Ximerin in the rankings

[Mikan]

This will probably seem a bit petty to most people here, but I would like to request that Ximerin be added to the rankings, simliar to how gold is handled now. Currently, the only reason to purchase Ximerin is to enhance ones' own experience of the game by obtaining one or more of the (currently very limited) premium items, but those items may not yet appeal to some people, especially LV50s, which are becoming more and more common.

But, if Ximerin were added to the rankings, people might purchase it for the sole purpose of supporting the game, and subsequently, showing off that fact. It may come off as elitist or even downright petty to some, like I said, but the rankings will be a good way to show who has supported NGD the most. I think it could create a nice side revenue for NGD with very little downsides, especially the downsides of recent ideas that NGD has come up with to generate additional revenue at the potential cost of player enjoyment, such as XP reduction, or fatigue.

It is certainly not the cleanest way to make money, as I pointed out - it relies on peoples' desire to be seen as better than others, but the simple fact of the matter is, all of the rankings are currently like that, and even the game's RP system is centered entirely around it. I wholey expect that people will hate the idea and flame it, but it doesn't change the fact that it would serve it's purpose of making the game better for everyone.

Of course, spending Ximerin would not deduct from your figured total -- so everyone would count, even if they purchase Ximerin and then spend it all on premium items the following day, for example.

Regards.

Sounds alright in theory, but lets see what the pros can expose of this

[DkySven]

I think that this is a good idea.

[Angelwinged_Devil]

umm suggestions please?

otherwise good idea

edit: I think NGD's intention with the fatique was to get players to suggest a lot of new premium stuff XD

I'm sorry Katiechan: This indirectly exposes financial transactions of an individual to the public without prior written consent (there's nothing like that in the license agreement as far as I remember) so it's downright illegal to do so :/

Why not adding a Top 30 Supporter List ?

We don't need points there, just a ranking.

NGD,

I have another request: That the karma system be removed from the forums entirely.
I think others have been wanting this for some time now... so I'll throw it in to my list of suggestions.

Regards.


P.S. Really, my post was forward and neutral, I did nothing that warranted decreasing my reputation.

Meh, don't swear over it - I got random negative karma from irrelevant posts. Who cares
