my thoughs and character trading system
Hello there,
I will let you know right at start, i play only Cataclysm expansion, so i have no personal experience of other expansions.
I wanted to make a topic about these things, since they've been bothering me for a while. This is mainly meant to staff of Warmane, but i wanted that everyone could come to give out their thoughs about it.
So, i'd like to hear some actual facts about character trading system. Why are the prices so high? I did put my naked character on sale, it did cost 30 coins. Then i did check how much would it cost with inventory included, it was 117 coins. 117 coins for a character that is actually totally worthless by all meanings. Items that this character has, are worth of something, couple of them. HC rathrak, normal cloth gloves from Spine of Deathwing (ilvl403) and cataclysmic leg piece and last but not least, few parts of crafted vicious gear. The thing why i wanted to discuss about this and what bothers me, is obviously the price. Why would ANYBODY, buy a character like that. You have to farm things ingame for weeks, or then you have to spend 100€ to buy the character that has actually nothing on it. Would you, dear game masters and moderators, do it by yourself? I bet you wouldn't. So, are those prices so high, so people would donate instead of farming stuff ingame and trade them for coins? This has been in everybody's mind for sure, but i haven't seen anybody coming up with it, yet.
Full geared character, with professions, full gear, tons of achviements, titles and mounts. They can be sold for around 400 coins. Again, 400 coins. This is once again, 350 euros to donate, or then monts of ingame farming. Is there any point on that? As a casual player of warmane, i will say, it's totally not worth it, and i would never, ever buy anything like that. Think it like this, you can buy 6 new games, totally new games, from a local market, or steam, or anywhere, and spend hundreds of hours enjoying them, or then you just buy a character in Private Server, that has already everything achviewed. Which one would you choose?
We're talking about hundreds of euros here. Have you sold characters via that system? If you have, could you explain what kind of gear they had, achviements, titles, mounts, etc. Everything that matters when you buy a character. And of course, the price that it was sold. I can't believe that any of those characters, that costs over 400 coins, has been sold.
I'm not here to tell that you're doing your job wrong. I simply want to make an open discussion of how we could make things better, together, community and the hosts.
I suggest that you'd let people sell their characters with a price of their own choise. If a character with full gear is on sale for 100 coins, people would propably donate for the coins, and buy the character. It is worth it. Only one that loses anything, is the seller. But isn't it right that used toys aren't worth of amount as new ones? With this i mean, he has leveled the character, he has farmed gear, he has spent time and efforts on that, maybe even donated for items the character has. At the moment it looks like we'd pay for the work somebody else has done for the character. Yes, i understand that, but it's not worth of hundreds of euros or dollars.
Then about other things. What's your plans with Wrath of the Lich King expansion? How long will it take to get some efforts on other expansions aswell? When will Cataclysm get their major fixes done, that are making most "not enjoyable" Dragon Soul is bugged, Raid items in Battlegrounds(With this i mean those items, as example a jetpack from ICC, let's you fly around with it, bugging you inside of walls with flags and so on), Arena's are empty and full of bug abusers, or something like that. Take a look at here, this is from Warmane's 1v1 event from Neltharion. There's 2 things that are making me, and propably many others mad and frustrated. Or i don't know, i could be wrong aswell. Anyways. Red circle on right, at those buffs. You see that cogwheel there? That was item from a quest, that caused the stun on . Yes, it is useable in Arenas and Battlegrounds. You see ...'s cooldowns at bottom right corner. It took just a bit longer from the video to show that he does use Hand of Justice, so the first stun effect didn't come from Hand of Justice. Here's link to this video, fight starts at about 00:26:50. Second thing in that picture was upper red circle i made fast with paint. That text. À 3 ƒ ƒ Ä 3 Í ƒ ƒ = Kiss my *** (Kyss my ***). This is one thing that is ruining PvP. Yes, it's not illegal or anything. I just want to make this clear, for everybody. Is this worth of reporting? Is onlyway to get rid of this, just to /ignore the player that does this?
I don't want anybody to get offended by this topic. I just want answers. Please, give your thoughs in comments, i really want to know what's up with these things i wrote down earlier. And btw, sorry if there's some misstyping. I tried my best.
I neither do want to get banned from forum. I'm bit afraid of that aswell, for bringing these things up. Please, mods be nice to me :3
