Yes. This has been suggested many times before, even by staff members themselves.
The only reason I think it hasn't been implemented is because people who have kits post their bias opinions.

I personally can't stand kits. It's what makes the sg pay-to-win. The only reason I own one is because you really can't win against other kitters without one yourself.

Giving new players a chance to avoid these kits would convince them to stay, because I have heard many builders and residents leave because of them. Therefore, our population of people would grow.

I see no downside in this.

 

I prefer to fight where everyone has an equal chance to find goods. +1 for bare bones arena's.

 

People keep on and keep on suggesting this. I keep on and keep on talking to people about why i thin k this isnt a good idea. I REALLY, really dont want this to happen. All of the people with no kits are my money -- i get 100 bucks a pop on them, and i get about 600 per game off of that, PLUS, when i win, i get 3-4.4k. So, if this is added to the game, there goes all of my monies. Now im left with tons of kits, but against kit users. Basically, if these maps were implemented, SG wouldnt be watered down at all (so there would only be kitters and no regular).

Please, i spent $150+ on kits to win, to get money. That's my main way of getting an income -- and anyways, if these maps were added, that 150 i spent would be worthless

 

This isn't a pay to win server, so stop treating it like one.

 

Well said.

 

So basically, off of what your telling me, you could think of it this way. When i play sg, lest say i have a 5:1 chance of winning. 5 being me, and 1 being some one with no kits. I buy kits to get a ratio like this. Now lets say your idea comes along. The people with no kits now have a 1:1 chance of winning. Great! No harm done! Or is there? Now i have a 5:5 chance of winning. So, if you really think about it, my kits now have absolutely no advantage because everyone else has them.

 

My kits worthless. My money income crushed. Not just mine, all kitters. My opinions are not biased the least bit. It is a true fact that the chance of people winning from a kit would go down because of this.

 

Hmmm... im really not angry. It may seem like it, but im not. I need to use more happy faces!!!!! :D

Im just stating what i think.

 

Yes, i see how that could be thought of as selfish. I worded that wrong. Please edit that out, i will edit mine out, and i will no longer reply. Sorry to get you very upset! D:

You, and other eccers, probably think of me as a mean rich kit who only cares about himself. I can assure you that i am DEFINATLY not like that, i just worded it wrong. I got a slight bit defencive because all i see is my bday money, cristmas money, and allowance going to waste. I am sorry to those who i offended.

 

+1

 

No, I was just joking with you. :)

I actually kind of agree with your argument. I think we should have another sg in legacy, but just make it very unrewarding as an incentive to play the other one in rising.

Nobody is saying people without kits won't play sg anymore. You will still have an advantage.
I'm 100% certain that if you did not own any kits, you wouldn't have the same opinion, therefore making your opinion biased.
By the way, kits aren't a 5:1 ratio. It's more like a 10:1. If you want me to keep track of whether kitters or non kitters win over the course of 100 games, I will.

 

I'm deleting all posts that are off topic/flaming/insulting. This does not need to be here and this is not something that should be coming up in a suggestion thread. Do not continue with the flaming.

 

Ever hear the saying the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Well that. Besides I would really love to have this added, however I highly doubt it will due to decreased donations for the server. How about this though what if you had to pay money to get into the arena with no kits sort of like the aether and nether with donations or IGM.

 

The reason people buy kits is to have a unfair advantage. Do you think they will buy the same amount of kits if that unfair advantage is not nearly the size or severity of what it was before.
