Also, STOP BEGGING FOR THE BARRETT. As of now, the devs don't plan on putting it in our version, and unless something changes over there it's not coming to NACF. Stop posting about it.

Nonnen my friend people will not leave.But they will be disapointed.First of all every other game community have poll before a patch:
what they want
what they DONT WANT
and they start rethinking the idea

In z8games there is no such a thing.They do what ever they want instead asking people what they think about that idea.
I'm in this game allready 3 years and this was my first mmofps game where i was staying longer(in cs i was 1,5 years)
It's all right that we dont need to know what is behind closed doors of z8games about the idea on upcomming patches and weapons or maps.
But i dislike that removing perm weapons for 90 day **** will be a great idea and it will bring more people.
I want to see statistic how many people would exchange every 3 months a wrench or machete.
First of all we probably get every day 60 or 90 players into this game(i'm only guessing idk the statistic) which is big plus for this.But it doesnt get into my mind that when new people see awm camo today(and he badly wants it)but tomorrow would be gone.He would be disapointed because z8games made choice removing perm for temp weapons.
Which reminds me from before when i started to play this game (when i was new into this game).
This ISN'T logical thing from z8games to do this.

tell me, please, dear MOD, can this game exist without ppl, who spend his money in game? If you don't get money - you haven't money to paid for hosting servers, power supply, network channels...
So - WHY Z8Games make SO STUPID marketing?
IMHO, if you want to get more money - you must sale MORE goods... but you increase prices... rent weapons... I think - that way can lead Z8Games ONLY to bankruptcy... If you don't trust me - read the Capital by Marx Trust me... VERY interesting book, when you read it, you can understand more in business

I never said there was only 1 gun being removed. The context of the discussion was in light of the upcoming patch. Not previous updates. In that case then yes, the Black Market changes have been a series of changes which have removed some "easier to acquire" permanent weapons from the Black Market.

I know exactly how many are being exchanged and how many ZP temp are being purchased. At current stats over the last 3 months, more people have purchased the Bushmaster ACR than the PSG-1 Red Dragon, infact the number is almost doubled. (and that includes the fact that people have known for a few days now that their last opportunity to exchange for the PSG-1 RD is right now)

If this was the case you wouldn't have any permanent weapons except the ones in the ZP Crates, we would have less gp permanent weapons than most versions of CF, Gold weapons would be an impossibility. Coupons would only give temporary weapons (for all categories). Dog Tags would reward you with name cards and sprays instead of usable in-game items, and we certainly wouldn't have the reward types we have with Ribbons, events and other such outlets.

If the straight up argument is that we as the publishers have had zero influence on the number of permanent weapons that have been available in the game, then that argument is false. Because we have had an incredible amount of influence.

Has the permanent weapons in the black market affected the growth of the game from the average users perspective? Yes, because we are seeing less people have a desire to exchange for multiple permanent weapons past the first one. Do the developers (Smilegate) feel the need to act on this? Yes. Temporary weapons is their solution. We agree with their decisions even if it is not the most ideal. And continue to influence them so that as LITTLE permanent weapons can be removed as possible. The top 2 tiers in the Coupon Exchange area are remaining permanent.

We always send input to Smilegate, especially with dealing with these issues. And changes were going to come to the Black Market coupon exchange system. Whether or not we were powerless to stop it or not, the changes weren't all that bad and could have positive affects on the growth of the game from the general perspective of newer users.
