A letter carrying the voice of the majority of Chinese players
Warmane Staffs:
Hi, very grateful to you for the providing a good gaming environment, so that more and more World of Warcraft players to find the initial passion.
This letter is mainly about the donation option for Coins of Wechat. I found the contents of the donation of WeChat on September 8,1 Coins for 5 CNY and 2 Coins for 10 CNY, very thoughtful for us. We are very appreciate this kind of donation so that many people can make a crazy donation at once after the end of the each day. Unfortunately, what most people see now is 13 Coins for 100 CNY.
I do not know the reason that makes you to modify the contents of the donation, but I am guessing that the Chinese farmers gave you wrong idea that makes you changed the donation of content. Disregard the image of the Chinese farmers, I want to point talk about the living environment of most ordinary Chinese living environment, so that you have a better understanding of the Chinese players. You may not know an ordinary Chinese monthly salary is around only 3000 to 4000 CNY. That’s right. 100 CNY donation seems nothing for that salary. Maybe in most Western democracies country, it is nothing. You may not be able to believe that our country is almost no assistant for child care, no pension benefits, no medical assurance for most of our people. In addition, we have to deal with the incredible high debt of mortgage. Not all of our cities are like Beijing, Shanghai, which are well-developed and more people are struggling for food and clothing problems. Moreover, our World of Warcraft players, most of China's World of Warcraft players are in the age range of 30-40 years old.The problem they are facing are like children's support , the obligation for taking care of parents, mortgages, children's milk power expense, the cost of children to school, the cost of medical expense.
We understand that you are worried that the minimum donation option is too low to cause the Chinese players only donate 1 Coins to cut in line. In fact, many players are using the program makes the mouse and keyboard to move to keep the charater online. Some players do only donate 1 Coins, and then actually more money goes to the hands of the farmers. you may not know that the Chinese farmers seling coins at a price of 1Coins = 5CNY. It can even go down to 1Coins = 4CNY if one buys a lot. Their minimum amount of coins is 1 coins,which is why you see a lot of Chinese players account only donated 1Coins. However, on the day of September 8 in Beijing, there were two different voice after you modified WeChat's donation. One was that many Chinese players were prepared to donate crazy large amount, and the other was rhetoric and misleading voice of Chinese farmers.The farmer is trying trick you into changing the payment method so that they can earn more.
Most Chinese players in the warmane server need to use VPN to reduce the delay, the price is about 30-80CNY / month, which is a kind of expense for them. Now, the WeChat method of donation is at least 100CNY, and we cannot choose the amount of donations. For the price farmers, you can enjoy the price of 1 Coins = 4 or 5CNY, and are free of amount options. If people will have to pay 100 CNY to avoid queuing, most Chinese players prefer to use the software rather than donation. For other items, they would rather choose the low price of the farmers, which is a very dangerous phenomenon. You have to realized that more and more Chinese players coming to the warmane server. The total number of Chinese players can be significant, and this number will continue to grow. if the server is not getting donation from the Chinese players, it can be a devastating disaster. I am thinking 1 Coins = 5CNY is the acceptable for majority of people can accept the price. Otherwise there will not be so many Chinese players take the risk of being banned to buying coins from the farmers in a price of1 Coins = price 5CNY. Some of them getting scam by shameless farmers.
Most of us think that the the new payment method will lead to an increasing number of farmers,and more and more Chinese players choose to buy Coins from farmers instead of buying from the official site. I am pretty sure that almost every Chinese player will never play only one character, and most Chinese players like an separate account for each character. If the price of Coins can be restored to 1 Coins = 5CNY, i believe that it will bring positive effect. For Chinese farmers, this will be an effective hit to them. The farmers will not be more profitable. This is more effective than banning their accounts. Therefor, the lower payment option can be very benefit for the Warmane server.
Finally, I am thankful for the valuable time of you, and I’m also thank you can read this letter and carrying the voice of the majority of Chinese players. In the incoming days this letter will be forwarded to different source of Chinese community to represent us. This way we can avoid your mailbox filled with the same letter, and avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the warmane staff.
