This is my first post and I was just wondering how hard it would be to implement a system where subscribers could buy premium items with gold instead of crowns. I see more fun in crafting cards for gold to buy premium items. It would take awhile to gather the materials to earn the gold but in return, you can buy premium items. Just don't feel like shelling out more money for those items. To me it would be worth the effort of raising gold for those items. You play the free version to try it out then you decide "Ok cool but I want access to it all", so you buy the subscription and then you have to turn around and shell out more money just to have the good stuff. Why not just make the subscribers earn the gold to buy premium items or maybe a way to earn crowns in game? Thanks.
Yes, good topic that I hope is well read and received by the faculty.
I am a subscriber and a crown purchaser.
I have also gotten numerous crown drops from various bosses like quite a few paintings of falmea and dozens of angelic helms and other crown items. But I cant bring myself to want to sell them although they are more than I want or need. Nor am I posting disdain for receiving such items as drops.
What I am posting is the respectful request to offer to subscribers and crown users an option to turn in crown drops and bought items at a lessor price of say half of the purchase cost in crowns.
I know the tip of the iceberg says it will cut into potential profits, but not really. Consider that as a subscriber, there are pets available only to certain gift cards that I want and will buy them which means I get the pet and the crowns. Also deals where you get extra crowns for purchases like the current (as of this date) Game Stop purchase (yes am getting the card tomorrow).
In short. Why cant we have crown redemption's for crown purchases? It would mean more to the game like getting an extra henchman, or card pack, or help save up for the elite pet called Storm Hound.
But as it stands, I am very wary of purchases as any current crown purchase may end up buried in the bank or regrettably sold for gold :(
Also, it would add to the good faith of Kings Isle. for allowing us to trade crown items for crowns.
