Problems with current Weapon Glamor

[Alysha Hawkeye]

tl;nr: We don't have much space to storage weapon skins, and glamor costs for F2P is hella expensive, discourage players buying weapon skins.

NCSoft wants to sell weapon skins. I think selling individual weapon skin did not go very well, so they decide to bundle them up and sell at 90% discount.

 

Players wants to buy weapon skins. However, they face some troubles:

-Lacking of storage space, even when you open all slots of your first vault tab. As weapon skins grow more from various sources (F10, dungeon, crafting), we will eventually run out of space.-Glamor cost.

-For a legendary weapon, each glamor costs you... 15g if you're non-premium.

 

Lacking of weapon storage and expensive cost drives away potential customers. You might think this is a selling point of being premiumship. However, unlike Wardrobe which is immediately accessible when you get subscription, you need high premiumship rank in order to benefit from this cost reduction, from 25% in Rank 1 to 90% in Rank 9.

 

An F2P player can buy an F10 outfit and contents with putting his outfit into secondary vault tab, and can equip it whenever he wants. However, when it comes to weapon skins, he has to think it twice when each glamor costs him 15g. The costs get increased if he has multi alts. In the end, he might just not buy weapon skins from F10 and just goes with default skin. He loses being pretty, and NCSoft loses a potential sales.

A few suggestion:

-Make weapon skins (the one with 1AP) can go to secondary tab. This will help handle the storage problems until we get a weapon wardrobe, if NCSoft interests in developing any.

-Make glamor cost reduction of 90% available at Rank 1. This will encourage players to buy premiumship and weapon skins, since the glamor costs become reasonable enough (still 1.5g per attempt for a legendary weapon). Rank 9 and 10 can enjoy zero cost instead.

just make a wardrobe for skins, the problem is the weapons that are not in the game anymore

It wouldn't be that big a deal to include skins that aren't in game anymore since we have that with outfits already, we definitely need more space and a proper place to preview all the weapon skins though.
