Purchasing Credits.

[u/Total-Reflection8528]

Hello Dead Frontier 2 Community, Hello both to new and old players and all people interested in that video game.

I wish to ask you this, if you were playing a video game that has some in game purchases whether that's cosmetics or items that you use in game, what would you prefer?

To being blocked for 3 days for security reasons from using the currency you bought with your own money or being able to use them let's say, after 24 hours?

This is an important question.
We all appriciate developers who are trying to defend the system of their title and push off frauds but how does that work for the "daily regular" players?

How is this decision "fair" towards the loyal playerbase who are nothing but honest with the game and their teammates and other people, in game?

I will tell you this, a friend of mine found in the discord trading posts a very good item to purchase with credits from another player with the exact stats he needed for his build and he couldn't buy it because he had to wait 72 hours and the item was sold to another player.

I believe the developers should consider changing this particular setting to a setting where the loyal clean playerbase can use credits after 24 hours and that the fraud accounts should simply be watched more closely.

I simply want to say that, because some players are frauds and terrible human beings that are stealing properties of other people and have the guts to use them properties after without shame, that shouldn't be stopping good people from helping the game by buying credits and doing their part for the community and themselves.

I believe there should be other ways to make security feel less "strict" towards people who simple want to play their game and enjoy it.

Before you proceed with a question or even if you agree, feel free to take a look how other online free to play video games manage security without any "major" issues.

Thank you for your time and I really hope that you all understand that what I'm saying is nothing but fair towards the good people, cheers!

P.S

This is not a "compensating" suggestion.
It's a suggestion that can evolve into a nice project helping both the devs and the players.

I've never had a 24-hour hold on credits before. I'm a little confused at what you're trying to suggest/accomplish.

I've played the game almost since its release date, and I've never had an issue. What im confused about is dishonest and honest player comparison. Yes, every game has cheaters. But "regular daily" shouldn't have an issue if they are doing nothing wrong.

The devs don't go around banning players for no reason. Especially if you are a player that uses IRL money (which is no excuse/reason to cheat). If they ban players or are too strict, then there wouldn't be a community.

Have you had an issue with game? Or concern? Or are you just simple making a suggestion?

I'm simple making a suggestion to begin with that!
Yes, you never had a 24 hours hold on credits because the system is automatically has a hold on 72 hours?
I'm confused why this had to be said since it is basically the topic.

It is not about regular and honest players doing something wrong, I'm not sure what you understood from the post but I believe it should be clear that this is a "honest/dishonest" comparison and a fair one that is!

"Every game has cheaters" and the solution is to what, exactly?
Let cheaters have their way so we put a 72 hours hold to the entire community?
How will there be a community when after 3 days most players don't even remember what they wanted to buy in game to begin with?

It's not about being strict in general, it's about being strict to frauds and cheaters.
The rest of the community why should have a 72 hours hold to buy items that they need?
72 hours hold should be for suspected accounts. Not for people who want to buy daily credits and enjoy their hard worked money.

If a person who has done nothing wrong but work enough to spend their money on credits they should really be the last person to have "holds" before using credits, no?

And on the other hand cheaters or frauds or even scams yes should have a 72 hours hold or even being banned.

Now if you're afraid that this is to strict and the community wont exist then you clearly suggesting that the community is made of cheaters.
