dumb people or not enough money earned or just being nice

So wyrom is extending books sales till eeverything is closed. Says it's because of confusion.

Personally I read it and saw books would stop selling on the 28th and the grounds would close on the 3rd. I am not sure what is confusing so with that being the case, is it.

Why are you so emotional about this? Cutting book sales before the close of the event was dumb. Glad he changed it.

Yeah. Either it's open or it's not. I think it's best this way. I also 100% believe that people were confused by the messaging around it and that it's easier to just have everything open to solve that.

[Ososis]

I mean, the confusion was between two possibilities.


A: Book sales stop on Thursday and the DR grounds and activities will stay open till Sunday.
or
B: The grounds and activities will be closed on Thursday, but Book sales to those closed events will remain open until Sunday.


I'm not saying people weren't confused, I'm just saying I don't have much sympathy for it.
But it also doesn't make any difference to my plans or budget so I don't really have any complaints or cares about the change.

I told you how this works last DR, and the DR before it. You didn't believe me then. Maybe you'll believe me now. There was always an intent to keep selling books to the end. The marketing strategy employed here is to create the illusion of scarcity while the event is still going. This is tougher to do with a digital product with infinity available quantity than it is with an iPhone (a real world example of this marketing strategy).

So you say that you're going to stop sales a few days before the end of the event. People stock up because supply is about to go away. Then you wait til the last moment and say "nevermind. We'll extend it, by popular demand!". That way you get to have your cake and eat it too. You've created the illusion of scarcity on a product with infinity quantity, and you still get to keep selling after that. It's one of the less objectionable marketing strategies employed by the company; one I don't really take issue with.

I agree on the analyse done by Flimbo.

I can even add the following: the average of the first wave is less than the average of the second wave, in all proportion

[beldannon5]

I wanted it closed after 10 days. I just thought the whole waffling that he does is kind of ridiculous. I like some of the things he does but it gets a little ridiculous changing thing because one or two people are vocal about something or just stupid

[Methais]

I don't give a fuck about this whole thing, but has there ever been a DR where Simu didn't change their minds about something in the middle of the event? Seems like there's always some shit happening like that, good or bad. Usually bad.

$$$

[Pereus]

It's going to reach the point where bloodscrip will no longer be viable to farm for $$$ and at that point DR is done. Then they will come up with some new phishing scheme and start over on the people gullible enough to keep propping this sinking microcurrency ship they have aflota.

Kind of like being gullible enough to dump a bunch of money into a lance and not being able to sell it for what you put into it, huh?

Ahhhhh Gemstone. The MMO world’s first skinner box.

If you REALLY think about it except for some unique items that lets you do stuff no other player can the majority of the items are just pure trash that’s overkill. Just play to play.

Sweetie- it's time to step away from the events for a bit

[Wrathbringer]

Sweetie- I'm retarded.

This is correct.

[Methais]

Sweetie- it's time to step away from the events for a bit.

But not for me. I still have a few more paychecks to give to Simu instead of helping out my illegal relative because that’s everyone else’s responsibility, not mine. Bigots.

You’re stupid.
