The doctors say his chances are 50/50...but there's only a 10% chance of that. |

The advantage for players is that everyone is a equally valuable customer. We don't have VIPs, premiums and F2P people in EvE, everyone is equal and nobody will ask you how you got your gametime. Also the grind in F2P games like LotRO to archive vaguely similar content access as paying people ... well its insane, if its even possible which it usually is not.

The moment EVE goes full F2P, is the moment it dies as a good MMO.

Originally posted by Rydeson Your post just plainly tells us you don't understand anything about EVE. in exchange of every paltry 50 USD per year from casuals like you, they would probably lose ten times the amount from customers disgusted by rampant spammers, spy alts, corp thieves et cetera. F2P just would not work for EVE. It would cause more problems than solve anything, resulting in the paying customers to leave quickly and the death of the game.

It is funny how you pick only parts that remotely suits your case but leave out the essential. First 3 question: Where can I purchase gems? At present, you can purchase Guild Wars 2 gems by visiting the Gem Store through the Black Lion Trading Company. You can reach the trading company by pressing the “O” key or by clicking the lion head in the upper-left corner of the game interface. What forms of payment does the Gem Store accept? The Guild Wars 2 Gem Store accepts payments via credit cards—Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and JCB Card—as well as through PayPal. What currency will the Gem Store use for my purchase? When you open the Gem Store billing interface, you will be asked to select your country. Prices will be presented in the currency associated with the country you selected. You will be required to enter a billing address that matches the country you selected to complete the purchase. You may change your country at any time. Gems may be purchased using Euros, U.S. Dollars, or British Pounds.

The problem with EVE is the core design that is very unfriendly to F2P model - real time skilling, complex industry system. I have no doubt CCP would make the game F2P if they think it will make them more money, problem is HOW to make EVE F2P without changing fundamental mechanics of the game.

Originally posted by Banquetto And you'd be wrong. All gems on the market were purchased and placed there by players. "The gems and gold players get from the Currency Exchange are supplied by other players, not ArenaNet." (source) Is it possible that there may be no available gems one day as a result of that? Possible, but not at all probable.
filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

The point is, you claimed that Gems are not purchased with real money.

Originally posted by Rydeson It is quite simple. The highest order PvP in EVE does work on heavy metagaming (spies, scams etc.). This means financial investment to keep a spy account. Trial accounts do not work for this purpose. If EVE was F2P, there'd be no limit to metagaming and the most exciting parts of the game would die. If you remove the interesting endgame parts from the game, what do you think the result will be ?

It is not technically correct since players do not sell Gems for gold individually and Gem supply is probably infinite but that still does not imply they can be acquired at infinite rate - their price would go up as their supply goes down, regulated by ANet same way free market would do in EVE Online with PLEX. |
