Furdle's and Pass' StarWars Battlefront Server - "Flawless Shop System"

[The Resonte!]

Well, at least I don't call it an argument. You can call it whatever you want. Besides, it's pretty much over.

Not fond of the shop system myself. Especially when you need to get so many kills to get some of the weapons. I'm not waiting around until I get 50 kills to buy a gun

this

they need to make 1 kill like, 3-5 points or something.

Or have people start with a better default weapon.

I think it was like 5 or 10 points to the first buyable weapon.

This idiot keeps going around servers with this crap:

Hey, that's the guy that was impersonating me!

Shop systems are a stuffty attempt by a designer to force people to play their games longer. Anyone who says otherwise is honestly just lying to themselves.

been playing the server, also noticed this about the weapons

but, that would be balanced

oh wow lol

that's actually not true.
There's this thing called accomplishment, something you feel when you've completed a task.
It's a very nice thing to experience.

if that were case, one would be doing something productive

I don't think you understand the idea of accomplishment in games.

It feels good to go over a hurdle (such as farming kills to earn a weapon you want)
Then getting rewarded for your work.

People enjoy that. It's not a ploy to keep people at your server/game. People will leave if they think it's stuff. A in-game shop system isn't going to force them to stay.

I have never, not once in my entire life, had a problem with DMs being "unfair" because of the shop system.

considering the rest of the post is based on your own personal experience there isn't much i can say since it doesn't change how you've played DM's in the past;

but i'll tell you that for me it has always been the opposite. i have never joined a server, or even played a game for that matter, with a shop system in multiplayer that kept itself well balanced. new players have always been inferior to the older players from my standpoint.

i completely agree with racerboy that a shop system is bad if the difference between the first weapon you have and the last weapon you can get is super overpowered; the problem there being that if there isn't that difference, the shop system basically becomes useless, because then there's no incentive to getting the overpowered gun.
