Reduce the Rip Chips price of the Day pass for the Isle of Grom

Having 500 Rip Chips just to enter the Isle of Grom for only 24 hours sounds already expensive and tedious to earn especially for those who have started the game or newcomers.

For example, doing the dailies earns you 200+ rip chips so you need to do at least 3 times. HOWEVER, you have to key in the factor that you have to wait 24 hours for the tasks to reset which is just already annoying and unfun. 

So to do the math; 24Hrs x 3 = 72 hours ~ of real life human hours for the non-premium players to just enter the new island. I know this game really relies on engagement numbers so this method really defeats the whole goal. 

Sure, there are the normal missions scattered throughout the city but that earns you only 5 rip chips and you have to do roughly 100 missions to just get the day pass. Also, those normal missions have a 24 hours reset. That alone would make me if not all of us lose interest immediatelly and not play the game.

My suggestion to fix this problem would be either reduce it to at least 200 Rip Chips or extend the "rental time" from 24 hours to 72 hours that way we can earn back our wasted time.

***I would rather 100% it to be "no paywall behind new areas" free too but Im trying to think as a game dev and trying to benefit the non-premium and new players.

    You can earn 500 in 5 minutes. There are like 10 different tabs of tasks leading to endless notification popups as you freeskate telling you you've done 5/10 of this or 20/100 of that. I earned 200 from doing 20 hippy jumps which if you wanted to speed run, you literally press X and Square together 20 times.

    I'm at about 12k rip score and I stopped doing challenges entirely a long time ago unless they are new. Without even trying, from purely freeskating, I earn double the rip chips required to get a 24h day ticket to grom within the first hour.

    If you want to be taken seriously, at least start from a place of fact rather than inventing 500 chips requires 100 challenges.

    I’m positive you get 200 Rip Chips once you finished all 4 daily challenges. Then an extra ~400 Rip Chips for doing all 4 daily challenges.

    Also, if your a newcomer and cannot complete the daily challenges, going to ‘Isle of Grom’ shouldn’t and isn’t going to be your goal. Focusing on completing the Missions and Daily/District Challenges should be the goal.

    I get the hate for them switching the payroll stance, especially when you cannot access the island for 1month without having premium skate, but honestly 500 Rip Chips for a 24hr pass that is easy and free to gain is alright. And lets those anti-support for this game at least get to try out the content for free inevitably. Whilsts also rewarding those who have supported the game¯\_(ツ)_/¯
