Godzilla has a spectacular aura about
I feel like the only way to address our player-base problem is to take a stab in the dark with the ability to actually obtain items and wealth within the game.

With the way Era is now, you're essentially throwing a puppy into a dog fight and expecting it to survive.

I met a kid with 250 hours last night "Bandoo", within his 250 hours he managed to work himself up to 70k, a Gatling Gun and a few random items he has gotten from the mystery coin box from questing.

Essentially, he has nothing and can't defend himself against those who do.

I feel like the pay rate of jobs need to go up by 300% at the least.

I think once the game becomes more noob-friendly with pick up to play and how easy it is to obtain weapons of value through a solid days work will bring in new players and will encourage people to invite friends to play.

Now imagine this; You start a new game, within a day of playing you already have a gun that you see multiple people use, you are able to work and get a lot of money for a decent time exchange and you're also having fun; would you not want to continue to play?

Now look at Era.

I watch people from iEra log on and log off within 5 minutes of me showing them where to dig, pick flowers, mine, pick trash almost all of the ways to make money. The game isn't noob-friendly and without it being noob-friendly the only real good you're going to do with this gang system is let the 50 players who already play and compete in gangs have something else to do, which will only die out eventually for those remaining players.

This idea will create a lot of change, meaning; Guns worth $700,000+ in store will no longer be purchasable from store for cash, only MVP/EC coins.

and a lot of other brainstorming will have to be done for the idea to even become a viable idea but I feel like it's the change we need to take in order to have any hope of stealing away some of the iEra kids and interesting any other new ones we can get to log on.
