My opinion on the Golden Cannon

[To be or not to be...]

Golden cannon...good idea when I saw the advertisement, *sees price* logs back off...

You need players to fund your current occupation, 505 plat for 500k and 10k for 5 others is not the way to do this, what goes through your heads?

You've definitely realised people want constant updates (after 3 years of feedback) which I'm pleased with.

But an extra 5 plat to give 5 others 10k each...

1) These needs to be cheaper and therefore a limited time thing with maybe an untradeable vanity or unique item to encourage people, as you can make triple this with the current amount of platinum.

2) People are selfish, this is giving to others so no one will buy anyway without personal gain proven by experimental economists.

Seriously, use your initiative and make things people will actually purchase, it's in your own interests.

P.S when you read this Gary, take this into consideration...feel free to private message me with any ideas, I'd be happy to suggest improvements to allow you the best possible outcome.

However, everything comes with a price.

We already sell 500K gold for 500 plat. This is just a fun thing to do if you are buying gold anyway. A more magnanimous way to go about it, if you will.

Assuming you experience no real loss in the event of this cannon idea not working out, I personally feel this thread is a bit aggressive. I read about it in G's post, laughed a bit, and just carried on with my day.

Be cool man, a bad idea is still better than no ideas at all.

Not strictly true, there are many ideas In the past which have Lead to negative externalities.

Such as when the uk government decreased there spending to help the budget deficit improve, this caused banks in the uk to stop lending as much, which caused investment to decrease which resulted in mass unemployment and in result a recession in 2008/9, with the U.K. In the period of stagnation as they then had to increase spending more then before due to benefits for the unemployed preventing any recovery let alone economic growth.

But any idea is better then non, huh?

There are many other examples and factors at lead to this result but without causing any arguments I chose to stick to a simple example.

I cant believe all the people who run into rolex stores and yell at the clerks about their overly expensive product! So rude. Me, I am a normal consumer. If the price is not where I want it, I do not buy.

That's because there are cheaper substitutes, however if you do purchase a Rolex you know you've got good quality which is worth paying for, as well as the feeling of pride.

But the golden cannon and 500 plat for 500k gold is outdated, people make 1-2m from 500 platinum...if they think about it and not just open crates.

500 platinum is no joke to get 500k gold for the buyer ... it is real money involvement to get in game gold..

from 500 platinum purchasing cannon should drop more valuable item for the buyer even include exquisite gem or something.. or a super rare item be in vanity or pet..

As I stated, glad someone sees the logic.

What makes me o.0 is that enough people convert 500 plat to 500k gold to justify creating the gold cannon. You can triple or even quadruple 500k gold if you buy plat items and sell them in the store.

But that's just not for some people, I guess. By all means, dear wealthy Arlorian, buy gold cannons for 500 plat and share the wealth. ;)

Selling Super / excellent or noble gems is more profitable than gold cannons from the jewel chest in platinum store and is more worth it

[jjperez27]

Why the cannon cost too much??? If u buy an 10 lucks worth for 40 plats u make 100k if u sell it 10k each so 200 plats make 50 lucks and if u sell it 10k each u will earn a 500k gold in a 200 plat.Why ppl will buy that cannon when they can make higher profit in lucks?????

[Schnitzel]

Dunno about you, but this'll start the whole medium cake episode again.
That, and inflation.

To all the economist out here, understand that some people really buys and convert plat to gold as is 500 = 500k; so jumpy about 500 cannon dont like it dont buy it :banana:

Hi. Nobody buys gold with plat. Like it has already been pointed out, there are easier ways of turning plat into gold. The cannon will fizzle but that's just my opinion. Plat is so expensive..erm..any chance of seeing a plat sale on the horizon?

Yes there are people who buy gold with plat. The case is usually for newbies who started out and think the deal is good..... or... they may just live in dubai and see a few hundred bucks laying on thier manshion and decides to drop it on arcane legends, and as they are rich, they'll just buy the gold as they are lazy.

On a more serious note,
just deal with it, it's just sts way to make sure they make money and make sure to game continues! Other bigger companies like valve, steam, for example csgo or tf2, u can buy keys from external seller for $2 but if u buy from the auctual one, its like $3.50. However there are still many people who just directly buy from the auctual store. It's just buisness.

I'm not sure why people are complaining about the cannon. LOL

All STS did was add an additional payout for an ALREADY EXISTING purchase option. If you believe this is a money grab by STS, then remember, it's been this way for over three years.

I could buy 20 Ankh kits with 500 plats and earn 1.34 million gold (67k Auc price) and give 100k to friends.

It's just, maybe the gold is too low and we dont get titles or vanities from it.

You could buy and resell items from the store, but the price of the items you sell in the auction house is decided by the player base, not the developers. The fluctuate so often its impossible to value conversion rates according to that. STS already sells 500k gold for 500 plat, which is what they have been doing since the game started. Now they've made that process a bit more "grandeur", shall we say?

[illwilly]

Maby theres some secret drop that all that buy this cannon get when the cannon no longer buyable? o.o i dont think so, but u never know..

[eugene9707]

There's a difference between opening cannon and buying elix/ankh and sell it.....

One inject gold into the game, one doesn't,it just circulate the gold.

So if the cannons actually give as much gold as you guys ask for, everything will hyperinflat.... As there's more gold in the economy so the value of gold decrease....

Ps, if no one buys gold with Plat, how did you think the game have that much gold flowing around (prior to cake event)?

Yes, yes you are right in that "grandeur cannon" and they're selling 500k gold for 500 plats since the start. "SINCE THE START", my point is this is 2k16 we have to be more practical, and still they get the money, players get the gold in cannon or in hoarding Ankh kits etc..
