RAISE THE PREMIUM CASH!

    The low budget 2,000 cash for premium makes it annoying for premium players(like myself) to do anything really. It makes broker for only legendary players unless the people selling on brokers are selling an item everyone has which is mainly of no use to us, and when we want to re-spec we don't have enough cash, and also, when in a raid and our gear is broken, we have to search and wait, or ask/beg our instance members for something to sell to repair.
    I have been playing this game since beta, till i quit and cam back around this time last year, and during all that time, the premium cash limit has been so annoying and frustrating.
    Thankyou, from King Cookie/ISO 8/Shaniqua DeShaw.

    lol, cash and the broker are legendary's main perks, don't try to take that away from them. Trade bits for interface IIIs, one will max out your money so you can repair, and they stack 16 in one slot so they're easy to store(just don't accidentally sell all at once).

    I believe all players should get +$2k per DLC purchased. It isn't going to break any Legendary subscribers privileges. Certainly not on the US servers where nothing is that cheap. If you believe that would break your game, then I'm sorry to say you are completely delusional and belong in an institution for insane people.

    but giving them 2k per dlc, would that not cut into the profits of the marketplace escrow items or that 1 week access token in the long run? The 10 bucks buys them the dlc content, not extra legendary perks, or else they'd have to give the legend members something more to make it worth the 15/month
  5. Torikumu 10000 Post Club

    Absolutely not, no. I challenge you to try and buy stacks of bits and bytes, mods, collection pieces and all other types of items with $18,000 maximum.

    People will still subscribe. People will still buy escrow passes. I know I will when the next tier is out and I want to mod my new gear.

    It merely fixes the problem about being able to win plans from the content you've paid for AND make it on your own, without having to do slave labour for another player. Sure on the US servers it isn't a problem, but I challenge you also to come to the EU PS3 servers and get a stack of EI5's or Catalyst 5's for less than 2 or 3 stacks of Exobits.

    Oh and to get more than 5 wipes out of your game before running out of money to repair.

    The 2k per DLC idea actually is a good one...and even if it does, it benefits the players, and if the players want more cash, they either have to pay 15$ for a month of legendary etc...or buy more DLCs.

    I think a few people have in their calendar's to bring up at least once a week and just copy/paste the text from a saved document. They all read the same, they all ask for the same thing and they all have the same answer...

    NO

    The only real benefit of being legendary is the unlimited money the rest of the stuff is a joke so if you guys want more money then in the immortal words of the great Jay "fifteen bucks little man " .

    In the immortal words of the great Torikumu "Let me build the plans I earned from the content I paid to play"... $2k per DLC is fair to every single player. Even all the ignorant Legendary players who are saying "No". Limit yourself to $18k and try and buy as much as you can with that :) I challenge you :) you certainly won't get a stack of bits for that.

    Oh my, haven't seen one of these in a while!

    The keep it low to force subscription, so no it won't happen, although I still believe thwy could be a bit mor generous with it by increasing it $500 per DLC bought.

    That's why we pay for legendary. So we don't have to limit ourselves.

    Even that is fair.

    The cash limit was imposed when Tier 2 was out and the best you can get (maybe T3 was just released, I don't know for sure). 2K limit was very fair back then. The costs have increased with ever tier that's been released. But the cash limit remains the same.

    I personally need a stack of Soder Cola enhancers at the minute but I'm definitely not resubscribing or buying an Escrow pass just to buy those. I could trade items for them, but SOE won't be getting my money if I do that, which seems to be the fundamental "go-to" answer for everyone who opposes an increase.

    $2k per DLC is beyond fair. The maximum you'd have at the moment is $18k and I'd have to have paid £64 ($100) towards the cost of the game for that. Which is a hell of a lot more than anybody who's only been a Legendary subscriber for 4 months has paid with their subscription.

    Yeah that's not my point though. $18k will get you nothing apart from essential items needed to play the game such as repairs.

    Just sub every few months put the stuff you need in you bank .
  17. Torikumu 10000 Post Club

    Or just acknowledge that I like the game enough to buy additional content for it and allow me to build items I earn from this content without having to prostitute my farming services out to a scrub with an ego and repair my gear when it breaks because of all the wipes?

    Look I pay my 9.99 a month I'm on the old legends plan and really the only thing that is worth it is the so called unlimited money I mostly play one character and I'm full t5 so if they raise it a few thousand I'd drop to premium in a heart beat and I know I'm not the only on and they know that .
    They know about how much money you need to really run the high end raids and they know two thousand isn't anywhere near enough that's why its set up that way to make you sub up if you really want to play.

    Well I will say being a legendary member looking at the 2k cap for premiums is way to low.

    First off I feel this would detour people from sticking to the game, second off premiums are not people who do not pay for stuff cause to get it you either have to, A) spend at least 5$ in marketplace ( includes even buying a dlc ) B) Have subbed at some point to legendary or was playing when game required a sub.

    Personaly I would still pay for my reocurring sub if they gave the premiums a higher cash cap, matter of fact might even bring more of my friends to the game who are willing to buy the dlcs and some cashshop here and there just can not commit to the sub.

    I mean aside from no cap on money legendary also gets

    Can open boxes without keys ( do not bother saying its useless I have gotten items that sale on the broker pretty well )
    More inventory and bank space from the get go
    More characters slots from the get go
    Every day can hit up the vault ( although I can see this being not so grand after a while because stuff not tradable from here. )
    No need to have to buy the dlcs while subbed to the game you get access to them for free ( and yes you could just shell out the money for all the dlcs up front but this is just also a noted benifit meaning for that sub price when a new dlc hits the market you get to play with it .

    And if your on a reoccuring sub and whatnot. . .
    500 station cash per month ( 5 bucks worth )
    150 replay tokens per month ( think this is around 3 bucks? )
    These above are a allowance giving per month and can even be saved up for later use.

    I feel that giving a incress into the premiums cash cap would not hurt anything since they obviously put some kinda money into the system for that status, plus lets face it also while some people would be fine with that cap there will still be a lot of players who will still prefer to be uncapped.
