New Community Manager!

Re: New Community Manager!

Again, I think the raw data might be a little skewed. I just bought 3 URs to train with the other day with a buyback. That's 4 transactions that will show up as sold. Did that twice. Plus, the last 4 or 5 stars that I bought were all trades. Meanwhile, I have a bunch of unsold, but only 4-8 per day, because that's what I'm limited to (I always leave a slot open for a potential deal). So if you look at the stats for my transactions over the past few days, they are probably not too bad, but that's only because of trades and buybacks.

People are finding ways around the limitations, which isn't a good thing. It's the economy's way of saying things are broken.

Yup, as far as Catdaddy concerns, buyback deals are really good on their end since two or more deals are made instead of one and they're double dipping on tax fees.

Re: New Community Manager!

All 4 are current players, offered as low as I can offer them. If this is the expected norm for an auction house, why even bother to have one?

I think your expectations are different from mine. I have never tried to sell an epic card - it's too far below my current tier, so I consider epics to be training fodder. And I'm in the same boat as you - and everyone: I cannot train anything I want to get rid of.

And Damian Lilliard is hard to sell, I give you that. Not only he's one of the worst PGs, he also was RC reward so he's around a gazillion times.

I also understand that the likes of World B. Free & Henry Bibby are hard to sell. Ugly cards, historic players no-one can relate to and bad stats. Yes, these cards have a lower market value than the minimum bid.

But: The importance of both the minimum bid and the 30% tax are pretty obvious. CD can't allow us to sell all our loot and convert it into something meaningful too easily. That would accelerate progress even more than it already does. Also AH pricing must relate to pack pricing.

I personally believe that the both the AH prices (minimum bid + tax) and the pack prices are like 50% too high. But that's just my personal taste, so I don't buy packs and I don't buy credits for AH trades. I assume that CD has market data to support their pricing, so it's not up to me to criticize it.

Lowering the prices and limits will accelerate everyone's progress slightly, yes, but remember the final tiers of this game (for now) are paid tiers. Once you get Star Pros, you now have to shoot for MVP, P&P and HOF Pros. Those are unsellable, so you've now removed all of those credits from the economy. Lowering the prices/limits will make those tiers both more accessible (I can sell my cards to buy cards in those tiers) and harder to get for everyday players (I receive less credits per sale, so I have to sell more to get there). You want to encourage people (even free players) to buy those tiers, which I know they know, because they occasionally have sales and give out those cards in events. I own one MVP, which I bought on sale. They haven't had a sale on P&P or HOF, so the only cards I own in those tiers, I've won. If I could sell cards (and earned a greater percentage of my sales), I would buy more of these packs. I want to spend money on this game. Lots of money. Take my friggin money! I won't, however, spend money if I don't feel like I'm getting mileage for my money. If I throw in $50 to end up getting one card from AH, only to not be easily able to resell that card and, if I do, have to eat 30% of it, where's the value? What's my motivation? No thanks. You've just done the opposite of what you want: you've turned a pay player into a free player.

+1 for this. I rarely do any buybacks and still was able to acquire 4 star dupes in a very quick amount of time with nothing spectacular to put up for sale. Progress is easy enough with the AH, even though the taxes are abusively high.

I'm more concerned with how a fully maxed legendary pro beat a UR pro by 1 point which cost me a playoff game seems ridiculous!

Was it correctly trained or not? Meaning Gold Crown or White Crown.

In season games when looking at the breakdown, Crowns always show up as Silver whether properly trained or not.

Oh I figured it showed the gold or silver. But still that's the reason or it wasn't a fully trained pro, IMO.

No it doesn't work like that. The points that you "win" in each quarter are random, and how much you beat them by in that match-up is irrelevant. You could have barely won that match-up or trounced them...it's still worth whatever that quarter's set amount is.

Yes i always max my two players before combining them. A post later in the thread appears to address the issue but if that is the case that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard.

If what you said is correct as i stated to another member that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. Beyond reason for there to be that set up. i realize the max you can win by is 7 in a quarter but i won by 5 thus two points are available yet they gave me a one point win in that scenario which is beyond reason IMO

There has to be some randomness to it...otherwise the best team would always win. Personally, I like that. That's why the match-us are random, the players that are chosen are random, and the point values are random.

Re: New Community Manager!

So I guess, CD listened to our feedback as we definitely have not enough RC Guards. At least you can run the next RTTC a LU full with Guards.

Re: New Community Manager!

I just think alot of this is falling on deaf ears. See nwgame's twitter replies, it's just the same old answers, to these concerns we've heard since beta. CD is certainly entitled to keep everything as is, I just wish the responses made more sense. For example someone tweeted NWGD about a card not selling and the response is "well that's the market, some cards don't sell, you get free credits from seasons and daily bonus now." Yeah that's fine and good but what about WHY the card isn't selling (high mins/max, taxes, etc.) and the free credits? 15-25 credits from the bonus, and the crappy amounts awarded in season? That's not really a replacement....

Not to mention "free" in season is a joke considering only the top 4 even get those credits when a season holds 30 people. thats a lower percentage then they take on AH auctions...go figure that
