credit2team Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Poor people, like myself, enjoy warframe as much as the next person. So why should they bee deprived of warframe and weapon slots? The solution to this problem is easier than you think. By offering platinum as a reward for weekend events poor people could unlock slots slowly but surely. This would also help the success of the events themselves by offering a reward players actually want. We need to welcome players into the game regardless of their financial situation. Let us embrace the poor a brothers and allies rather than treat them as pariahs and unwelcome guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paptimus Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) and then DE loses their chance at making money because theyre giving platinum away listen friend, theres a chance you can get 75% off on your next platinum purchase upon login, thats almost free like you desire, i got some 50% off already, 75% is probably harder, but its there. i for one, am open to the suggestion that players get some free slots when they advance to certain mastery ranks, but free platinum for slots on weekend events is too easy, specially considering slots is one of the few things you can`t get ingame, which probably means its one of the main incomes DE has.

Inferno_Hamster Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I'm poor. You know what I did. I saved up money. After paying for food, rent, gas, bills, repayment on my student loans, I have anywhere from 20-50 dollars that I can spend on my self each paycheck.

Eisvogel Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) For the people who answer "hey you get platinum free" and such crap, refrain from answering really.... that has been said before.... and with the free plat you get, you can't do squats.... you can't play the game properly without much more slots that you can get, both for weapons and frames... and specially for frames (and weapons not easily obtained as alert weapons and clan weapons that need forma to build). I bought slots because i wanted to support warframe and i like to collect items...... but the ones who want to play for free or can't afford to pay (due money or country problems), shouldn't be restricted to play properly.... it should be a cosmetic thing only imo. For OP, you should take into account that there are many many many threads like this one..... before making yet another one and keep spamming the forums like with armor scaling threads and such, it would be best to search for an existing one and reply there.

Paptimus Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Get a job hes probably poor and lazy, that wouldn't work. saving also works like the guy above said, tried that? slots are pretty cheap overall so saving for a few isnt hard. overall i feel for you, but its also a terrible idea, if they started making it so much easier to get free platinum(outside of livestream giveaways) what would be the point of buying platinum? we could just wait and get it freely anyways, honestly, this game already gives too much for free, stop begging for more.

Archistopheles Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 If I wanted to play this game 100% free, I would have made 3+ accounts; each having different weapons and frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicSnake Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I'm poor myself. Very much so in fact. To the point that I have trouble getting anything at all (I'm in the low end of lower class). HOWEVER... I compensate with this for a job, saving money for essentials, etc. By being smart with my spending habits, I can get the things I need and then some, in this case that being in Warframe. Also, slots should not be blindly given away. DE is both the developer and publisher, and this is free to play. Therefore, they need some source of income to pay for their MANY employees, their servers, their work ,etc. Although things can be expensive, I understand where you are coming from, yet at the same time I think DE is justified in asking for payment for certain things. Besides, you can get along in the game just fine without having a ton of slots. If you want more slots, like others have said, save your money, spend it wisely, use it for things you need, and you will have plenty left over for any Warframe purchases.

J-Pax Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 then at least you have some disposable income. Many, including me, do not. So it would be fair to say you are LESS poor than the people I am speaking about I really do not mean any offence by saying this, nor do I mean to target you - but if you do not have $5 of disposable income in order to buy 2 warframe slots and 6 weapon slots a month then maybe you shouldn't be playing games. I really don't mean any harm by this, but if you have nill disposable income then I definitely would be more focused on either getting a better job or working more hours in order to allow me to get what I want out of my free time.

Letter13 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) How about no. as said earlier: that's whats called "disposable income" many people do not have that. Do not assume that everyone is in your same situation. Time spent posting and griping on the forums is time that can be spent making money, so that you don't have to post and gripe on the forums. Or, alternatively, if you want a new weapon, sell off one you currently have. And before you get all "But you're a Master, wahhhh, you don't have to worry about it, wahhhh, I should get everything you can get with money but for free waaaahhhh"..... actually... I forgot what I was going to say. Just don't pull that card. It makes you look spoiled regardless of your financial situation.

Because spending 1 extra hour a day "focusing" on getting hired will make a difference. Every job offers more hours? Also If someone is barely making ends meet they shouldn't be allowed to play video games? can we stop with the facile and hostile judgments of the poor already?
