What's the point of Black Market?

I mean, I spent like 450 crates on Laser Dagger and finally after 10 months I won it. After that about 3 weeks later they make it available for everyone (attendance system for 7 days) and one tof the main reasons I wanted the laser dagger was because it was rare (and it looked cool).

Now we have that stupid MP system and it's a matter of time before we get some cool permanent weapons (can't wait for m4a1 royal dragon for 25k MP lmao). We have events where we give random egys cool crates for free. I've seen like 8 M4A1 XS legendary's in the last 5 days (prob all from free crates).

The only reason why we need zp these days is so we can buy VIP's (who knows maybe they will give permanent vips if we continue this way). Why do we need black market? I understand that it's very hard to win something from 1, 5 or 10 free crates so that's why people spend ZP to buy more crates and to have a better chance of winning. I mean I want to spend my zp to get something like deagle crimson but OH WAIT Z8 ARE GIVING OUT 10 FREE CRIMSON CRATES FOR FREE AND RANDOM STAFF SERGEANTS WILL WIN THE DEAGLE AND I CAN'T WIN IT IN 50 CRATES.

Can we just remove the black market pls?

  • When did Z8 give out 10 desert eagle crimson crates? Did I miss something?
  • They should just move all the BM weapons into the Item Shop for ZP to rent for 7, 30 or 90 days. And for the Anti-Zombie & Zodiac Weapons they could just put them in the Item Shop for ZP to buy Permanently like in CF China

    That's my idea

    But yeah the Black Market is completely useless now. Nobody's going to spend over $50 on crates anymore

    I think your missing the OP's point. He isn't arguing that the BM is a rip off per say, he's arguing that its dumb that he had to spend all this money to win an item that he wanted and then it was given away for free.

    This is not the problem of the Players [egys] !!
    u know z8 games....
    and about this point i'm angry about this too.
  • I'd be more upset if the item I won in BM was being given away as a permanent or VERY easily achieved temporaries via some reward system without those weapons getting changed up frequently. (aka ZM2/3 rewards. so easy to stock up on ZP quality guns in the infection line or say the KAC Gold skull) As for event reward crates....I don't care too much there as that's what events are for really. IMO the temporary stuff in the Mileage shop needs about a 25-50% price increase honestly and it should never exceed a 3 day temporary purchase unless the price is equally increased.
  • Most players like it this way because they cannot afford ZP. I like the way they're going simply because it balances out the game for f2p players and ZP buyers. You're arguing that you want this game to stay p2w, I disagree but I don't want it f2p either. In between is where CF should stay.

    In this game people will complain over everything. No matter if it's free or limited. Even though the new mp system will release permanent rare weapons, don't forget only the people that play every day for an entire month completing almost every daily mission without spending any mp points towards temporary stuff will be able to get the permanent items AND those items won't ever come back after that month is over so quite frankly I see this as a win win for the majority.

    Personally I think that crate guns shouldn't really be perm in the MP shop, but I also don't want it p2w. I think that there should be unique weapons in the MP shop. That way after we bought hundreds of crates for a weapon, we won't feel like we wasted our money when it's given away for free. Even if it's just a reskin, I'd still have the original, and others get a free version of the gun.

    But you could easily save up 12k MP and wait until the next month for an easy perm, (Only 14k more) so as long as you're ok with a weapon every 2 months instead of every month, it's not that hard to obtain.
  • Family friendly Zawg to the rescue!
    Z8 isn't focusing on making money. Quite frankly, there are individual players that already do that, and CF China probably lends some money to keep our servers up, if needed. Instead, the focus is on allowing players to stay on the game. The free weapons allow the free users to experience the game like other players and keep them hooked, so that they won't leave and play other new generation games. Or at least that's my hypothesis.
    However, I haven't seen any free Noble Golds in every room, so maybe there is still hope!

    I'm not sure if u are joking or serious..
    Just calculate a bit if they need to lend money to keep these bad servers up..
    Also about black market .. I've got the similiar question why do Slaughter Tickets exist?
    There is more systems to win weapons deal with it and let others enjoy I don't understand why are people so greedy and mean... Enjoy in what u get for once I have the M4 Royal and so what if everyone gets chance to have it I'll be happy better that than M14 stop being greedy if u paid for something u are a regular player like everyone else they don't divide us into zp buyers and non zp buyers ..
