That's exactly the problem with this current sysem. It's much like a Casino, but unlike Casino
you will bet on pictures. Sure you can pay 100 eur, maybe 500 and still not winning anything
of value. The blame? Just rough luck. Sure you can play without money and get lucky shots
all the time. It would be much better if this kits where the 5 first grand prizes as usally for
new special event items. So people how go nuts and spending much money will get rewarded
and perhaps will keep doing his, instead of having the risk they don't get anything, getting
frustrated and dissepointed and choosing to not spend money anymore. While if they had
otherwise obtained 5 diffrent kits from the grand prizes or even more, would probaly doing
this again in an next event and so you could play it on safe to gain money, Inno.
In short, current situation:
Player A wants to spend resonable money to obain all 5 kits
He/She pays 100-500 euro to achieve this goal in this event
Got rough luck and gains only crap, gets frustrated and sad (great for the gameplay, huh)
After the event is so dissepointed that Player A doesn't want to spend money in the game anymore and may even quit
Situation where first 5 grand prizes are the 5 kits
Player A wants to spend resonable money to obtain all 5 kits
He/She pays 100-500 euro to achieve this goal in this event
May got rough luck, but thanks to the grand prizes got this 5 kits and is very happy about this
After this next event if prizes are again with grand prizes, he/she may wants again the new special stuff and spends
again a lot of money.
So from both sides from an company point of view and an player point of view, I think you don't
have to be very smart to know wich situation results in an win-win and wich in an win-lose-lose
sitation. Where the first is the company the second the player, third company again... in terms
of chances 50/50 chance of the right answer.
Inno I hope your reading this and gets my point. To make it eassier, my point is. If you bet on an
risky luck based event and doesn't grant anything there is an large risk to lose paying players how
wants to pay for the stuff you offer. Howevery they probaly getting very dissepointed due rough
luck and/or low chances and no altarnatives. When you grant them to get rewarded for their effort,
they are getting probaly very happy and are well willing to do this again as long it is for an resonable
prize. Despite the chances naturaly in the chests, since they know they getting at least something
that they want in return. While the causial player needs much more luck and getting just an very
few things granted maybe only 2 grand prices. This is btw no critism, I just want to help you
guys to keep players happy and thinking with you to also having better chances that players are
getting to the point they want buy extra diamonds.
