Cash Shops, and Payment Model PollDiscussion

Post » Wed Jul 24, 2013 3:14 am

This topic came to mind after watching this video on Yahoo news: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/trending-now/apple-refunds-6-000-dad-bill-run-8-170932302.html?vp=1

Basically, his 8 year old daughter spent $8,000 on accessories within these 'free' games over a few months. What does this mean? Well, firstly, that the dad should pay more attention....Secondly, I personally believe that it shows how out of hand the idea of paying for things in a free game can be.

No, relax, I'm not saying the same thing will happen with ESO; I'm 98% sure that Zenimax would make a much more reasonable shop, if we were to have one. Just posting this video/article and poll to get peoples thoughts on it. I've heard mixed info on this, between 'yes', and 'no info yet'. So, here's a moderately detailed poll regarding the subject.

Yay.

Also, yes, I did look for another thread with the payment model as the subject, and did not find one on the first 2 pages. I believe this thread is unique enough to hold its own.

Well, my wish of not seeing a payment thread for at least two weeks didn't last long enough.

Alright guys, let's reset the timer and see how long we can go this time around.

(P.S. I hate payment model threads)

Oh, and I want it P2P.

I selected P2P with cash shop, and nothing in the shop because I hate them, but it depends what is in them.

Basically I don't mind the cash shop that WoW has, that currently sells nothing but mounts and vanity pets, but I don't like it. Its just tolerable and its not even as nice looking as the stuff you can earn in the game itself. I don't find it as offensive as the shops that sell everything possible.

I prefer P2P for reasons that are too numerous to list here because I've listed them dozens of times here alone.

Too bad. :|

I've probably seen just as many as you, but other threads/polls didn't cover specifics, which I was actually curious about.

What else are we to discuss? How much we want to be in beta?

I want to be in beta... :(
