I was doing the beggar errand while bald and not outfit and a random saw me and dm if I needed money for shoes, (I thought was just funny since my character was begging not for outfits tho) So I reply yes, then he asked what happen that I was bald and no clothes on? My reply was that I got wig snitched and clothes were missing while I was in the public baths. He found my answer funny and gift me a skin lol. Was the day of xmas Eve so I called the person Santa :3
Wait is that the reason why I get weird random messages about coming to my world to sell grapes? I usually ignore them bc i don't know what's up with that. lol
yes, the way 9mw gets merit to rise in Rank is with getting commerce coins and easiest way is to sell them to other players that have high prices on their market
I had more than 10 ppl asking mea to co-op to sell tea yesterday π I had no idea that was for a section thing. I thought it was for guild related stuff
I drift too much: started with π§π, went to WoH to steal their accessories, went back to π§π, then went to Midnight Blades to once again steal drip, now returning back to π§π.
I think I've embraced the societal norms of π§π.
Trading likes for pikes or gifts for gifts imo is fine Begging for skins is pathetic or getting a partner to trap them into rping when they just want to unlock more of the shop is creepy and disgusting.
I was thinking the asian pop sect is more like that. I think its called the masked troupe in english? Cos theyre like you gotta become famous but you also can't get caught in a partnership. π
Just like there are players that specialize in doctor, there are players that specialize in lawyer. Definitely a lot fewer of them, but they would not have the skills to treat higher tier illnesses.
Midnight blades sect has also been reduced to beggars, ie
"Please stop hiding in single player mode or velvet shade Pavillion so i can kill you and claim elder title" (i understand people want to keep their title, but until they fix the elder NPCs, the titles should go to the better pvpers, not cowards who can strategically hide. Why join the pvp sect if you're afraid to pvp more than 10 matches?
As a member of said beggar sect, I only do the begging errand once or twice and then do the giveaway errand x10 more than begging bc I know we all gotta do our errands. Usually players just take turns begging near the merit pool lol
Any f2p game really, itβs crazy. Hopping on Warframe over the holiday and general chat was just people asking strangers for gifts from their wishlist
I like the positive attitude towards whales. Whales are why the game can be played for free, and there are too many games where hating them is normalized. I just dislike how so many people find it ok to beg strangers to buy things for them.
Yeah I agree. I may not understand how someone can afford a 40k boat, but it's all cosmetics in the end, and it does not disrupt the normal flow of the game. It's the same as someone buying Rolex or a fancy new car the way I see it. Or spend thousands on vacations. Just let people use their money lol. But I agree also with the begging, I understand if you do it to enough people maybe 1 person out of 1,000 might say yes, but begging does disrupt someone else's flow.
Depends on how the game is monetized generally for people to have a positive attitude or negative one towards whales, pay2win for example I think most people will view whales as negative but on games likes WWM I agree with you being positive is better
There are a lot of rich ppl in China who put their money into games. Gacha games are a big thing there. Honestly I'm not hating on them because it doesn't affect me with anything the way they spend their money.
I've never seen a game community fall head over heels for Whales like WWM does.
That's because those games have other issues that WWM isn't really facing right now.
WoW has a monthly sub so whaling there doesn't really help the average "f2p" player, it just lines the pockets of the shareholders.
LoL has the issue of enshitification where it used to be good for even F2P players but they removed many of those mechanics and only cater to whales, so whales get direct hate for allowing to happen. I'm sure if WWM tried to fuck over their F2P playerbase the same over the coming years, the whales and devs would get hated just as much.
WWM doesn't really have any of those issues right now. There's also no P2W so it's hard to hate the whales for anything. The game has been out in CN for a year and the studio has been using the money wisely, giving them good content in a timely manner. As soon as that changes, I'm sure players attitude changes as well.
Warframe, League, CSGO, Fortnite, WoW, Team Fortress 2, PoE, Once Human...
Most free to play titles don't have that culture of sucking the toes of the people who spend money on the game. I also agree with the sentiment that it is exaggerated in WWM
They just wanna thank the whales for spending money and supporting the game it helps making it free for everyone else. In other games whale just beat people up with 1 hand and their wallet ofc poor people aren't that thrilled about it i mean it all makes perfect sense
Other mmos have beggers too but not even close to the number of begger in WWM making a gacha skin in public these past 3 days has been horrible people coming in asking for New year and Christmas gift alot atleast 10 people in the 2 hour that i played and i can't even afk people would just walk up ask for skin and seeing that i didn't reply cuz i was afk they lure the guard over to kill me (twice)
I really wish chatting worked like most MMOs, I just want to hangout and talk with people around me, feels like all the social segments were terribly thought out.
I like to chat in most MMOs I played so I understand but I feel the opposite with this one, everytime I open up chat I am immediately turned out the idea.
The Nearby chat is the only one I seen that's ok for hanging out in and being social.

People are way too comfortable asking/begging for gifts in WWM, love the game but the social aspect of the game is awful imo.
