Elixers?

[JFelt8]

Why were they changed to plat only? Now only people with a lot of real money invested can pot up, that doesn't really seem fair.

[Major]

Well really though, using elixers is cheap anyways. I do see your point but now the game will be a little more balanced.

Uh...balanced? How so?

[mugen]

i think we should be able to buy xp elixers with gp if we have a capped toon on our account. so we can lvl alts quickly if we wish.

People with lots of money can use elixers whenever they want....the less fortunate cant, and is somewhat unfair....if you play 3 levels in BS and get 3 Really good pinks you are rich lol.

I still don't understand you.
In-game gold has to have SOME purpose.

Ya you buy things with it besides making your char temporarily more elite....Just accept it buddy be optimistic lol

I still don't understand your comment about it being more balanced now.

[Major]

Who spends actual plat on elixers...not very many ppl. This way we wont have as many ppl using them, using an elixer makes a char temporarily more elite compared to the others...think about it, it makes players unbalanced when one char has say a dmg pot and the others dont. wow

With that mindset, they should just get rid of elixirs altogether.

This will be more imbalanced, bc only people with real cash can use them now. Why shouldn't people with more in-game gold have some advantage over those with none? They worked for it. If in-game gold continues to have fewer and fewer uses, what reason will people have to farm anything?

[red]

even i have to admit, thats not cool. especially for people like me who just ranked to 55, and don't want to spend money for pots that the current 56's didn't have to spend. 10p for waters!

[Major]

I see what you are saying but look at it from a business point of view. The devs make more money from plat than gold. Even the ppl with real cash are hesitant to spend plat for a temporary 5 min elixer. I know i am anyways, and I have like 300 plat as of now. I dont like it either but i can see why they did it.

With that logic, there shouldn't be any in-game gold and everything you need should cost plat.
I mean, why not?
Where do you draw the line? Many thought the line was drawn way way back before the whole plat-for-revive thing. Everyone says "pshaw, they'd never do THAT"... And they commence to do the exact things we never expected to see. So where has the line moved to now?

[JFelt8]

I've only used pots for lvl 55-56 grind and bad parties when u get to boss, so I'm not a big potter, but now I'm halfway to 56 and I feel cheated out of my gold since I've only gotten 4 pinks total out of sewers which makes me poor.and it's gonna take me forever to finish since I only have time to play a couple of hours bit each day

[RedRyder]

Everyone that's 56 abused the hell out of the waters of wisdom, and now it's gonna cost The rest of us real money. It's not fair and nor is it balanced in any way, shape, or form. 11k xp without potting for me and I barely play sewers. I don't want to have to kill 71,000 enemies cause I'm sure as hell the 56's didn't do all of that. We shouldn't have to grind 3x harder than them.

It's easy, it's their business model. Blackstar is around the corner and this game has come to an end in terms of development. They are closing all the gaps and tend to use it as a bigger source of income. From now on all content will be platinum based. And because we are addicted to it, cause it's the best, they can do it.

Correction -- SOME people may be addicted enough to pay and let them charge for whatever they dang well please. But not everyone.

I get your point, but I think that because this causes such a stir, it's proves that most are addicted. Of course that doesn't mean that most will pay platinum, but that's just something for the Powerpoint presentation of revenue at the headquarters. If they see people won't spend platinum and run away they might change it like reducing GCD. Anyway I'm happy with it and sure thing I'm addicted :cool:

[xiscottix]

Im never using an elixer again... sorry PL

addicted to the old system....now that everything costs real money, how many kids u think will be spending their allowance on a game? probly a few....but not enough to support their revenue requirements.

STS will never see another dollar from me.....as games are not that important. this may be a great game, but others are already in the works....this'll die like all the other failures....like pocket empires did when the devs tried to extort money from his players the same as STS has done.

[Beanmachine]

And they should bring back the xp down to original.
The whole point they tried to make leveling much harder by raising the xp needed to level.

If hardly anyone is going to use xp elixirs the devs should nerf the xp needed to level.

Cmon guys I know you agree with me... right?^^

[giayuan]

I have always stood by STS's side, but this is extremely PISSING my *** off. I come home from a messed up volleyball game and screwed up soccer practice to THIS. Hoping to make lvl56 by the end of spring break which starts end of this week, my dreams are crushed. There are always times where the producers want money, like all people do, but this is just... sigh.. PL is such a great game and I guess they know that too, so might as well destroy the community now before it gets bigger, just my point of view.
