Should the Ped be Devalued?

You lose lots when you hunt? Really - move on to another game, or accept the loss. I dont lose lots. Sometimes I have a really bad hunt, but thats me being idle. Observe the game like I have and you'll constantly get back more than you put in

I work in IT. I'm also a programmer. Therefore I can sit back, look at the game, and see quite simply that you can make, or you can lose - its your choice - luck aint an issue

Well, there is a basic thing to remember. The game will always have as its main purpose to generate income to MA and not everyone can profit.
So the more people that know how to profit, the smaller profit for each.
And yeah, you can eliminate the luck part if you know how, but only if there is less people knowing how to do it than the ones that dont know how to do it.

I agree and appreciate this post to try and give MA some ideas that can help better the game for MA and all players.

Something has to be an little out of wack to have new players and a lot of veteran players just up and leave ????

Well what gets me is the bashing of this guy that one he has an right to post his statements and not get personally attacked because of it; two while I love PE it does need improvements

This is what pe cost me in maybe an little over an week of play.

I do have fun on PE a lot and admit I only like to hunt and maybe my gun is not the best choice Modified 117.

Could not afford an better one after buying mod fap and full shadow again. Boy is it nothing compared to my old Modified Mercy or imk2

Ok for the past week to maybe an week and ½ could not fix my gun (Rl issues) So in this time I had let maintance slip some what Here is what im looking at need repairs for next month :/


Armors:
Pixie N/A
Nemeses N/A
Shadow 75peds
Plates 6a/5b 105peds
Mod fap N/A

Weapons
Modified 117 950 peds (that was last repair check full tt is 1700 )
Dante 1 176 peds
Dante 2 (backup) 121 peds

* Weapon stragey (if you can call it that ) Is to fix gun and amp with hofs, but did not really do too good with cash hofs to fix it and the nice items I got are not selling even at listing them with pe-monitor.com prices

So guess im not all that happy about next months deposits

Your first priority should always be repairs.
Keeping your equipment in top condition is important for several reasons. One of them is that armor for sure decay less and protect more in good condition and without having done specific testing, it seems to me like weapons perform better in good condition too..
And if i lost over 1000 PED a week, id start looking for what i did wrong..

Well im killing every thing as efficently as I can.. like today did 20,000 ammo hunt on nemcus no armor .. killed an whole bunch of them and ok made my ammo fund back but not one hof and nothing towards decay.

Was getting loots like 3 peds 5 peds 10 peds

I usually burn threw about 60,000 to 80,000 an day hunting yeah I dont have an life I know it

PS: Some minor issues with the vu not helping me either, like did an artox today and 8 misses (no damage but ammo used) Im getting alot of no hits this vu which adds to lose. Im also getting alot more low damage shots then I ever got before

lol 1,000 ped per week lose you complaing? lol when I was in Warrants doing Robot attacks we used to lose 1,000 peds an night..

Alot of the ubers you see while they killing things you could only dream of, they are taking huge loses.. Skalman used to and still does tell me all the darn peds his lost for the week ,

I dont know if youre aware.. but i kill just about anything in the game if i feel like it..
However, I tend to avoid some of the biggest mobs, because their kill/payoff isnt really great unless you get the globals/HoFs.
However IF i waste 1000 PED a day on doing stupid stuff with low chance of success (like the 15-20 beacons ive done without a single appg-1) i dont call it losing, but SPENDING. Then im simply blowing money having fun.
When im talking about losing, Im talking about trying to profit/break even/lose as little as possible without being able to.
If i try being economic, I succeed. If i take my noob ava out for a run, its for fun and i dont expect to make a profit.

I could not disagree more with this statement...

The main purpose of an online game such as PE is to offer entertainment for its users, which in turn, will spend money and help MA financially. If MA's sole purpose is to just make lots of money, then perhaps they are in the wrong business. MA is in the consumer business. Their goal should be to make a product that the customer/consumer will use and enjoy and will hopefully spend money on. I am not playing PE and depositing just to fill MA's pockets and bank accounts. I play to get enjoyment and get something for my money in return.

Tigerman... the way you have your statement worded, it sounds like MA is in the casino/gambling business. I know there has been talk about if PE is nothing more than just an online casino... but I wont go there... right now. :P
