-LOCKED - Hunting Stuffs - Poll Time!
Posted on 2014-12-15 06:33:03
Hello lions!

We've listened to your feedback, suggestions and comments and have decided to give you guys a poll regarding the hunting feature to see what you feel is best, and to gauge more public opinion and where it's sitting.

There are four options that are available on the poll, and I will explain each of them:

Option 1 - Revert back to 1 GB to skip hunts, and additional hunts go back to normal.
Basically we return to how it was before the SB skip was switched. Skipping was a luxury.

Option 2 - Keep the new system. Pay SB to skip hunts still, but no additional hunts.
Everyone has the same playing field, and it's effectively capped.

Option 3 - Change the system to have skipping incur a cost of 1000SB OR 1 GB (whichever currency you'd prefer to use), with each skip causing the price to increase in tiers. The proposed is increasing the SB cost by 100SB at a time, so the first skip would cost 1000SB, second would be 1100SB, 1200SB, and so on and so forth. Additional hunts would return as they were before - 10 SB per hunt.

Option 4 - The same as option 3, except also tier up the cost of additional hunts. First additional hunt costing 100SB, increasing in 10SB increments. Second 110SB, then 120sb, etc etc.

You can vote on the polls page - click here for a direct link there.

Please keep in mind that Lioden is really dear to us and we care about all of you on here! We listen to each and every one of you but have to make decisions to try to balance the game where we can. We don't want to remove competition and we also don't want to make things completely unfair, either, so it's all about finding a nice middle.

Thanks for sticking with us guys!

Pls don't poop on me for this. ;0;

Option 2 seems like a good cap. :)

Admins, this is absolutely NOT the way to go about this. You want GB, yes? Why would you ask the opinions of the general population, most of whom aren't GB purchasers or serious players, over the opinions of those who want to pay to keep the site going? :|

The casual player who doesn't donate does not have the same wants or needs as a serious player who will donate. Ironically enough, these casual players aren't at a risk of loss over doing something good for those who donate, generally, either >_>

I voted for option two as it is my personal favorite for my own usage. However, I can see how some players favor the other options. Soooo many logical arguments to this that I feel can be argued successfully that I am going to stick to my own personal needs regarding hunting, not what I feel the super stat players want or what the average player wants.

BREAKDOWN
1) Pain in the butt for super stat players, pain in the butt for average player. NO
2) A major blow to super stats, great for average player, but HEAVILY limits the possibility for gaining ground [stat related] in the game.
3) An "okay" fix for super stats, but pain for the average player. Favors those with a lot of money.
4) This is how you take every ounce of SB out of the game lol aka NO

Please remember that we as admins still get the final say, the winning vote does NOT determine what will happen -- it's just giving us food for thought and an idea of what the general population wants. We're open to listening to arguments for each side.

For example with option 3 or 4, the SB amounts could be adjusted if that is a reason not to vote for it.

@Kaye, option 3 offers a SB cost as well as a GB cost for skipping. That is the difference?

I said option 2, but I also thought option 4 was fair. Or just take both skipping and adding hunts away. ;)

Option 2 seems the best out of these 4 to me, though I will miss my option of having extra hunts with my main huntresses, 1 changes nothing and 3 and 4 , while making it more expensive to stat grind, will still have it be a possibility for people who can buy lots of GB, which would only widen the gap, so to say.

While that would be good for GB income of the site, at least from people who want to raise their stats, it would not stop the issue and it would also go against the idea of GB not being a pay-to-win currency.

True true, people are making me re-think this, in a different way.

Option one will encourage some GB purchases in a small scale,

Option two has the most benefit for newer players and those who are casual,

Option three, I personally dislike as it assigns GB a firm value, but could be useful to casuals and a tad harder for newbies.

Option four would be more of a benefit to the site than Option two would be.


But in my thoughts[which will probably be influenced again by other player commentary] still root for #2

Hmm, I'm a bit concerned about going with a poll. My impression has always been that the majority of people on Lioden are 'casual gamers'. Many of whom don't know all the ins and outs of how stats work and also aren't invested in the game the same as those who put a lot of effort and/or money into it. I think the comments in the last news post show that. The most in-depth comments came from people who are invested and they were mostly against 'option 2'. People also don't always read news posts or comments either. A majority vote isn't necessarily going to point to an option that's fair for all or give truthful insight.

I hope staff will take all that into account when making their final decision. If not, I think we're all in trouble, to be honest.

Edit: Thanks for your post Kitty. I feel a little better now. C:
