DUST Search - [Feedback] Monetization of features

Breakin Stuff wrote:

Rattati I appreciate what you are trying to do and why with AUR sales.

However, if I may offer a critique, I think a lot of it is clunky, could be implemented more smoothly, less obtrusively and in a way that is both profitable so that you all can keep the lights on and the development flowing, but does not hit the insanity triggers of your playerbase.

I know the moniker "Aurlords" is a frustrating one and I appreciate why. But the consensus from most of the veteran players whom I speak to is that the methods you use are not bad. It is the method and implementation that feels as though it is falling short.

The ideas, the potential for profit for CCP on DUST, and if it's still a thing, Legion are all there. You have what you need to make it work. Rather than adding more AUR features, I firmly believe that refining the ones you have will be the key to a better success rate.

I hear ideas on how to refine and improve the monetization every day. I have even seen a few damn good ones on the forum, only to be buried under the P2W screaming crazies.

But as far as it goes, the biggest complaint I hear currently is how in-your-face the AUR sale features are. I personally don't give a sh*t. My concern is more that the fit-pitching, tears and recriminations inevitably impede progress and make people gun shy about AUR sales or imimplementation in general.

You got a lotta brains out here who don't want the servers to go down. Some of us are even willing to help brainstorm.

The thing is, it's an excellent pack Aurum wise, because you basically get 100k at half price. Cat Merc for C¦¦P¦¦M¦¦9¦¦ CPM Nyan! *Vote 'Keshava' for the new Gallente vehicle name!*

Yes, but what happened to my thread kinda sorta killed my intention to buy the pack. We'll see what happens. Cat Merc for C¦¦P¦¦M¦¦9¦¦ CPM Nyan! *Vote 'Keshava' for the new Gallente vehicle name!*

Im not shy about spending money on this game because now that it has a (prolly only short) future again, I do believe its worth it. Personally i'd like key prices to be dropped, but then it does become a true p2w kinda deal, instead of an equal value lottery. Cat, im sorry your angry thread got nuked, I do like your constructive ideas thread very much though. I really DO hate you all.

Sorry to be the 1 to say this dude, but what ever ideas you come up with here, the Devs have either thought of and dismissed or will not implement them as they have already agreed on a chosen path. Don't take this the wrong way dude, I do stand to be corrected on everything I have said and done. I have yet to be corrected on those subjects, hopefully this thread proves me wrong and the Devs do listen and change stuff. And when they do I will be the first to say it and have a beer in celebration . *YOU TUBEZ* *BLOGZ*
