Both players are working their asses off, Player B was instantly granted a spot in a lineup? No, he too had to work his ass in order to be skilful enough to participate and accumulate that amount of kills, and I'm sure he won't achieve it from the first time.

Who claimed that gang events were the only way to win prizes? What happened to that weekly spar tourney?

It's not the same and you know it.

We are talking about gangs here.
EDIT: what weekly spar tourney, anyways? I don't recall

Let's be honest, Graal doesn't take that much skill. Especially these days. Buy an expensive gun, hold d, profit.

Or, just lag.

Is there skill involved? Of course. Does it take as much time as picking enough flowers to buy an MS or M1 would? Absolutely not.

Chris did this weekly spar tourney ordeal for a bit, didn't last more than a month. The winner of the spar tourney got a statue in the complex and 5 ecs, same went for tagteams.

And why is it the pkers fault for fulfilling the original purpose of era instead of brainlessly picking flowers?

Another thing I don't like about instant mega prizes for events is the fact that the same person will constantly win it. And with their newly earned lame weapons from the previous event, the odds are even more in their favor. I wouldn't mind doing something with a point system where "big" events give more points, as long as there is still ways for the good, but not greatest, pkers to earn points in smaller events. The points could eventually be cashed in for prizes or something. This would work very well with MontyPython's event system idea: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=85369

It's not.

You're trying to act like it takes as much effort, it doesn't. If anything, this just shows how terrible the economy is.

But it does take effort, except you're investing in your ability similarily to riding a bike you won't lose it easily. Rather than doing the same repetitive chore of picking flowers.



As for sales, I do agree that gangpoints could be "cashed in", that would be a fantastic idea.

Hey, I used to have flower picking down to a science. 4k an hour, thank you very much.

No, but I get what you're saying. It would be interesting if by PKing you could get closer towards a weapon, but there's a lot better ways to do it than handing out OP **** at gang events. Points playing into that would be cool.

bump

the ideas in this thread are golden imo.

to be honest, I loved the pirate chat filter... lol

No.

No.

No.

Sorry, But all your question's fail. I play Era because i enjoy hanging out there with friends and have fun with useless crap like throwing my boomerang everywhere i can.

Revival: You can't in all sense tell me that Era requires no level of mastery whatsoever. That whoever has the biggest gun, is bound to win. I can hand you an Mp5 Navy and use Dual Handguns and I guarantee that you will lose (Done it before).

Skill is the most irrefutable resource on the game, its the one of the few things that cannot be reset, removed, altered and etc.

Player A (Economist): Spent his time Picking Flowers and etc, inevitably becomes the richest player on the game.
Has purchased the most powerful weapons, but has neglected obtaining PK Skill.

Player B (PKer): Spent his time in the spar arena or on the PK Field, gaining money for nothong other than Ammunition. Has an adequate weapon given to him by a Gang Leader that is intrigued by his talent.

Reset Hits:

Who has more to show for it?

So CaptainSkittles, give it a shot. By an expensive gun, hold d and lets see how far it gets you. Thats the problem these days, new players trying to alter the entirety of the gameplay to revolve around their ideals, Era is a PK-Server, PK Ability gets you EVERYWHERE in the game, whether you accept it or not. Example: Me

Of all my hours, I probably have spent 10-12 of them actually working.

If you're not good enough to win the weapon in the event, then do what you do best. Pick flowers for 12 weeks and purchase it from the guy who was. :D

I hate to admit it, but, Wil's entirely correct.

Agreed completely, as well as the hate to admit it ;).
