Sorry, but the iEra community is, by far and away, the most bitchy and whiny community I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing - this coming from someone that browses League forums, which is infinitely harder to balance than a 2D iOS "shooter" that looks and plays like it was developed in 1980.

However, despite the younger target demographic, after reading this thread and sniffing around looking at staff-player interaction on EGo, I now feel like it's completely justified and the players are no longer at fault. If I had ever actually played this game, I sure as hell would be pissed off at the faulty administration and the way the higher-ups run the staff team like puppets. Staff in Graal has always been a spotty subject with claims of favoritism and questionable management, but this is just ridiculous.

2/2, must spread rep.

Although, I don't think this should be put directly Sam, I think its clear that he doesn't have much control over guns anyway, the 12 year olds spending $100 a week on gralat packs do. You'll find the problem higher up the order. As I've echoed before, the younger demographic is increasingly buying into the insane prices so why would unixmad want Era to stop this cash flow?

Things won't change unless people stop playing. Simple.

I know you cant do this type of stuff with the bar and stuff cause they are real money being payed here for the most part.

This is what I'm not getting. They're paying money to buy money. That money is an independent purchase. What they do with their money is up to them. If they choose to buy a weapon then they bought it with in-game money, not real money.

Please explain why it would be considered illegal to change something when they don't pay for the item directly with real money.

Because its 80$ were talking here. Its straight up robbing people. Say sam had enough **** and balanced out the game and it was similar to izone balancing of guns are hardly better than others. People will stop buying packs to get the gun because it aint worth the 80$. Cash flow goes down drastically. When that happens the higher ups get mad. When they get mad they find out the issue to why they losing $$$. They find out your responsible. They will interigate you. You will be most likely be fired. Trust me this is how the system works. My dad owns and runs a successful company, i have helped produce plays and i was incharge of the $$ making. My family lives and knows how to make $$$ this is how it goes down. Every single time.

Tldr
You will lose your job since you are cutting profits from IAPs.

That is a small possibility since unix is such a cheap ass skrublord and doesnt advertise the game. Also considering how most lil ones are growing up where this is the standered and theres no alt currency. They will think they are getting a deal.

Well that's the main problem. Scraping off that extra money makes people mad, they pay win, lose...rampage. The question is, what do we do? You know what I say? Nothing. Do absolutely, Nothing. See, people are happy with there pay win game, they save up there pennies, they crush the competition. Honestly, it's not really a problem! I know how this may sound, but hear me out, the people who don't have that type of money just don't like saving all that, and, the people who do just don't like going through the effort to beat that person! Listen, it's not about the gun, just work with it! I used the (recently buffed) tzek when it wasn't as good as it is now, and beat many people without effort. A tzek, Aug, and colt. And to tell you saving isn't impossible, my friend "Noob" (good luck finding him) has saved like a shipka, bar, m4 and a couple others from car missions. I know its possible, I made 30,000 in one day ( took maybe 6 hours) and got a colt. It's possible people! Anything is possible in a game, you never know. If you keep getting beat by people with high powered guns, I'm sorry, but you just gotta keep trying and get a better weapon! If you just hate it that much, change to Zone, all the weapons are balanced, although very spammy and uses 360* shooting (which I don't really favor over X and Y, which relies more on dodging). I do wish you good luck people!  

apparently i can get globalled for this

If the high price of guns is the problem, why not just boost jobs?!

Comparing it with Era PC, the guns there are extremely expensive.
iEra only has 200k as the maximum gun pricing.  

If i spent hours upon hours saving for a gun, and i get it, then days weeks or months later it gets nerfed i'd be enraged too, same thing goes with real life money.

Yeah i understand some people complain about it, but is nerfing really the best option? Some people rely on damage instead of skill, lets not rive them on that.  

I don't really worry I have itunes and I know if they make a really op gun it gets nerfed anyway. So just enjoy your powerful guns why you have them, or just buy a solid gun.

Difference between Era and iEra is that you can earn $400k, which is enough for a Souizen, arguably one of the best guns on the server by trash picking for 2 hours.

I swear, if Era players had the MOTIVATION of iEra players that motivates them to dig for MONTHS on end for a tier2 gun like the M4, they'd be incredibly successful on Era.
