View Full Version : Exclusive Items in cash shop - an idea

Firstly, let me start by saying that I fully support the Cash Shop concept, I've seen several discussions on the topic and my personal opinion is that it is legitimate for the good people of Gunrox to be able to make a living from a work well done and that those who care to spend money on the game will have an edge due to their investment. I therefore also support having exclusive items that can be purchased and not found in boxes.

But, the one thing that bothers me is not knowing how to build my units as a non-payer. It is annoying to build, say, a miner unit strategically, only to find that high level mines cannot be found in the battlefield and can only be purchased (just an example, don't know if it's true).

So, my idea is quite simple really. All items that are Exclusive to the Cash Shop will be identified as such in the shop. This, IMHO, will do two goods: will allow non-payer to plan units that are playable without spending money AND will encourage others to buy, now that they'll know that they are really gaining an edge over non payers by purchasing this stuff.

Simple to do, and I think makes a lot of sense.

Comments anyone?

P.S got to play in the lost beach for the first time, kudos for the design!

Our concept is that all items that can be purchased in shop should be spawned on the battlefield. The reality is that we don't have location for higher levels yet, so there is no place to spawn high level items. Once we will introduce new snowy location for level 30+, all cash shop items will be spawned there.
