Now they're selling costumes as well ...
(☉_☉”)
The pokebots have evolved
-
yes, they're selling costume now. omg T_T they might sell SW after few weeks hahaha
-
omg, i cant believe T-T
-
What can i say. Costumes and stuff is the main proffit of Gameforge. Now bots taking away that proffit. If Gameforge doesnt protect it's proffit what hope do we have for a protection of our interests as a players. At this state this game is more likely fkd.
-
It looks like pretty much a scam tho. There's no way they can get the costumes to sell at these prices

That is wrong. If they go with the third venue, or break-even with european standalone rates, (99 euros = 26k soulcash) gameforge is actually still profiting for intangible items.
The source of costumes can come from multiple avenues :
Liquidated player accounts that sell for below shop rates
Stolen credit cards with chargebacks
Norway Standalone/ Steam rates (the third gives you a calculation and shows they still profit)
Effectively they are acting as an intermediary for gameforge by negating the regional cost differences and soulcash rates of different countries, and allowing users to expend money without having to pay more for lower denomination soulcash packages.

This can be true, but the website itself still looks like a scam, just look at others pages like faq, messages and about us.

Soulworker is just a simulation of what it's going to be like when robots take over the world...
-
I dont understand why GF cant remove the bots
-
Nobody can, you'll see them in every game, even Blizzard games are full with it. You can delete a bot but they'll come back over and over again.
-
D: So, we will have bots forever? *Cry* T---T
-
Less bots if the economy inflation is a bit better. But no way with the current economy
-
I don't think that GF sees any money but that the money is charged back.
Also, let us all please keep in mind that these bots only exist because there are players who are buying from them. These people are the real problem. If you know someone is buying dzenai or suspect someone of it, report them. Don't go into instances with them, make other people in your guilds clear that you don't support this kind of behaviour. They are the ones who are ruining the game for everyone by a) causing inflation and b) being the reason for the bots' existence. Also, if GF should end up making less money, they will probably try to compensate this somehow, e.g. higher prices and stupid mini-games ('events') with awesome prices that make people throw their money at them... -
Soulworker Go release date when?

They also put caps on spending, so chargebacks are not as easy. It is very likely they are using norway/european rates as foot traffic for their sites.
Also, whenever you start a game model / business model, you will always have to assume something. Players of certain demographics who want to get gear advantages (the type of which you are trying to get revenue from), is probably the demographic that Gameforge is least likely to ban. Banning their own customers or potential customers is the worst outcome possible for gameforge. I already posited the solution in another thread to monetize this need.

how can the economy decrease? DX I think only GF can do it if increase the drop items

People will throw all these theories and methods but the truth is, in every single instance the outcome can differ.
So honestly, gameforge needs to do some testing on many suggested methods. Only problem is these things will take a while to test because economies don't usually change overnight so you'd have to implement a change then wait for data to gather. -
The best way is it to make Fashion soulbound by obtaining them. This isn't a solution for the problem but a first step at least.

True it is one way, but it's not a very nice way. I hope they try others before soulbinding more items >.>

Just the Premium Store items, the craftable stuff can be still tradeable
