ThunderHeart Let me step up from all these little pathetic men ( No offense crownd but ya all way to negative for me to like any of ya)So with that being said I think about either 500 FP would be good as you can loose that in PVP in minutes so that would be suficce. No if we were going to pay credits I would say that anywhere between 2500-5000 credits is fair for the whole 24 hour period.
Lamerz of the boards suck it up or .... or face the music. These developers are looking for constructive feedback not unpertinent critcism.
TH hope that bit of feed back helps

I don't think the issue is SOE's ability to remove decay.
The issue is that SOE doesn't want to remove decay, even though the players are overwhelmingly opposed to it. That's not a real good business practice.

No way. And if you DO do it, it better be cheap. I'm talking 50fps, no more.

All I got to say off the record is none of you posting here obviously PVP enough. I run a large 85 player PVP guild on another server and all I got to say is that you would not think 500 fp is alot to pay considering a night I make anywhere from minimum 1500 to 5000 killing the likes of you. So all in all a recap...Either 500fp's or 2500-5000 credits (possibly more). That would be suffice, thanks for asking the feedback.
Now onto my question:
How can any of you justify that there should be no decay????Tell me that with a good answer and I will then change my mind. You should not be able to buy one weapon and have it forever. Your not forced into PVP so with that being said.....HAPPY HUNTING!

Dude, what we are saying is NO DECAY ON DEATH, not that stuff shouldn't decay at all.
Weapons decay when they are used, armor decays when it is hit. That's how it's always been. What is stupid is that your stuff decays EVEN IF INSURED.
That's what we are complaining about.

TH,
One thing that must be addressed is the double decay on armor. I supply a few different armorsmiths with Syn cloth and RFP and they are NEVER hurting for business. They can't even keep a full suit of composite stocked on the vendor for more than a day or so.
The death decay on armor needs to be removed. It decays when it takes damage which is enough. Then, we can discuss the faction insurance day pass cost.

Im sorry I feel that it is fair to charge us for 24 hour passes. When you die with the gun in your hand you should still loose condition...It is fair. No one should have the same weapon forever or armor....
What needs to be fixed of a more serious nature is the prices on all these items then we wouldn't have this issue. Kill the dupers for ruining this game. Man It is sad when we pay 500-600K for a suit of comp really now!

This is how to make a bad idea worst!
Decay on insurred death affects everyone, not just pvp and not only factioned players. Decay only when not insurred @ 1%. 0% decay when insurred.

0 fps I think my 15 bucks a month should cover it.

Either make it 0% decay when insurred or remove insurance altogether and make it 1% on any death.

Why do you think armor prices are so high??? The armorsmiths are totally swamped with demand for armor, so the prices are high!
Decay on death is contributing to high armor prices.

Insanity... Table for ONE.
OK, this idea logically suggests that the devs think that the 1% decay-upon-useless-insurance idea is BAD.
SO... Why not take the LOGICAL step, and just remove that 1% decay completely. It would be MUCH easier than screwing around with a useless day-pass that totally shafts neutrals.
Think of the difference in coding... just switch the 1% to 0%.. compared to creating a whole new system, pushing it through test, wrangling the bugs.
But I guess they are doing everything in their power to get everyone involved in the GCW and PVP, so they don't actually have to come up with CONTENT.

Correction on your comment there. The devs only had to propose something due to the fact that the likes of you keep whinning and its spamming there boards with useless nonsense crapping out the network for the likes of us the non complainers.
Suck it up or play Kirby!!!!
