Donation Suggestions and Ideas

[sheam]

I secede the pay2win model and back the pay2shine business model. For many other successful free to play games, that philosophy is apparent:

Users who are in love with the game will want to show off their dedication through aesthetic appeal.

Any donation item that incurs any type of exclusivity in player performance is inherently doomed to fail as it alienates those whom can not afford the excuse of "I don't have enough money to get those items that are a clear gaming advantage," however, they can always say "I don't have enough money to get those items that make me look pretty."

Users can easily rationalize this concept and feel more obligated to donate in regards to respect rather than reward.

Sometimes, as leaders, it may be a difficult decision to choose "to give them what they want" vs "to give them what they need." So far, heRO has done an excellent and superb job at giving us "what we need."

We need an environment that does not allow duo client. We need an environment that rewards partying over soloing. What we don't need is segregation derived from classicism.

Presumptuous attitude aside.. (Which I can only assume is perceived this way to those who do not know me well.)

I'm merely voicing my opinion. My opinion is not draconian law. But. I do strongly believe my opinion is right.

Speaking for myself, I'd love to see Costume Headgears enter the game. I'd easily pay $10 for a costume headgear (upper only even) just like I've payed for skins on League of Legends. This doesn't mean any and all non-cosmetic idea contributions are a bad idea.. They're just extremely difficult to balance properly. I see people try to do this, and I commend them for it. They clearly have more experience at making that a possibility than I do.

Thank you for your consideration.
