I despised the super-grindiness of the Serpent event.....
However i liked the idea concept for it, it made the event more fun to operate in and not everyone was competing for the exact same site type.
If I may though.......
If CCP is going to keep putting Ship Skins as the main reward in them......
Then why not use a point system.......
Except make the point system award Arum for the NES in game store.
This way people can just use Arum for what ever NES items there is, and CCP can just add to the NES database for all sorts of things.
Things like consumables of course should still drop according to Loot tables; ie drugs, cerebral boosters, etc |

Things like consumables of course should still drop according to Loot tables; ie drugs, cerebral boosters, etc Because the point of these events is to add limited lines of skins that you have to do the event to get, not to give away any skin in the store (that you have to normally get via PLEX or money) that players may want. Doing it this would would significantly disincentivize spending money on skins to sell and would pretty much crash the market for NEX store skins, neither of which benefits CCP or is generally desirable.
It was just a thought.....and seeing how the Barghest Nova skin lasted for only 3 days when it came out it seems to me that the same limited skins could be removed from the NES when the event closes.....or anything else they might put in it for the even duration.
That would still make them limited, and the database work for adding them to the NES would already be completed for future use. (thinking the serpentis skins here)
It would give the players a choice, use the arum on the event items.....or use it on something else.
And knowing CCP, they could still make that a grindy affair....5 arum for frgs, 10 for cruisers, 50 for BC and so on.....without changing or lowering the Aurum prices on stuff. |
