I love some of the suggestions you’ve mentioned!
There’s a couple other factors to consider too:
-
Some people only spend money on a BP if they think there’s no other way to get that item, and they’re not able to sink in the time to get it for free. E.g. Say it’s the last few days of the BP. If you know you can get it very easily later, that destroys that sense of “urgency” to buy (a well known concept in marketing).
-
Some players will be very angry that they worked hard, or bought content early, to find someone else can get it later very easily.
However, there’s lots of ways to maintain “urgency” and keep some level of exclusivity. The BPs haven’t been out long enough to cause much anger from players who got that content first. If it’s going to be done, it needs to be done sooner rather than later. (Happy to hear opposing views on this ofc).
Funcom has a lot of options here, I just want them to implement one that allows players like me to enjoy the game fully, and feel like Conan is a “good investment”. I’ve spent a lot of dollars on this game and it’s off-putting to find out I can’t access a bunch of the cosmetic content. What is there to keep me playing if I’ve missed the boat on content I wanted?
