I don't blame royale high for being greedy, and fans are a large contributer
Royale high may have started out as a passion project but, as it grew barbie needed to have better and better updates because lets be honest nobody would still be playing if it stayed nostalgic. With the need for quick and high quality updates barbie needed to hire a dev team meaning they need to pay the dev team alongside paying herself. This game is a job now not just a big project that is community driven, that means prices for shop items need to go up because the money goes to the real world.
People always complain about trading prices, and how roleplay is impossible now but these are community issues barbie can't reasonably fix without hundreds more complaints and issues
- if she lowers rarity for halos and prices for all items in the shop people would complain how its not fair that they had to buy such high prices just for them to lower. and people would be upset about halos being common meaning they aren't a prestigious item anymore
- she can't remove trading as people would be upset about not having any way to get unobtainable items or expensive items a bit easier
- if she were to make diamonds spawn a ton more or have game events give more exp so everything is technically cheaper then she would miss out on income, meaning that quality of the game would lower as if you don't pay someone for their work they won't work (and also see first paragraph)
- she can not force roleplay, the current map is honestly pretty solid as you get rewards for following almost realistic behavior, alongside there being multiple other maps and schools. the stop in roleplay is the communities fault
of course the game has issues like past realms not being very updated, the game's shopping system not being beginner friendly, and holiday events being underwhelming
my biggest complaint is that the map doesn't scream royalty and more a fantasy school especially with the sizing which if they possibly restarted on campus 3 but a bit smaller then it would be insanely perfect
lastly just as a personal thing but 3d modeling at that level of detail while avoiding lag and a low poly look is very difficult so obviously they're gonna want irl payment for in game items
lastly 2 the s-xual and bigoted outfits can't quite be fixed by the dev team without a LOT of banning, the only reasonable fix is removing cultural items which is a lot more of an issue as removing rep to appease bad people isn't a solution. however if they ignore reports of bigoted/predatory people then that's an issue which is understandable to be upset about
big yap, i'm not forcing you to change your opinion if ur strong in it but different perspectives are important
