This Is The Actual Cause....

[jajabacon]

The point of this thread is to clear up why or what is causing the game to not have a strong player base. These are just opinions and ideas that I've come up with so there's no actual proof of anything I'm about to state/say lol . I'm just going to highlight on three main targets that I see :

Reason #1- The marketing
We all know that bandai is notorious for having some pretty random commercial slots for promoting. They are pretty thrown together ,quite cheezy, and always seem to be rushed.

Solution- Bandai do more advertising through social media , websites, and contests. This is actually being done but could do and be alot better. Basically more effort is needed.

Reason #2- The Prizing
Ahhhh yes the prizing the main reason of being a competitive player. The prizing for this game is ughh well to put it in one word "lame". Bandai has given us the reasoning and we all understand why, so there's not more of a need to elaborate on why the prizing sucks.

Solution- Bandai goes to having a bi-monthly SJC with prizing only pertaining to the game of NARUTO. Meaning no ps3/xbox or whatever they have as prizing now lol and MORE CARDS. The average american household has a gaming console in it , but set 24- 25 lol not so much. Now idk how much it costs bandai to make a set but, I'm sure it'll be less costly towards the company instead of having to give at least $1,100 in bs prize support 12 months. (I'll make a thread on my theory of how prizing should be done.)

Reason # 3- PLAYERS
We as player's of the this game should be more welcoming toward new players. Although bandai doesnt make it easy by barely giving the already players insentives to play and buy there product, it is our role to make the game grow.

Solution- promote your hobby, everything is better and more interesting when there are 5 people to speak on the same subject instead of 2. Bandai should have a section just for NEW players where more experienced players can answer and help. If you call the Q&A section this solution ughhhh I'm sorry for new players lol .

I'll have more time next post for more detail but hopefully the average person can understand my views. So discuss and post if you have any questions or solutions of your own.
