The third group, the lonely 10 folks who tried very hard, but failed to fully grasp the material, are massively disenfranchised by this strategy, receiving the lowest grades, despite a genuine attempt to learn the material. The 20 who get the extra credit will no doubt be happy for it, and will get a passing grade, but will have learned nothing more than you can succeed by not doing what you're supposed to do. In this scenario, the 20 who were doing well will probably be mildly annoyed, but they have their A anyway, so whatever.
After the first month, 20 people have simply stopped showing up, 20 are attentive and successful, and 10 are struggling despite having attended every class.įast forward to the end of the semester Your professor announces, with no previous warning, that he is giving massive extra credit, but only for students that haven't showed up to class. The class, at the start, has 50 students. Perhaps a metaphor will make this clearer: Either way I'm going to play the game I enjoy and welcome these returning players with open arms. And who knows maybe they will give loyal players a extra benefit in the future. While you may not get the whole grand, whopping, gargantuan, amount of 400 gems, that equals what? about $5? If your going to argue that because Arenanet is trying to keep its players, or influence those that quit to come back, is a bad thing then maybe stop playing. Arenanet is sending out these to help convince some people to come back. In no way are you losing anything you had before, the "returns" have stayed the same for a player who has been playing all along. Meanwhile you still get access to the content that they're putting out biweekly, some of which the returning player might never get to experience due to it being temporary. They send out a few gems and probably get a few people to come back from it, which is what they wanted. I'm assuming you mean Diminishing? And if so i'd like to argue that it's not. Active players are not receiving any such reward for their dedication to the game, and are now being incentivised to become inactive (it may not be a very good incentive, but there ya go).
Therefore, xFInN's issue is that an activity that only inactive players can engage in (specifically inactivity) is being rewarded. For the sake of fairness, this opportunity should be offered to all players, active or not. Also, anyone not currently active is incentivised to remain so until they are offered this reward.Ĥ00 gems given after a period of inactivity followed by a period of prescribed activity (perhaps a quest line) would be an incentive to resume active play. You are, of course, incentivised to log in to receive the reward, but the deed done to earn the reward remains unchanged. You're getting something for something which was done. However, because we didn't previously know about this reward, we were not incentivised in any way.Ĥ00 gems given after a period of inactivity is a reward for the inactivity. Here, the incentive is now to remain inactive for a long period of time, thus securing the reward of 400 gems. Incentive - a thing that motivates or encourages one to do something.Ī reward can be a type of incentive. Reward - a thing given in recognition of one's service, effort, or achievement. You obviously don't know the difference between rewarding and providing incentives.
