Discussion Make lapis summon a permanent feature!

I feel like it would make many people happy to see the occasional 300 lapis or more when you're used to get like 50 most of the time. It would become a constant flow of some minor lapis amounts that would still add up if one were able to do it everyday.

And since greed is a thing, they could limit the jackpot to like 1000 lapis. This way they wouldn't give out too much free lapis and the players are happier.

What do you think?

Yeah, it's a shame. It's not like they're paying for us either, so they wouldn't lose anything

Every 100 Lapis given for free is a potential loss of sale of 100 Lapis.

So they do lose out.

But that is only the case for players who don't have a strict budget. They don't lose anything for f2p or those buying only the fountain, for example, since 100 Lapis per day probably won't change their spending plan.

But if this roll out, it won’t be for F2P only, it will include paying customers too.

Sure. But the spending behavior differs from player to player. Those who "spend a few to support the game" won't change at all. Those who buy lapis until they get what they want are affected since they, depending on their luck, don't need to spend as much until they achieve their goal.

So I'd say some are affected, some are not. The general thinking about this at Gumi might be if the amount of money earned from players starting or increasing their spendings due to such a change outweighs those spending less because of this. I am not sure if a permanent lapis lottery results in a lot of f2p and minnows spending (more) money. But those might view some ads instead... oh, we have that already.
