    Suggestion: take away all kits from players who have purchased them and exchange them for coupon codes

    Reason: kits ruin the survival games for new players, existing players, players with out kits and even people with kits. Our survival games is not about skill it's just who has the most money. I think it's time for the development staff to realize kits were a mistake a correct it.

    Any Other Information: I know this probably won't happen but it's worth a shot anyways:/

    Giving everybody a coupon code for kits is unrealistic and unfeasible - This will reduce the servers revenue by thousands of dollars.

    What we should really be doing is shifting our focus off of SG and onto developing a new minigame, such as Kit-PvP or other alternatives to SG.

    It's far too late to realistically take any serious action against kits.

    I don't know if would reduce income, persay...it's more like asset relocation. ECC isn't losing any money; rather than purchasing kits, people just purchased giftcards.

    This I really agree with. Not sure if the codes will help at this point, but worth a try before Skywars and such are added.

    It will - Less people will buy donations with real money as they will be buying donations via coupon codes. This won't directly cost the server anything, however it will reduce it's revenue as less people are using real money to buy things.

    A rollback of this nature is completely unrealistic. The situation would never get bad enough for this to even be considered as a course of action.

    My personal opinion - new mini games and learn from the lessons from sg kits, but just leave sg as it is with perhaps a minor tweak or two.

    TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

    SG might need a tweak here and there. But you can't get rid of kits. Maybe it can be revitalized if/when ECC has more minigames, and more users to play them. And with the focus away from SG you can more easily make tweaks to SG. (like phasing out buffer and spy for example)

    There isn't any other way to put this than being impractical for reasons stated above.
