Warning: Blessings nerf headed our way

[Cahaun]

I think plat is not the only issue, gold rewards are an issue too. If you got 50 toons, then you're getting 50k+ per day at a minimum for doing nothing. I work my butt off as a Merch to make gold. I know others who farm to make gold. If folks are just getting lots of free gold, that hurts the economy. I think both plat and gold should either be eliminated from the daily blessings, or they should both become much more rare. The main reward should be elixirs. As we all know, the main reason plat rules in PL is because of the elixirs that can be purchased with it. When you play with elixirs, you can farm faster and you can get more pink drops because of the increased luck. So no need to give out the plat itself, just give the elixirs. Then it cannot be abused.

The economy in PL was already out of wack. Drop rates for Glyphic steels make Nuri's Circus crafting impossible, the mobs in Humania are too tough to farm it properly, Mount Fang is great now that people have a chance to get good gear from Nuri but Edward is still doing massive damage to elixered people, and small things but that gets some of my thoughts. :/

I thought it was fine the way it was. Work with it noobs.

I would also rather have a 3X combo, maybe make a 4X combo, or lower the platinum amount to 15-20.
ALSO I would also rather have some rare pinks that I could sell.

That's why in an earlier post I suggested changing the gold rewards to XP, like DL does. In DL, you get 50 XP per day as a daily reward. Hopefully in PL it would be a little more, since the overall XP requirements are so much bigger in comparison, but I'd rather have even just 50 XP than 1000 gold. Plus, an XP reward isn't exploitable obviously.

Rewards should be XP, elixirs, and vanities.

Oh this explains what happened to me last day 5
7 plat, 7500 gold, 2 shields, and a 3x on a twink i never go on. I was mad! Then I bought my 5th Halloween pack, and got the exact same things as my fourth one......I love my luck!

[Like-A-Boss]

DONT MOVE THE REWARD AWAY THE MOST I GOTTEN IS 1 PLAT AND 3x COMBO, plz, I havent even gotten the shield vanity yet..
Its hard to play 5 days in a row..

<sighs> I was probaly the biggest supporter of a plat reward. I know I argued hard and long for the implementation of some kind of plat reward for players. Especially those in countries where they don't have access to credit cards and for younger players who don't have access to a credit card. I have several of them in my guild. I watched time and time again as players fell for the Plat Scams and I thought that a plat reward would be a great way to stop this.

If you all have noticed, there has not been nearly as many "I was Scammed" threads started since the daily blessings started. Also there seems to be fewer Plat for Gold scammers hanging out in Balefort Maybe its the elixirs, maybe its the plat. I don't know. I do know that a lot of the folks that I talked to, usually wanted just a specific vanity item, like the Crimson Holo Shield, Pet or a Thrasher.

That people would exploit the reward system is foolish and greedy. They only end up ruining things for themselves and others. If the plat system hasn't been nerfed, I feel that it should be. My suggestion is that the Plat reward be scaled so that you get either 5 or 10 plat, and that Elixirs should become the Main Reward!!! I know I was surprised to see that the maximum plat reward was 30 plat. I expected it to be more along the lines of DL and to be only 10 plat maximum.

I also feel that only toons above level 30 be allowed to get the plat reward. I think that this might help to deter the "Plat Farmers" I honestly regret that something that I argued so hard for in an effort to help others, has been exploited to the point that STS has to do something about the issue. It is an exploit and I believe that if a player created multiple toons for the specific purpose of collecting plat, then the accounts in question should be banned.

I hope that the plat farmers enjoyed their Ill Gotten Gains while they had them. I will now feel sorry for the players who, if the nerf goes through, will now find it harder to save up plat for such items as a Thrash or Pet.

Doesn't seem hard to me.

[Arexos]

Ugh, I've never gotten platinum before :/, just sucks for it to be nerfed because of the exploiters..

[razerfingers]

Um, dont nerf gold part tyvm. Its the only way i can afford my 56/58 nuri glyph wand set and my SBL and my artisan so, i say keep it at 1k or even 500 gold but dont take it away because im sure the PL economy is too far gone. Just like americas economy(sarcasm so i dont get flamed ) anyways yeah keep the 1k or make it 500 gold. Its only thing keeping me logging in besides my buddies like um my guild! ARG. Also i dont like 10k+ per level it gives me jo intrest in leveling. Id love to play new dungeon but mobs so far apart id rather do mega maze or magic castle lol.

Here my idea :

On your day 5 you get to choose from these options :
Gold / Plat - More to gold, less to plat. Like for example 5% chance for 30 plat, 60% chance for 2500g.
Vanities / Elixirs - Either Vanity shields or Combo Elixirs.

[Otahaibab]

Well make it so you only get the blessing on one character per account.
That way you cannot exploit plat(keep the 30) and people cant trade plat so its kinda fool-proof (waiting for someone to find a major hole in my idea lolz)

[Waug]

shouldn't nerf plats properly, cuz players who are playing for a long time and can't buy plats, should have the chance to buy plat items occasionally. rather make it more rare.

The basic mistake sts did - the chance of getting all types of plat rewards are same. it should be like pink drops in pve. more plats less chance to get it.

as justG said if its exploitable peoples will exploit it, by creating toon armies, solution is make it possible to get plat only in 1 char per account say max lvl or main.

[Technique]

I didn't read thru this whole thread but instead of changing the rewards how about making it so you don't receive platinum unless the character is over say level ten or even twenty? This way it would prevent some of the exploiting but still keep the platinum rewards.

Honestly, from what you have written here, the PL community would be better if you didn't log in. You obviously don't enjoy actually playing pocket legends, maybe you should find another game.

[Ortalan]

Maybe it's just coincidence... but I have 16 toons on which I collect blessings, and in two collections since the last update, not one of them has received a 3x combo elixir.... I agree that combo elixirs should be best reward. I know I like them more than plat reward.... But it sorta feels like 3x combo blessings got nerfed recently, too. Or maybe I just had bad luck? Anyone else have any observations about blessings these past two days?

[Energizeric]

How about you can only get blessings for 5 toons each day, but it's up to you which 5 you want to choose. So it can be your twinks, or your mains, or whichever, but once you reach 5 you cannot get anymore that day on that account.

[Steverd]

Here my idea :
On your day 5 you get to choose from these options :
Gold / Plat - More to gold, less to plat. Like for example 5% chance for 30 plat, 60% chance for 2500g.
Vanities / Elixirs - Either Vanity shields or Combo Elixirs.

YES, This is a great idea!
I was thinking something like this, since the character I want to play that day usually never gets the 3X combo.
How about instead of platinum you get some type of daily bonus points that you can spend on special 24hr Elixirs.
That way I can pick the Elixir I need, XP or Combos and put it on the character I want to play that day.
Or maybe people could trade the daily bonus points in for Platinum (at a higher rate)

finally. I love you <3

[gibol1412]

Why "no plat users" have to suffer because some rich people want to blow system? First Tapjoy gone now that? I got 5 platinum now on my account. I'm not happy about that.
