north flume
I will be blunt. Lr tokens even after the changes would allow paying players to effectively double their loot pulls from a single loot-run. This is due to the addition of 3 bonus rerolls which can stack.
I personally say 1 is fine since that is refreshing your daily bonus. But this system grants easily get 3 rerolls.
Shares were already nearing the line of p2w but this now directly allows it to impact items flowing into the economy. This is even more pay2win than silver-bull shares since those are influenced by the player economy.
I'm fine 1 extra reroll being equivalent of your daily but stacking isn't fair its blatant pay2win. As it directly impacts the loot drops of items on a mass scale impacting the items obtained allowing for more paying chances. This would crash the value of items for most normal loot-runners and allow those who pay to be far more profitable.
This differs from Shares which require selling and buying from other players which only then can be exchanged for items. Which naturally ties into the player economy. While this new system undermines it, as this differs from shares in 1 vital aspect. As by selling shares to other players you don't just benefit yourself, while token rerolls solely benefit yourself. Since regardless of weather selling shares to other players is more profitable, its implications, both impact and undermine the principles and integrity of the server.
My point is buying rerolls directly is paying the server for more loot directly while shares you using the existing economy. This allows the server to directly sell you the chance for more items and now to even loot-run near optimally you need to use 3 loot run tokens for 3 more rerolls. (Same with raid rerolls but those are far more useless... Next you know they add world event chest rerolls that work for Annie)
Part of me feels like this is both the single most damaging change of all. Perhaps even be the single primary feature they are seeking to push with this update. (I have studied psychology, neurology, and looked into monetization tactics within many industries, making me very cynical about this aspect)
MY WARNING is that this single feature is the potential point of no return for Pay2Win in selling items and power directly to players. Don't say I didn't try and warn everyone
I'm brining this post over from the beta threads in advance for when the update comes to the main server, ensuring it isn't buried**[since beta threads will be hidden until the next hero beta]** https://discord.com/channels/143852930036924417/1398282886158749726
