[MegaThread] Ideas to solve the Money Cap issue

Any ways i can improve upon on my idea?

flip burger => buy sub

Your 1st rule should be ...
1.) Read the other cash cap threads before posting... know the history of the topic before you start a thread about it.


One of the more recent Cash-cap (credit cap) threads from just before Amazon Fury DLC launch is an interesting read even though it was mistaken information. It also shows the Devs commitment to holding the line on the $2000 cap - simply because the gear price was never intended to exceed $2000

The way the DCUO crew has decide to monetize the game is perfectly fine with me. I think that it is extremely fair with the currently available number of DLCs. Perhaps in the future this model will change, but it will be to increase player retention and maintain profitability.

If a player plans on playing premium and wants to reach end-game content, they should expect to have to buy Escrow tokens along the way.

The developers have clearly stated their feeling on the topic. for example:
https://forums.station.sony.com/dcu...-the-premium-cash.176978/page-23#post-2118218
"Unlimited cash is a perk of the Legendary Membership, and there are several marketplace options for the Premium player looking to take advantage of more in-game cash. Currently there are no plans for changes, though we do appreciate the feedback and discussion."

We do offer escrow withdrawals and the 7 day unlimited escrow unlock for Premium players who wish to take full advantage of the in-game economy. Unlimited cash is a feature of the Legendary Membership.

We are always looking for ways to improve the experience for all players, and that includes adding to and improving the membership. The way we're introducing Supergirl for Legends is just one example of that.
To the cash cap specifically, we recognize it's a major point of friction for non-members, and a major part of membership for members. We're open to ideas and solutions, so please continue to post yours. We are reading.

Over a year worth of threads and chances are anything written in this thread has been written before....
So, you need to try a unique argument that works for the Devs....not Premium vs Legendary. These threads should help you understand the history. I would encourage you to try the search feature on the website, in the future. Searching before creating a thread can save many new posters endless hours on the cash-cap hamster wheel or similarly over discussed topics.

Yes i know their are many threads for this but none of them i see has an idea for a bank like this.

The cash cap isn't an issue.

THANK YOU!!!

Ok, but it will,

A. Remove the Cash Cap as a p2w argument

B. Give premiums a way to assess their escrow money

C. Keep it inconvenient enough so that unlimited money is still a benifit

And D. You still have a 2,000 money cap, you just have to go to the bank in order to go over the cap

Plus E. You can only get accesses to use the bank one time per Month!

Realistically, the cap is an issue. Even if players have mastered how to play and be successful with it, it is still less convenient than having no cap. I would agree that it is not a major issue if that is more in lines with what you meant.

You want an easy solution to your cash cap.......go mow a neighbors yard...problem solved.....see how easy that is

What if the premium player lives in an apartment building and his/her neighbor does not have a lawn?

easy idea. subscribe or be happy with what you get for not subscribing. also lols at your "rules" for what anyone can comment on. lolololol

Why ? Doesnt matter what kind of solution/agreement you find, if they dont want to make changes, they wont.

Then ask mommy or daddy for an early allowance...go recylce some cans. Or maybe go get a job. 14.99 isnt that much to pay for a monthly sub. And you have access to your escrow thru the marketplace for less than a monthly sub.

Become legendary. Git gud

There are people on disability who play this game and cannot afford the monthly sub. There are also many who have other legitimate reasons for not being able to pay it.

TkMcClone has saved this thread within the first two pages. No need for it to get to the usual 20 pages now....

As to my personal thought process, make repairs come out of escrow and call it a day.

No one tried to dispute my points.

At least try.

This is to refine a idea to the point where everyone can agree upon it

Love you too.

Hopefully this doesn't go on for 20 pages now.

A- cash cap does not = p2 wino it's not an argument...
B- premeies have plenty of ways to access their escrow.. Problem is they don't want to pay...
C- is just inconvenient enough... Why change it?
D- this bank idea is just horrible... It overrides the escrow purchase system in place... Why would they implement something so people who purchase the bare minimum, can actually save money. How does this make sense? And why do u feel this is deserved?
E- please see D!

Pretty sure some would argue going straight to the broker after hitting 30 to buy the highest cr gear could be seen as p2w
