Thread: Sengoku Providence announced!

Since a Nutaku employee monitors this thread, I guess I'll post my exit survey here.

I am a baby-whale of sorts who spent about $300-400 on this game. So I wasn't too concerned with how much of the game was free and how much of it was pay. Instead, the reason I left was because the obligation of guild wars ended up making the game feel like a second job, with four hours a day on guild wars combined with the extra amount of time you need to spend preparing for it in advance (freeing up inventory slots because odds are you will accumulate quite a few senki while replenishing Battle Force during Guild Wars, for example). And thus my reason for leaving the game.

Of course, I am likely not representative of every paying customer. Maybe others can just play the game and ignore guild wars. I myself couldn't put up with the guilt of knowing I was taking up 1/20th of the guild's roster and not contributing to my fullest, nor could I go guildless instead because I wanted those medal-only senki. In the end, with guild wars destroying my sleep schedule (like, seriously, two of the guild wars were at 2 AM and 7 AM EST and the remaining two happened while I was at work and couldn't attend, so if I wanted to help my guild AT ALL, I had to attend the ones that occurred during the exact time when I needed to be in bed instead) and not being able to reconcile with either not helping my guild which is made up of real people, or not getting the guild medals towards the latest senki, I decided I was better off just leaving the game. I have also made a vow to not play any more browser games that have scheduled guild war competitions in them because at that point, for anyone who actually cares about their guild, the game starts becoming a job, thus I did not move on to Kamihime.

I am a mini-whale of sorts where money isn't much of a factor. However, as a working person who already has a job, time IS a factor, and Sengoku's guild wars took up too much time. Thus I, and my money, have departed from the game. I also note that at least two other paying people I know left Sengoku for the same reason.

It may be that it's still more profitable for Nutaku and DMM to continue having guild wars in their games as they MIGHT encourage other whales to spend more money or be more committed to the games, moreso than the cost of people like me leaving it. However, Nutaku needs data in order to be able to realize if that's the case or not, so.... here's a little bit of data that I can give them from this baby-whale's personal experience and the reasoning for my decision to leave the game (and not participate in any future games that have such things)

Well, okay, that and this silly event with its silly 400k point requirement to get 160 magatamas might have also contributed a bit by giving me massive burnout for trying to reach it. Like, seriously, by the time I hit 200k points, I had maxed out both godified and evolved versions of every inhuman senki, all 16 or so of my 5* evolved/godified senki, and all of my other 4* and 3* senki, and still had 200k points left to go. At that point I was sitting there trying to figure out what to do while striving to get the remaining 200k points and all my brain could say was "Now what?" That was another pretty big clue to me that it was probably time to go. As another bit of data which may help Nutaku in their future business endeavors and how to design profitable events that retain spending players, I did not spend a single cent while getting that 200k points because I did it all with free magatama. So basically this event didn't get Nutaku any further profit from me while perhaps contributing towards this baby whale's departure of the game at the same time. Hopefully this data will assist them with how they design future events.

......but yea, it was mostly the guild wars.

Again, I can only contribute my personal experience and may not be representative of other baby-whales, but I hope this data can be of assistance in future game designs. Good luck to ye!
