well I took the time to calculate how many job points I need and how many days it would take me to reach both 17 Int and a 20 End
17 Int = 517 days
20 End = 1126 days
I can shorten it a bit with donating and using credits but seeing as how i am a student and a father, I cant afford to donate much more than $5 a month if i can save enough money to donate that much.
so despite have all the trainable stats I need it will be anywhere from 1.5 - 3 years before i can get better weapons/ armor. outside of winning a contest.
You can use crime money to buy credits and spend them on end or int, as well. Plus the new job code pays out so much more than the old system.
Im referring to the new job code.
if I buy 100 credits a day every day it will take me 6 months while using every job point on Int to get to 17.
Now with the best job giving .09 end it takes 100 job points to get to 9 endurance points. at that rate it will take over 1 year to get to 20 end
The way it is now despite having Top 50 Natural battle stats I cant compete due to my lack of ability to donate $100 dollars a month. If myself as a donator have a hard time competeing how is a non donator gonna compete?
If people cant compete people dont stick around.
Now if they had higher level weapons and armor( they dont have to be as good) but if they had something that would allow them to compete they would stick around, But right now the only people that are sticking around are the ones that wont leave as they have already donated so much money that they cant bring themselves to quit.
I would combine the forums and the game in to a single unity, amending the forums' layout to cleverly blend in with the game's layout. By accomplishing this, I would hope to induce more community spirit and nearness across the lands.
Well there are two members in the game that I see that are part of the high rollers yet both combined equal 5$ donated to the game. They are very competitive and EXTREMELY active. Activity beats donating, IMO.
I've got to disagree with u on this U. i've been around for a while and am a pretty active player, but without a couple hundred to donate the pistols are pretty much unreachable.

just cuz people have been around a long time or how active they are, there shouldnt be a lot of people running around with the best weapon in the game. im not saying i think that having to donate $300+ is fair either, but it should be pretty difficult to get the best weapon/armour and should be reserved for the BEST players in the game IMO.
i want more weapons.
Yes I've read all the posts. Good stuff. Keep em coming. Please keep the criticism constructed though!
Well I got my end up a lot quicker than i would have courtesy of my referrals or I would still be slogging away at it too. Everytime 1 lvl'd up or donated i put half the creds I earned on endurance.
People need to take more advantage of the referral system, I have one good referral and two decent ones. I am trying to find more ways, but it's hard work. I donate enough NOT to have to devote too much time to referrals, but donating makes up for what I consider my inactivity. If I play only 23 hours, I consider myself inactive. LOL
