No, I wouldn't quit. In fact, I think it's a valid suggestion and consideration. I think everyone needs to take a step back and take a look at this from a high level point of view. Think of this from a business perspective. What is the purpose of any true business? It's to make money. There can be billions of different ways to make that money, but the goal at the end of the day is to make money.
CCP has to constantly think about this while we gamers don't. Yes, they want to put out a great product in order to retain the current customers. But a major key is to also attract new ones. As long as there is a gain in customers, that is a win for CCP. I'm more than positive they've had these discussions. They have to weigh out the positives and negatives of doing a full reset. How many players will they lose? And then they compare that to how many new customers will start this game on the 14th and retain this game after getting stomped repeatedly, if there isn't a reset.
My personal opinion is that a large majority of new players will not stick with this game. It might appeal to them in concept and play style and potential, but they will get very tired of going up against us veterans with proto gear and leveled out skills. As has been stated before, new players have no reason to stick with this game; they don't pay anything for it, and they can easily delete it from their HD. So, what will retain a large majority of these players and incentivize them to spend real money?
If CCP doesn't make money with this game, then there won't be a game to play. There has to be sacrifice in order for the game to continue and evolve.
I wouldn't be pleased with a full reset, but I would completely understand it. And I truly feel that most players--even based on this post--would stick around and still play. Yes, CCP would lose some of the veterans, but in comparison to how many new players would pick up the game and then stick with it (and spend tons of $$$$), I think it's a no brainer.
I think there are other ways to solve these issues, but this thread is intended for discussion on a full reset.
Happy Gaming!!! |
