You are seeing this right. The problem are economically challenged people whose greed is getting the better of them. Sorry if that sounds arrogant but I already have trouble with people being able to sub 8 characters with kamas. It is these people that then also call those "stupid" that pay real money for their subscriptions and Ogrines and sell these Ogrines in the game for the former to sub their eight characters.

You can say that multi accounting was a privilege of either those who could simply afford it or those who (ignoring the rules) shared their accounts. With the introduction of Ogrines, multi accounting has also become a privilege of those who don't have a life and spend all day playing so they can earn the kamas to by Ogrines off those "stupid" people who sink real money into the game. It is hypocrisy at its best.

In my opinion it is a mistake of Ankama's to hand out subscription gifts when subscribing as opposed to when paying real money for kamas. After all, it is the real money that keeps the company afloat and not the kamas people farm.

And before anybody gets any silly ideas. No, I don't sell Ogrines. What I pay for with my money, I either use myself or that expires when I don't feel like playing. So essentially, I am not affected by this change.

Yearly subscription =/= kama buyer. Many people here have played Dofus for multiple years, so they have been able to afford a yearly subscription, which is actually cheaper than 12 monthly subscriptions if bought with money. Of course people bought yearly subscriptions before ogrines too.

The money is important for Ankama, but the fact that subscription gifts are originally based on subscription length, instead of total length of subscription, suggests that the gifts are there to encourage players to stay long, not just pay money.

I buy ogrines for my own 8 accounts. I buy 47 thousand ogrines to subscribe my accounts. All I can get are fucking gobtubbies, because Im subscribing 8 accounts instead of 1. I dont get anything usefull from ogrines. I always thought "I'm paying the same fucking amount of money as someone who subscribes for a year EVERY MONTH almost, so why dont I get a good gift Whats the difference?".

Solution 1: Sell gobtubbies, buy pink dragoone/parasymbic hat.
Solution 2: Sub one less account and use that money to subscribe one account for a year.
Solution 3: Pay 1/8 more money than you already do to sub one account for a year.

Cell phone companies give you expensive phones for practically free if you sign up for a contract, but not if you go pre-paid. If you pre-pay, even if you pay continuously for years, they won't give you the free phones the contract subscribers get. It's the same logic here. It might feel unfair for the consumers but the choices are given to them.

Additional statement from Izmar on the official topic:

Quote

Hey again guys,

This move was really made to try to create an equal reward for those who subscribe with Ogrines, no matter how those Ogrines are purchased. Gift points were originally created to help support Ogrines, because the system was new and untried. Now, Ogrines are a robust market that's also attached to a series of useful services, and it doesn't necessarily need the crutch of Gift Points to make buying Ogrines attractive - it's become a well-accepted norm.

At the same time, we also want to give those who use Ogrines bought with kamas the same rewards for subscribing as those who use other methods, because those players help support the Ogrines market and they make the game more lively!

And for those who liked using the Gift Point system as a means for upgrading their subscription rewards, I hear you. Just about five minutes before I wrote this post, I sent a detailed report about your thoughts to one of the three original founders of Ankama. We'll see what he has to say, but I promise you, I'm listening and your voices are being heard. I can't promise that this means that gift points will stay, but your opinions are being discussed here at Ankama HQ.

Thanks for reading. <3

if gift points stay further, and Ankama continue with the idea of giving gifts to those who actually spend Ogrines to pay p2p, these gift points must accumulate and after one year you get enough to get a better gift.

Yeah, it's no different than subbing with cash for accounts 1 or 3 months at a time, I've got a ton of Croums, Gobtubbies, and Ghasts :) A few times I'll sub for a year on 1 account to get a goone or parasymbic, I think in fact I've only done that twice!

wait wait wait, so if someone buys1 year worth of ogrines right now, they get gift tokens for a dragoone, then after the update they cash in those ogrines for p2p time and get a 2nd dragoone?

pretty sure ankama doesn't care because it's always nice if it pushes the ogrines marked since EVERY ogrines are made with €€$$££ in some way.

But yes, sounds like if that is going to work that way^^

I also bought 144000 ogrines with kamas to profit that way and because I'm afraid that prices for (already yet rare) pets like stings are going up, at least slightly...

safe investment that cannot be scammed, lmao

Hmm how much are 90PP Stings on Rosal? I will have six for sale shortly, as I only need 8. Perhaps it is worth a server transfer. :lol:
