EIM Bust

Realism was never meant to have open access to trading with regular players. The whole point of the game mode was for it to have a more realistic economy/experience rate game mode where loot/items were harder to come by than normal, since players needed to spend a lot more time grinding to get to that point. Merging the economies would completely defeat the point of the game mode. We realize that realism is a more niche game mode, though that was expected, since it's quite challenging with the low experience rates, and reduced gp. That being said, Dan and I were discussing allowing realism players to change their account status to classic mode, should they choose to not want to be realism players anymore. This makes sense, since classic and realism are quite similar, the main difference being that classic players have higher experience rates, and the ability to trade with normal players.

Your suggestion has been declined, if you feel this was wrongfully done please contact a Forum Moderator+.

This is no longer beeing used to give actual constructive feedback / looking for ways to improve the realism game mode for new / older players that want to play the gamemode.

But at this point its just going back and forth with accusations / and close to flaming language therefor i will be locking this post.

I agree with @EIM Bust

I’d post my statement of reason for my decision but allegedly my 40x exp rate does not qualify me for anything #gatekeeing.

I just want to see my boy Phanny phart get 4.6b before any merge.

No support.

 

Personally, I have less than 10h of gameplay on realism. However, looking at the comment thread so far, it seems that nobody in the actual realism community is supporting the merge. Don't see why people that don't play the game mode should have a say on this. Just make a new game mode with open eco and realism XP rate if that's what new players are looking for.

I wasn't planning on replying to this topic.

 

What was meant to be a suggestion, has now turned into a ton of salt. 

 

Let me first say. The comment "Anyone who doesn't play realism shouldn't get to have a vote on this" is absolutely absurd.

1: This is the "Alora" community forums, not a realism discord. 

2: Don't you also think this would have an impact on the regular economy in some way, shape or form? It's only fair EVERYONE gets a say in this.

 

I've seen quite a few awesome idea's from members of our beautiful Alora community including endgame realisms, that could actually bypass this topic of a realism merge. That's what happens when members come together and throw different ideas around the table. 

 

I've even seen on this thread itself an amazing idea that could easily bypass and deescalate this situation.. Such as @Real Killer suggested that maybe instead of a merge, a new game mode with an experience rate of x2 gets added into the regular economy. This way the ones who would like a regular economy or no longer want to join the realism community can play. But by the looks of things that's been overlooked and it just seems to me that this topic will continue to go around and around in circles. Don't you think that this would stop the realism merge from even being a thought?

With a suggestion like this. A discussion is healthy. But I've rarely seen any happening (Except a couple of people). I think we all know by now that @Real Alan likes to dictate a lot of what the realism community votes on. Because after all he did say to me that "It's his game mode". Funny that I thought it was a Alora game mode. When you try to have a discussion with one of the realism members who has a big influence on its community, you don't get really far. When one tries to express one view, and the other isn't open to a conversation to float ideas around on how to avoid this. This is the reply you might expect to get.

 

 

A so called leader, not willing to have a discussion on how this could be potentially avoided. But no, he'd rather avoid that conversation all together. 

Just on a side note also. Staff also play as members of the communtity. We too put countless hours into this game that we all play and love. And believe it or not, majority of us have realisms or have attempted a realism. Just because someone is a staff member, it doesn't mean that it will influence the votes. Just look at them, take away the multiple votes on alternate accounts, I'd say it's pretty damn even. While we're on the subject of expressing facts, "A meme that's actually been turned into a suggestion", While at times some of them would have been memes, some of them weren't and this topic is proof of that. It's time to start accepting that people are actually serious and that staff do actually play the game.

 

While I've probably put one of the realism bounties on my head now. Good luck on catching me, I'm a fast boy btw.

I am no longer going to be commenting on this thread until this has either closed or an alternative solution has been agreed upon. 

 

If you want to discuss this further, you'll find me on the "Give UIM banks" Suggestion. See @Real Alan that is what you consider a meme.... Unless.

Mmm..

Reading the reasoning and why you think a merge is needed is giving me a rash. This question has been oribiting throughout Alora for a very longtime and undoubtedly has been a HOT topic for many of the wealthy elite players who come over from regular and the classic game mode.

I DO NOT SUPPORT this house pocus abra cadabra nonsense and most DEFINATEKY DO NOT SUPPORT the reasoning behind the Subject matter.

Regardless of this, you have a voice and opinion and glad to be hearing it, since this has been a long standing issue of yours for sometime now.

I have been playing Alora since the start of the first pandemic almost 2-3 years now. Phanny phart (first account ever made and played) has seen people come and go like grease /dirt under the fingernails.

I have also seen people stay, grow and have many 100s of hours "INVESTING TIME" into playing game mode. I imagine this is also the case for you @Lunchy not only just your regular account qccomplishing 4.6B total but your accounts combined.

I see this post from someone who has already invested qlot of time and effort into playing the game, coming over to realism playing a lower experience rate and unable to throw everything at ::shops to speed and make everything easier.

This mode isn't supposed to be easy but most definitely time consuming. If you dont have the time, the dont play it.

Once again NO SUPPORT.

Support. Love troll global announcements

Support, no question in my mind.

+1 need this in game for the laughs

Support. We need this back for a good laugh!

It shows up with a loot beam so might as well blast the chat!

Full support, getting blokt is a crucial part of any Alora dry streak. A construction must-have and a drop more rare than many others that are announced.

Bring back the blok

Congrats to all promotions and new hire @Gimslaving !
Keep up the good work, Staff
