It doesn't matter IF they need it. Some folks will take all they can just because they can.

 

Not to mention saving themselves the extra effort to send an alt an ingame email.  

 

Learning to earn influence is part of the game, just like leveling up, selecting/slotting/enhancing powers and learning your way around the world.  As others have mentioned before, there are plenty of ways to earn influence.  No need for a pity system.

There's a lot of ways to earn xp but we have a system of patrol xp. Maybe patrol xp should also boost inf rewards for lowbies as well.

I've heard folks complain about having to do TFS constantly to earn merits also sooooo. 🙈🙉🙊

 

Don't ignore the players who've "won" via MIDS, know every Purple, Winter and Hami-O enhancement, and have figured out how to PL via multiboxing in the AE, but want to complain about the AH.

There is also merits, which you can use to fund yourself without ever touching the AH. 

 

I think it was my first HC character that leveraged the market to make staggering amount of Inf... something like 250MInf (/s)... that was invested in future characters... and after I started using a SG base to store "commonly used" pieces the amount of Inf I'd pass to the next character got smaller and smaller... and eventually I stopped even trying to rebuild the 'kitty' for the next character. I still dump things into the AH (so the purse gets reloaded) but those funds are basically covering scratch fees for crafting, temp powers, etc.

 

For many years now... I've been exclusively relying on Merits to get most everything for characters... either directly (Merit Vendors for recipes/pieces) or indirectly via Converters (for crafted drops). This is highly inefficient (from a Merits -> Inf -> AH perspective) The content I play yields more merits than Inf... I can switch my content of course, but merits roll in without having to do anything but play.

pretty much my response to folks in game who complain”I came to play a super hero game not a marketer”

 

Me: “okay, great play the game and just use merits”

 

Them: “it’s to sloowwww”

 

Me: *clicks name and adds to ignore*
 

I got no time for folks who choose not to try to solve their own self inflicted problems. mind you that convo above is usually I have told them the various ways to make inf like converters for example.
