I don’t know why this hasn’t been adapted yet. This is how every other free to play game operates.
The idea is simple, the more gems you buy… you get a few extra gems. Not much, just a little. Or it could also work such that the more gems you buy, the more discount you get on your $.
This would actually generate more money for the gemstore and I will explain why:
1. People buy more gems than they actually need. More $$$ for gemshop.
2. People have an excess of gems, so they spend them on things that they normally wouldn’t buy, because the gems are there already, and it’s super easy, just 2 clicks and you have an item.
3. People then run out of gems and when new items come out in the shop, the cycle repeats.
Currently the gemshop is operating off a system of “Oh exactly how many gems do I need right NOW?” with no concern for future purchases, and no impulse buys.
Don’t you want the gemshop to make more money Anet?…
