With all due respect, allowing someone to have na advantage over half the player base because they throw in a couple euros isn't making the game accessible. For instance, you said that everyone now plays with a single account, and yet, vip players can have 3 of them. I'm not saying you shouldn't make money, I know nothing is free in this world. But instead of punishing many in detriment of a few, what about come up with different ideas? I think broker is a great example of what could happen: you have one role that makes money by both luck (because of pseudo-random with the prices of stocks and events that change that) and math. It's so closer to being balanced than all others, that only a few play with it. You said this is a competitive game, but how come that only a few win everytime? It may look it's working because the concept is right, but I don't think the execution is. If it was solely dependent on time, then it would be less complaining, but with vip + credits + multis + trust, how can someone who puts only a few a couple bucks on the game compete with something like that?
You want to see people actually compete? Make them rely purely on skill. How? That's how games are making money now days. People spend money on skins, which maintain the game and doesn't disrupt its balance. But if that's something unthinkable to the crims, what about pay to play? Even if you choose not to do that with the main game, what about a second server for that? It may sound crazy at first, but many, many people actually do enjoy playing games that are fair and are willing to pay for something like that. At least I am.
