terrible outdated mechanic that needs changed
also my condols to all those dictor pilots out there who cry themselves to sleep because of CCP's inaction Being frightened of that loss is what makes Eve combat exciting. Its not the clone to ship ISK ratio that prevents you from flying certain ships, it is rather your own assessment of risk vs. reward. If you want to lower the risk there are tools at your disposal to do that, but don't ask for the table minimum wager to be changed because its too steep for you. That is so disrespectful to the people there because the minimum bet is high.
That propably sounded nice and dandy in your own head, but it doesn't really make much sense, if you actually think about it. His argument is, that such high clone costs leads to a situation where it becomes a tangible prohibitive factor especially to the lower cost tier PvP. This is factually easy to understand and verify, since your clone cost alone can multiply your losses by many tens of times depending on the clone grade. It is unfair because that cost isn't tied in any direct way to the performace you get from your ship and seems like bad business practice, because you're punishing excessively those who have been your long time customers.
Nothing you said even tries to dispute that. All you basicly said is that the costs don't matter to you and you tried to link the system to betting. Let's look at betting then. Do the games you bet on automaticly get more expensive as the number of games you've played over the years increases or does the same game cost the same amount for all players no matter their age? Are you physically unable to play just for fun or with small bets anymore? Isn't it actually so, that the player chooses for themselves what games they play, what levels of risk they take and the time they've been betting is entirely irrelevant to that cost?
You should easily see, that the issue isn't about minimum bets for a game, but allowing people to make a choice about which table they play at. The high stakes table is still there available for everyone who wants to play, but you're no longer told you can't play low stakes games. Now you're free to play how you want and put on the wagers you're comfortable betting with. Since the gains are tied to the amount you bet, there can be no harmful efects to the casino operations. All that actually happened is the casino suddenly stopped restricting the gameplay choices of their oldest customers. |
