i think the cert rate gain is too low for players to feel they are making progress. the gain is so low that the players feel it is impossible to obtain an item. being difficult and inconvenient to obtain items in a f2p is the goal. feeling impossible on the other hand alienates the players. i think the reason a lot of players are quitting around this time is because most barely unlocked anything. the weapons you grind for have to feel within reach. it would help to have just a few token cheap weapons to make free players feel rewarded, i feel the cost of the weapons on the sunderer is really fair.
i feel the initial milking period where the rich players will pay anything is over, and its time for SOE to start setting reasonable prices for both certs and station cash.
right now the prices feel too pushy. if guns costed 2-5 dollars i wouldve spent at least 60 dollars already. so far i spent 20 on a sc sale.
ive played 67 hours and gained 2k certs so far.
