IMR Infinite Magicraid A perspective on F2P vs P2W and watch to end if you want guild shout outs

[@bassamaboallaban]

Gandolf do u think u can suggest to the IMR devs a F2P-only server where people compete using only RNG from the game? I think it'll be fun, so people dont just go buying Mo Xi or Erato as soon as the server opens...such a buzz kill

[@Gandolf_IMR_Guides]

@@bassamaboallaban that's not a bad idea, I haven't ever seen gacha games do this ever though ... Like maybe it's a fresh account challenge event, how would newer players work ? And bridge the gap there ?

[@BBabc123]

Gacha will never do this. Everyone will play the f2p only and no1 will spend $. Some gachas have test servers that's as close as y'all get

[@Gandolf_IMR_Guides]

@@BBabc123 true.. but imagine a subscription model... where say you pay a certain amount a month... and you get a fix amount in voucher to experience the game on a fair playing ground every month... if you join the server late.. you can have the accruable amount of vouchers.. these players will be isolated from rest of the game..

@@Gandolf_IMR_Guides now we're talking! Over years of playing all kinds of gacha I've pondered why no studio seems to use this monetization method. GREED is the answer.

@@BBabc123 check the latest vid... it's an expansion on this idea... at least the community manager is interested enough to pitch to their leadership...

No offense but you are speaking so much of nothing. F2P are usually new players, I don't know why you are explaining them about intricacies of heroes and game mechanics. They just want to know if it worth to play as f2p usually

[@Gandolf_IMR_Guides]

Appreciate the feedback... i did a poll of my viewer base and 40%+ is over 1 year, 75% is over 3month so i wouldn't say most watching are new... F2P is worth playing for sure, just have reasonable expectations.... you get plenty of summons to solve your gacha itch and like any game, it will feel like there are paywalls, but the core content, f2p can definitely engage with all of it and compete against one another. The mastery over the intricacies of the game and heroes regardless of spending level is how they will gain the edge over the competition

@@Gandolf_IMR_Guides These videos are not meant for older players, but for newer ones they wouldn't care about some endgame explanation, that was my point. What interesting is for example most people will tell you when you join the game is that if you won't have Indra and Dianmu you will likely suffer throughout the game, 99% of heroes require exclusive to even work. Is it even good to play as f2p, or you will feel like you are stuck the mud like you are in Raid Shadow Legends. That is mainly what people expect to hear. Them not being able to compete with p2w is glaringly obvious for everyone.

@@AlexLiskovatsky yah the reroll is a thing a f2p start is rough ... They kinda combated bad RNG with really cheap packs but that won't change the fact 90% of player simply won't be paying in games. The fact they made packs cheaper makes it even harder for true f2ps since even spending a small amount can make a big difference at the beginning
