Poll: What should be done about DQ points?

Well you can't make changes without making people angry or upset, okay. However, that is way too far. The devs made everyone unhappy which is bad. Want to make money without people buying gold? Remove the ability to transfer coins into gold. Most F2P people would hate that (they hated that suggestion) but at least it won't completely **** people over and that would bring more customers than now.

No. It won't make much difference, just will be inconvenient for csers and f2p players as well, since ppl will be forced to sell items directly instead of gold.

As for DQ points, i thinks it's too early for panic. DQ system still works, pwe devs can implement something new any moment.

The DQ's are really a great help, at least to me they are. Have helped my dyein, and in toons' make-ups among other things.

There are several hidden matters besides the botting in pwi, to make the company eliminatin the dq system:
Why not thinkin on pwi's own interests? for example.

It is very obvious that by using rewards given by dq's; a player can not just dye or transform the appereance of the toons for free. Other stuff like gettin a flyer or a fashion set for free also counts here. This harms somehow the economy of pwi., even if some ppl dont think so.

If tomorrow another system like the DQ is created here, it will also have to be removed because of the bottin, then, players will end up on the same way

If pwi was really interested of fightin bottin, it should come out with another solution than removin a system that helps somehow, players who can't afford to pay for the stuff in the boutique

I also have another question besides the one that originated this thread:
How are those players who have been spendin their time and efforts accumulatin DQ's,
goin to be compensated for this loss?

Or pwi is simply sayin its famous phrase: "We' re removin the DQ system from the game and we apologize for the inconvinience".

As far as I know, yes it will (I have seen other games where CSers make trades with F2P players. That can prevent bots from getting gold for free (or should I say PWE wants profit too). Gold/coin trades via AH should have never existed in the first place if there really is a botting issue. Back in the old days PWE had their problems trying to make money through PWI, (I have a feeling how MY-EN got closed because not enough people were paying for the game). Now people are having trouble making coins without scamming / using gold to gain coins.

You don't need gold actually. You need items which you can buy for it. If you can't get gold but still need items, you pm a cser who has gold and ask to buy them for you. He buys, trades, you pay him ingame coins. Problem solved. Unless they make boutique items bound. But it would ruin the principle of f2p which they claimed long ago.

Of course you won't like it because you're used to it, but you're getting gold for free still aren't you?

how about add another poll to see How many people want to have DQ point back? As for me, i love to have random dye to make my crappy clothes looks better...
but in another hand, like others players had said PWI doesn't really take our voice into consideration, then why bother created a forum when no GM read them? b:shocked

Still no blog about the reasons why and when. Disappointed. I had hopes they would come clean and say tis all a big mistake but they are all to busy handling the release of the mobile game which is plastered all over the website.

They are probably just sitting back waiting for all of us to go away...PWI don't need customers..they need credit cards.

leave it alone for gods sake

I cant say im too surprised as this is PWI, they want to get rid of any hope you have for playing this game free to play. I dont mind playing a few bucks here and there and help support a game I like, but this is just a big F U to all the people that play.

You know what I find absolutely hilarious, the fact that this thread has so many questions and the player base wants answers. Who's not around? A gm, our CM, or even forum mods. *Pats PWI on the back* good job ignoring the problems like you do every single time a **** storm brews.

Even a post, notice even the mods have been quiet since the initial uproar.

Both of those are untrue. We mods are here. And I can't speak for the others, but Kossy, Skai, and I have all posted about our displeasure. If you're going to lump us in with PWE, at least get your facts straight. I might be a mod, but I'm also a person. And a player. So this is not true. Since you're wondering what the mods have done? We have made sure that sweetie spam doesn't derail this, or that gms won't close it for flames. We have personally contacted the GMs. What more can we do? We're players like yourself. If you have a suggestion, you're welcome to pm us. I won't reply any further here.

I am NOT happy about this change at all. And I have made that pretty clear. All the mods I have personally talked to about this are pretty upset about this change. The ramifications of it are pretty wide sweeping. It affects us too. I use this system a LOT. I care about this system a LOT. I'm pretty angry over this change. I won't go into speculation about why it got taken from us because I know just as much as you do about it. And I don't want to run my mouth about the someone else's intentions when I don't even know anything about the situation. So all I can say is if it was about bots, there are other things they can do. That this is a huge deal. And that I am STILL waiting on that blog post.

edit: And I voted for other because I would like to see it remain the way it is. Realistically speaking though, if we can't have it back I'd like to see some other rewards.

thanks....and yes they should at least replace this missed system...and i hope they do. have a wonderful day or night !:3

Lol. Well anywho all we can do is wait. I hope they don't change the dq points into something that involves arc. Maybe the'll put a new way to obtain event gold (other than Jungle ruins, that is...) meh..

DQ was the only free way getting youself fashion you like, and now you take even this out of the game? whats next, for opening TT cost 200k? PWI keep the fking DQ ... if its gone, im gond nothing more, you just losing player to player from making WORST decisions ever...

if this is truely about a bot problem would not a simple fix be just to make DQ items un stackable?
It would be a pain to have to turn in everytime you fill inventory but I would bet people would rather do that than to lose DQ points altogether.
Anyone see this as workable or am I missing something?

Waiting for famous PWE posting...
