I think you are forgetting the person that approached PWI with this idea in the first placeHe should put an application in at PW...he'd be a great asset to their team.
I think people like PenguinJoe would get mad because he already over paid for garbage, so if someone behind him got a deal he'd rage initially, but then over time realize it was the right move as the player base grew.
There is nothing in the world stopping you from approaching PWI staff with your own proposals. Be sure to let us all know how that turns out.
Yeah, then close this game and we be all okayThere is one serious flaw inn your logic. That flaw is that this game is 8 years old (In N.A.). Any new game starts off with a huge population. Income is plentiful because of the honeymoon effect. The time to introduce cheap OP gear is while the population is high. YNK made the mistake of taking that too far with the (very) limited sales of epics and upgrades for huge money each. People got pissed off and left. A few of those people returned when upghrades v2.0 and v3.0 were released for about half the cost of the originals, but again, turned around and left because (1) again the sales were limited and (2) they were still too costly and (3) because they messed with the rates to the point where it simply costs too much to make them.
In short the population is lower than what you will find on most indo pservers.
The problem with selling full upgrades at $5 (forged) or $1/part is that there is not enough population left here to really make that a worthwhile venture. Even if 100 people bought them at $5.00 each, PWI makes what, $500 out of the whole thing. $500 would not support this server for a single month. $5000 wouldn't - and Jainus does not have 1000 players. And that $500 is a one off-sale to most players since nobody really needs to make a buttloads of upgrades when they are so cheap and can pass them between their characters.
I would not want to be the GM that approaches his executives with that business plan. GMs have been fired for less.
Have you ever heard of Leagues of Legends ? And have you heard about their business model ?
TL;DR :
we won't PAY huge amount for pixels, we better play other games. Deal with it.
So go do it. Nobody is holding a gun to your head forcing you to be here. I mean why the fk are you bothering to post here at all? Nobody wants you here. So if LoL is so great, why are you not over there jizzing all over their forums?
I mean seriously, I would expect a French diplomat to have more to do with his time beyond hanging around on the forums of an obsolete, hideously expensive game.
Go on. I'm sure LoL is missing you. LoLoLoL

I wonder why everyone left and why PWI can't keep their playerbase/new players more than one month. Only people that are left here are the one who spent between $3.000 and $10.000 in that game.
yup, don't you notice PWI lost all the players ? the playerbase is actually 1% of what it used to be. We're not forcing you into losing your players days after days xDSo go do it.

if PWI needs income, they better find other ways because players won't milk anymore.
