[dev1243]: Question on Gifts.

[Camiie]

Well in case you haven't heard the news already, there's another double capacity points campaign happening starting Wednesday the 10th.

If they make it permanent then they'll be on to something. We don't need special campaigns. We need for the day-to-day game to become more productive. Right now, as best as I can tell on my server, people only care about doing CP during the campaigns (and even then it's not all that popular). Otherwise they do other stuff. We need for people to want to do it all the time if it's going to become the new means of character progression.

While I agree 110%, in all fairness, in the past 1.5 months we've had more up time of the 2x campaign than not, or at least nearly equal. Too lazy to check the exact dates. Perhaps we're not far from it going to the norm, much like the 2x Salvage Plans campaign did.

People doing it during the double campaigns for about the same reason people exchange gifts on Christmas--because it's special and limited. If capacity points rates were doubled permanently, that would become the new normal and the goalposts would shift so that people would resume complaining.
