I'll leave the game if Cash Shop provides Paid Advantage in Triple Triad

[Jynx]

Golden Saucer seems to be following the same hype trend that all the current cash shop content is getting.

Step 1: Announce the content

Step 2: Hype the content for months with small drips of information slowly revealing more and exciting the player base into a ravenous frenzy.

SE:


Step 3: 2 days before release of the content. Announce the cash shop "Premium" features.

If they sell powerful cards and not just special edition ones, then it's going to be in-line with pay to win.

Yoshida mentioned that the cash shop is not for "pay to win" in the last live event. Won't be surprised if he breaks this though.

Isn't Triple Triad going to be a separate game? Like Blizzard has their wow card game hearthstone separate from the game played on pc/tablets. They made millions selling booster packs for it. I thought I saw SE say that Triple Triad would be on like phones and tablets as well.

What blizzard did is you could earn booster by beating people and getting gold or buy them with real money if you didn't want to keep playing matches to win gold.

There's going to be a JP phone app dedicated to triple triad as I read in an article but it also mentioned that all cards will be available in the version that will be available in FF14.

Depending on how SE will make the card game, it can spread outside of the Gold Saucer wherein you can challenge NPCs to card games like in FF8.

And so far, nothing released or planned to be put into the mog station is "pay to win". From Fantasias, to name change, to veteran rewards, to minions, mounts and now Eternal Bond. And yet, you think it's likely they'll suddenly change direction. Huh.

Well, considering that is what forums are made for... xD

Wow...no. Forums are meant to gather information, determine best strategies, tips etc... Basically everything this forum does poorly and none of what it does well (which is pretty much just the complaining part).

It'd simply be like TM for FFXI/Playonline - It'll have a shop/Auction House for cards but there it was with gil, nowadays people have proven they'd pay real money, so if you leave the game..nothing lost - many more will gladly pay for it that more than covers your lost $12-$15.

Bump! I just wanted to show my support of this thread.

I wonder how many this "many" really is. Seeing as only a vocal minority actually posts about these kinds of things.

It's always the minority that are unhappy about stuff.
Which is why wildstar/eso are dead right now, because only the minority were unhappy
oh..

SE didn`t learned its lesson. For sure, now is running down, straight to make company to those 2 titles if it follows this path.
