Utility of Donor's Point

Hi all,

I'm not strongly supporting this idea, but I'm hoping for something towards busy working adults that don't have the time to grind as much, but still like to enjoy playing/social-ing in Maple Legends.

But as for the donor points, is it possible to ease off working adults playtime - as in leveling? perhaps at least for us to catch up most people. some day i could only have 1~2 hours of playing so it's much appreciated due to tiredness at work, I can't really grind much.

2x coupon can be made available at a certain price point, not inaccessible to non-donors, but maybe at a agreed price point for both donors and non-donors. Maybe 10k cash for a 6 hours 2x exp for non-donors, and 5k rp for a 6 hours 2x exp ? *be it 2x drop or exp

Besides this, I find getting mesos is pretty tough at this rate, with only 1~2 hours of play time a day, maybe making teleport rock available for donors is a good way just to save travel time (even though it has the slightest edge compared to non-donors, but price point can be settled)

I know I may upset some players who want fairness, but my point isn't game breaking (like allowing gacha/ap reset to be available to donors), that's P2Win, but comparing 2x exp for hourly 2x coupon, paying an amount (which for a working adult should be no problem i guess) to save 2x time spent to catch up with fellow non-donors is reasonable, no?

PROS :-
1) Lesser grind time for people who have not much time.
2) ?

CONS :-
1) Spoiling the economy ?
2) ?


All comments are welcome, but please be as polite as possible, as I'm not SUPER aggressive towards this idea, just wanting a little bit more for people who have less time, but still love the good old days. (and yes , mostly I use 2x during weekends to catch up with my fellow buddies during Official Server)

 

gotta agree with you about adding the coupons, but as for the donor's item , we (adults who have lesser time to play due to work), hopefully will be able to have some edge at the same time contributing towards the server.

E.g. having a 1.5x coupon for donors at a decent price (which I don't think it's game breaking, due to the fact that everyone levels the same. even though people who don't work but getting money will be able to access to it, same goes for non-donors, maybe at 2.5k NX for a 30 mins 1.5x ? as for donors maybe 1k for a 1.5x coupon ?

I'm still trying to figure out the balance for working adults, because I am one, and being hard to catch up is a problem to me. imagine people who spend 4~6 hours a day in game a day, one week will be having 28~42 hours of gaming, while I'll be only having 7~14 hours of game play.

and people who spend 1 month of decent gaming, I'll need 4 months to be the same as them due to limited play time.

You can donate to enjoy the 1.5x / 2x exp , but bear in mind that it's not SUPER game breaking as APreset/Gacha, And I still don't see how cosmetic coupons / beauty coupons aren't accessible to donors again? since it's cosmetic.

Well it's open for discussion anyways keep the comments coming

 

Hm, for my view it ain't really pay2win implementing 1.5x or 2x (30 mins) item, compared to gacha, e.g. I have unlimited cash = unlimited gacha, same goes for ap reset.

But for the slight boost of exp rate, unlimited cash = 1.5x , it's not like it's stackable, but you get my point.

donors will achieve what normal player will achieve in 1.5 months in 1 month time.

I don't think it's really Pay2Win, but I'm just trying to prove my point as in Donors could have the slightest edge, but not game breaking.

A very good example would be, Donor's Chair regen.

No one without donating will have that sort of regen, compared to my character who is new, that have 100hp and 200mp regen at level 1. (game breaking? nope.. but you get my point)

Cheers.

Just my POV don't bash me

 

chair are not used by anyone? at least i use it haha for newbies who need 100hp/200mp regen per 10seconds. it allows me to have the edge compared to someone who is completely new without donating. you're missing the point here, i'm talking about slight edge.

as for 2x leeching service that you mentioned, pricing of the 2x or 1.5x is crucial in your point. imagine buying a service of 4 hours. (e.g. 15m) instead of 8 hrs (e.g. 30m), 2x is cost at lets say 20m , would he buy it? depends on whether he have the cash. since he contributed to the server. having 2x is the slight edge that i was talking about.

maybe not for drop because of bossing drop 2x, but maybe for exerience?

2x drop rate that you mentioned, how is unlimited more mesos? 2x drop = 2x chance to drop a bag of mesos, not unlimited. spending $10,000 and $1,000 = getting x amount of mesos maximum, unlike gacha / ap reset ($10,000 = x unit of gacha, $1,000 = y unit of gacha, same goes for ap reset.

Do you get my point after i explain? I don't mind not giving 2x drop, but the exp curve is very tough, for me at least. ( I don't have the 20 hours playtime a day like 8 years ago ,but if i could fork out 10 hours playtime to achieve a 20 hours playtime , i don't mind. )

just my 2 cents
