Introduction okay sooo hear me out.... not sure if these posts are seen by anyone anymore but I just gotta get this idea out of my head and on the forum. What if RF is modernized and reworked so it beats the pay to win allegations AND makes it more fun for older and newer players. sounds crazy at first BUT I think we could work something out here. Make stat version of items into carats/earn able via boxes that can be obtained via game play only. we could utilize the Build and Cosmetic sets fully with this option, this will sound extreme BUT what we could do is make all stat version of clothing carats but you cant wear it as an actual cosmetic item. you could still make the cosmetic version of these items as their current source of earning the item(BM, loot boxes, carat , rc, etc) and make more clothing options RC and make it the equivalent to something like a BR item shop, where all pure cosmetic items can be purchased with currency. Scrolls and Exos I kind of like the idea how some of the classic scrolls and exos became earn able via carats and are still surprisingly still meta for alot of modes. what could potentially happen is carat and rc rotation for various scrolls and exos for the months. What I mean by this is basically: we take a x amount of scrolls and x amount of exos and rotate which can be earned via carats or rc. If this worries about the revenue for the game, we could even do carat timed for 15 to 30 days so theres technically no pay to win aspect of the game since you can still earn your scrolls and exos via in game currency and get the luxury of permanently owning it via rc if its a rc item already. as for boxed scrolls and exos, I think the honest middle ground is letting players purchase 15 day versions of these in the shop and letting the box be a gamble for 30 day or perm if we really need to keep that in there as an option. BUT it would defeat the pay 2 win statement for sure Carat Economy Balance lets say by some magic reason all of this is even considered as a quality of life update, to accommodate these changes, we should do either a flat carat earning increase or special happy hour times where modes do 300% to 1000% carat increase for a few hours of the day. even special days where its full day carat increase days like how some modern games do with their XP events. this will attract and keep new players wanting to play this older game and thus more revenue potential for new players who really want to flesh out their looks and item varieties. BATTLE PASS!!!! NOW THIS could keep player engagement for this type of game guaranteed. the only downside is either rotation rares in the pass or way more consistent new content. but for now honestly just do rotation of current items and do either boxes or rares in the pass depending on how far the pass goes . could be a 100 tier, 30 tier, or even a 200 tier depending on what the filler is. Optional idea that sounds insane this is if we want to have fun with this idea but do not consider this really. basically make RC a hard yet earn able thing in the game, other games like hell divers let you earn their premium currency but its a insane grind to get it. CONCLUSION this is a SUPER rough draft of my ideas but again im fully aware this wont be read most likely but really needed to put this down somewhere.
This is rly good but tbh im not sure if GMs even look at this section of the forums anymore. might be better to contact GMs or something
