New Party/Friend Benefits; slightly lowered Gate fees...

Newbies who won't/can't spend money on SK(and I am admittedly, pretty much one of them*) will always complain about the 100count Mist limit per fill/day and the set 10mist/CE cost to use the Gates, but...

How about cutting Gate fees by a few Mist/CE for having Parties of three and four players/Friends/Guild Members? 10 per level each for two as is, but only 9-8 cost for three in the Party and 7-5 cost for four. Seems a bit much for Default party Members who aren't Friends, but perhaps make it a benefit of going under with 2 or 3 Friends... Or have it be a Standard or Special perk of Joining a Guild. Special, as in any Guild has to pay a Fee in Crowns for the Lower Gate fees for their Partied Members. Something like 25Krowns per Member at the time, with no more charges per new Member added after.

If it becomes something all/some Guilds can offer, it will be a boost to Recruiting. And players who start a Guild and then pay for the Gate Fee rakeoff before they even Recruit any Members, will show their dedication - especially if Purchasing the Gate Fee rakeoff costs 500ce or more, or something like 100Krowns from the Guild Master's personal coffers.

*In my defense, I DID have to buy a new computer to play SK, so I HAVE - technically - invested money in it.

@Juances...

"Alts"? You mean 2nd/3rd Slot Knights/Accounts?

Nah, this isn't how to fix

Nah, this isn't how to fix the problem.

If this happens its just going to make CE prices go even higher and non-paying players will just have an even harder time to get started in the game.

Honestly if you bought a new computer to play but aren't willing to spend $6 a month on an elevator pass or maybe less then that on CE (depending on how much you play) then your logic is seriously flawed.

1 Point and Explaination...

@Pheonyx I didn't say there was a "problem", I simply Suggest that something could be ImPrOvEd slightly...

How would any of what I Suggested drive CE prices up? Depending on which part of my Suggestion might be implemented, either Starting players get a few more runs per day off of their daily Mist for making/going under with Friends, or certain Guilds will be able to offer the same to all Members... Just because a 100CE purchase would then be worth a few more runs down under, shouldn't significantly affect the market, should it? Psychology...?

And I conceed your point in regards to my personal investment so far... I AM getting an Elevator Pass very soon, since it will help me well into 3* Gears - and probably into one or two 4* gears. I figure I can get well over 300Krowns out of it...

That's every Vote so far Against... Doesn't anyone think I have at least the makings of HALF an Idea here?
