Forum > Suggestions > Off Day: One Free Scrim either per Team or Agent - Good for that day only

Every three days, there is an off day. There are no League or Ladder games scheduled that run on the servers.

So, perhaps a free Quick Scrim could be allocated on that day. Limit it to one per team or one per agent, whichever is easier to code. Have it expire if unused. Basically it's a coupon.

This way, there would be game activity on the third day. It would allow for different tactics, etc. to be tried by people. It would be a useful educational tool for upcoming owners/coordinators who are uncertain of their tactics and spending FLEX to achieve it.

It expires; it's only good for one day and one game. It utilizes resources (servers) that are otherwise unused and yet has no effective incremental cost.

I think it would promote more activity. Yes, some people that schedule scrims today and pay FLEX may spend slightly less over time, but my guess is that the FLEX loss to WG would be much less than the FLEX that would be spent by more customers making more teams and more players.

Thoughts?

servers are now also used for mighty brawlers

that would be 15 free scrims per season - per agent (or team).

Of course I'd love it -- but I'm doubtful it will happen.

It works out to 10 per month. Maybe it's too much, but maybe each team gets 3 per season to the owner?

Maybe it's an incentive to renew? So every season you renew your team you get 3 quick scrim credits?

Free scrimmage on off day gap would be great.

Pay money to provide a service for free that currently isn't free. Hmm, that doesn't sound like the best business model.

Yeah. What he said. Like the in the store, when you just don't sweep for a year, because people pay you to sell gas, not sweep. And how you haven't changed the hot dogs in a month. And how you choose not to participate in the coke 2 for $2.22 promotion because people will pay $1.59 each and like it.

You all know that store. And you all saw it go out of business when the new QT opened.

Sometimes you pay a server by how much it is used, you may think it is unused, but it means smaller bills by the end of the month.
