G-Coins
- by: Kyzaku, on the behalf of the Tinierme Members.
- recipient: G-Crest and the Creators and Maintainers of the Tinierme Website.
This petition is to alert the creators of the Tinierme website to the fact that a large majority of the playerbase is against the implementation of the G-Coin, a pay-to-play currency.
We, the undersigned, are writing to you today to speak out against the use of the G-Coin on your website, Tinierme. We understand the use of the G-Coin is to create revenue from the site to keep it going, however we feel the ways in which the G-Coin have been implemented have stunted the growth of the site as well as it's enjoyability. Your loyal members are, for the most part, very unhappy and uncomfortable with the new pay-to-play system, and would like to call your attention to a few good points about the new system.
These points are as follows:
O Your asking prices are too steep for your target audience. A majority of your users believe the price is much too steep for them, as a majority of your playerbase are of the younger set who do not have steady incomes, or credit cards, with money to spend on pixelated objects.
O You give no room for conversion. There is no way to transfer Chibi-Coins to G Coins. Even at an odds of 5,000CC to 500 GC, users would still be able to buy the items the want in the shops and play the G-Coin Gachas.
O Gachas use G-Coins. Considering the Gacha is a random lottery, the amount of money people can spend and never get the items they want is far too pricey. Another point on this is that people will be more reluctant to trade items they paid actual money for.
Our petition is not without solutions offered, and you will likely find many more in the comments to follow; here are but a few ideas.
1. Special shop items should cost G-Coins. Unattainable unless you buy G-Coins, these would still generate interest, but not make the game unplayable for those who cannot pay.
2. Normal items should boast both G-Coin and Chibi Coin prices- with the G-Coin price being but a fraction of the Chibi Coin price. That way, users who want an item right away will have the option to pay, while others must work for it.
3. Gacha should use Chibi Coins, even if at a higher price than the previous 25- 50 Chibi Coins for 1 gacha spin without the bonus gacha at 10 would be a good amount, while 25 G-Coins per spin with the bonus gacha would be good for G-Coin users.
4. Users should be able to convert their Chibi-Coins into G-Coins. Even if it were 5,000 Chibi Coins for 500 G-Coins, many users would find it worth it and would continue to play.
5. Advertisement. Many users wouldn't mind the inclusion of sponsorship on the site if it meant they were able to continue enjoying their experience without paying real-life money for virtual goods that ultimately amount to little.This petition is not against the use of G-Coins completely- it a good alternative for those who have the money to spend, or for those who wish to do so. However, we do believe that the heavy reliance on G-Coins is a betrayal of your old and new members who cannot pay to play to customize their Selfy..
Your playerbase would like to ask you to think about us, your loyal members, who have spent hours, if not days, on your site, and who enjoy it greatly; the use of pay-to-play methods is forcing a lot of people to quit, and is dampening the experience of even more who wish to continue playing, but find nothing to stay for without being able to obtain new items or play the Gacha because they don't have money. We ask you to think about us, and reconsider the use of G-Coins on the site so many of us have come to love.
We thank you for taking the time to read this message- and we hope it has informed you of our feelings regarding these changes on the site, and we hope that it can lead to a solution that will both make your members happy, as well as be profitable for you.
