Your first 2 line said something very plain, simple and clear. You are admitting that you looked up at the bar and you are not willing to try and reach for it but instead asking for the bar the be lowered.Nope. My point is very plain and simply this.
The bar shouldnt be too high for a player playing from day 1. Beta is beta, whales will be whales, but you do not make your events just to suit these players, you should make your events to the level of someone who is playing from day 1! Simple as that!
There is a very simple reason most games wipe after beta, because of inconsistencies like these! You cannot make the event hard enough for beta that it would be feasible for non beta players to complete, but yet you cannot make it feasible to complete for official launch players, but keep it consistently challenging for beta! This is NOT a level playing field and experience on both ends will obviously be different!
But you SHOULD cater to the majority! And I doubt beta + whales will be the majority. Majority of spenders maybe, but not your player base majority. You will not get new spenders if your new crowd do not enjoy your events or find it fair.
You can argue back: who say I(you) never try and reach for it.
Yeah I believe you did, i really do. But to reach the highest bar is not a instant thing. I'm sure you reached somewhere up in the "bar", and you set your eyes on the highest bar, and that is fine! But be a bit realistic, you know how well your team can do right now. But can still can train a bit harder to reach your goal.
I think of it as: trial of strength. Everyone can enter, but how far can you reach. Can't the reach the top? Try again when you are stronger.
Yes yes. This event is time limited. It should be. If not, it will not be labelled as "event" but a quest or something.
Do you agree that you are admitting to, you, trying to reach for the highest bar but couldn't reach it and asking for the bar the be lowered instead?
