JapanMS removes 2x EXP tickets

There used to be an article that the CEO or whoever said that 10% of the players give out 80% of the profits. Which was a messed up 80/20 model.

Hard to gauge that it's the hardcore that comprise that 10%. For all we know, that 10% is simply the percentage of players who are continuously financially active. MMOs don't exactly have high retention rates for paying customers in the F2P model. Say of all subscribed players, only 30% are active. The 10% he refers to may actually be just 30% of the active sector who choose to put money down for premium features. Of that 30%, only 12% could be high level players who consistently charge NX, while 48% could be Hene whores and Hene whore clients, far from the hardcore category. Hardcore spenders? Perhaps.

Just speculatin. I hate how the CEO gives out tidbits that take forever to string together.
