSJ and UP and anthing else they could farm to buy gold and work for a long term goal, got halfway or better to that goal and had it taken away any possiblily of reaching that goal, has every right to be upset so telling us to "chill" isn't going to help matters

About NP and CS...

Point 1: I think that with own money people can do what they want without being judged.
Point 2: Is this game a pay to win? Yes.
Point 3: What the goal of a game? Get the last set of gears.
Point 4: End game make a player automatically bad? No. I can understand who play from 1 month and build up an end game toon. But there are people that play from 8 years and is reasonable that they know how to play.
Point 5: We all still miss the point... its a game. I play for fun not care to be competitive or I build my barb in a sense way.

Since there is about 0,1% chance to farm endgame gears i find weird they interrupt the promo for NP. Imho I don't like to cash, but I had luck with first 3 cards so I cashed for the rest of the set.

Last... I want to say that the majority of the people that cry about outgear don't even finish all the pve stuff (105x3, farm nuema, sky levels, ecc) and don't use auto pot with def charms etc.

@jsxshadow I outgear everyone else!!!
My gears are more OP than each other r9r3 +12 etc etc
