i wonder how much having everything be blind would cause people to not want to donate at all vs seeing large numbers from rich players would stop people. i would suggest updating the rankings every reset, so you know where other people are at but you're not limited in how much you can donate. so you can try to "snipe" people on the last day but you don't know who else is or if the leader is donating more.
Or maybe only keep the leaderboard of last month on, so you'll only have a rough estimate of how much people were willing to spend on the medal last month, which would give you a ballpark estimate, to which you can decide if you can afford competing for the medal. Last month's donations won't decide if someone is willing to reach the same price again, or if many people would decide to donate more than it.
the donation (atleast for donor king medals ) didn't add up you had to add exact same meso + 1 to beat the first ( not like snow at snowman event ) is very interesting meso sink idea also you can't estimate how much people will to spend, many players were trying to do that then lose milions of meso is very tricky game and thats where the fun comes players saw that first month 300m for 1st place then next month bid was 1b many lost meso and got mad then the next month was 50m lol hene donor was hardest to get because players there allways bide on high amounts but still if you jumped on right time you could get cheap
hate to say it but this is one i think better left alone until after AB. i believe all items and mesos artificially created or rwt should be deleted ("taxed" away) and all mesos refunded if someone bought a duped item. but yes im completely fine with the rich burning their money in competition. at least it doesn't destroy the maple environment. though the spamming and flexing will be annoying
I think it would be good to include everyone else in the donation and not just the rich. For example, top donator will still get their OP reward, but everyone who donated 500m will immediately get a 30 day NX belt with 1 att and 250 hp. Maybe even 100m for a 500hp NX belt. This will also set a baseline for how much people would donate instead of “everyone donate 1 mesos”.
