Why would you bring in a weapon that immobilizes everything? Thats about as close to cheating as you can get. That allows the other players to control my mech. Same for the stun ability on whatever the name of that midget mech is. Contolling or disabling is not skill. Avoiding, covering, teamwork, blasting away, strafing......those are skills. Pushing a button to use an ability which automatically stops the opposing teams from competing or even playing is not skill. It is the way of the worm. I can take defeat if I am defeated. Taking my control from me over my mech is not defeat, it is the way of the worm. The way those who bomb people in malls and grocery stores do.
I now see whole teams of nothing but midget stun mechs with arc torrent weap-ons suddenly appearing. That is the first sign of out of balance overpowered and abused game feature. If everyone is switching to it, it is probably op. I cant take the abused power very well. And to see it for sale angers me. I dont need more stress. \
I know that this is exactly what you are after. Anger. Anger = Action Action = Money Spent. You make a person angry about a specific thing and they can do something about it, they will out of anger, including spending money irrationally and impulsively, which is what you are counting on. Its not that everyone will buy one, because at $70 - $100 USD only the well off can afford to buy one at leisure. But a very angry person will impulse buy it for revenge, even if it were rent money or grocery money because people cant control themselves anymore. Luxury impulse buys are dangled in front of them 24/7 such as Pop-up ads for the higher power weapons, upgrade sets, weapon upgrade specials, special coins for crate events. All dangeld out there for the guy who just lost to see and out of anger, buy. It doesnt matter where the money comes from, does it? It matters where it goes, right? Right where it belongs, in your pocket. All of it. And that is obvious by your marketing tactics, prices, and offerings. Greed. Pure unabashed greed.
This is the first game I have seen with items in it that were over the $5 $10USD range and you left that range behind. One level upgrade from 5 to 6 on anything is now $50. That is just a single level upgrade. You get nothing more than that. FIFTY DOLLARS! ON A IMAGINARY CHARACTER IN A GAME FOR A SINGLE LEVEL. Can you say sick immoral greed?
