Purchasable Magic Reset Product

I really like the sound of that.
To me, seeing this gamepass read to me as “fuck you this feature’s never being changed, pay up or suffer”. Given the way some others have responded, I don’t think I’m the only one.

I really don’t get why vetex went on one of his rants about the community complaining about this when he could have cleared up literally everything by saying he was planning to improve it alongside the gamepass reveal.

Because this community has always had terrible optics which is why I called this would happen to begin with

How’s this on the community? This is a communication failure on the development side of things.
They released news that will be viewed as bad without the secondary news that explains how its good.

Especially on a topic like this that has exclusively gotten bad/no news since it released.

Because saying “this community” sounds better to say.

One thing I’d like to clarify.
I do not believe you are a yes-man.

You would have never been able to have this discussion if you were.

I’m not a fan of him slinging mud back, and I can see how that can be seen as not listening. On the other hand, while I haven’t seen any egregious behavior on the forums, if it was happening elsewhere, it can drown out legitimate feedback.

Honestly to anyone making drama out of a magic reset for 2000 robux. You are too lazy to get a new file, Vetex needs money, hekate essence exists

I believe people tend to create categories like “yes-man” based on explicit actions rather than implicit thoughts. Which is a good thing because you shouldn’t operate with things you can’t directly prove and everyone probably exhibits these behaviours to some extent.

But stuff like in-group bias still exist regardless of whether or not you are aware of them so it’s still important to not immediately dismiss yourself from being part of problem. There are probably things that I’ve said specifically to avoid the categorization of yes-man; it’s hard to operate around bias.

I’m gonna sum up this thread in a single sentence

Vetex is not in the right, but the product isn’t doing harm by itself.

here’s my explaination and again this is more of a moral dilemma than anything so this topic will likely never have a definitive solution:

The Problems

  • vetex created a gamepass that resets your magic but at a very high price of 20$
  • people are upset because it lets you skip the 4-5hr grind of finding hecate essence or the 10hr grind of making a new file
  • people are also mad because they want to use it but it’s too expensive
  • vetex responded to these people harshly, explaining his reasoning for it’s expense (VERY) badly & coming off as agressive and spiteful

The Justification

  • People were asking vet for an easier way to reset their magic
  • it allows you to skip the grind but at a very high price and a cooldown so it is not very abusable
  • it is supposed to be expensive to avoid people buying it repeatedly to change their magic to metamance
  • vetex was mad at the people bashing him for making a gamepass/feature he didn’t even want to exist in the first place

I don’t think this part factors into it seeing as how he changed his mind. I was only using it as a point because it shows that if he was convinced into making it a gamepass he likely didn’t do it specifically to be spiteful/predatory.

this is like forcing someone to write an essay with no reward and getting pissed when they do a bad job

He added magic reset only because people were complaining way too much

i unironically think the gamepass should be at least double the cost

he definitely didn’t want it to exist in the first place and made it extremely difficult for what ever reason he didn’t want to add it to the game it the first place.

THIS, this made me mad. I have NO idea why people think vetex would add anything straight up predatory to his games. THEY. ARE. A. PASSION. PROJECT. Vetex saw world of magic’s success and thought he could do a better job. THAT. WAS. THE. POINT. vetex does not get a lot of credit for creating a game with barely any p2w features, absurd rates, and braindead simulator gameplay (except for fishing, but if I had to do a fishing minigame every time i caught a fish i think i might blow myself up). please respect vetex more and stop placing unrealistic expectations on him.

vetex had to cope with the coming recession somehow

Yeah because people will be able to buy $20 worth of robux by then totally

-famous last words before bro can’t somehow find an island in Far Reaches
(this is a joke but what if)

I wish it was this fast.

hecate takes like 10 hours or so, idk about you but i make significantly more than 20 dollars in 10 hours

also yea it was a shock to me too seeing this setup.
I hope its an accident, but what vetex has done here is infact predatory.
