DeadlyNerd Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) I'm probably going to get flak for this but I think it's only fair to grant monthly allowance to founders depending on the size of the pack. Nothing too high, just about enough to show appreciation for supporting the game. I'm not presenting this because I need plat(I'm not even a founder), but because even if one pays the price of a retail game, he'll still have to keep paying to be able to use premium content later on. DE needs to eat and all, I know, but isn't it a bit arrogant and cheeky to keep asking for more money even though the player pretty much bought the game as retail. This is not a suggestion, but just an opinion and I'd like to see how the community reacts to this, specially founders.

Bakim0n0 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Not needed whatsoever... plus I throw money at DE because I love the game... honestly not a whole lot worth spending plat on really... I almost exclusively spend it on forma / taters as it is since buying weapons / warframes just robs me of gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalGerbil Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 i asked DE to send me a porsche. they said no. this probably isnt going to fly either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vabla Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 The founder packs are already the cheapest option for platinum so I'm kind of okay with what they offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaWuchi Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 They are asking me for money? :o Nowai I give because I want to support the game not because I want something from them. Also thanks for your opinion, I feel kinda flattered that you want to know our opinion xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawblade101 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Really unnecessary. I've still got nearly 2000 plat left from my masters package, I hate to think how much the grand masters have kicking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oni-shi Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If they want to give me more plat I am fine with that but as you can see it is really not needed. Most of us that are founders will do what we can to support the game. Now when it officially comes out it would be cool to get a few extras like storage space for weapons and all. Overall an allowance is not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadlyNerd Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Fair enough, point taken. Surprising though, how selfless everyone is considering all the threads about "outrageous" platinum prices going around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsubasakuroi Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Er... I guess like 20 plat per month would be kinda neat. "Here, have a free pototo or forma." But then again, I was reminded of Planetside 2's subscription system which is pretty much a different thing. >_>; Edited June 4, 2013 by tsubasakuroi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SocknBoppers Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I want more reasons to spend money on this game, legit reasons like appearance options and stuff. I don't see how there would ever be a need to spend another cent on this game with a monthly plat income? Nty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrkitao Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Fair enough, point taken. Surprising though, how selfless everyone is considering all the threads about "outrageous" platinum prices going around. The concern is that a single item costs as much as full games (several if you don't buy them on release) or that a standard monthly subscription to an MMO gets you less than a couple nights' worth of void runs. This doesn't solve that problem, if anything it would exacerbate it. Edited June 4, 2013 by Kyrkitao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleesus Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I always thought a permanent plat discount would have been a incentive to get founders. Or games do similar things to what i or the OP said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't solve that problem, if anything it would exacerbate it. Not exactly. It solves it in a way. Founders would get a number of insured void runs through that monthly allowance. It would be their own fault if they spent it on warframes/weapon packs/cosmetics, or in turn if they spent their allowance on void runs instead of cosmetics/warframes/weapon packs.

Kynian Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 To mee it's just much better to get weapons and warframes ingame, with no cost. Buying with plat it's expensive though. Things that actually matter are cheap on plat. Namely slots, potatoes and forma. That said, if by monthly allowance you mean something around 20-30 plat, then I'd like it, sure. A free slot/forma/potato per month is a nice bonus, and more of a gesture of goodwill than anything else. That said, although that'd be nice, I'm perfectly fine without it.

DAWGUNITALPHA Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Founders already get the deluxe treatment, they don't need more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxo Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Only thing I would have liked with my founders is something to make life a little easier, but not a lot. Something like extra 10% materials per drop would have been nice. After resetting I haven't spent a single plat yet, and doubt I will until slots are needed. As Bakim0n0 said, there's not really a lot of stuff you need to spend plat on if you got the time to farm it outside of slots and colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnaveSkye Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Considering the price of the Grand Master...I remember many games with subscriptions offering lifetime subscriptions( games lifetime, not yours) for similar prices or less. I love the game and don't regret supporting it, but I would much rather have paid a flat fee for access to all content over this. Maybe not unlock everything, but take away the main plat incentives...instant build times, unlimited weapon/frame slots, all things build with a potato, access to all blueprints for credits, polarization without forma. Another example is a F2P MOBA called smite....for a flat fee you can have access to all current and future gods released for the game, but you still have to pay for or earn cosmetic skins and voice packs.

Wriith Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Flak granted. I think think this is a pretty darn bad idea. As it is, many founders have excess plat. If you give them a monthly stipend, you're basically ensuring that they will never need to spend another dime on the game. Besides, we already got the best deal around on plat; I don't personally feel that DE needs to sweeten the pot anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
