Mining for Classic

Noxious · 09-29-2015

I think Classic is in desperate need of a new method to earn gralats.
Not only are the current methods slow (and I'm not saying mining has to be any faster, because I know the main reason for the pitiful payouts is to encourage people to spend real money) but they are also unrewarding and generally boring.

For each method you are left waiting, often for undetermined amounts of time. You could swim around for a few minutes before a loot appears, or chop grass and bushes for several minutes before you spot a bee. And the worst part of it all? You aren't even guaranteed to grab the loot or catch the bee.

With mining, the player can be constantly in control. There are no unknown variables, or aimless wandering. You break the rock, you get the ore. Even better, you can be rewarded for mining by leveling up. When you reach certain levels, faster pickaxes and better minerals become available to you. Pretty basic stuff, I know. Not meant to be a groundbreaking or innovative idea. This kind of system is implemented on other Graal games. I just want there to be more rewarding things for an individual player to do on the game besides pk and spar (and even those aren't really rewarding, let's be honest).

If Classic wants to increase their playerbase (which I really would hope is their goal) they need to add more than just aesthetics. They need to add more things for an individual player to do, and mining could be a start.

Era, Zodiac, Kingdoms, UN and Delteria all have mining. Mining isn't at all unique to Ol' West.

At least somethings that make classic and making money easier farming is tough looting is boring bug catching is hard. The only okay thing is pirate quest but that's is still a bit tough. Some ways to make somewhat fast would be good also "a moment of silence for those who can't have the star mount"

Please add this, making money on classic is boring.

That's the point though. If making gralats would be fun, then people wouldn't buy gralat packs as often.

I'm sure farming was fun at first, people just get bored after a while, and it's easier to just buy gralats.

A lot of people would love to farm crops, fish, mine, etc, but yeah $.

Glad they were nice enough to add in bug catching. Seriously though, if Graal had more to do like fishing, mining, and harvesting crops, then it would get so much better. I'd finally wear my deafult fishing hat, and give it a purpose.

Farming is fun in its sense.

The game is free for Christ Sake. If you are going to complain that it's hard to make money in a game where there are no ads, popups, or necessary add ons, then go play something else. This game is a business, not a charity. The only way they make a ligitimite profit is by graalat/house packs. You can play the game without those for as many hours as you want. So if you are going to complain it takes too long to sit on your ass and repeatedly press a button to make money in the game, then go get a job.

If it really was a business they would work on improving it. One way of doing that is by adding more things for players to do. And guess what? When there are more things to do, it makes the game more fun. When the game is more fun, more people will play. And when more people play, you have a larger number of people that have the potential of spending money on the game by buying gralat packs.

There is no way that adding a new method of making gralats just as quickly as current methods would hurt their "business". It would only allow it to grow and make them more money.

This is in no way asking for charity. The players would still have to work for gralats, just not in a boring and unrewarding manner. There will still be lazy players that just buy gralat packs, and by increasing the player base there is a potential of increasing the number of lazy players.

Striken · 09-30-2015

From a business point of view what would you add to the game besides more money making methods?

CM · 09-30-2015

Classic has plenty of ways of making money. Sure, they're all a bit slow, but if it was easy to make money then gralat packs would not be purchased as often. Farming, pyrate quest, looting, and bug catching are all good ways of making money. Sure, they make take a while, but if you do it long enough you could easily makes lots of money. Stacking up on a certain bug and selling them when the witch wants them is a good method.

Also, guild house and house farming are methods of being in control of the money you make. Yeah it takes long but after a while you could end up with a farm of blacks or cyans.

Not saying it should be easy to make money, just saying it should have less boring methods.

It really is one, regardless of it being improved or not.

They earn enough just by vip nevermind any update.
The moment all graalians abandon buying the hats etc then they might look towards other game content as more of a priority(with slight p2win tho) yet that won't happen as classic is too social like and everyone changes there look 24/7 rather than keeping one look and saving cash.
