It's not some result of American parenting, it's game design 101. Risk vs Reward.

There's more risk of losing your suit to friendly fire or going against a stacked team, and up until recently, you were rewarded a pitiful amount of LP for doing so. But even now with increased payouts, people who play lets say for Gallente as a heavy have nothing to spend it on, there is literally no reason for that person to play. The same for any other person who doesn't have their suit or weapon available.

And it's a game, a majority of what makes gamers play games is playing it for the incentives. What if they took away the aspect of Bowser and rescuing Princess Peach from the Mario Bros games? You wouldn't say, "Funny how you need incentives to play this game, you should just play it because it's fun." Nintendo would have dropped the IP from lack of sales faster than the Virtual Boy.

Once upon a time, the gamer needed no trophy to bask in the glory of his in game accomplishments. He didnt need a reason to play a game mode besides the basic desire to play and joy it brought.

Usually a long winded excuse or in your case, a post of many words means you are excusing entitled behavior that you possess. Heres an idea, play FW because its fun, challenging, and competitive. Not because of suits in a LP store. You need a incentive to participate in that? Thats funny.

(A give / salvage / scrap / sell button would work too) But never mind that I'll bite: Federation Type-I / -II Suits (Different slot layouts for suits.) Federation Fancy Kinetic Catalyzer ([13+%] more SPEED!) Federation Allotek Specialist Breach Shotgun Federation Allotek Specialist Burst Assault Rifle Federation CreoDron Specialist Breach Assault Rifle Federation Duvolle Specialist Tactical Assault Rifle So basically things that are not available through the normal ISK market.

Amarr is currently the only faction with them and I have high standings for Minmatar. What item would you like to see on the LP market that would encourage you to play FW rather than public matches?

Not because of suits in a LP store. You need a incentive to participate in that? Thats funny. First, get off that high horse of yours, I'm afraid you'll lose consciousness from the lack of oxygen up there. And next, you misunderstand, this is literally Game Design 101 stuff here, learning that gamers need incentives to play and basic theories behind balancing those incentives was literally **** I learned back in my first semester at ASU. Take your own name for example, Vincent from FF7. His Death Sentence weapon has no Materia Growth, the rate at which it grows to become more powerful through killing enemies can be very grindy, and his Limit Breaks are potential liabilities. So why use him? Because when you -do- slog through a couple 1000 enemies, he become extraordinarily powerful when combined with materia like D.Blow. The game creators -incentivized- the players to use him with the promise of eventually reaching that uber damage point. And games have always given incentives pretty much so long as they've existed; ever heard of the hi-score board? The hi-score board has been incentivising players to continue dumping quarters into cabinets even before the first video games with Pinball Machines. Incentives have always always been around and just because they've become more flashy or have been integrated into the game so well you don't initially notice doesn't make them any less necessary or important.

Sp boosters that grant 25% more SP gain. That would be a way to get more SP but not more then spending actual money. maybe like 15k LP for a 3day active booster. They say when you die you see a white light which then forms the line of: "GAME OVER! PLEASE INSERT COIN"

Probably variants on things that you wouldn't be able to get elsewhere, like an assault plasma cannon or something unique like that. I rarely use ARs and the scanners aren't great, so the unique aspects of the Gal store for me atm aren't really worth it. The Min store has some cool rep tools and the Amarr store has specialist SCRs, so I like getting those EDIT: I think a fully fleshed out store would be nice, though. ADSes would be good too. This is basically my situation too, i already have the proto variants of weapons and suits that i use, same with modules, the things that would get me into fw would have to be things that i can't just buy off the market .either assault and breach variants or possibly officer equipment .the factional titles that are being thought about elsewhere .or possibly if the fw gear was alot cheaper for cpu,pg or/and isk on another note though the charge variant sniper rifle and calsentinel, calmando etc are missing too

Nirwanda Vaughns 426th Infantry 682	Posted - 2014.08.23 16:31:00 - [51] - Quote 'Real' faction mods/suits that have a unique benefit. similar to the scanners/reppers/hives/uplinks ect that we have but proto suits with perhaps bit extra PG/CPU/HP armor plates with reduced speed penalty, shield extenders that give few more hp, hacking modules with increased hack speed, ect ect Rolling with the punches
Reign Omega BurgezzE.T.F General Tso's Alliance 788	Posted - 2014.08.23 17:11:00 - [52] - Quote Shorter queue times, as of right now you literally have to rapid queue without hesitation to stay in the rotation once you get in your first match. Not that I mind terribly I'm usually looking to play a bunch when I decide to FW, but sometimes you cant queue right back up and then you get hit with the 10 minute wait timer. Gal high slot....any. Sentinels, Commandos, Scouts, Guns... A display of sucking that rivals the highest amount of sucking that a player has displayed in the history of sucking.-JR
