If you can buy the ticket ingame whats the problem?


because they already have to buy everything else offered in the shop in game, because the idea itself is dumb due to the fact the entire purpose of an event is to have as many participants as possible which creating an admission gate would be the opposite of, because the developers are pressed for time to do a dock club on sunday let alone create a special even every week to satisfy the subs.

I already posted above that the events could be forgotten about. Just the ingame building and an item every month.

so instead of an event where you might get something if you win, you just get an atuomated rare every month for doing nothing? yeah no thanks, again the entire concept is stupid for many reasons and again would demotivate a full 30% of the playerbase, if you want to be "special" you should need to do something in game to deserve the status not purchase a "platinum membership" card.

You can get a rare every month for doing nothing buy buying a store item though

Also, you get the status of buying the most stuff in store with the orange names, so it's not a big difference IMO

no, you get a small chance at a rare for each donation you buy as they are randomized what you seek is a guranteed rare every month for doing nothing and spending a great deal less.

if you want a pretty color under your name do something of note, either spend hundreds of dollars for a gold name, not five. usurp one of the existing retards for a blue name or join claeyt in crying for a green one.

furthermore the building idea is also stupid and a reward for those who do not deserve one, one of the things that have been on the table for over a year is the crypts in the graveyard being enterable only to the people that won them. when you kill an entire server like i did for over a year and a half then let me know and i will agree you should get your own personal spot in town to derp around in, spending 5 bucks does not cut it.

similarly there was talk of a casino which would require high affluence to enter, again pumping out a thousand affluence is an in character and in game goal attainable to everyone, not a "neener neener russia i am special because i swiped my credit card and you cant come in here"

this suggestion reminds me of when everquest came out with the "legends" server for something like 70 bucks a month, was always hilarious when those guys would transfer to rallos thinking they would rule the roost only to get their **** looted and ragequit within a week :lol:

soooooo, in game lootcrate? why not just go buy something in the cash shop? hell buy a few hat boxes and then email JC like "I dont even want this crap, just wanted to send you a few bucks for taking the time to put so much work into the game, ty" or, go kill some people I hate, I dont play but I have some **** left on chars, May even throw you an alt account full of 50 to all chars if you create enough drama.

I thought this seemed like a good idea for revenue for the game as well as something I thought would be interesting and enticing to players. However it seems none of you like it. But instead of providing accurate criticism to the idea or possible tweaks or improvements your are simply reiterating that you do not like my idea.

Darwoth, I think you just got burned in one of the most polite ways possible.

the entire basic premise of this mindset is the "everyone gets a trophy" **** which annoys the ***** out of me.

special items, special name colors, a special building only special people from the special club can enter.

yet they spent a small amount of money, and did nothing special. gain your status from doing something, not buying it like some ****** that buys stuffed animal trophies instead of hunting them himself :lol: :lol: :lol:
