Let's be realistic, obtaining the guns in Graal now through the in-game jobs is NOT possible for the casual-IplaywhenIhavesparetime-player. Obviously Gralat Packs are the solution (which is the reason for the high prices remember?). You are the consumer of the Graal product in its virtual market. Not saying that's a good or bad thing; it is what it is unixmad needs to make a living. (I personally disagree with unixmads management on a moral basis but I won't go there, you'll find it in a recent post with Newton.) In summary, you're right Cookie, they can and will change prices but only to suit the contemporary iEra economy. Imagine the uproar if guns revolved around the old economy at say 20k gralats? People that wasted $50 on a few pixels would lose their ****! Anyway, If you were playing a couple of years ago, which is what I'm assuming, you'll understand I gotta get back to English speech and stop my Graal essay. |

It's pretty rare nowadays though... I guess that's one way to look at it, on the other hand, a profit driven management who relies on talented consumers to create the content for them while not being even slightly thankful or appreciative to them, is another way to kill the fun. #justsaying |

Foolish to defend this game. Should have seen the guys on Era-Go. Defending the game saying its not pay2win. They was pretty much like can u buy any gun with RL money? Buy a speed boost with RL money? How about EC items..buy dem with rl money? No? Then its not p2w. Either that forum don't know what they are talking about or I'm just smoking something crazy. They actually believe this game jobs are fines and that it should stay like this nerfed and all.

To be fair, yes the server more or less started out as P2w (talking about bar release not before that) but it's you players who are making it stay this way. On numerous times I have tried nerfing guns because believe it or not I want it to be fair aswell, and after doing it, thanks to the huge backlash of angry/upset players who are unable to understand the way balancing works, the stats had to be changed back. The nerfs that have been carried through are only minor parts of what was originally intended and because of that even though people still complain about the BAR/ Minigun nerf I still am not happy with it, and if I chose to ignore player opinions I would have nerfed it even more significantly. Until the server 'grows up' and can see nerfs/buffs contributing to balance instead of going 'my bar has 10 less clip, I got scammed, refund me this gun is useless now' (ie. the original point of this thread) things aren't going to get better. And yes I know people spent money irl on their guns but when a nerf is made yes the gun isn't as good as it was before, but it is still better than the guns below its price and worth what it is made so we aren't ripping you off. Something 80% of Era's players don't understand which is largely due to the server being mostly made up of under 13 year olds (Also as Unixmad is the only person profiting off guns/packs- Snk declined Stefans offer of getting payment- and so any one saying we sell guns/ nerf guns just to make a profit are completely wrong. Honestly we don't give a **** how much money is made from them, the real reason for expensive guns is because the gun is stronger than others, and it was originally thought that only a few would buy it, not the entire server- like how auction guns work- so the guns more powerful stats wouldn't be as much of a problem as you would rarely encounter them) |

Era and iEra balancing work differently, since there is no irl money used in era, if they wanted to they could rebalance every gun and change them completely. Something like that isn't possible in iEra |

If you like a nerf and want it to stay, when people are arguing saying it's bad, defend the change. It's hard to convince people the nerf is needed when the player support of it is 10-1 since only the angry people are the ones posting qnd so it looks one sided. |
