Petition to Make Purchase E-Peens great timesmulative
|
|||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Buying all 6 of the packages totals up to $199.95, gives 6 E-Peens, and gives 187 BP. EDIT: 4 unique E-Peens, not 6 Buying the last package twice totals up to $200.00, gives 1 E-Peen, and gives 200 BP.
The second deal is obviously more popular, despite the fact that it costs MORE money. Players would rather have a better deal. Since the second option makes more money than the first, it should be equally rewarding.
I suggest that each package gives its own E-Peen along with the previous E-Peens. In other words, Sucky Sucky Five Dolla (3 BP for $4.99 USD) gives its E-Peen. Full Body Release (7 BP for $9.99 USD) gives its E-Peen plus the one from Sucky Sucky Five Dolla. etc
This way, Forumwarz makes more money (more people buy the more expensive packages), we get more BP, and we (as shoppers and as players) feel better since we are getting a better deal (Friend of Forumwarz III has the best $ to BP ratio)
EDIT: for the trolls, i DO have the money to pay for either one, so don’t flame me about trying to get cheaper BP
EDIT: Considering the nature of our economy, I would say that making more money will be essential to keeping Forumwarz alive, making this a very important proposition. ghax edited this message on 12/27/2008 11:02PM |

Don’t the first 3 packages give the same E-Peen – Best Player Ever? Somebody edited this message on 12/27/2008 11:01PM |

true… so 4 instead of 6
http://www.forumwarz.com/buy_stuff/purchase_points just said “Free E-Peen” so i wasn’t aware of that
So the first three packages give the same E-Peen. Package 4 gives it’s E-Peen AND the one from Packages 1,2,3. Package 5 gives it’s E-Peen AND the one from Packages 1,2,3,4. Package 6 gives it’s E-Peen AND the one from Packages 1,2,3,4,5.
Basically, the same logic and math still apply. (Look below for confirmation) ghax edited this message on 12/27/2008 11:14PM |

Most people agree on the need for the player to get the best $ to BP ratio. So they will pay $14.99 for Package 3 and get 1 E-Peen. and they will pay $24.99 for Package 4 and get 1 more E-Peen. and they will pay $49.99 for Package 5 and get 1 more E-Peen. and they will pay $99.99 for Package 6 and get 1 more E-Peen.
In total, they paid $189.96 and got 4 E-Peens, and 177BP. This is $1.0732203389830508474576271186441 per BP, which is highly annoying to the player.
Using my proposed idea, the player spends $199.98 for Package 6 twice, and gets 4 E-Peens.
In total, they paid $199.98 and got 4 E-Peens, and 200BP. This is $0.99 per BP, which is a much better deal.
Forumwarz made $10.02 more with the second option, but the player still bought it.
Since the player gets the same 4 E-Peens either way, the more expensive and cost effective way is preferred. ghax edited this message on 12/27/2008 11:09PM |

clog what stuff? None of those E-Peens are useless… Also, it makes sense that the player gets a better reward for a more expensive package, right? And it makes sense the Forumwarz should make more money, right?
Since my plan accomplishes both, in a very convincing way, it seems like it would be worth implementing, right? |

Those peens wouldn’t be funny. They’d also be redundant.

For the people that have already bought FoF I, II, or III without the previous packages, the missing E-Peens would be awarded, and then everything is fine. Right? |

The E-Peens are already in use. What’s wrong with using them in a better way? |

They are a mark of accomplishment. Consider it a trophy to put in a virtual trophy cabinet. To remind the gamer of how he / she is great at online gaming. Unfortunately, the same does not apply to reality… |

Technically, the Internet Attorney E-Peen gives you the license to practice Internet Law within Forumwarz domain. Unfortunately, the only scenario in which it is useful is already part of the game, and is in progress when u get the E-Peen. |

Not signed. A lot of people don’t want all peens and just buy them for the BP or the other way round. I’m also sure CZ makes more money the way it is now |

It’s very possible I’m not entirely understanding, but if someone buys the FoF III package for $99.99, they get e-peen for the lower packages, plus the one they bought, right?
As opposed to approx $200 for all e-peen under the current system?
I see the benefit to us as users, but not to CZ… |

True. Maybe it’s just me, but I would be more likely to buy something in bulk than get a bad deal for it. So I might come back later and buy the last package again? Maybe the extra E-Peens could be given the second time the package is bought?
eg… I buy FoF3. I get it’s E-Peen. I get 100BP. I go around FW happy and use up the BP. I notice that I need more. I look and see that FoF3 is still the best package, so i buy it again. Now, I get 3 more E-Peens, and a lot more BP than I would have gotten from the other packages (200 – 177 = 23 BP) |

now i have 23 more BP, FW has $10.02 more, and I’m a happy customer. (giving away all the E-Peen the first time IS a bad idea, but the second time around, it’s ok, since it leads to a profit for both sides) |

Hurr hurr Log in to see images!
BTW, I did by the larger pack… er… I brought the one that gave me the BFF Plutonium level E-Peen, so this proposition (ahem) would be a good idea…

The system is fine as is. Your suggestion would very likely reduce revenue as all 4 peens could be had for $100. Granted, I don’t think most players buy the bigger packages for the peens, they either want a bunch of bps or simply do so to support the game, but for those that do buy for peens it would cost less. |

I think u picked up on my flaw just like spacekadt did. I agree that my original idea is flawed.
Giving the previous peens the first time u buy a higher level package IS bad but giving them out the second time the package is purchased creates more profit
it works off of the idea that I have the money to buy both. Buying the most expensive package the second time will give the remaining three E-Peens. This means that you still have to pay $199.98, but would get more BP than buying Packages 3,4,5, and 6 individually.
Using the current plan, you could buy Packages 3,4,5, and 6 for $189.96 and get 177 BP. Using my fixed plan, one could buy Package 6 twice for $199.98 and get 200 BP. So FW makes $10.02 more , and we get 23 more BP. Both scenarios generate the same 4 E-Peens. ghax edited this message on 12/28/2008 3:34AM |
