MrSuperAwesome Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Warframe should support some survey or offer system to earn platinum. (Other games have done it, it's quite common for F2P games to do this). If this is already being planned, or is expected to be implemented, then good. If not, I'm curious why? I'm mostly making this post because I'm 2 plat away from buying a warframe slot and potato for my next frame, but it would also be a good way for Warframe to still get money from the non-spenders crowd.

Dtexas Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 No thanks. I personally don't think the game needs it. And should go its own route instead of the route of every other f2p games out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateodon Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Those surveys are some of the most annoying things on the planet. "Fill out a 90 second survey and earn 50 Gold" 10 minutes later I've been redirected to half a dozen websites, answered the same questions 15 times, and given my email address to infinite spam-sites. And then the survey conveniently dead-ends without delivering the promised gold. No thanks, I'd rather be audited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyaldyn Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Pros: More ways to earn platinum FREE Cons: People whining The pros obviously outweigh the cons. /thread Most surveys either A) don't work or B) have hidden costs such as monthly subscription. (Really? Just for your opinion, or email address, or phone number, they pay for your platinum? I don't think so.) Both of them would result in increased amount of support tickets. That's a big con. Support is already taking up to two weeks. Let's not make that a month. Edited August 1, 2013 by 3ventic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pros: More ways to earn platinum FREE Cons: People whining The pros obviously outweigh the cons. /thread Pros: You might get 1 to 3 legit free Platinum. Cons: Most of the "special offers" will end up costing more than their worth of Platinum (ie: subscribe to a magazine for $15 and get 25 Platinum). Your email will be spammed. You will have to give out personal information to shady websites. After 3 pages of questions you will get "You do not qualify for this survey". Anyone who genuinely thinks they could get enough Plat to even buy a single potato is delusional. Edited August 1, 2013 by Mateodon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charleon Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 DearMrSuperAwesome, This option will only work if DE actually makes it themselves. Basically if they make the survey for their own usage. That option isn't that bad, but I must agree with the rest, the normal spam for free in-game credits are a pain in the &#!. Sincerely, charleon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd actually be making less money than they would get through these referral/scam/survey sites. Any surveys DE were to put forth would probably also be skewed for the top 1 or 2 answers in MC survey questions, too. Because damn I just wanna get the platinum.

Dear Azure_Kyte, I agree on that it would be rushed as all hell... You have proved a very valid point why it won't work (easily).

123Olympian Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Pros: More ways to earn platinum FREE Cons: People whining The pros obviously outweigh the cons. /thread Lol no. Pros: Free Platinum Easier ways for obtaining items. ["More ways" is just sugar coating it, "fluffing" your arguement does'nt make it any better.] Cons: Steriotypical of most games Complains Spammings Devs losing money as platinum is a primary source for money. --- Note, The Devs are just like us. They do need some money. They do need to eat. They do need a house. They do need to drink. They do have a family to take care of. Note this game is independantly funded. I think they give out too much already with 1-2k platinum prizes and daily rewards giving you free discounts for platinum.

Dear Deaths.Reap3r, Force of habit, due to working at help-desk for my studies. Plus, it is less "offensive" and I personally find people listen better this way instead of the normal "forum yelling". I tend to give a more business type answer, for those reasons. Sincerely, charleon P.S: It's too automated for these things. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
