Well, I'll start off this thread by explaining the ambigious title. I actually already created a thread with the same name some while ago, but since it was misunderstood, I decided to drop the matter. Now that I thought why not return to that same idea... I can't seem to find that same thread..
So, without further ado, let me start off the suggestion.
Let me say this first. The reason why I created this thread in the first place is because I found that many players complain how pay to win is this game, but when they go on a debate, or try suggesting something, they go full retard.
Most of the suggestions I saw running on the forums about this could be summirized to three part.
The make vip cheaper part... this one actually doesn't mean anything as vip is just a value which show how much support you give to the game. The actual benefits aren't really that op since even vip 10 don't use everything a vip 10 have access to. It's too damn expensive. The pets you get and the wings are obtainable through events, making that 'reaching vip 10' goal, seems quite pointless. Rather than an achievement, I think that reaching vip 10 is the proof that you messed up badly while spending your dias, and your "which event to top up in" strategy was nonexistant. However, that's just my point of view, and there exist in fact players which actually reach vip 10, by pure love and wish to support the amz team. It would make me feel bad to mess up these two categories so I wanted to make a shoutout for them..
The second part would be, the "cut down the price in half part". This one is... does the one who thought up this suggestion not think of the people who spent money to get those items as fellow human being? I mean, seriously, even the buddha would be pissed off if he just bought a set of wings at 10k dias only to find it tommorow in shop with a price of 5k dias. I mean, seriously, just like that, without notice a sharp drop in price, that's ridiculous.
That second part could be worked out, if it was just to be shown in a more subtle way, where everytime an item appears in flash sale, it's slightly lower priced, while a new item takes its place. But ultimately, this is the amz team's decision to make, not me.
The third part and the one that is probably the most ridiculous of them all, "make this item available from clearing content". Let me say first the only positive point of this suggestion and only bash it afterward. The only way I could see this suggestion working, is by making extremely old avatars (bloody sword for example) available from clearing a content for a crazy amount of time. And, I would suggest that this only happens after another 4 months pass by. The items that are turned from cash exclusive to free, should be so old that they are forgotten.
As for me bashing that suggestion, ust take my felings about the second one and multiply it by 100. You shouldn't be too off from the actual answer.
Now, for the 'investisment' part. What I am imagining is something close to Anime ninja's growth plan, if you're familiar with the concept. If not, then let me briefly summerize it. The event gives you the choice between 5 packs. The 2k gold pack(gold is dias in anime ninja) where if you take it, 2k is retrieved from your gold, and double that amount is given to you at the process of 20 days. A 5k gold pack, a 10k gold pack, a 20k gold pack and finally 40k gold pack.
One thing I would like to mention is that gold is innacicible freely in anime ninja, and that the only time players were given gold freely was on a certain christmas event. Thus, I would suggest upping the price of the packs.
PS: the event was run once every 3 months in anime ninja..
