104525-thank-you-credd-buyers

== Content ==
			
I feel like I owe everyone who bought C.R.E.D.D. with cash a genuine thanks.
Right now I'm one of the people who would seriously question whether Wildstar merits a monthly subscription. But because I got a few C.R.E.D.D. saved up, I can just ride out my frustration without paying actual money.
This is
1) Keeping my personal frustration at tolerable levels and
2) no doubt keeping servers more alive as people like me continue to play who would have otherwise left.
 
The topic has come up in several threads before, but I've never seen anyone really mentioning the folks who made this all possible. Yeah sure, that's Carbine/NCsoft on the one hand, but on the other hand it's you, the ones who actually bought the stuff.
 
So no matter if you already unsubscribed, are currently disappointed/frustrated or (*gasp*) perfectly content with the game:
I'm grateful I can justify sticking around to myself, all thanks to you guys. :)	
----
			Same here, I have nothing against paying for a sub, hell I even save cash by subbing because then I tend to sit home and play more but at the state of the game I will cancel my sub and buy credd. earning around 40-50plat /month so no use spending irl cash when u can buy credd as low as 6,5. Win/Win	
----
			Yeah, i have 7 months or so worth of Credd consumed, otherwise i wouldn't consider the subscription. So thanks to those believing in W* enough to spend money on Credd. I might take a long break though, at least until things are better (is that possible?).

all that it took you to grind up the gold to buy the credd.
you have paid a far biger price than these that you look down upon, you paid with your limited free time on this earth :D.
GG

			Yeah i ended up getting about 5 months worth of credd (Got a 2nd Trigger finger AMP drop after using the first one i found) I would probably still keep my sub up...  BUT i have no full on reason tooThe thing that gets me is, people (Like someone last night) thinking credd is screwing carbine out of $$$ on subs...i said "You do realize... for credd to be on the market.. people need to be buying it at 20 bucks a pop... which is MORE money then a month sub..." Remember.. all that credd on the xchange... was purchased from carbine ... !! So you are STILL helping support the game... even when its "Free" for you RL cash wise i also like the idea that my wife can hold her CREDD to be used later when she has more free time (Next month) means someone is also more likely to come back to see new featuresand also for people like yourself.. who will play through the growing pains due to it not costing much on your part(and thats also the reason i do not understand the /quit threads) .. i mean yeah you quit.. but why not keep some CREDD in reserve.. never know if the game will evolve into exactly what you want...

I think if you don't log in for three months your CREDD supposedly expires, but since it hasn't been three months yet I don't know if they're going to enforce that. Best check on it before you vanish for a long time and expect to come back to a pile of usable CREDD.

do you believe that? Creed on my server goes for 5 plat atm. I make 50 - 100 plat a day easily, guess I can afford wasting some on creed if I really wanted. Do you still feel like you insulted someone with saying "you have paid a far bigger price than these that you look down upon"? if so then congratulations

The CREDD system is a great way to do things. I wouldn't be surprised if WoW had it by Warlords. 
----
			
you are welcome.
 
my best friend that plays is heavily into the crafting aspects of the mmo's that we play, and it was a nice way to get her a quick cash infusion so she could enjoy that aspect, and the ability to do that using CREDD was well worth it.
 
course now, we make enough in game to buy it for time, which is helpful too if we need to	
----
			You're welcome, and thank you for the gold that made my housing plot all pretty. (And all the power cores I bought).

God I can't wait till EQ next, at least sony knows how to do a mmo.

			Madda doesn't have enough money to afford CREDD :[	
----
			
Let me second that Tenner.
 
I buy CREDD with plat and will not spend $15 a month on Wildstar. Not that it's not worth it, it just helps ease our financial issues right now.
 
So, thank you very much to all those who bought CREDD with $20 and are helping those of us who don't want to pay $15 a month.

I think I peed a little when I read this. Sony is probably the worst company for MMOs on the market. Thanks for making my Friday even better :D
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Good news is there's some solid development being made in that game, as the founders in Landmark are currently building it for Sony...

which is the only saving grace for the game
----
			
Yea, I hate the sub model myself, but the CREDD helps alleviate things quite a bit.
 
While I still prefer the money model of GW2 (pay for the game, any additional costs are only for those who want to pay, along with a gem system to prevent goldfarm sites), the sub/credd option is not a deathknell.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I guess you missed SWG and NGE
 
they know how to do SOMETHING to an mmo thats true
----
			Semi-related, I'm rather surprised that Runescape of all games offers CREDD now. They call it something else(Bonds) but it's the "new wave" in MMO revenue going forward I think. People want a try-it-free option, people want the exclusivity and prestige of a sub, and they don't want to pay for it.	
----
			
You're welcome (*´∀｀*) Thanks for buying it so my house looks so pretty!
 
I just wish the exchange rate was a little better on Evindra, apparently we have one of the lowest rates and it grows very slowly... I hear on higher pop servers it's breaking the 10p mark.	
----
			
P.T. Barnum said it best.
 
For a sloppy cash-grab this game did it right by not underestimating the stupidity of the masses.	
----
			You are welcome. Thanks for the plat so that I don't have to farm. My life revolves around economics so anytime video games give me a currency and an online market, I just spend spend spend. This is the first MMO in which I actually have gold on me thanks to Credd. I even get that satisfied feeling of helping a poorer person keep playing.

I havent purchased a lot, but on days where all the bills are paid and I can spare a few bucks, I will purchase a credd if I dont get as much time to play the game.
 
*cupcake* me because im responsible in RL right? lol oh how sometimes I miss the days where I could just game without a care in the world..

Where do people come up with so much platinum to buy several months worth of CREDD?
 
I'm still trying to figure out how I'll get together three platinum for a spacious house.	
----
			
I doubt CREED is screwing up Carbine.  They have to sell it to a player, and is a direct sale (no third parties).  And the 1 month charge for CREED is higher than a month of either subscription, or 30-day time card.
 
So yes, they are making money with that, and even more than a sub.
 
Like they said is a Win Win.

Hehe, gotta' love irony.  Not mocking thread at all, just deja vu... pointed something out in another thread last night, when a person was boasting how CREDD would keep the game from going to a f2p-model.
 
As cool/awesome as CREDD is, especially in economies that are hurting so much... think there needs to be some bracing for the hard reality.  And that's that CREDD won't last forever, here's what I mean:
 
A couple things could happen... once the playerbase starts getting low enough (as has been noticed and pointed out by several), the amount of people buying CREDD outside of game with real-life money, along with chancing blowing $20 and slimmer chances of selling it to however many people are in game, and/or getting under-priced by those that may have stockpiled in CREDD... will probably start to go down.  Other issue could pertain to supply/demand... once the game has been out long enough, and enough players have more in-game money, along with systems to make that money, than they could ever need -- or purchased everything they could want in the game... the requirement for the "wallet warrior" to buy CREDD outside of game becomes much slimmer; sure, new players may show up here and there, but again, typically the biggest boom of a game is at the start... then over time the "newbies" incoming becomes less and less over time... of those incoming, only a certain percentage MIGHT buy CREDD for RL money to sell in game, again, if they're willing to take the gamble.
 
Until finally, there will be only so many options/selections for CREDD, along with the fact CREDD in-game could start raising in price if/when nobody keeps listing lower-prices... until it reaches 10 plat, 20 plat, 50 plat, etc... especially considering many of the in-game platinum-prices set by the devs.  Point is, CREDD only exists when gamers are willing to buy it for RL money and resell in game... as far as I know, Carbine won't just throw CREDD into the game for people to buy with in-game currency... the whole point of CREDD's original sales point is for the income to subsidize a membership/sub.
 
Seriously, think about it... the majority opinion in the thread (and I wholeheartedly agree with it), is that the game isn't worth continuing to throw $15/month at... if that's the general feeling, what's the justification whatsoever at tossing $20 a pop at the game every time somebody MIGHT make 4-5+ plat off of it, and that's as long as nobody under-prices them, and risking that somebody actually buys it, etc.

			It's common in MMO that economy goes up as time goes.  Also as content drops, new quests end up rewarding more money than older quests.

			I have more $$ than time. I just wish you cheapskates would buy CREDD for more plat!

When you say "noticed and pointed out by several" do you refer to the just over a dozen unique account names that post on the forums with a thread title like "Is it just me or are the severs dead" or more click baity "why the servers are dead"?
 
Ya things could fluctuate way out of control. I'll say this much, I never expected there to be so much CREDD as there is. Already I'm baffled by how much is being sold on every server.

Already happened on some of the EU realms. Maybe all of them. Can't confirm. Since half of Europe lives on laughable wages it was only a matter of time till prices were driven high by people who are more than willing to slave away for virtual currency to avoid paying real money. As I heard, on the US realms it still hasn't gone higher than 5-6 plat.

I feel the same way and don't feel the game in it's current state justifies 15 bucks a month to play. Sadly for some reason I can't redeem the C.R.E.D.D I just bought in game. Sent a ticket but who knows how long that'll take and if they'll do anything, and time is up in a day or 2.. So hopefully they'll fix it or do something for me or it is buh bye Wildstar until the Dev's get their *cupcake* together and actually fix shit, instead of causing more issues and I feel the game is worth a sub again.
 
So on to archeage and EQ Landmark until this is resolved.
 
God I can't wait till EQ next, at least sony knows how to do a mmo.
----
			I'm in the same boat.  If the game was put together by a compentant team, I'd do a subscription.  Right now, in it's current state with the current team behind the wheel, it's a tampon floating in a bowl.  (Un)fortunately it's the only thing worth playing.  And fortunately for me, there's an alternate, cheaper way to pay for the game.

.. and then sci-fi, which I love sci-fi, and game can't help what it is, but sci-fi has a taboo about it in MMORPGs, so many have tried sci-fi, flopped, and made the hopes of the sci-fi diamond-in-the-rough further and further away... so now many will run screaming from sci-fi like a vampire to sunlight... at least before they sparkled.
----
			I made a lot of quick money off my mining circle and used that to buy enough credd to ride out the rest of this year.  I would have cancelled otherwise, but since it is free now I will stick around.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Wildstar isn't sci-fi, it barely qualifies as sci-fantasy.  TOR's in a content drought, Destiny is console-only AND FPS (double fail).  EvE... not really a fan of gankfests.  ST:O... haven't tried (I like my Trek in small doses anyway).  Have I missed any?
 
Give me hard sci-fi, Babylon-5 or Mass Effect (without EA *lesigh*) on PC in 3rd person and I'm so there.
----
			
Money is pretty easy to get especially with circles.
 
I sub through credd, no problems affording the game, just chose my option.
 
Was an AH nut in WoW, no real different here and take sup so little time.
