Kabam you should

This would infact not help with cheating, take COD for example that is paid for and it is full of cheaters. Just because something is paid for doesn't mean it will stop all cheaters from bothering with the game. Not to mention NO ONE is going to pay just to play aw, bgs and monthly content.

So I think kabam should just go ahead and start charging for their game. So I think it should be something like the sigil and if you pay you get full access to everything. If you are ftp you only get access to story mode and some alliance events. Monthly content aw and bgs would be behind a pay wall. I also think this would help with cheating.

As if we don't get enough "slap in the face to f2p players" complaints already.

If you didn't pay you would only get access to 1 arena no features. I'm pretty sure that would definitely help with the bots. You are absolutely right it won't stop all cheating but it would help significantly. I think more people would pay then you think. Look how many pay for sigil and you don't get a lot. Now imagine having access to 1 arena aq and story mode if you didn't pay. I think have a lot more paying to play then you think.

Paying as in the way you're describing. Kabam put 99% of the game behind a paywall everyone will stop. Sigil is not a required feature in the game, people will spend to open crystals and buy stuff for their account yes but paying to just access the main features of their game will kill it off completely.

You can't pay you don't play.

I think you’re forgetting that part of the reason Battlegrounds is functional is because of FTP or low spending players. If you take out everyone who isn’t willing/able to spend monthly you’ll be waiting a lot longer for BG matches.

Paywalling the game won’t fix the issues. I personally wouldn’t play the game if I’m being forced to pay to play. That completely defeats the purpose of the freemium business model that Kabam has done for years

Yeah pretty sure it works for other games.

There are other ways to deal with cheaters Kabam just need to work harder on it. making it Paid for is not the way of doing that. It is not a matter of "can't pay you don't play" Its a FREE game it has been like that for almost 9 years it will stay that way,

as to if you spend on other features in game that is YOUR choice, making the game paid for is the dumbest thing I have heard on this forum.

I think you’re forgetting that part of the reason Battlegrounds is functional is because of FTP or low spending players. If you take out everyone who isn’t willing/able to spend monthly you’ll be waiting a lot longer for BG matches.

No this game works cause of whales and low spending players ftp is just a Is plague on this game.

Kabam has actually been very transparent in what they’re doing to address these issues. I appreciate the fact they’ve been perma banning and giving us updates

Exactly they are getting better at it there is still work to do but as stated in OPs first post his "idea" of making it paid is pointless.

You honestly think people would just turn around and give kabam their money to keep playing a game that has being free for some 8 years? Behave yourself, all that would happen is a huge chunk of the playerbase would drop the game in its entirety or play it free very casually.

Got to be the worst idea I've seen

There are plenty of games that do this and would disagree.

No this game works cause of whales and low spending players ftp is just a Is plague on this game.

You'll likely find that those whales account for a very tiny amount of players playing the game. I'd be willing to bet that, for every 1 whale there is at least 10 FTP players, this game could not exist with JUST whales playing it ... who would they match against in BGs? Or even how long would it take them to find a match? Then consider they're whales, if they can't find matches in what's arguably the best mode the game has to offer, then what would make them stick around?

You are delusional, you might as well want to have the game less playable
Why should content that has been available for people for years suddenly be behind a paywall?
It won't help with cheating, it will decrease the player base since people won't have access to new content. In what point will the player want to play, just for the story?!

I’m not familiar with a lot of other mobile games. How many moved more than half the game behind a paywall after many years of it being free?

And how many of those games spent 8 years establishing themselves as a free to play game only to then turn around and start charging? Most the games you speak of don't tend to last this long ... and there is a reason why

No the people that are delusional are ftp that think they make up a huge portion of the community and that they are needed to make this game run. That's what's delusional

I'm willing to bet they are way more people spending 10-100 dollars a month on this game then anybody else. Causal spenders make up the biggest portion of this game period.

OK then feel free to replace the word WHALE for SPENDER .... same applies 👍.

Edit - spending is relative btw, I would consider someone who spends 100 on a mobile game a "whale" .... there will also be guys who consider someone who spends 30 a "whale" money isn't worth the same to everyone

Been playing this game since 2016 and they are very very few people I have met they have never spent on this game. If you have spent on this game you are not ftp by they way.
