In any case the coupon weapons will only get worse and worse as time passes. Remember when axe was 50 coupons, that will never happen again. I think from now on coupon guns are always going to be some mediocre weapons that no one ever bothers to get such as mp7a1, Remington, and stupid grenades. The era of good coupon items is over as crossfire gains more players z8 will only want to earn more income.

M4A1 Custom has been the 80 coupon weapon for a long time now, and so as the Desert Eagle Gold. What guns do you all think should be there as an replacement.
The M4 custom wasn't 80 coupons for a long time. It was JUST recently upped to 80 from 60 coupons.
Patch notes here: http://forum.z8games.com/showthread.php?t=201044The new guns Z8 replaced suck... They should put rare ZP crate guns in there.

Tell me this. Have you even ATTEMPTED to redeem and use one of the temporary weapons?
And since when was it bad for a company to strive to increase profits? -

If they are trying to increase profits, they are doing it wrong.
The temp guns are on par with most GP and some ZP guns, but their price tag is quite high for them.
Z8 needs to think about what is the expected potential profit from customers (The amount most people would be willing to spend) and price their stuff accordingly to increase the desire for customers to spend more.
The expected potential profit?
Either use what 1 time payment game similar to this would go for or what the average P2P charges.
A typical FPS game with online ability would go for around $60.
A typical online P2P would charge around $15 a month.
So the potential expected profit per customer should be around $60 plus additional of $15 a month.
Now how expensive are the temp coupon weapons?
60 coupons gets a temp weapon for 90 days (3 months)
Coupons can only be gotten from crates.
Average rate: 1 coupons for every 2-3 ZP crates.
ZP crates cost 800ZP each at the cheapest.
60 coupons times 2-3 equals 120-180 ZP crates bought.
150 (the average between 120 and 180) times 800 equals 120,000ZP spent.
The cheapest they could spent for 120,000ZP is $97.48 (100,000ZP for $79.99 plus 20,000ZP for $17.49). Divide this by 3 (for the 90 days) and it will cost the player $32.49 a month just to keep getting 1 temp coupon weapon.
At $60 plus $15 a month, it take 4 months to save up for the first temp coupon weapon, and another 6 months to get a second one or renew the first.
If Z8 wants renewed spending they need to both sell something that most people would always want (rather then stuff that is arguably better then the free stuff) and try to price it at around $15 a month or lower. -
