114708-suggestion-let-us-buy-weekly-gem-cap-with-credd

== Content ==
			
 A lot of us don't get to play that often, as it stands, this create a huge gap between those who can farm elder gems and those who can't. Why not let us buy weekly elder gem caps with CREDD or ingame cash? It's a great way to let players who have money and not time to catch up, give alternative options for grinding elder gems, doesn't harm the economy, and provides a money sink to stave off rampant inflation caused by botting and exploits. 
 
It's also a great way to make playing alts more viable. The current risk in investing in a character is high enough that most people I've personally encountered have chose to quit the game rather than dealing with alts when the progression on their main falters. Letting people buy elder gem caps with CREDD offers one option to lessen the grind.
 
Let's stop turning Wildstar into Farmstar!

No, because this is literally pay2win.

If what you suggested were implemented as those above suggested the slippery slope of P2W would be enacted.

Win what? Elder gem cap is a time gate that's discouraging alts and driving people away.

Also, what is next?
 
"Wait what?! I have to PvP to earn Prestige?!! What the hell Carbine! Can we please buy that with [iNSERT REAL LIFE CURRENCY HERE]"
 
"Why am i not gaining any Renown?"
"You have to play with other people to earn that bro :) "
"You kidding me?!! I have to play with other people to earn something?!!! Omg Carbine, can we please buy that with [iNSERT REAL LIFE CURRENCY HERE]"
 
 
See where i am going here... Its a direction i dont want any game to go.

			How about just increasing the amount of EP you get? You can make a dungeon run give you 25% of your weekly total, adventures say 15%. You can receive more for the dailies so you can cap in say 2 days. This would lighten the load for altoholics like me so I don't have to do 4 hours of dailies a day. For those who only have one toon, well the gem cap is already the gate, I see no issue making the gate easier to get to in that respect. 	
----
			there will be none of that pay2win shenanigans here sir.  A alternative would be linking all characters together so it wouldn't matter which toon you played so long as you played.

			Dem drugs ain't no good...	
----
			
Most definitely not.
 
Like stated above, this would be clearly "Pay-2-Win" since you can acquire gear and upgrades with Elder Points...  So... Nope. Ain't gonna happen.	
----
			This game is already P2W enough as it is, sadly you'll need to find time to grind the cap.

Win what? Elder gem cap is a time gate that's discouraging alts and driving people away. It is also one of the major source of inflation that will sooner than later drive what few new players from participating in the economies over all. That's a sure fire way of Wildstar going free to play and start selling AMP/Ability upgrades on their Cash Shop. 
 
For Wildstar, it's either taking the chemotherapy or die of cancer. Why do you think the Devs are delaying the Drop knowing full well the backlash of the announcement? It's either the lesser evil or losing even more players.

			They need to A: raise the cap, double triple. B: increase the amount you get from every activity.

Wow. Glad to know this forum is full of pinko commies. For the proletariat! Don't let those fatcat hyper-rich tax deserting-- I can't do it.
 
I'd be ok with using CREDD for gems. And for those who are having conniption fits at the thought, remember that you can purchase CREDD with ingame currency. Use that extra plat for something other than adding a couple of hoogle lamps to your skyplot.

Hell no for obvious reasons.
God people suck... >:C	
----
			Hypothetically if this came to be what's to stop me from demanding CREDD give me instant level cap. It'd be a valid further request because both would essentially be pay to skip time/grind gates or p2w.

Then you must think we should be allowed to pay CREDD to get max rep/max prestige too then yea?
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Hadn't considered it. Unless rep gives me a cool title or dragon mount I never really think about it.
 
But if I must, yea, then I suppose I do and I just don't know it yet.

And then people are going to ask to be able to use CREDD to get max level as well. Or CREDD to buy epic gear, or all the housing items, or whatever else. It's a slippery slope.
