I’m no expert but if players can earn 250 ancient coins every season pass and an additional 750 ancient coins if they purchase the Plunder Pass once doesn’t that mean every Plunder Pass from there on out is essentially free if no ancient coins are spent on anything else?
I personally own every Plunder Pass and I can’t remember the last time I had to purchase additional ancient coins.
I thought you were in the business of making money? Is it really asking too much of players to contribute $10 every season if they want premium cosmetics?
Here’s my take on a solution that doesn’t involve taking away any ancient coins that can be earned for completing the seasonal pass and reaching renown level 100.
You know how in order to purchase charity sails, players couldn’t use existing ancient coin and instead had to purchase the charity sails with currency instead?
Change the Plunder Pass so that it cannot be purchased with existing ancient coin and instead has to be purchased for $9.99 or whatever the equivalent is in your country.
Players can still earn the 999 ancient coin every season but can NOT use it to purchase the next season’s Plunder Pass. They can use the 999 ac on anything else they want in the emporium.
Now someone like me who will own every Plunder Pass regardless because I think it’s a good value will spend $10 every season instead of $0.
If revenue is becoming an issue this is the first change I would consider making if I was Rare. I don’t think it’s too much to ask players to support the seasonal update model with a $10 purchase every season if they want the premium cosmetics. You know, the cosmetics that will eventually make it to the emporium but cost 3x as much to buy.
P.S. This idea comes from the same person who has always advocated for a better safer seas and the option for solo players to join a server with other solo players exclusively.
