Do they have different drop rates depending on how many coins something has?

To loot tremendous amount of money TWOW just has to open race/faction change.
The bag of fashion coins is not character bound. So that's at least one thing that isn't.
Am I assume it right that you can get return donation item and get some points back?
Coming from a family of addicts and having gambling addicts close to me in my personal life really makes me hate that they've done this. I feel like this is a step in the wrong direction in a big way. If you're short on funds, ask for more donations, put stuff on sale more, or something. No need to bilk players out of their hard-earned cash. Also, don't forget there are literal children that play this game. SO many reasons not to do this and only really ONE reason TO do it.
I think over the years I have proven that I care about this community, and would only be so vocal if I truly felt it was important. This announcement is likely going to burn a lot of goodwill the players have for the team and I hope some of what I have written will help guide future donation shop offerings. The constructive feedback is very appreciated.Vrograg wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 6:14 pmI understand that development isn't cheap but standing by my principles of being an advocate for the community as best I can, I can not condone this donation shop egg thing. This could be very harmful, especially for people with gambling addictions and children who might not understand how this all works.
Here are suggestions to make the eggs less predatory:
- publish odds: this is law in many jurisdictions for a reason, it allows people to understand how likely / unlikely certain outcomes are.
- limit the purchase amount per account: This is a wise safeguard to protect against people "chasing" certain items, which largely accounts for why "gatcha" games are so harmful / profitable.
In the future the team needs to consider less harmful options by:
- allow a way for players to obtain the egg in game: At the very least consider players who would like to participate but have no means to do so.
- Offering more transparency: If the team is struggling it would go a long way to try and understand this as not profit derivative. I understand given the legal gray area private servers are in this difficulty, but any info is better than none.
- Fundraising Goals: Consider server wide benefits for meeting them, kind of like "Patreon" stretch goals. This would allow people to participate fairly and within their means without disproportionally benefitting some players over others.
- Avoid Gambling rewards: Many see Turtle WoW as a refuge from the corporate slop many gamers are given, and loot box style rewards are one of those things that turns a lot of players off about them.
I say all these things with much love and respect for the team.
- Include the Players: This server exists as it does because of the players. Ask them how to best offer fundraising, much like how the team has reached out with the Class Change Council, you'd be surprised how creative and resourceful your own players can be in trying to support the team's efforts.

What I do not like is I had no clue what the Egg was, and was VERY intrigued by it. I almost bought it For that mystery. I had to come all the way here to find out. OH God I had to use Google and my brain to type "Turtle Wow NobleGarden Egg" and find all the info I needed in a single click! What scoundrels! While this business practice is highly shunned uppon, it's because of Top Tier Developers Milking their corporate bought franchises. I mean the VAST disparity between them and a small team like this...you make me laugh! You're all trying so hard and I think it's a joke. Sure I will not spend my money on one now, although it does seem a little fun for me cause I never do this on anything else. But atm I just enjoy their deals. Go cry somewhere else. Thank you to all the staff. Continue your fine work. Ignore these children who talk about change but can't even bring basic math to the table to give ideas.
