clearly you dont realize that you can already play free & you dont have to pay for the coins that you are offered to buy... so either way whats your point ? you need to make more sense, because many people that do play pvp dont buy coins as it is, and also i realize what the current setup is, you clearly are saying "pay to play free" and "play free to pay".... i see no difference.. if players didnt want players who pay for coins playing with them, why on earth would they "pay to play without coins"... Clearly they just wanna play for free without having people paying for coins, why not have a pvp server like that and one you actually "pay to play and buy coins or just play and are able to buy coins" honestly why even this topic?? theres nothing wrong with our current one, its doing great if you ask me
Ok, the original PVP system was free to enter. The game behaved exactly like all the other servers. It was basically a server you could choose to enter and play, that only lasted for 15 days. The developers original advertised it as a place where the top players from all servers could come together to see who was the best (paraphrasing). Very early on people began complaining about coin buyers having a huge advantage over people who didn't (just search coin buying in pvp). Most people wanted a pvp where coin buying was not allowed, so that everything would rely on tactics and skill, but it became pretty apparent that the developers would not do this because the coin buying in pvp brought them in quite a bit of money. So the idea to have an entrance fee (so that the developers could still make money in theory), without the option to buy coins (so that the player with the most skill, not the most coins stands a better chance at winning) was suggested.
The developers did change the pvp system the next time around. It is still free to enter and everyone starts out with 300 coins (I believe), and there is a limit to how many coins you can buy in a day. This was a great improvement, but still (I feel) gives those that buy the most coins the biggest advantage.
So I set up this poll to see if people were content with this improvement; or if they would rather have the system where you pay a fee to enter but are on equal ground no matter the amount you have to spend; or the original system; or both the first and second option combined.
