    Add survival games where kits can't be used, however, these games would cost ecodollars to join.

    I suggest $100, but the price can be adjusted to whatever is appropriate.

    You could make a version for all 8 arenas or just a few or just one, etc.

    Optional: players win no money from these kit-free SGs.

    Optional: players receive no SG points for these kit-free SGs.

    These are just some ideas to give the kit SGs some bonuses over non-kit.

    This is different because it removes money from economy and leaves solid advantages for the kit games.

    Also, do you minus one because you don't want this or because of what staff said in that link?

    Sorry, I misread the suggestion and meant to give it a +1. I just do not believe the idea will happen due to past denied suggestions. The -1 was saying more along the lines of possibility of acceptance, rather than the content of the suggestion, if that makes sense.
    You cleared up a big part of my issues with the previous post, explaining it further.

    Final Ruling: +1

    Sorry for any confusion @_TANSTAAFL

    Despite that it costs money to enter, people will still flood these games, maybe if it was like 5k to enter I would +1 this, otherwise no

    I've actually mentioned this in one of sick24's suggestion's. I stated that if you don't want to play SG with kits, you don't get money. I am all for this idea. People have to learn that it isn't an even playing field all the time.

    Don't think it will happen, but I won't have a problem with testing this out. But I see 2 possible problems that can happen:

    1. No one will play on the new sg system, because it costs money and you don't get anything in reward for playing and winning.
    2. The servers sg kit sales can stop, because players love the new sg system.

    This is something that can happen, but it might as well work just fine.

    This^

    The way I see it, there is no happy medium. One of these two things will happen. ( I Think #1)

    Yeah, I agree with you. I think players will get pretty tired of paying 100$ (Or more) for a game of sg that don't give you anything else than a thiner wallet and a bit fun playing a non-kit game with (if you are lucky) 3 or more players.

    It would probably end up with players playing on the normal sg or just change server when they feel to play some non-kit sg.

    +3 1/2, Why not? It takes money out of the economy and will convince more people to play sg (the ones who don't currently because of kits).

    I do however suggest the price being raised to 500 ECD so it's not insignificant.

    And for those who believe this will never happen because previous suggestions have been denied, this is a different suggestion that will take money out of the economy and not devalue kits.

    1: It will devalue kits if players actually use them.

    2: I don't think players who don't play sg because of kits will play more sg if we added a non kit sg with 100$ entrance and no rewards.

    They would. I would. Other people would.
    And it wouldn't devalue kits because the only people who would play it would be the people who don't play right now because of kits (like me).

    I don't think you should talk on behalf of everyone who don't play sg, at least not before we have tried it out.


    And i f this was added, I think we would probably just end up with 1 vs 1 games all the time. And it would just end up with players don't want to play the new sg because of lack of players...

    Well, for people who whine and complain about the fact that there are kits, it gives people a place to send them, to realize that SG with kits are the ones people really want to play, and if you get a mass amount of people that want to play non-kit SG, they lose money whereas if they played with kits, they would make it possibly.

    Or, make it like the lotto, pay to get in, winner gets a bit of the pool.
