Fellow HeroCrafters,

I asked Kainzo today if single person XP Boosts were possible to have and he said it is possible but, he wanted to know if the community wanted them. So voice your opinion about how you feel allowing people to purchase XP Boosts for themselves.

Very respectfully,

-Gavin

Nope, I think that's terrible idea. You'd be paying to win

I've heard the term "Ethical Microtransactions" thrown around here at Herocraft. I think the whole idea is to not allow a player to "pay to win". Allowing the experience boost to apply to everyone makes the donation more fair.

Yea I can understand that side of it. I just feel the prices are so high because it applies to everyone. Maybe making lower prices for shorter times would work? Not sure.

Here's the plan for 'reducing' prices. We're going to add in crowd-funds for these boosts. So once the "meter" is filled - it will auto-trigger the exp purchased.

Not exactly sure how we'll set it up - but people will be able to throw in $5-10 towards it, etc.

I'm also working on a variable cost selection so you can increase or decrease the exp time for less or more cash based on a formula.

Here at Herocraft, we do strive to be as ethical as possible when it comes to money -> in-game stuff.

I would honestly stop buying XP boosts if people could get one for just them. I buy them for the community to have fun leveling some classes I've honestly been mastered for a few XP boosts I've bought

I think we came to the conclusion that the original post idea is not happening. But since the post was made information about future ideas has come out.

I would suggest that if we are going to do a crowd pot idea that we have set days or times on when we do the xp boost and let the people donating vote on one of the set days or times.
