Random love from sts

It's just random. I got one this week which is useless because I'm 76 but my buddy who never buys plat got one too.

Do you know Bigpoint, one of the leading companies for Browsergames worldwide? They told it "f2p" too. I played Darkorbit from Bigpoint from first hour. Now they lost most of their paying players all over the world. Why? Because there was no more relationship between playing and paying. STS is EXACTLY going the same way. You need to pay for play (try BSM without and you know what i mean.) Whould it be bad for STS to give away 40 plat a week (nearly reward from db before nerfing) to each player for playing ONE HOUR with elixir for example? Where`s the possibility to get the currency (plat) ingame? Free platinum is no alternative. i don`t need tons of spam and i don�t want to buy useless thinks to get some plat.
Giveaways should be usefull and really generous - otherwise they are a insult for paying players.

Don`t missunderstand me: I really like to pay for a good game. But don`t give me some absolutly useless stuff and tell me, it`s generous!

Plat free acc have gotten them also.
I have 40ish toons on this acc, so 40X 60 plat ea around 2,400 plat for free. STS didn't say they are generous. I did. How much money would 2,400 plat take 80$ plus, all free.
I and others play bsm without elixirs all the time.
So, thanks sts I appreciate this!

Think of it as them saying take this, its worth 80 plat, now stop complaining.

You understand it costs them literally nothing to give everyone 7 day 2x elixers. To me this isn't so much a gesture of good will, but a cheap and effective way to get everyone off their backs and encourage people to stack elixers.

I'm getting sick and tired of their completely transparent greed, and poor damage control. Who makes these decisions?

You may feel free to never buy an elixir.
You may feel free to not appreciate.
I simply said thank you for my gift.
Cheers

I'm a special VIP for getting 2x on all 15 toons. Thank you STS

Honestly, I have to agree with you to some extent. If they really wanted to do a gesture of good will, they wouldn't give an almost useless 7 day xp elixir. All that is, is an attempt to get people to thrash up and take advantage of their "kindness." In other words, yet again, sts has a background agenda.

However, I've said it before and I'll say it again, there absolutely nothing wrong with this at all! Sts doesn't make millions of dollars contrary to what most people seem to believe. They are a business. They gotta make money somehow. Why not do it through a good willed kind of idea?

I guess what really is upsetting to me isn't the fact that they have an agenda for making money. What makes me sad is it seems like that's all they care about. It seems like they could care less how content or happy their gamer base is. That is, until they start losing money.

First: You and your party play bsm totaly without elixir? LoL, show me!
Second: There are many ways to give players a little honour, for example by dropping some plat from the boss (not much, but there must be a way to get some plat for players, that can't pay but invest time.) STS can limit the number of toons getting plat from blessing o each acc too.

There a many possibilities for STS to be generous and to motivate players to pay for the game. At the moment i don't wanna pay for this game because STS seem's to be mean.

**Jcyee** · 11-17-2012, 05:09 PM

so i hear everyone and VIPs...
if a VIP is what i think it is, im most likely not one. if its everyone, i have not received one to my knowledge

**Reddwing** · 11-17-2012, 05:22 PM

I do and have, but I have a few end game toons so I use whichever one gets a free elixir and play that one usually.
If it's easier for you, then, its my opinion that they were being nice to me and others. Just as I hear your opinion to the contrary. I am not trying to change your mind.
I got something I didn't pay for and I have found much use for that.
So I said thanks STS.

@ Jcyee I don't know what ppl mean when they say VIP so I'm not sure. Last time they answered they said- just random love.
It seems to come and go, I thought it had gone away, then this.

**Extreme** · 11-17-2012, 05:58 PM

Got oneee

**McBain** · 11-17-2012, 06:28 PM

Hasn't STS between giving 7 day elixirs to random accounts for a while now? I don't think it's a new thing. Haven't between lucky enough to get one though.

Elixirs aren't at all necessary for BSM. If you can't survive without one, you might want to find out a little bit about how to actually play this game.

**Suentous PO** · 11-17-2012, 06:46 PM

Yeah, they've done it for a while now. Not only free 7 day, but a while back they had done this with the classy looter.
I'm not sure if they hadn't done it in a while, or if no one had given the forums a heads up. Kinda why I made a post, not to suck up and cheerlead but remind folks to check it, besides the thanks. They don't announce when they do it.
