More Silver Coins please.

[[ADOM]mptrei]

I'd like to start by saying that i think im not the only one who shares this opinion: stuff in the shop is expensive as hell. Let's break it down and do a little math :

The average avatar costs 3.000 silver coins. (if im not mistaken, there have been 1-2 cheap, 420 silver avatars released this year)
How exactly does one get 3.000 silver ? There are 2 ways
1. Donate,
and get 420 gold, in my opinion, paying $10 for 1 simple avatar is way too much, or donate more : $30/$40 ,but come on, that is getting close to being the price of a full game, and hon is asking for $40 and in exchange is offering the possibility to purchase 6 skins, that have little-to-no impact on the game itself, except making u look cool.
2. Play , A LOT.
Let's see on average how long it would take for a normal user to reach 3.000 silver.
Assuming that the user wins every single game he is in, racks up the consecutive bonus, he is making 12 silver coins/win . Let's say that from time to time he gets a first blood, or he gets the the coins from the 250 kills/assists 50 wards milestones, or the odd annihilation / immortal streak for him or his team-mates.
I have made a lot of positive assumptions here, and mostly i have considered the best case scenario ever.
Now , ASSUMING all of the above happens , I'm gonna go ahead and be extremely generous, and say that an average user makes ~15 silver/game (YEA RIGHT)
Now , with 15 silver coins/game u would need 3000/15= 200 games to reach that magical 3.000 silver coin amount .
Let's convert that into time spent playing. A normal game , on average lasts ~35 minutes, meaning it would take the user 35*200=7.000 minutes aka 7.000/60=116 hours .For the sake of round numbers, lets call it 120 hours .
Rounding up , a normal user would have to play 120 hrs aka 5 days of NON-STOP hon to get the required amount of silver coins to buy 1 single skin.

In reality , unless you are a terminator, and don't need sleep at all, or food,or a bathroom break or have absolutely nothing to do on the side except for HoN,
you will NEVER get an skin as fast as i calculated there (lets face it 1 win= 6 coins, 1 win with consecutive bonuses =12 coins, so as u may notice, the consecutive bonus is actually rather important)

All of the above , represent a problem in my opinion.
My suggestion , the solution for this problem, would be , either giving away more coins, or make the avatars a little cheaper. Make winning more rewarding, increase the consecutive bonus cap, more frequent silver give-aways.

So, these are my thoughts, i hope i have managed to hit all the bullet-points thank u for reading this, and i hope my opinion has been taken into consideration. Replay, tell me your opinions.

I agree, if they wanted us to buy the skins ... they have to make it possible doing so without risking losing all your real friends and family. Either more silver on wins or cheaper skins.

I have been waiting for someone to post for the longest time regarding the prices of items in the shop. By no means am I *****ing and moaning about the system that they have but of course, I wish that there was a little bit more of an incentive to play and earn coins when the prices are realistic. The prices right now are absurd and unfortunately, as a student, I cannot afford to purchase gold coins for a game I have already purchased.

All I ask is that there are more double coin weekends, or maybe even extra special days where we get extra coins for playing well or playing with our friends. Maybe an achievement based system where you get 10 bonus coins for getting 10 serial killer streaks in one day or something of that nature. I love HoN but I fear that it is more of a business than a system where gamers can enjoy some kick back.

Thank you.
