In response to the concerns about not enough zylon coins, we've changed it to a ratio of 5:1. This'll result in 50 zylon coins per week for members, and 20 for non-members. It's important to remember that it has to stay relatively low or else it could be heavily abused. And abusing this directly results in a loss of profit.
The ban removal has also been pushed back to about June of last year, or just a bit before last years incident.
Also, the change to raid becoming 4man has already taken place. It's removed from the list.
Instead of limiting everyone, how about we only limit the abusers?
I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to incorporate an IP check before awarding Bot-Stract allowances.
By my calculations, the average player will probably only earn an average 40-50 B-S a week using your system, Allie.
However, I still need some clarification as to what constitutes a week. Can I, say, log in on 10/19 and 10/20 for 10 B-S, then login on 10/22 and 10/23 for 10 more or will skipping one day of the week strip me of all my B-S-earning privileges for the week?
Let's use the higher figure, 50 B-S every week. This, of course, will translate to 5 Zylon Coins per week.
The average player will have enough to buy one Snowball every month.
I just don't think this is going to persuade anyone to buy Zylon Coins.
Again, the answer is not to limit everyone, but to limit the abusers.
In my opinion, the goal is to even everyone's earnings out, so we can control them freely.
An abuser can spend his or her hours logging into 50 accounts a day, yes, but not if we stop him or her.
I think that a more effective system would be to award a consistent sum every day, something like
5 7 Zylon Coins every day a player logs in.
If a user plays BoutCheetah every other day, or a rough total 15 days per month, he or she will have been allotted
75 105 ZC by the end of one month.
Now, in one month, I think we can all agree something like a minimum of 10 million Gigas could be earned easily.
Even in one week, a player might earn 10 million Gigas.
Now, let's compare this minimum sum to the price of a Halloween Shoulder, which sells in the Zylon Shop for about 500 ZC.
Since a player may earn an average of
75 105 ZC per month, it is fair to say that a player may use his or her earnings from the past
6 to 7 months 5 months to purchase a Halloween Shoulder using Zylon Coins that he or she could have afforded using
one month's worth of Gigas.
I think we can agree that this system is not at all overpowered, and still rewards players with enough Zylon Coins to evaluate them and decide if they'd like to buy more with their own money.
