Caution Advised | Concerns Mount Over New Landmark System
A rising tide of worry surrounds the new landmark system, with players voicing doubts about its impacts on earnings. Conversations on forums reveal anxieties regarding common parcel ownership and how tier jumping could disrupt financial stability.
Players Speak Out on Potential Earnings
Many players are wary about making the switch between tiers. One player emphasized that higher-tier boosts are crucial, stating, "Our base tiers boost is x30, so the difference isn’t made up with just srb alone." This sentiment illustrates the shift in market dynamics that higher-tier players might face when changing ranks.
Notably, a user added: "If I win the first landmark, I'd jump to middle tiers, making less than I currently am." This reveals the potential drop in income, especially for smaller players.
Assessing the Rarity of Parcels
Concerns extend to the rarity of parcels. One commenter expressed skepticism, asking, "There's no reason to think it will, unless AE has been incredibly dishonest about how parcel purchases" They suggested that each parcel should have an equal chance for rarity, regardless of the auction outcomes.
Interestingly, other players saw a silver lining. Another member noted that acquiring a large number of common parcels could positively affect the odds for future purchases: "It has to even out in the end."
Key Themes in the Ongoing Debate
Economic Impact on Smaller Players: Smaller players worry about losing income due to tier movement and common parcel ownership.
Rarity Discrepancies: Confusion over the rarity of parcels remains prevalent, leading to questions about fairness and potential benefits of the system.
Strategic Planning Required: The community emphasizes the need for careful planning to mitigate risks under the new structure.
Voicing Concerns and Solutions
The online community remains vocal. One player highlighted the importance of investing time and AB into passports to increase daily rates while questioning the best course of action: "So what is the best to do?"
"I just don’t think anyone will spend over 20,000 AB for one common parcel," succinctly summed up a player’s doubts about the imminent auctions.
Curiously, the Jackson Square badge in New Orleans is now live, with an auction approaching that will distribute 191 parcels. This could lead to intense competition among participants.
Summary Points
△ Strategic planning is vital for optimizing income and tier movement.
▽ Uncertainty regarding parcel pricing persists, raising concerns for buyers.
※ "Being that they are all common, can really mess with your monthly income," stresses a concerned player.
Amid mixed sentiments, players are adapting to the changes. Those who plan carefully may find themselves better positioned as the landmark system takes effect.
