Dwemyrn Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Recently Sheepy increased the cost of donating and implemented the coins in the game. However, I feel that increasing the cost of donation should possibly increase how much you'd get when you cash in a credit. Currently credits can be cashed in for $750,000 in game currency, I think it would be a nice change if they can instead give a full million. It's a nice clean number, and may add a little more incentive to donate because of the increase of reward for doing so. What are everyone thoughts on this? 1 -removed by thor- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atzuya Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Just sell what you have on the market. People are more than willing to buy for more than a million each anyway right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory House Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Have to be careful with the sell price for credits. 1m should be good though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spite Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Voted no. Sheepy stated already the price increase was to allow him more server space for a speed server. Donations are ultimately there to pay for this to remain a growing game, not to give people money. I think 750k per 5$ is a reasonable amount which allows people to support the game without giving them a big advantage (once your daily income is 500k$, 750k$ doesn't give such a big advantage anymore). 2 ☾☆ Priest of Dio just because the Nazis did something doesn't mean it's automatically wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwemyrn Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Do you want this game to be pay to win, because that is how you get a game to be pay to win. According to this logic, you're already paying to win if you're donating at all. -removed by thor- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eviljak Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Actually, I would prefer other bonuses beyond just cash. Like bonus infra, or reduced land purchase costs...maybe increase productivity of all improvements by a percentage. Something beyond just the money boost. As it is....the credits on the open market are really only worth their money values. If credits are to be a commodity, they need other bonuses.

Fox Fire Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) According to this logic, you're already paying to win if you're donating at all. No. There's a reason donations are limited. There is absolutely no need for an increase just to please your eyes. It's at 750,000 because each credit is worth just that. IE: If you buy 2 credits, that's 750,000 x 2 = 1,500,000. You are allowed to cash in 6 credits per month for a total of 4,500,000. So if we increase it to 1,000,000, that's $6,000,000 you can pay to gain each month. 4.5 million is plenty. Pay to win is bullshit.

People are more than willing to buy for more than a million each anyway right now To all who say no, anyone who has donated, has paid for upper hand, which means if you donated by the logic of "No" you were paying to win in teh first place, so increasing the increment to a very slight would make no sudden difference at all, especially to those who donate on a monthly basis. The Increase on what you would get from this, would benefit a smaller guy, a larger guy, would basically be paying the bills for upkeep of their nation and not much would actually be extra, especially given the fact that people are currently using embargoes to break the economy by making things like cheap bauxite cost more than the refined version of it, aluminum. -removed by thor- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 You are forgetting market balance, and the fact that if the reward is increased, people will need to donate less often, which effects the server bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An additional 1.5 million a month is considerable. Donations are not meant to be a buy to win thing, which is why they are limited and not overly helpful. I've also never donated, and if I did it would only be for a flag. Which I can now get without donating.
