Thread: Why do people coin?

    If people didn't coin the game wouldn't exist. To answer your question people obviously coin to get ahead of the competition...

    Let Me ask a question right back at you

    People go to a shop....buy a game Pay for arguments sake $80 play it a few times then the disc sits on their shelf til the end of days !

    My Question is.... How is Spending $30 for a package in an otherwise Free game any different ?????

    Both People would still get enjoyment from playing a game they enjoy ( its called Entertainment )

    And im sure the majority would see $30 spent here Much better than $3000 spent at the Pokies / Casino

    i started coining, my first 30$ i ever spent online, On server 6 back in 2009/2010, I belive it was to get one of those packs, Which were small compared to todays ones.

    since then ive probally spent Far too much on this game. Faaaaar too much. But i enjoy the game still, after 3 years, No other game i own has kept me entertained for 3 full years, every day (minus weekends for last 12 months) I think that deserves some payment for my time spent.

    Ok im certainly not one of those players who will drop 10k on a server in day one to buy insta pults. Even on my main server ive olny just hit insta transporters thanks to a mate ranking an insta treb hero for me with his one.

    true enough, on a new server coining gives a massive boost, (cause i spent on day one of 164 to see how much it would give, but thats for another thread.) But on the older servers, you are basically spending for either ports, Speakers, the sake of spinning a lot of ammys, holiday time, vesta's, or because double cents/ 50% upkeep is on.

    I spend far too much money on this game, like i allready stated, but i also spend a lot on alcohol, Band equipment, Knives and music CD/Records. To me there no different from each other.

    That is the way I see it as well... people spend money on seemingly pointless things all the time, this can be my thing while someone else might prefer smoking or buying shoes. No difference in my eyes, it definitely keeps me entertained

    That is what my original question was aimed at, should've made it more clear, I apologize.
    What I meant was Why do people spend bookoo bucks on it? I can see the $20-$30, but I've seen people here say they are going to spend $500 - or more, to me it seems a bit obsessive. Now, if you have that kind of money laying around.......what's your job????

    I coin for the following, and pretty much the only things;

    - ports. Without being able to go and have fun then what's the point of even having an account.

    - holiday. Sometimes I need a break or I just need some time away.

    - early in the server - ranks and titles. I honestly can't stand medal farming. It is the most annoying thing in evony. I also spin 330 cents at the beginning of a server for resources and other things I would buy normally.

    I used to spend all the time. 30 bucks a week easy and a few 100 at server start and only recently realized what a waste that was. Recently I'm on server 165 for about a month and a half and barely over 100. I have marquis, only 4 medals from furstin. I have several ports (although I havnt used but one) and a few misc items. I'm ranked lower than I would like but am content with my troop numbers and hero training progress.

    If you want to justify spending on something that you can't hold physically, or possess for years to come...

    The game is just like any other hobby. You spend money on that hobby, put your time and concentration into it, then one day you realise you no longer love it like you used to and you move onto a new hobby.

    Was the old hobby pointless? No, because somewhere along the way you made friends, learnt new things, and had something to occupy your mind.

    this seems a silly question to me. people enjoy the game, and are happy to spend their cash to enhance it. No different to buying a ps3/xbox game and then buying map packs etc.

    Why some people spend so much is a bit of mystery to me lol, but the idea of coining in itself seems perfectly reasonable.
