I already noted the key differences between Nutaku and DMM (less freebies, more sales). That doesn't excuse the fact that there was no reason for this new mechanic to be put in place.

I haven't been arguing what the rewards at all, though I've certainly considered the worst possible outcomes. No, I'm concerned with what the game will devolve into, and if it'll go down the likes of how X-Overd failed.

What hyperbole? Sure, I took things to its logical conclusion, but does that really change anything in my argument? If the race for highest TP devolves into a "Dendrobium or bust" contest and all other units become irrelevant, does that *really* promote a good change in the game? Of course not.

And if you don't know what one of the biggest browser mobage is, which I intended to use as *the* example of most F2P-friendly game, then I'm seriously doubting this conversation is even worth having, since you clearly don't have a metric with which to gauge what is and isn't bad business practice for mobage.

In the meantime, I guess we're just going to ignore posts like this because "I'm being a doomsayer and mean to Nutaku devs."

First of all, I have not called you any names. No idea where you got that idea from unless you're the kind of person who considers disagreement or characterization of tone an attack on your person. If you are, then I apologize for upsetting you.

The only people who are really going to care about any kind of race for highest TP are the people who already do. The only difference now is there might be some token rewards for it in the future. Getting upset that player A is ranked higher than player B because of the luck of the draw is a silly thing to get worked up over and who's to say that if the discrepancies are so bad that the way TP is calculated can't be tweaked? You can't claim to take things to a logical conclusion when that conclusion assumes the absolute worst; that is inherently illogical.

Finally, while I readily admit to my ignorance about "the biggest browser mobage", I wouldn't be so quick to assume that goes hand-in-hand with ignorance of bad business practice, mobage or otherwise. Let me put this another way: why do you think F2P games exist?
