>>6015832>I do want to encourage people to be there live and, between the guy who slept in and the guy who woke up for the stream I'd want the item to be in the hands of the guy who woke up/took a day off/etc. for it to get the item.I work 2 jobs just to make ends meet. There's no way I will ever get anything implemented under this sort of logic.
I need you to understand that this is not an insult to you as a fan or anybody else that can make those things. I know my situation is not much different from anons that had to get up at 4 AM to make the old adjustment time. I don't think there's a problem with making it EASIER to access for people that show up on time. But if you implement mechanics that only benefit people that can show up for every special stream, you may as well pack it up. This game will be effectively dead if you return to the mistake of narrow-window time-locked participation mechanics.
Adjustments being a specific window are a necessary evil, and one people STILL have issues with. If you say "you only get it if you're here at X time frame that is less than 1 hour long", you are willingly choosing to utilize a system that you know has caused great vitriol with the fans. This is not an easy decision, but you need to consider the wide range of players and time zones that participate in the game, and whether you're willing to say "fuck you, you should've given up money/education time/ect. to be there for the anime girl".
Let me repeat that: You WILL piss off SOMEBODY in the playerbase no matter WHEN you release it if it is time-locked to less than 24 hours.
