    Lightbulb Benifits for Non-Plat Users!

    Hello.
    I'm a farmer and I don't want to spend my real life money on this game for Platinums, But Don't you think there should be some benifits for us. We do a lot of hard-work in running hauntleds to earn Hauntled coins, Do daily bard for Story tokens and the newly released currency "Drankin Teeths".
    What about getting some benifits from these tokens/coins/teeths? You can't waste them only on pets or some weapons that are not useful at all!
    1)Like when running arena, elite runs we need revive if we die during an intense run. If we can revive using 5 story tokens , 10 hauntled coins or 1-2 drankin teeths, It will be nice .
    2) As many posted already, Buying elixirs using the same Hauntled/Story tokens will be cool.
    3) Opening Lockeds:- Everyone wants to try his/her luck by opening crates. There are elite chests but IMO they got a really low chance on getting an Arcane/Mythic stuff. And If we're already a Non-Plat user, who wants to waste hardly-earned 200k or more on opening these chests???. If locks can be unlocked/opened using 30 story tokens, 30 hauntled coins, or 5-10 drankin teeths, That will be aweosme.
    4) Respec:- No one can wait 1 whole month for the Respec weekend and change build. These respec should be buyable by using 100 story tokens/50 hauntleds/20 drankin teeths.
    These are the basic problems that I or any other Non-Plat user will be facing.
    Many people out there will not agree to me. But" How much benifits should be there for the rich dudes out there who can waste money on the game".? Come on, It's a game and It should be balanced.
    Thanks

    The only benifits that sts gives for non-plat users are the F2P game that they offer.
    Being able to play without spending real money is the sweetest thing on this game. O*C and other mmo for mobiles needs some one time app purchase to play. We are thankfull for sts to make F2P games like this.
    And those players with OP gears that bought plat not only to be OP but also supports sts. The real money they use is used by sts to pay for their staff and to feed their family

    I agree, and yes I understand u. But don't You think everyone wants to compete in Endgame PvP or Wants to acheive all PvP ap's?? PvE is easy even without mythic/arcanes and all. Or removing PvP ap's can solve this problem.. And no one wants that!

    Do free platinum offers, that should get you enough platinum to revive and buy a respec.

    Cero nailed it here. We play for free. You won't have the best gear or be a pvp powerhouse, but you didn't spend any money on a great game. In order to survive they need people to spend money. If anything please reward the spenders. Keep this game running for cheap people like me lol.

    There are plenty of competitive players in PvP who don't spend plat and have worked they way to getting the best possible equips. There are also plenty of good PvP Players (like Cero) who PvP without the best possible equips and are very successful.

    You have some great suggestions, and maybe one day they'll be implemented, but not before STS is able to create a new more profitable revenue stream to replace what they'll be giving away.

    The only benefits non-plat users have is they have more money to buy bacon with.

    I don't pay a cent for this game, but I manage fine. The game is nothing for as a time-waster, an option to escape reality to pursue your own goals without penalty.

    The game is designed to make money. I'll accept that. I play for free anyways, what am I losing? Only my time.

    For the people who spend thousands of dollars on this game, kudos to you all. Thanks for keeping the game free for all of us f2p people.

    You have to pay to a premium pro. You're a user who doesn't pay and should be happy the game is free like cero said. People who pay get the better stuff because they paid. I also don't pay and I don't think we should get benefits because then the people who paid have no point in paying anymore and sts make a loss.

    I think STS has done quite a bit for non plat spenders recently! Making story tokens able to buy character, inventory, and auction slots should help the non plat player quite a bit. I'm seeing more interest in this game recently by new players! Let's be honest, I've been running elites more than a whole year and I'm still not equipped with the best gear or have millions in the bank. I'm an occasional plat spender and recently did splurge on somethings and it didn't pay out the way I wanted. Even if you spend thousands, there's no guarantee you'll be better off than when you first started. The key is to set goals and try to achieve them one at a time.

    I wouldn't mind a new 1000 story token pet though!

    Why are you calling this a problem? If you farm lockeds intensively you can get a full mythic armor in a month without a problem, and also the pvp is possible without gear, i know a couple of guys that are really good in pvp, and dont use anything mythic or really expensive. Also your whole "plat should be replaceable" thing would be bad for sts since they wouldnt get any Money, and we wouldnt be aBle to play this awesome game without them. So i say great work sts, and keep it up

    Try to remember that this is a business. The idea is to entice players to spend money. The STS staff doesn't pay their rent in story tokens. Servers, equipment and tech support to keep the game up and running cost a lot of money. I gotta go with CTF on this one. People that won't spend their money on better gear and pets, will certainly have a little extra to spend on miracle meat, better known by its formal name, bacon. There is plenty benefit for non-plat spenders. You get to play this game free of charge... thanks to all the plat spenders.

    Another locked farmer LOL
    Go farm for yourself.
    Lol do u think sts cares if u praise them? On topic:- Plat users will keep spending plats, will never stop.
    WHO said whole plat should be replaceable, Use eye-goggles and read the thread again. Thanks
