The suggestion also specifically says that only one arena would be able to have the booster at a time, to allow kit users to still play games.
By looking at the financial side of things, you destroyed your own argument - The server can't make money off of kits anymore and kit free SG would increase the amount of players as less players will quit due to kits. And more players means more purchases of cosmetics and boosters. So from a financial-focused viewpoint, kit-free boosters are largely beneficial.
I agree, however they downgrade the features that users bought for real money. In the past hundreds of users have bought kits with USD.
I guess I don't really see your argument? People with kits will still be able to play on the other arenas, or in the kit free arena. .... unless your point is that you'd miss the money killing people without kits would bring you
At some point, people just need to acknowledge the fact that no one plays SG any more. In large part, this is because of kits. I don't play SG at all, I just listen when people talk. People with kits will not be losing anything they haven't already lost. A kit that gives you an advantage in an empty arena is no better than not having a kit, but having a game to play. In fact, it's worse.
Yes, but if I knew this back before I bought my kits I would have spent my money on other features. Do you see what I mean here?
Yes ... but there's no solution to that problem. That ship has already sailed. I'm not criticizing, or even really arguing with you. I freely acknowledge that sucks, but the status quo isn't any better. And SG that people actually want to play would benefit everyone -- would maybe even get kit SG back up and running again, if new players could win a few instead of constantly being slaughtered and giving up. Those players might make some money, then buy a kit, start playing in the other three kit-using arenas, or keep playing when the temporary kit-free period ends, etc. As it is, they come in, they play a few matches, they get slaughtered, they conclude (quite logically) that the game is stacked against them, and they decide not to play any more. And the vicious cycle continues. Would you or I play a game that was blatantly stacked against us? No. Why should they? Just in the time that I have played on this server, never as a regular SG player, I have watched SG basically die. And as someone with absolutely no stake in the kit/no-kit debate (I just build stuff), I can call it like I see it. In fact, I would pose a hypothesis. I would bet, if someone on staff accessed the records on feature sales, that they would find that kit sales peaked a long, long time ago and have been in constant decline since, not counting the last few days. The last few days would be a statistical anomaly given the EULA events.
as a kit user I can say I hate kits and they are one of the main reasons we have had a decline in players not only would this booster give us usd after Eula but it would encourage new players to stick around and play sg
I agree with you there. I hardly ever play SG, I just want to be able to play a few games every so often to make a bit of lotto money However, even with kits it has become extremely difficult to win a match during peak time as almost all users own then.
