Crew Skills Need to Be Removed

No you just waded in to try and undermine my point without reiterating your own.

The entire purpose of my suggestion vs the OP’s is in response to your point, it evades lawsuits while accomplishing a similar game design. So undermining yours = making mine, they are one and the same…

Or whatever? Yeah just leave it and repair the great chunks of the game that are broken and have been for a long time.

You carp on about your answer and then I see what a half-arced solution it is. I expected the wonder answer to match your own perspective of your own intelligence. Wow was I disappointed lol

Yes, “when they join, or whatever”, as in, “not necessarily when they join. it could be whenever they unlock a new crew slot instead, etc.”

You carp on about your answer and then I see what a half-arced solution it is.

Can’t wait for you to explain how it’s a half-arced solution. it solves lawsuits, and you haven’t mentioned any other issues with it.

Yeah …whatever.

Okay, you want exact specifics that don’t matter here? Fine.

  • Give players PRECISELY 3,000 initial crew points to spend on each new crew slot they unlock (whether it be one of the SL ones or GE ones or initial ones you start with), when they unlock it.

  • This 3,000 points also applies retroactively to current players and their crew slots as of the update that releases this.

  • Make all modes have AB levels of crew skill point gain (crew skills are currently faster in AB, bring up RB and SB to that level), and then increase the gain rate a further 10x.

Happy? none of that was actually relevant for our discussion, but there ya go.

Or keep it as it is as because the game is about making money and if it didn’t it wouldn’t exist.

Again my sole point was that the lawsuit argument didn’t work. The other 350 or so comments here can handle whether it’s a good idea in its own right outside of lawsuits. I have nothing much to add other than the already many-times-repeated obvious point that pay-2-progress or pay-2-decorate are way less poisonous to a game than P2W.

Prove it.

How do I "prove"a negative of lack of lawsuits? Why don’t you show me an example of a successful lawsuit that DID happen where a person sued a company for simply having a normal-ass sale on their merchandise?

E.g. Simmons vs Walmart, lawsuit for the fact that Simmons bought a TV for full price in October, but another guy got it 50% off in November for Black Friday sales, found in favor of Simmons. (lol)

Because by your logic, companies can’t ever have basic sales, since “it opens you up to unacceptable lawsuit risk to give something away for less than other people bought it previously for” i.e. exactly what I described. Including Gaijin – you disapprove of their anniversary sales too, right?

She’s back ,gotta have that last word.

I posted a whole series of Video related lawsuits, the top ones of 2022.

Also if you made purchases form Gajin on your credit card you can take action via that. You can also raise complaints via Paypal who may take the money back form Gaijin and make them chase for it.

Unless Gaijin are a criminal organization, they have to abide by the various laws applied to local and international trading. There are ombudsmen in certain countries and off course the company’s reputation to uphold if they want player to keep spending with them.

Seriously, have you just fallen from a tree? Are we not going over the painfully obvious here? Gaijin are charging 75 dollars for something, and you think customers won’t miss that money if Gaijin rip them off? 15k GE or 150 GE it’s all cash, all needs to be legal.

You can’t just charge for something then bin it and not expect comeback even if it’s unsuccessful.

Understand the law, Check out the UK sales of good acts and related law.

You pay for something you should get it. Picking over pedantic detail is why court cases can take months or even years. I have been involved in suits, court cases and had my sister bore me with it all while she was doing her degree.

You are fixating on a small point I raised, and you are wrong in every way with what you said.

Who knows how much the public have spent on this game over the years, you think it is all beyond the law of every land the game exists in? Get real.

Yes and I read it. Guess how many of them were for someone selling or giving away something for less $ than they sold it to someone previously?

If you guessed “Zero of them” ding ding ding, you win!

Unless Gaijin are a criminal organization, they have to abide by the various laws applied to local and international trading.

Show me a single law, in any capitalist country, where “Having a basic sale on merchandise” (selling X for less than you sold X to someone in the past, the exact thing I suggested) is illegal.

Also if you made purchases form Gajin on your credit card you can take action via that. You can also raise complaints via Paypal who may take the money back form Gaijin and make them chase for it.

Where in any credit card or paypal terms does it say they will investigate or take action against companies having basic sales? Link please.

Gaijin are charging 75 dollars for something, and you think customers won’t miss that money if Gaijin rip them off?

I didn’t say anything whatsoever about ripping anyone off. In my proposal, they got exactly what they paid for, it would not be taken away, and it would continue to do exactly what it was advertised as doing for them, until the day the game goes out of business and closes its servers

You pay for something you should get it.

And they did get it. And I’m not taking it away, they get to fully keep it. Do you literally still not even understand what I proposed even though I laid it out for you with exact numbers and everything just earlier?

Crew Skills Need to Be Removed - #445 by A_Cute_Chihuahua Here is again my exact proposal, since you didn’t see it the first time clearly

I just like to remind or point out two facts:

Talismans can be rank degraded. I once bought a rank 3 talisman, which is now a rank 1 talisman.

Premiums can be SL% degraded. This can happen to the point that the free clone gets more than the premium.

Gaijin did both in the past.

And this isn’t even that, this is NO downgrade at all. It’s just giving the same thing they got to other people for cheaper than they paid for it, but their version still does 100% of what it did before. So those exampels of yours are much more extreme.

I don’t know what syndrome or issue you suffer from, but I didn’t read your diatribe. I am not really that interested. All I know is that if I spend money with Gaijin and they rip me off they will be hearing from me and they will lose a customer who is spending.

You obviously rate yourself incredibly highly sadly I don’t rate you that highly, all I see is you argue with everybody on here over anything and focusing and fixating on any random point you can. Somebody needs to tell you that you really are not as intelligent as you think you are. I imagine most on here have just put you on ignore.

There are some really knowledgeable people on this forum that I quite admire and learn a lot from, and you certainly are not one of them.

Imagine continuing to post in a thread you’re too disinterested and lazy to even read. Why would you post when you have no idea what’s going on anymore lol?

[bunch of ad hominems and tantruming]

Yes clearly you are confident you’re in the right. Yup.

It certainly does and it no doubt feels it is able to do so and it may be able to do so but in doing so it is also open to being caught out under certain circumstances. Look at VW and how they got caught out over the emissions scam. Got away with it for years.

Just takes one person with the cash to say hand on there I paid for a certain thing, and you have removed it. Can anybody tell me that will not ever happen here when it has happed to so many other companies especially over DLC related issues. We live in a world of Ambulance chasers.

I imagine most on here have just put you on ignore.

Good. I prefer not to bother with people who make things up and cannot provide any evidence of anything they claimed out of thin air. My audience on this topic is Gaijin anyway, not you. They can still now see clearly that the guy warning them of a lawsuit actually had:

  • ZERO examples of any such lawsuit ever happening for a company giving away X when they sold X for more money previously,

  • ZERO examples of any relevant laws preventing this,

  • ZERO examples of any credit card policies stopping it,

…and in general turned out to have absolutely no idea what he was talking about, He doesn’t even care about the topic in his own words. So they should be less concerned about that now.

Boring ,goodbye.
