So most people don't see a point in buying gear for a bot killing simulator let alone it would be similar to buying lvl ups in other games. So what are you saying most people in Ni buy gear now? vs being free to play.
Buying gear takes away the fun of it I would think for the avg player (I'm talking about going from 0-100+ etc) even if you are at the 250 mark buying gear should not be necessary.
First, if you want to put it in mathematical terms for easy analysis, you would want to see how much money was spent on items in NI. Then at that point, you would mean the median amount spent. Second, you've never established that the expected amount of money spent by the median player is 0. Third, you probably didn't run a poll or find how much people have spent, nor calculated aggregates (standard deviation, margin of error). Finally, without actual statistics: the claim of what "the average player" does is just anecdotal evidence from anyone and their circle of acquaintances, which is the definition of confirmation bias.
No I am not saying most people in NI buy gear now. I don't know where or how you inferred that. But the link that it's difficult to buy an item with game gold to the fact that it's difficult for the average player is a stretch. There is very likely a simpler explanation (herp derp, it's now valued more highly than what you're offering).
The true statistics of it are not part of what i'm saying or suggesting having an intelligent guess does not hurt to talk about.
The Ek was an example of the problem I am facing that others will too and that's selling in a market that's not the same as most people's market if that made sense and it should.
