about the thread "the new ribbons suck"
I'm sensing the mods or the staff of g4box will take down any threads that are related
to the new ribbons. yes they are ripping us off for the purpose of getting money, that's
part of the business strategy. Imagine thousands of players play crossfire and take 1/4 of the zp buyers. let's say 400 players are zp buyer and times that by $126 = $86,400. In fact
they have to pay their employees. I think G4box are just doing their job.

I EVEN GOT REJECTED

Lol
In order to get the ribbon, u need to buy 1000 revive tokens, which equals to $160..... My friend told me about this ribbon, at first I thoguht this was a joke....
Seriously,Z8games. Instead of 1000 revive tokens, you should change it to 500 or 100 tokens, that will be way more reasonable. -
Here's the breakdown on ribbons:
Ribbons are made to be hard to get. We found out that after we gave many very, very, very easy ribbons, which even counted logging in as rewardable. Now, the point of ribbons is to distinguish the experienced and players that help the game by paying ZP.
The fact of the two ribbons is to be hard to get. If we started making ribbons very easy to get like we had in the past, we would have thousands of players running around with M4 Custom Crystals. The point of that gun is to be a very rare, very hard to obtain ribbon. That's the point of limited timed ribbons.
As for the two recently added ribbons. They weren't added for people like you to say, "Hey look, another 2 ribbons, and all I had to do was log in on the day of the patch!". They were added to distinguish those who play the mode a lot, and those who don't even care enough to work for ribbons. Ribbons aren't supposed to be something that is an afterthought, they're supposed to be something you want. That's why we have tons of good rewards.
It is, people like those who made that mentioned thread, and yourself who don't want to have to work for ribbons, and just because you don't want to work for it, it doesn't mean we will add more easy ribbons. That would mean we would have people with an excess of 30 ribbons [currently, I'm pretty sure only myself and a couple others have that many] in less than a few weeks with a few hundred thousand ZP and time.
As for the revive token ribbon, that is the point of the ribbon, to give people that buy tokens extra incentive. It was never stated that we wanted you to buy the tokens, or we would do something like ban you. We stated that if and only if you purchased 1k revive tokens, we would give you a nice little ribbon to show off to your friends and lurkers who stalked your account profile.
We aren't forcing you to get the ribbon, you're forcing yourself to get it, because you want the rewards. It's as easy as that. I'll leave on this note, ribbons are supposed to be something you work for. Just like in real life, stuff won't get fed to you, you have to work for it.
Any more threads dicussing this matter will lead to further disciplinary actions. That means for you, or anybody else. -
Hi, I understand your point and think is really reasonable to give a ribbon ONLY to people that play the game a lot and put real effort into it, but I still believe that paying 160$ for a ribbon is not making an effort, is just being rich, you dont even have to play ZM to get that one! Also, about the other ribbon, forcing people to play a LOT to win a ribbon I can understand. But 1000 bosses isnt a lot, is an insane amount of bosses, you would have to play zombie mode ONLY for a VERY long period of time, several months probably to achieve that one, it doesnt invite people to make an effort to get them imo, I think that the number of bosses should be something that regular players could long for like 100-200 bosses. That is something that I could actually get after 1 or 2 months if I play ZM a lot. 1000 bosses is just crazy, I dont think there is anyone who can seriously say that he expects to get it.

You don't HAVE to have the ribbon.
Nobody is ripping you off. Don't want to spend money? Don't.
As for the bosses ribbon, you claim to have read the other thread, yet you didn't grasp the simplest sentence in it.
This ribbon is something we could have released in a year and lots of people would have gotten it instantly.
Instead it was released now, and lots of people have a small goal to play towards if they feel like it.
No different than the "one man army" ribbon (which, mind you, will take me over a year to get. I don't cry about it though). -

I agree with you but... tons of good rewards?
Are you serious ? Are you talking about the ribbons rewards?
Let me remind that we have 4 ribbon rewards.
5k GP for having 10 ribbons, totally fair.
7-Days M4A1-Xmas for logging in between 24-26th Dec. 2010 , totally fair, but we can't get it now
M4A1 Custom Crystal for having 20 ribbons, totally fair
M4A1 Gold Tiger for the CFMA ribbon, totally fair
4 rewards out of 33 ribbons and 2 of those rewards were only available for a limited time, which is fair, as i said before.
But there's no one that will say that 4 rewards for 33 ribbons are tons of good rewards.
We should get more rewards, i like the hard ribbons, but there are no rewards, specially now that i have 20 ribbons already... -
-
think in the dual deagles, for me it compensates the hard work. maybe with 5 or 6 maps in a long future we will get it. but how many years will resist CF? now is an enjoyable game but in the future(2 or 3 years) we will want to play other things. that happens with all the games.

Lol...
Always the same story...
You guys are always saying stuff like that...
But you WILL add more rewards in the future, why would you do that if we shouldnt have more?
And you know we should have more, cuz you need zp, and we buy zp as long as we are not bored, and people get bored without rewards, of any kind, daily mission/badges/ribbons/events .
You guys always talk bs so that you don't admit you're wrong, and the point of my post was not asking for more rewards, was, the same point as this post, to tell hi, that he's bsing us, he told us we had tons of rewards, when we clearly don't.
I like the things as they are, i just dont like lies. -

Right, without the system more people will be playing other games, instead of this hacker infested "CS" copy... g4box should rly think about how to grab the attention of players, lol you clearly have no sense of psychology... -

Yes they do, the "free M4-CC" is one example.
Why do you think people buy stuff (sometimes they don't want) like ZP, Spops, Guns, yeah you guessed it - simply to obtain enough ribbons to obtain the M4-CC, if the so called free stuff aka rewards was not on offer nobody would care about your ribbons bar one..
It goes like this:
Customer: "I brought and liked your last stuff and I want to purchase more of your products but I have everything that you produce can you make more?."
Company: "Youre lucky there are ANY products at all."
That sums up the said situation perfectly. It is in the companies interest to introduce ribbon rewards, as they generate income and activity - in fact that is why z8 introduced the ribbons in the first place.
And like I said we don't need anything Z8 offers as it is unimportant virtual stuff and not a real product or service. Z8 is the lucky one. -

That doesnt make sense...
I never said youre lucky they sell anything.. I said youre lucky you get anything for free.
They dont technically have to give you anything.. Activision dont. Look how massive they are. People still buy their products. Same with EVERY publisher. You ADVERTISE what you sell. In this case... Some ribbons require ZP to be spent. Thats not the main purpose. Its to get people playing.. Give players a sense of achievement. It actually costs the company to give free things. Are Z8 still greedy?
The free things are given for whatever reason.. whether it be through ribbons or an event ... theyre given to reward the loyalty and efforts of the customers that they value. Which is why they give you free stuff. They value you and want to keep you. Like any other company.
True. Z8 are lucky to have the customers... but the free stuff shouldnt be what keeps you here. Its an added bonus. The game should keep you here. If the free stuff is keeping you here then why? Whats the point if all youre here for is free stuff you probably wont use?
You continously get free stuff. More and more stuff. Yet you want even more. Complaining when you actually have to work hard towards it.
That is the definition of greedy. Not what Z8 do.
Saying that Z8 are ripping you off is ridiculous. You can get the M4CC without spending a thing. You dont have to pay for them. You dont even have to do them. So why complain?
