Complaining about stability issues and the marketplace is is not going to fix anything, so how about we, the player community bring a solution to the table? If one of the issues is that servers are expensive to run, and we paying once for the game does not cover this, why don't we integrate a blockchain marketplace into the game itself?
- All of the guns, mods and items can be NFTs minted by Battlestate games, so we're talking a semi-permissioned blockchain
- The marketplace simply becomes a distributed/blockchain app: no need to pay for any hosting, and no way to double-spend or fraud items.
- Since we have regular wipes, the blockchain size would not become too large, so that's not an issue.
- Confirmation times would be an actual feature: it prevents marketplace abuse as it would take a few minutes to settle transactions (in the worst case).
Because I'm proposing a semi-permissioned blockchain this can actually fix many of the cheating issues:
- The items that you bring into the raid effectively become an escrow smart-contract.
- The Battlestate server/counterparty can verify the series of events:
- Shot in head => you become lootable
- You're in the game for x time (confirmed by other players' clients) => you get to see the loot in the crate that just dropped
Best of all, the quest chains that require graphics cards/bitcoin mining can become "real" like pinnochio :).
