You answered no ones questions, you just made more questions to ask...

Kinda like they did with the wheel, subtly removed the 500 cultivation runes and introduced quickly the discount vouchers in a short period of time to try to salvage/band-aid it instead of fixing it.
If you compare in-game vs. this threads official picture, 2 items don't match.
Now, they can either deal with it and admit that they were wrong and start fixing it, or attempt to trick the community and take advantage of their power...

I wonder what happened to the phrase "The customer is always right", seems like this sentence doesn't belong in oasis games dictionary. At least it hasn't been for the past 2 weeks.

Wanna know something else that's funny?
I was thinking of getting sailor sakura since I didn't have the chance last time,
Turns out it's a horrible deal.
50% Discount voucher + the "discount" layer they provide nets it at 2160 ingots/coupons for 80 frags.
That's more expensive alone compared to the event before, which was around 1700-1800 coupons/ingots.
And this doesn't account for the ingots spent spinning, as you mentioned it's rigged, so it will take quite a lot.
Guess not sailor this time for me :/

You should consider buying a book on marketing or taking a marketing class, this is one of the things you should avoid doing as a company. It has been proven many times that it's a lot more expensive and time consuming to get new customers compared to having loyal customers stay.

So what would make a loyal customer stay? Events and updates.

And how do they get revenue from a loyal customer? This game has it easy since people are willing to pay a lot for not that much content. Imagine if in a game like witcher 3 you had to pay for a pet, people would be outraged and not buy it. Here it's considered normal. So they have a good source of revenue.

Now how do they maximize this?
Events. Good, efficient, high to standard events.
Know that guy who doesn't spend that much? Make a discount event which slightly decreases prices, boom he suddenly buys. They get money, both parties are happy.

What do these events we got do? They make people disappointed, they don't feel up to the standard, they feel sad.
This is how you lose loyal customers.
This is bad.

This is why people are "* hurt", doing events like these benefits no one.And the cherry to top it off is, it's christmas season now, so people wouldn't even mind spending more money th*ual on good quality events.

But that's the thing, that's "your 2 cents".
Just look at the forums, everyone is mad, everyone is complaining. Big spenders aren't spending, even the big spenders like killua is complaining on the forums.
Just because you don't feel like they were bad doesn't deny the fact that everyone else does.
Unless you are gonna spend millions(don't take this number amount literally, it's just a metaphorical number) on this event to counter-act the fact that no one else is spending, then it obviously wasn't a good idea.
And you can't really categorize this game as the rest of the gaming industry, the rest of the gaming industry is this like -> You sell the game for 20-60$ -> You maybe add a little micro transactions and then move on the next project.
This game doesn't work like that, this game can easily net in thousands and thousands from 1 single player, so trying to keep players for as long as possible is in their interest rather than gaining more quicker.

Nvm - This was directed at the wrong person, nothing to look here, this reply was useless. This post was last edited by Zerual at 2016-12-23 06:08

Comparing this game with age of wushu is like comparing WoW with counter strike, they are too different really to be effectively compared.

In age of wushu you need to actually download a client, there are tons of other games who are pretty much the same or even better than that, there isn't really much of an incentive to spend unless you are actually pushing for ranks.
This game is different, you can just open your browser and get in, everything revolves around spending, everything tempts you to spend, ranks matter a lot more since they are super visible and gives more rewards. And the gameplay is also drastically different.

Also the competition vs. this game in the same category is very tiny, this game is one of the less p2w browser games out there, f2p people actually can beat p2w people, this game caters on the fact that it's a naruto game, which there aren't that many "MMO"s on if any and it's a very well made game for being a browser game.

Oh, holy * I am blind, my bad dude. Xd

Well think about it, would you buy 10 scrolls for 1250 coup/ingots?
Probably not.
Would you buy 10 scrolls for 400 coupons/ingots?
Yes. Most likely.

"If you're spending you're spending cause you really want a certain ninja or to up your bp most likely"
Don't we all want like 90% of the ninjas anyways? :V
And that deal I mentioned above, it doesn't really ensure you get a ninja, but it's an event deal which makes people buy. Why? Because it's a really really good event deal and sort of makes you reconsider that "huh, I should probably buy even if I wasn't planning, that's a * fine deal."
This is what makes people stay longer in hopes of getting these events every now and then.
Even a wheel that has rewards like, 50 coupons, Ningendo pain 80 frags, seal scroll x1, summong scroll x2, lvl 3 mag x1 and so on

All these deals are very tempting for 20 ingots (that seems to be the theme, for spenders that's fine), but do they lose revenue when they do this? Nope, they gain because people spend towards them, someone might even do 50 rolls. Someone might do 100 rolls. That's a lot of ingots.
Would you spend on the current wheel? Probably not unless you really really really want animal path pain.
And if someone tops of and gets all the content you can get in the game?
Updates. New ninjas get introduced.
Susano Itachi for instance, 2000/8000/Whatever$* to get him, like 3 already got him. *Don't know the amount, but still, it's a lot.
Why? Basically because he is new, fresh and really cool.
They could have spent it on power or waited for events, but they spent it because it was a really cool new update.
So there isn't really an issue of running out of content really.

Where do you see one like that? Look at the events, they haven't done anything to improve them, obviously they aren't listening.
