People are of course free to voice their opinions. I'm just trying to give Mesiba the benefit of the doubt (devil's advocate), since it seems he's just about done with this thread. He's made a very good game and I dont want to scare him off. Also trying not to disrespect my worms friends here. To an outsider we can appear collectively (myself included) as a rabid, obsessive, sometimes unreasonable fanbase. I don't think anyone in this thread has said anything too unreasonable, but the collective impact of all those posts at once is probably overwhelming.
Just realized it's only been 1 day since Mesiba's last post. This thread moves fast! I'm not too worried about p2w issues but am still hoping for clarification on one thing... and then hopefully we can move on to other aspects of the game.
My only unresolved question: will the 5000 coin "prestige boost" ever give a player higher stats than a normal non-paying player who has earned full rope stats? I think (and hope) the answer is no but would like confirmation.
I would not classify anyone in this topic as ''rabid, obsessive, sometimes unreasonable fan.'' All I ever did was to voice my thoughts, and give critique. If this user Mesiba cannot handle legit concerns and opinion, it does not belong on the Internet, and does not make a great front for his game, or anything in the gaming industry with such mindset.
We all here are not a collective, you and I are certainly not one, and we don't see eye to eye on some things. To me, it seems like you endorse microtransaction and p2w mechanics. It feels like you want to bury this element of the game, and focus on the positive. To turn a blind eye to something negative, will only make it grow and fester, and pay to win is certainly not a good thing. You don't seem to care of how such ideology of microtransaction affects adults, but particular children who are more susceptible to shady monetization. There's no reason to train kids to gamble. Apparently, this is the way of the world, and you seem to embrace it.
Luckily, as I stated earlier, this whole microtransaction business, is being blocked, banned in certain countries, and some countries such as the US are pursuing new laws to make it illegal for people under the age of 18 to play.
