Runes of Magic US / AU

This might have already been said but by briefly browsing through some previous thread titles I haven't seen a recent post dedicated to this matter. Plus 20 is a very expensive and hated feature of the game at the moment mostly due to the rng factor of the wheel. Some people are able to get lucky with it while others (and by others I mean the majority of people who roll) get bad luck. As of the last couple months, the new laggy item shop and the wheel are two major turn-offs for many players and have actually driven people away from the game.

The suggestion is to continue in following the footsteps of the plus 20 accessory jewels in the actual item shop, and include that for armor and weapon and even possibly including perfect plus 20s (at a higher price obviously). Since the plus 20 accessory jewels are at 299 dias, maybe make armor at 399 and weapon at 499 (price approximations, not saying these values should be final) while keeping the wheel and gashas in there. The suggestion is not to remove the wheel and rng sales (because there will always be people who want to gamble for a chance of getting jewels for a lower price through the wheel) but to implement the accessibility of permanent jewels in the item shop to cater towards the people who don't want to face wheel rng when upgrading. To increase the appeal of the wheel, maybe put perfect plussers on there if not for a higher fixed price in the actual item shop.

Right now, it is extremely aggravating for both the f2p players and paying players to plus 20 because the free players first need to find someone who buys dias to spin the wheel or have already spun for them, normally causing much difficulty for the spinner because of horrible rng rates, and then proceed to trade their actual gear to the spinner for them to plus up, again facing rng for the paying player. There are so many rng factors that the diamond buyer has to face that many of them are discouraged from even using the wheel at this point, and the problems of trust and scamming arise because of the gear trade.

tl;dr Read the post because the points make sense, but otherwise: If the plus 20s for armor and weapon types were available in the actual item shop at a fixed price (like accessory), it will honestly increase transaction activity in game between players as it eliminates a lot of rng bs and will create a better opportunity for both f2p and p2p players to upgrade, encouraging people to actually spend more on the game.

Quoted from "aardvark3"

The best suggestion for the wheel is to eliminate it entirely

That is most likely not going to happen, as it only appeals to the players. If you read the post you'll see that the suggestion appeals to both Gameforge and players by keeping the wheel (appeals to Gameforge) while putting jewels in item shop at a fixed rate (appeals to players) while perhaps adding better items like perfect jewels to the wheel so players will have more incentive to spin (appeals to both Gameforge and players).

Quoted from "zidlef"

No matter what suggestions we make, no matter how well explained, proposed and how it makes sense, Gameforge will not implant it.

They actually added in crit to the new leather set when a post was made on it. So it's possible. Especially since this would make them more money.
