TFM - Mega Time Waster?

TFM is a fun game with mice...As you know there is clothes and other stuff but one thing got into my head...
The prices... On some things they are huge... Well for a 24/7 transformice player that isint a lot but take a look at a skin that costs 4000 cheese.... Not impressed yet? Each round lasts about 2 minutes... 2 x 4000 = about 8000 min.
Not yet? 8000 / 60 = about 133 H and some minutes... Yes you need to play for *LESS* than 133 H to get about 4000 cheese. Wait before you rage! I am saying about that means you might be cheese farming wich will be about 1 min...So it will take less time than 133 H for you guys probablly but even with that 4000 / 60 = about 66-67 H.

Now let's take the most expensive item in the game! Leopard fur... It costs 10000 Cheese! Let take less than 2 Minutes now... 1,2 x 10000 = about 120000 minutes, 120000 / 60 = ... ABOUT 2000 H!

Okay okay most items aren't that expensive let's try something normal... A hat for 200 cheese... I am going to make the final equation now (using x1,2 still) = 4 H... An average human has about 18 H of the time he is awake.

It's easilly understandable why most people who have over 20000 cheese dont have that much friends or is really social.

Next thing... Please dont rage about my grammar Im not english and Im not really an expert on it...

Ok Im not going to calculate all of the items time waste cost let's just finish it with this one...
The cheapest item(s) in the game currently is for 20 cheese , this is the result... about 4 Minutes... (Logiclly thinking this is supah fast! and humanly not possible)

TFM devs if you are reading this worry about the health and the activity of the players that play the game...Please think about it!

-Skynanners-

Again pardon my grammar

P.S honestly this thread is for mods not for you guys but if you read about think about it...

I don't understand this math:
Now let's take the most expensive item in the game! Leopard fur... It costs 10000 Cheese! Let take less than 2 Minutes now... 1,2 x 10000 = about 120000 minutes, 120000 / 60 = ... ABOUT 2000 H!
Please explain? How's the "1,2" part 12? How did you get the "1,2"?

Yeah sorry about that I should scutally say 1,1/3 but I was counting in minutes thats why there is a flaw in that.

Correct it?

How do you figure that it's the staff's fault that you play way too much?

It's not their problem that you're not social either?

I also do not understand your math at all

Might as well ban all games ever. And television. And books. And phones. And every electronic device.
Anything that is not work or school is a time waster.

fucking communism

And this is why I love Yogii.

Or you can juste play without furs or clothes !

It's very cool to be naked :D

Seriously, it's just marketing.
Admins sell clothes with many cheese but only a piece of strawberries ( i'm not sure it's the english traduction of "fraise", but i don't care ).
Marketing, just marketing to earn more money.

You got it right, don't worry.

They don't have to worry about it, it's the player's fault if they're on it for a billion hours just for some fancy pixels.
It encourages the players to get frasies. It's not like they can pull money from the tree next door or anything. TFM could be a good game just to kill time on to wait for something. Like for a party IRL and you're already dressed up and stuff, you can play it (or any game) in the meantime. All games are "time wasters".

wastes money on internet game
ignores people who probably don't even live near me.

yeah.
also you're assuming that each round is going to be exactly 2 minutes long. :P

Buying fraises supports the game.

If no one bought fraises, the game would be dead already.

As what Secretmiss said. Well, if you don't want to buy items, then don't if it's expensive, also, if it's a time waster for you, just don't play.

Games were made for people with no life that want to spend their time doing something fun instead of worrying about being social, work, et cetera.

If you don't like gaming, then you could give your computer to a sibling or a hobo.


~ The best thing about transformice is to collect cheese... well, collecting cheese is what transformice is all about!

i think the title should be "Make expensive items less expensive"

Sounds better really, cause now you are saying that all games are bad.. literally

MY DAMN TFM CRASHED WHILE I WROTE A MASSIVE WALL OF TEXT TO ANSWER YOUR COMMENTS!

Short Answers:

-Rutabega- 1,2 = Time x cheese = Minutes / 60 = Hours and minutes

-Haruhitastic- No , im not saying that at all! I am talking about specific game!

-Soakitup- Im not saying to take over or leave.

-Yoggi- Im doing a research how much money do they get for not even getting money directly from players.

-Pwnestu- You are not a real gamer if you say that all games are time wasters and yes it's their choice until it wont be theirs...

-Firebluestar- Read Rutabega's answer and my post again...

-Nhud- I understand challanges but seriously this will go too far in the future!

-Jepo- Yes you are right just they have life , its for people who are tired and want escape reality. I do like gaming but Im saying that in now future games are starting to mean something else for the developers... Something fishy...

-Techtriostep- Fine find a sentance where I said all games are time wasters , Btw i understand challanges but this is just money milking...

-Skynanners- Pardon my grammar.

Really? Then what ARE you saying?
Transformice is a game, simple as that. Just with other games, it is meant to be a diversion. If you think it's a time waster, then don't fucking play. It's as simple as that.
If anything this topic wasted more time than the game did. You literally did calculations for a pointless thread.

this is literally the saddest thing I've ever read and your idea of what a "true gamer" is, is skewed
if you play games
youre a gamer
it's that simple

Other then conventions ONCE PER YEAR, afew donations from players, afew supports here and there, already using marketing strageries, having an online store that sells TFM products which RARELY ANYONE goes to anymore,

How else you want them to earn money? They have over 10 members, they need to pay bills and to survive themselves etc. What else do you want?

They are kind enough to still allow you to buy it with cheese, it can be expensive, i have to agree, but just saying "Money milking" is bs.

I am saying you are insulting other games because all of them are doing the same freaking thing!

Talking about why we play games, Vsause has a pretty good answer:

AND buying shop items is not the MAIN goal of Transformice! The simple game is to just get the cheese and back to the hole. Shop items are just additional stuff, no one is forcing you to buy to unlock some ultra big shit (getting 20 items that are cheap can get you the superstar title already)
