Raid Timer bypass: Yes or No?

[Dysmetria]

Yes.

I have no problem with this item, and just see the usual suspects complaining uselessly about yet another nonissue.

[BlackSteel]

Yes

I don't c this item as p2w at all. It's pure convience. Store needs more items like this

[tjcmpbl]

Yes. It will help small guilds keep their toons in sync and able to raid together.

[erethizon]

Yes.

Selling things in the store funds the game. The more other people spend, the less I have to in order to keep the game running and receiving updates. This is not truly pay-to-win because they still have to do 100% of the work to get their items. They simply are not required to experience pointless delays. The worst that will happen is that the people you play with will be better geared than they would be otherwise since they have run more raids. This is not a free-for-all PvP game. When your fellow players are better equipped that helps you. It is not a bad thing.

[Arthnoxx]

No, but I'll deal with it.

[Elaril]

Yes. Id like to see a reincarnation timer bypass as well

[Full_Bleed]

No.

Either Raid Timers serve a meaningful purpose or they don't. The purpose shouldn't be to facilitate a recurring "Toll Road" access to content we've already paid for. ViP's pay a toll every month for All-Access. And Premiums have purchased All-Access to specific content. At least, that what we've been led to believe.

Toll-Roading our content when it does not serve a meaningful purpose will not be good for the game.

[avenger7]

Yes

[Myrrae]

No. If it's ok for it to be on a shorter time period then just make it a shorter time period for everybody.

When I first read about this I liked the idea because I often don't seem to have my play times + available raids mesh well with the 3 day timer. But then I thought... if it's ok to get 20 completions in a day... then it should be OK without spending Turbine points on it.

Reduce or remove the timer and make cooler looking armor or let us decorate our airships and pay TP for decorations or something if you want more stuff in the store. Don't make us pay because new content makes some old raid timers less needed for balance.

[goodspeed]

YES!

Why? Because frankly (your name) I don't really give a ****!

[Eric_the_Dead]

In short, yes.

I like having the option. If I'm on my 19th completion and getting my 20th makes me particularly tumescent then I'll buy one.

Odds are I'll never buy one, but the option is nice.

[Jujube85]

Yes, and I hope they sell them in packs of 5 and 10+ for discounts.

Also, please add ransack timer resets.

Turbine please take my money.

[Dandonk]

No. I dislike this change.

But I'm not surprised, and I suppose I'll learn to deal with this P2W change, too.

[Isolani]

Yes, and I hope they sell them in packs of 5 and 10+ for discounts.

Also, please add ransack timer resets.

Turbine please take my money.

Don't really care about raid timers. Doubt I would buy one ever. Ransack timer reset, hell yes I would buy that if I was looking for a particular item.

[barfuss]

no

[elkorm]

No

[jjflanigan]

Squarely in the "Don't really care" camp. I would never use it but I know people who would which means no impact to my gameplay except Turbine getting more money to make more things I do care about.

Did this quite some time ago with +3 tomes(when they were Rare, and came to store - Cant find the original thread right now, will look for it later), now i´m doing the same to cleary state the view of the forums players by vote, question is simple, please Answer with a clear "Yes" or "No" on the post.

Explanations may be given, but wont be taken in consideration of the post, an unclear position(Like, neither against or in favor of) wont be considered too, since its really linked to each one and may vary a lot.

Question: You think adding the raid timer bypass on the DDO store for the price of 150 TP with no restrictions of use is a good thing?

My answer: No.

Personally, i´m against it on the current implementation, since with that anyone with a big wallet can get their 20th completion right away. The use of this item must be limited with a timer, since it is really nice if something like: "Oh, forgot to pick the end reward" , or "I always wanted to do elite on that raid, but i´m on timer and just 1 spot left D;" . Both cases happen, but not every single day, not every run you make.

A timer(like, 7 days or something like that) would be nice, but as the current form i´m tottaly against since it provides the possibility of paying to win on the raids. Sure, you still have to run it, still have to have the "luck" to pull(Even more with the awful drop rates on the new raid, like, 13 runs, 0 commendations for me, and i´m not the only one).

Yes: 37
No: 22

doesnt really matter at all if people can bypasss it or not. its their money, and it doesnt effect me at all. infact it could only mean that people could join you in a run even if they forgot they were on timer. Yay! this could actualy be helpful!

[Qaliya]

Dunno if it's been mentioned yet, but it seems to me the only direct impact on players who do not buy these is a positive one: more raids being run means more opportunities for all, and also means more items being passed in chests.

[Ungood]

Yes.

Because lets be real, charging a one nominal fee for content is not going to keep this game going, thus funds need to come from somewhere to fix all the screw ups in what they should have put out correctly to start with.
