Ok is a simple suggestion no is not gonna kill their monetization
Simply
Wy dont let player grind gold coin (no boundle) premium squad for 500k /1m of xp?
The premium squad wo get grinded dont get the additonal experience
(you can buy this after for half of the premium squad price)
player wo dont have the premium time cant use more than 1 grinded premium squad at time
(they can use how many purchased premium squad they like however)
I think is a good idea for make all people use them and make them more present other than boost the sell of premium time
Incentivize players with a little egold for playing each week. Maybe 1 egold for each match played, 1 for winning or playing different factions, capped at 10-50 egold a week. Enough to buy upgrades occasionally or to save up and get a premium squad or premium time after a few months.
No, it remains a bad idea for everyone who is willing to pay.
Paying either for a premium squad directly or for a BP that offers the option to grind for premium simply doesn’t make any sense until any bot AI isn’t fixed decently, and that includes premium squads. Just plain logic.
You wouldn’t pay for golden rims on your Porsche if the engine is a failure, would you?
Most obviously, there are enough players that are insane enough to buy premium squads in the current game’s status.
I personally can’t imagine what kind of mental illness you need to suffer of to buy this premium shit that reduces a game to a spend-fest, plus not even working properly at all, but hey, humanity is quite insane in general, so nothing surprises me much anymore.
If there wasn’t enough of these maniacs, this game would have already stopped the development process and died.
Paying for being able to grind for squads that are not working - that is.
These squads that depend on the AI, which is a total mess of a coding, aren’t worth a single cent.
Just like your Porsche that would start to stutter right after igniting the engine.
Oh, and btw, I would rather play this game for a full price standard retail, if there wasn’t ANY premium op (and that’s the idea of implementing them) squads, but just basic squads for anyone to use.
Pay to proceed is a game, fun and skill killer. Period.
