Nexon's P2W Cover Up Exposed!

[LordAnubis]

We all know the game has become p2w but Nexon wont admit to it.

Well this weeks event showed they admit to it....

At least it did until they took it away. It was buy chests from Marco to progress in event. That was so blatently P2W everyone outted it so fast Nexon just pulled the plug on the event.

LOL

 

[Festivus]

Uh... They pulled the plug on the event because it was riddled with bugs, dude.

I don't understand why you have a problem with a developer - who must make a profit to stay in business and keep the game going - who introduces P2W elements into a free-to-play game? Programmers gotta eat too, bro.

And they appear to be giving us free extra cold war gifts for their mistake. So enjoy your free troop cards and whatnot while you stew about their unfairness or whatever.

Lol, there is no cover up, it's pretty straight forward to everyone else. They are trying to maximize profits as they should. Anyway, that said, it has felt less P2W for me lately because I get lots of troop cards from the boat and Marco. Have plenty to use in battles consistently, even raids if I must, and definitely on WW defense.

Compared to competitor games they are not near as bad in giving advantage to wallet warriors. I am very happy with the game.

at least the workshop required only one chest to open
others for sure require someone paying in crowns for more chests
imo event had to require something normal with workshop being the final prize and make a separate event for crown chests
but it's okay for me since i'll be able to get the workshop anyway
other game killing p2w features are what irritates me more than this one

It was removed due to bugs. But regarding P2W, yes it is a problem, because they advertised themselves as NOT being P2W (and still do), but in the last 1+ years the game has undeniably taken a huge turn to P2W.

I whole heartly agree. Kixeye for example is so hugely geared toward whales its ridiculous and compared to this game its makes this one seem free to play.. Months and months to build a fleet...days upon days to repair fleets....unless you pay up that is

 

[LordAnubis]

Yes it was bugged. The cancelled event was so openly pay to complete though i wet myself laughing so hard. They didnt even try to hide it.

It has not been a huge turn to P2W. You obviously do not play other games where it is literally 10x worse. In other games the Silo would have been a purchase only with cash or crowns.

Some of you really hate the idea of Nexon making a few bucks. This game should be a model for other companies to follow as they are creating something sustainable where you don’t need to spend thousands to do well.

Dominations is not that P2W, but it is very P2W compare with Super cell.

 

[Manifesto]

Just to add my voice here. How many of us can play 1 or 2 hours a day or even a few times a day without paying any money?
Enough said.

 

[Mcnasty]

Let them P2W. Makes kicking their asses that much better

 

[Bedlam]

I thought you quit the game?

 

[sileepuppee]

I didn't wake up in time but I was told by some alliance members that they were able to keep buying the Lords chest for 1 rubie and the trade remaining would not be used up.

 

[Motaz Tarek]

p2w is limited to top leaderboards now hope it doesn't extend more
even top alliances are tired of the stupid way they r forced to spend on this game and some of them joined 0SH group

should've been more diversity in the pay2win options, i bet nexon made more money before forcing players into cards, a wide data base of moderately paying players was much better than a few elite wallet warriors and made the game more vivid than now

 

[SiuYin]

It is a deadly circle:
Nexon squeezing players to pay -> players quit -> less revenue -> Nexon squeezing more players to pay

It is a short-sighted decision to entertain money whale only. For a game, there is less than 0.1% money whale, they may contribute 10% of revenue, but still a minor contribution.
but Nexon is now forcing 99.9% player to quit.

Revenue will tell you all. There are some key point which dropped significantly: Global Age Release, SH Release, And CWA release.
All drop related to introduction of P2W features.

Just to clarify, my point was that almost all of us play regularly for free. Nexon doesn't force us to pay, but they are also entitled to a return on their investment.
If a small %age pays then that's their decision, Nexon isn't holding a gun to their heads LordAnubis

You're correct. I pay here and there but found the cancelled event so "in your face" p2w it wasn't funny. It was almost Battlefront 2 ridiculous.

Oh my word YES! If you have ever played vega conflict (kixeye game) like I have, trust me this game is not bad at all. In vega not only did you not have a chance of winning but Wallet warriors where able to completely stop you from playing the game for weeks at a time.
All the belly aching i see people do here, I mean really people you have no idea. In vega you could drop $100 and it still would not do anything, they have mega alliances that all jump you at once 100s of players taking on just you by yourself. To make matters worse they have event tech, fleets of ships and other things that they have spent $20,000 or more on.
all things considered this game is actually pretty well-balanced, and they actually implement player suggestions unlike many other games ive played before. Trust me this game is not nearly as bad as the bellyaching here on the forms would make you believe
